BMW dealer crashes car,tries to screw owner.
Not too surprising.
-snip-

Dealership rags my car and wrecks it on a test drive!

Took my car into dealership this morning for a oil/brake change. I get a call a few hours later (not even from the manager of the dealership) that my car had an "accident" while being test driven. They stated the driver hit a patch of sand and slid into the curb at 20mph. Damage...Wheel cracked, tire blown, front end will need repaint and the strut is cracked open. Immediately called B.S. on the story and it was obvious temp manager knew what really happened when I got there but would not admit it.

1. What is the name of the dealer?
They won't be getting business anytime soon.

5. There's only 4 dealers it could be
Edited on Thu Sep-02-10 11:22 PM by tammywammy
1 in Ft Worth, 1 in Arlington, 1 in Dallas, and 1 in Plano. (I think that's all of them).

The dealer hugely fucked up. The guy needs to get their insurance and yes even if one dealer wrecks a car (shit does happen), you can take it somewhere else to get it fixed. This guy's lawyer needs to go after their ass, and help him replace the vehicle (with that much damage, how is it not totaled???).

7. I was ready to post "this thread is worthless without pictures"
Then I read the thread and discovered Swede was using the metaphorical "screw".
