Open your mouth. Go in there are raise hell.
I just got my BMW back from the mechanic and his guys stained my floor mats with oil. A simple piece of plastic or paper would have prevented this. I had him factor out the price of the new mats from the total bill.

Do you have any photo proof? Some detailed photos of before/after? Carelessness in the work place. What a shame.

I recommend HAPPICH SIMICHROME POLISH
It works great on polishing out scratches & scuffs,while shining anything to it's ultimate beauty.
It's expensive,but worth it over the others to me as I've tried them all.

Thanks Guys for the feedback. I will not get anywhere with the dealer. I tried.They just see a 20 year old truck and roll their eyes. It is a mint original paint 20 year old truck however that had perfect chrome before going for a inspection sticker.
Rick that is the stuff I could not get the name of. I heard about a product the boys use on their bikes and this is it. I hope I can get it in canada.They told me it is unreal.I am going to try the bike shops first.
thanks again Joe

Mac, file a complaint with the DMV or whatever agency controls repair shops...I assume they are licensed in Canada...also contact the local Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs, Attorney General, etc...if they get hit with inquiries from seveal of these at once....you might be surprisd how fast they step up...give it a shot..

wilma


...or better yet, hire Al and Jesse to protest out in front of the place...you'll get a new truck!!

I hope this compound will get the marks out Tom. If not maybe I will protest.NAAA. Brother buys three trucks every two years for his business which they have got for many years. I don't think they have made the connection we are brothers.Think I will take his Avalance in for the next oil change that may wake them up.

Hi Rick:
Well I got the polish and man you were right. It took out 75% of the small scratches. I would not have believed it.
I am sold on it now. Thanks again for the help.Yes she is just a old dodge but a 17,000 km original paint old dodge that I try my best to keep mint.She is driven every day and just to still be here after seeing 18 Nova Scotia winters says a lot.
