Arrgh
Fuming
Just had a 2 ft long wavy scratch keyed all the way along the off side rear quarter of the Merc. The paint was curled up and still attached.
Rant time
Go to a big shed retail park this morning – its quiet.
Find a space, miles from anyone and park up
Take a moment to collect a few things like wallet, phone and paper and get out of car to find a 5 Series parking up right behind me
I got to get a couple of bits from the boot and he stops 6 inches from the rear of my car and waves me through (how generous!)
I get my bits, give him a bit of a curious look and walk off, but notice that he drives to within 3 inches of the car and stops the engine.
Am in the shop no more than 3 minutes, returning something, come out to find he has gone (and I was quick in the shop) but has left me that present.
I did not give him “the evils” or anything close to that, but I suppose moron BMW drivers must think that that is the standard intention from anybody looking at them (and quite often true I suppose)
Wa**k*r!
I’d put money on it being him as the centre was quiet and I wasn’t near any other cars nor pedestrian routes.
In fact I am now putting money on it – shelling out to get it repaired.
However, I am using Auto Restore.
They are new to me, but out of interest I called the account manager of the Accident Management Company I appointed to look after the Groups UKI fleet and they have just been appointed by them to do the minor repairs for all their clients – including my lot.
Apparently I am being dealt with as a demonstration of service to said Accident management company, so I may not pay full price (some silver lining, but…)
Out of interest I’ll let you know about the repair etc as they do offer a service to retail customers / punters
