Tint shop door dinged my new car twice

[Hemidayz]

This tint shop by my house door dinged my right door twice. It looks pretty hard too. It’s been a week now since I picked her back up but she’s been sitting in my garage since then, no one has opened that door and I was detailing my car and noticed it. They left a bunch of water stains. I texted the owner and told him he needs to make it right, is there any legal course I can threaten him with or do I swallow this? This jerk even took a tip from me. Is the factory paint correction spot on ?

Ask him to fix.
If he says no, let him know that you will tell the world his shop is a bunch of a** hats who couldn't tint water.

Still trying to figure out how they damaged the outside of the car.
Maybe they move it into a garage?

The owner had me move it into his work garage, the right side had barely any room I remember,

It’s in a unnoticeable area but it’s still killing me 😂. Could the dealership have done this, it’s definelty possible. When I took delivery of the car the only thing I checked was the exterior of the car.

Can you take a more zoomed out picture.. I can’t even see what the hell i’m looking at.. I see 2 dings and 3 flying saucers on some area.. sorry this happened.

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Btw those 2 dings look pretty gnarly. That was more than just some guys pants rubbing on them. That looks like whatever part of what the hell i’m looking at (still unsure hah) they made some serious blunt contact with an rough sharp object

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Actually now that I’m looking at it those Arn’t dings those 2 marks look like Gashes in metal.

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

2 dings would be one thing, that photo you have looks like 2 gashes and some water stains. Take another photo a little more zoomed out of the car though. With that area in it..

You won’t really be able to see it if I zoom out. It’s on the lid of the door.

So that’s under the bottom? Can you take one photo face on sideways of the car door? That’s pretty nasty.. I’m not sure what the tint shop could have hit that gashed your door like that.

It’s on the top side of the door, if that makes sense. I’ll take a photo for you in the morning. Is there any way to correct this?

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Well, I’m no professional but if that’s the bottom edge of the door.. maybe they could sand the problem area and paint spray touch up with your cars Color Code paint. I’d ask a local reputable body shop for a quote. If you want to fix it in 5 minutes.. you could take some similar white paint on a cue tip and touch it up. I’ve touched my front splitter up a few times on the leading edge with some Benjamin Moore black paint. You can’t even notice it. But since you baby is brandy new I’d go the body shop route.

Man that's too bad, those are through the paint. Someone opened the door into something somewhere...tough to prove and it's sad no one will fess up to it.

Think of it this way, she's already got her first battle scar! Drive it!

 

[Mean Cat]

WTF, I hate this kind of crap, you can't trust any shop to pay attention to what their doing & not F something up.
Sorry this happen to ya.

 

[HellcatFan]

My guess is he probably hit those areas with his tool belt while getting in and out. That part of the door would never ding anything.

That’s a positive way of looking at things, I already feel better. Im worried that side will start to rust if I don’t take care of it immediately.

Thanks brotha, this is exactly how I feel. I contacted my dealership to see if there was anything they can do. they said they’ll will try to resolve the issue

No one is going to help once you leave with the car. They will always just hide behind the old "you have to point it out to us before you leave. Otherwise you couldve done it"
