Hello,
After having my accident I took my car to a dealership and specifically told them not to paint the car. They painted the fender and against my wishes and did a terrible job. There is primer visible, additional scratched when they installed ithe fender, drips in the paint, and a large bubble. They took the charge off for the paint job but forced me to pay the remaining amount before I left on Friday after 5 pm before the holiday weekend.
My question is since the paint is not the same as the factory finish and will not last as long have they devalued my car, and what recourse do I have. The car is worth about 25,000 now. When I ask people if they would pay that much for a car that has been painted they say no. So obviously there is a stigma now with the car as it has never been painted before.
I have thought about disputing te charges on my credit card and taking then to small claims court. I would also like to add that that their response when I told them they were not supposed to paint the car was well its done, we can't undo it so you are just going to have to get past it. So I guess you can see why I am hesitate to let these people touch my car again.
Thank you,
