Hi...
ok this is what happened... last week some F$%^&*% criminals broke the window of my ZX3 and also stole the wing...
I took my car to TROPICAL FORD (in Orlando, FL)for the repairs...
...they told me the car would be ready TUE morning, so on TUE morning I go there and pay the deductable ($250) and the woman gives me the key and say, ok you can take your car now, bye...
I say ok, bye... then.. I look at my car and I notice that the right fender is damaged, the headlight cracked, and also there a huge crack on my EVO3 bumper...
I ask the woman to take a look at it... and she says:
I don't know what that is...
I say, what? something happened here...
she says, maybe it was like that before...
I say WHAT ????
I have pictures of the car, it was NOT like that; it looks like one of your trucks hit my car...
I then tell her to KEEP the car, I don't want to take it because they will say I did all that damage...
I called my insurance company (statefarm) and they told me they won't cover the damage (+- $800-$1000) because I policy do not cover that kind of collision...
I say, ok; but shouldn't TROPICAL FORD pay for that? and STATEFARM say, well go talk to them...
WHAT F$%&%& IS WRONG HERE ? ? ?
I leave my car with TROPICAL FORD COLLISION CENTER, they damage my car, and now they want to return my car 10X worse than it was before ? ? ? ? ! ! !
The manager then asks me... well, do you want us to give you an estimate of how all this is gonna cost YOU?
COST ME? ? ?
I already paid $250, now I can't afford to pay +$1000 for something THEY did....
can anyone help me? any advice?
I thought they were responsible for the car and that their insurance company would take care of all that...
