First Scratch


BOB47

Recommended Posts

Bought some new wheels 2 weeks ago (Bazo B-5's) from Belle Tire. They did a very poor job balancing them. Took the truck back Monday to have them re-balanced. Decided to save myself some time and instead of waiting with the truck after work, I dropped it off at lunch and picked it up after work. Didn't notice until a couple hours later that I am now the proud owner of a 1 1/2" scratch on the right front corner of the front bumper.

Belle Tire, of course, had nothing to do with it. Lesson learned: NEVER leave your truck with anyone. Stay and watch them.

The good news is, they did a much better job balancing the wheels this time.

sorry to hear about your news. that is a big proble with dealers/mechanics, they don't give a rats a**. i used to get my vehicles back with grease all over the doors. I also found a scratch on mine. :fume: Isn't very deep but nothing will get it out. It's scratched. No idea how it happened. S**t happens....

Sorry to hear that, Bob. I know how you feel. I've had similar things happen to past vehicles. Nothing makes you feel more helpless as there is NOTHING you can do to prove it wasn't there when you brought it in. Good luck, buddy. :flag:

I have a few scratches in the clear coat as well. :fume: Seems some birds used the bed lid as a landing strip a couple of times, real nice skid marks on there. :sigh:

 

Wish there was a way to electrify the truck to Zap birds, cats and dust on contact, that would be :cool:

I had to take mine back two days after i bought it because of a thin spot in the passenger front seat leather. they ordered me a new seat cover for the bottom half. when it came in i took it back to the dealers body shop and the guy asked for the keys so he could put it in the garage and he was smoking a cigarette and was going to get in my truck. i went ape shit on him. need less to say i drove the truck in the shop and put the cover on my self. they were not happy but that was the way it was going to be. i still havent got the dreaded first scrach yet and i might cry when i do :lol: people just dont respect other peoples stuff.

blackhawk - pick up a tube of McGuires scratch X. Removes scratches better than anything I have ever used. You can find anywhere.

Will do! :thumbs: On second thought maybe I’ll just wait till the birds finish the pin striping for me and see how it turns out! :lol: I think they like to come in for a landing watching themselves in the rear window, they even leave their feather dust on the window when they smack into it. :lol:

:cry:

yeah I got my first scratch this weekend as well. I was over at a buddies house picking up some concrete equipment and my brother-in law was putting a troul in to the back and put a nick in the clear coat just above the drivers side rear wheel well. not to bad but enough for me to give him shit for the next few years or longer.

I got my first scratch this weekend and I like to kick the guy's arse that did it.The dumb son of a beach threw open the lid of my garbage can (plastic) and caught the side of my truck just behind the right rear wheel. It wasn't to bad (clear coat only) came out with a little help from McGuires. Oh Yea the the dumb son of a beach was ME! :uhoh::lol::cheers:
