Ok so I took my car in Cherry Creek Collision for repair. First they told me it would only take them a week to get it done, but then my S ended up sitting at their shop for six freaken weeks. I even had to called the insurance for for those losers for the supplement. I was a little pissed off but didn't care that much as long as they get my car done. But the f*ck up thing is when I brought my car in it was 38769 on the clock, and now it has 39090 miles. Is that normal? or should I call them?

 

I would if you have proof. That would be outrageous.

 

Every time I drop my car off at a shop I always take a picture of the odometer. That's the only way you can have proof. You can also call them up and tell them how many miles were on it when you dropped it off and then once you picked it up. Tell them you didn't take a picture but somehow there was 300+ miles driven when it was suppose to be worked on.

 

Wow...that's a lot of miles.

 

I have the paper work from them with the exact mileage when they took in my car. Do you think it would do any good trying to tell them?

 

Uh yes. How many miles to get to and from the garage from the parking lot? Maybe .005?

 

TO be fair if there was serious damage they often have to test drive the car. It there was any suspension or frame damage a good shop will road test the car. Now that doesn't mean they should drive them 300 miles so I would confront them about that.

 

yea 300 is way too much. for a car with driveability problems like to re-learn a sensor/computer then its acceptable but not to drive after bodywork. Unless they prefer to drive it over "bumpy uneven roads" that happen to be 100 miles away. No excuse 4 the miles

 

Wow, I'd be LIVID with whoever had my car and put more than 5-10 miles on it. There is ABSOLOUTELY no reason they should have to drive 300ish miles after repairing a car. When my S2000 went into the body shop I dropped it off with the GAS light on and made sure the owner saw me take a picture of the Odometer with my phone, makes it easier to kill temptation when there's no gas in the car. Did your gas level change? If they drove it that far they HAD to fill it up...Then I'd be wondering if they put Premium in it or not.

 

almost half of my tank was emptied. I'm so angry right now, but i don't know what do to. I called them a million times, but just couldnt get a hold of them.
