Re: loaner car incident

Geo, its good that you have that mindset. Unfortunately, I'm only 20 and not mature enough, nor rich enough, to think that way. In terms of speeding and mods I will probably look for the easy way out for the rest of my life. However, in this case, I am aware that I really did mess up and should just be honest.

Anyway, this is what happened. I went to the dealer to return the loaner and pick up my car. I was planning on telling them but they were like rushing me out of there ... they had my car waiting for me and basically just told me to give them the keys and leave. So I did and sure enough, they call me later and I had to go back to give them my insurance info and stuff. The service manager guy was pretty pissed. It looks like my insurance is going to cover it... and I might not even have to pay my deductable. Not sure about this yet though.

Bluestreak - where are you from?


Peter

Re: loaner car incident

I won't repeat arguments, but I totally agree with Geo & Bond on this one. It all goes back to that entitlement attitude that was discussed in a previous thread.
It would have taken two seconds to say "I caused some damage to the loaner" while they were handing you your keys. Now, unfortunately they think you tried to get by with it. Do you think they will really give your car the best effort in the future now?

Actually, there was a third option -- getting it fixed before returning it, or fessing up and offering to pay for it out of your own pocket, if the damage wasn't too extensive or high. They might have come up with a lower figure if you wanted to pay for it yourself, rather than sending the bill to your insurance company.

In fact, it may not be too late to apologize for not fessing up, and offer to pay for it out of your own pocket. Again, if the cost isn't prohibitive to you.

Re: loaner car incident

I agree Geobau!! Always wondered what kind of person could park next to me in a parking lot, open their door, and ding my car, and not have the respect or honesty to own up to it and pay the damage. Never would have though some would be G owners themselves!!!!
