Heck, my car can go down .1 on the average mpg guage just sitting at a stop light.

 

In the end it all turned out okay. The whole experience was tainted due to Poor communication to me and broken commitments. It did not help i had to go back and have one of the strips fixed because there was a crease in it on the front roof line. I may have been pissed in my posts but when dealing with them I was very adult and professional. I do have to admit in the long run I am so excited about how the car looks now. I even told them despite the communication errors and the delays they did a great job.

 

Good to know they didn't beat on your car

 

The Ford dealer in my town did this to me I was pissed!!!

 

I'm glad your car is ok. I'm going to avoid handing my keys to a valet for similar reasons.

 

That's almost an apology / retraction.

 

How can they not know there is a crease in your stripe? Quality control?

 

I am not 100% convinced. there were other thing prior to this that were not right. They also should communicate to the customer the process. I take partial blame but not all. that is why I set the record straight but no official apology.

 

they were in a hurry to go home the shop closed at 5:30 and it was after 6 when they finished.

 

This happened to me too when I has some tinting done on my brand new purchase (< 100 miles at the time), though not nearly as seriously (the joy ride was about 3 miles).

I always verify the odometer reading before taking my car in for any type of service -- these days with a picture of the odometer which is nicely time stamped by my phone.

 

I also take a pic of my miles
