    luckily it was only in the clear coat and i got it out. the worker straight up denied it, and the owner said get it buffed out and ring me a bill... big deal. i wanted a fargin apology, but all i got was attitude...

    years prior, i took our black civic to the carwash. they used a brush for high profile vehicles on it and scratched the paint - some into the clear!! They denied it 100 percent, but i know they did it!! Come on. state farm said no way to prove, so they (carwash) wouldn't be responsible short of admitting it, which they did not. and i never drove it off - I spotted it asap.

    best of luck!! I hope they fix it.
    i hate repair people - no offese anyone! they are so careless with other people's baies!!!! With sympathy, Lauren
    Never take a car to a carwash. And those student fundraising carwashes - just give them $5 to leave you alone.

    I have NEVER taken a car to a carwash since that event. Never. So boy I know you are right! (No one will be touching mine but me.) As far as our school carwashes, we take the old spare junker which is a hopeless case anyway if we decide to help out.) A good point though - someone might not stop to think that the dirty water, scary sponges and well, everything else, are a paint disaster waiting to happen to anyone who cares about their car's appearance.
    TOday I was told it was my fault that someone scratched my car deliberately because I drive such a high profile vehicle..... Like that one?
