So I run my car through a touchless wash at a gas station last night like I always do and at one pt thought I felt the back of my car get pushed down slightly. Thinking it was maybe some added water pressure and not really paying much attention i pull out once it was done and drive home. Get into to my garage and start wiping down the excess water only to notice there are 2 huge dents/scratches on the top of my trunk. Man I freak out, my car is only 3 months old. So apparently what had happed is those rotating rods that spray the high pressure water with those heads didnt extend far enough out and two of them basically dropped ontop of my trunk. Ugh sooo fng pissed. So I went back to this gas station and talked to the owner/mgr. He was very nice about it, took down all my info and said that he will call the carwash company in the morning and their insurance. Asked me to come by today during lunch...... Wish me luck

dope!

mm sucks doode but i would never put my car through one of thoe things for that exact same reason. i've heard nothing but bad things and i would never put my car through that in fear of what just happenned to you.

on the bright side, its good that the station is taking care of the situation and addressing it instead of just ignoring it.

I never let anybody else touch my baby. I prefer the touchless places that blow water & air. blow jobs > hand jobs.

Hahaha its a nice read to break up the long work day.

leolebo28

no i didnt think to do that....i went back to the gas station that has the wash on site and talked to the owner/mgr. he said that he would call the company that services the wash and get tech out to create a report and call their insurance....so now its just a waiting game....of coarse i'm going to continue to harass them everyday until i get somewhere with it.

and lol and the "hand job" comment, needed that laugh ha

Sucks bro, nothing better than washing the car yourself. I'd keep hassling them about it to make sure its going to be taking care of.

Those never get the car clean anyway, its more of a rinse. They use dirty re-cycled water anyway. You are better off cleaning the car yourself once a week by hand. Good luck, and I hope they repair your car for you.

and this is the reason that I never let anyone but myself wash my car

black label

Agreed

leolebo28

UPDATE..............

gas station mgr just called me and gave the number to their insurance to file a claim. called the insurance they're sending the claim over and said an adjuster will be in contact with me within the next 2 business days. hope it all works out

that sucks, but the lesson to learn, is to not use any type of car wash period....

full service car washes with hand wipe downs at the end are just as bad...its just a scratch fest on your car...if you dont care that much, then go for it, but if you are really picky, never let anyone but yourself wash your car.....

Atta boy....now where did you say this place was now?

LukeaTron

The only people other than me that touch my car are the people at the detail shop. They get my car spotless. They even scrub out the carbon from my exahust tips. Let me tell you, there's nothing quite like having your pipes cleaned by professionals.*






* None of this true but was necessary to make the joke work.

i only use gas station washes, but not that kind. the kind where you put a token in, and spray, wash and rinse yourself.... best bet.... or do it at your house if you can

lowered cars + car washes = damage

IlovemyAcura

I'd like the address to this carwash place please

leedogg

cause nobody loves your car or knows how to wash it satisfactorily like you do

racerxx

exactly......

^^^bummer dude! Hopefully it gets fixed and looks good as new.

MWalsh9152

eds04TL

What's this big problem wit illegals??? Dude they pick tha fruits and veggies u eat 2 moron..... just b greatfull there's people doing tha jobs that u would never think of doin......

Stay away from touchless washes man, the chemicals they use in there are 10X stronger than that of a regular wash. Why? Because it's touchless and it has to be that more effective because of it. Trust me, a friend of mine runs a car wash with both touchless and regular.

Find one of those do-it-yourself places where you pay by the minute if you have no where else to wash it. If not, dry it as soon as you pull out of the bay because the chemical residue mixed with the sun will eat your paint and fade your window molding!!

Just some friendly advise.

Cheers man.

We have to pay more in taxes, health insurance, and the cost of living because they get a free ticket for all that shit, while we bust our ass taking home half of what we fucking earn each week while they get cash.
