Local dealer messed up my car!
I took my pristine little GT Vert with 13K miles on it into the local dealer to get the carpet fixed. The mat holder was missing and there was a 2" hole there. So they ordered a new carpet kit and it required R and R of the seats.
When I picked up the car the driver door was sticking and wouldn't pop open the couple of inches it usually does. I had to pull it just to get it to crack just a little. I took it back to the local dealer they skrewed around with it and sprayed a bunch of crap all over and it still sticks.
Then yesterday I was installing a Ford Racing Suspension and noticed that on the passenger sill they put a quarter sized dent in the aluminum mustang plate and scratched the plastic door sills and scratched the white paint toward the back seat.
I am assuming that someone dropped and dragged the seat through the door.
As for the drivers side I can just picture a mecanic with door in his left armpit while it is partially open kicking the carpet into place.
That also might be why there is a 1/2 inch scrape on the back of the leather steering wheel at 7 O'clock. He would have to hold that while hanging on the door. What a monkey.
I bet they say they didn't do it.

That explains why I don't go to the local dealer.
I go to the dealer that employs people I know and can deal with, which is 15 miles out of my way.
It still scares me though.

I feel the same way...I will not go to the dealer with any repair unless I have no choice...That goes for any service...You never know what will happen and usually something does...
I will stay while my repair or service is being done and want to meet the person who is working on my car...Yes, I know it is only a car...

What is this "only a car" stuff? It's your Mustang! Hell, I would do background checks on the mechanics if I could. I payed for it, I want it kept perfect. ...and no, having OCD isn't pleasant
