Dealer scratched my car! What do I do??
Freakin' Nissan dealer had my car for two weeks and two days to just fix a stupid rattle. Finally after a Nissan engineer comes out to look at the car they tell me that it is normal!! YEAH RIGHT!!
Now I get my car back and there are scratches on the front and rear bumper! I'm not some loser trying to pull a fast one on the dealer but they really did cause the scratches. I've had it with these people, what do I do? It seems like the only course of action now is small claims court. Does anyone have some advice?
HELP PLEASE!!!

It is tough to prove you didnt bring the car damaged, so I doubt you'll win in court. I'd take it as a loss. See what your insurance agent says, try to make your ins. company go after the dealership (they got own liability policy) so you're not at-fault. What's your estimate?

Thanks guys
I took pictures of the damage before I left the lot. I figure that it won't cost that much $200-300. I washed the car a few days before I gave it to them and I would have noticed those scratches. They definately were not there at that time. Unless I got hit on the front and rear bumper in a span of 3 days, Nissan did it.

same thing here
damn nissan took my car in to fix my seat. (the back cover on the seat came off) and when i went to get my car 1 hr later...i see this big a$$ scratch on my rear bumper. the scratch was at least 4 inches long and so f***ing deep. when i went back in there and told them what happened, they said it wasnt them. a$$holes. its been almost 2 months since that happened and i always wanted to get it repainted, but i dont have the time to. how much would it cost? would the lil paint job match out evenly?

there's an ad on TV about so-called paint sticks for nearly any color, for deep scratches. Your fill in your scratch, let it dry, and then buff. I saw similar staff at Salvo Autoparts here in MD.
If your estimate is 200-300 then the aggravation of litigation doesn't worth it. If you had prepaid legal, on the other hand, it'd be for free..go figure.

I feel sorry for you!
Your misfortune has RECONFIRMED my idea of videotaping the car with the days newspaper before I drop it off(unless I can watch!) to get my ECU programmed. Then any damage will be unquestionable.
I hate the way dealers break two things to fix one and then they try to cover their a$$ by lying. Again, this is another example why I don't like to take my car to dealers unless ABSOLUTELY necessary and also why I won't buy another Nissan.
