Stupid HEB Parking Lot DING ~!

Came back home from the grocery store and some bastard left a 3" long ding with scuff that needs to be buffed out on my front driver's side passenger. Do you think if I go back to HEB and complain to them they'll pay for it?

Not in a thousand years will HEB pay for ur damage... and its crazy for u to even ask them when they arent at fault.

Only chance u may have with them is if they have parking-lot cameras which clearly captured the car damaging urs.

same will apply for walmart. Even if they have the "hit and run" captured on video tape and the vehicle and license plate is clearly shown, neither the store or the police can help you.

Whats up shahn and vinh

It literally stands for Henry E. Butt. H.E.B. is the name of the grocery store.

In central and south Texas it is the largest grocery chain store

In San Antonio H.E.B. finally drove Albertsons out of the city!!!!!

Not just no, hell no. They have big signs indicating that they're not responsible for damage. Sorry to hear about your dmg.. There's a reason why I park so far away from the doors whenever I go into somewhere... You would do well to follow the same advice once you get your car fixed.

You've had a lot of bad luck recently (lost keys, scratched car). What'd you do, walk under a ladder?

Actually you do have a chance to get them to pay, if you can show that they knew there was a problem and didn't do anything reasonable to correct it. Like cart drop off areas and signs indicating that they should be used. YMMV

it's ok... I got it all fixed today... the guy charged me $35 but I gave him $40 since he didn't have any change for me. He did 3 other dings for me and even repaired this 3" wave in the metal I had on my driver's side door where acura made it a little imperfect and you could tell.

Good work. I'd recommend him. The price was pretty decent as well. Total of $140 for all 3 dings, dent on driver's side fender, and crease in the metal on the door b/c of Acura.

he's at the Acura dealership on Wednesdays in the afternoon generally. I'm scrambling through my phone book and I think his # is 512-845-8988. Not 100% sure... if you guys start calling and it's not the right number please let me know so we can correct it on here so some guy isn't getting a bunch of phone calls.

Why don't you try calling the number and confirming it?

1) it was late when I sent the reply.
2) I have a big paper due today in genetics.
3) it's not really a big deal if someone else on the board tries calling it is it? sheesh...
4) you're not even local. this doesn't even apply to you...

so I found the card... these guys have 2 numbers

512 970 3644

512 825 5564

I found the business card. The other number is either the guy's direct cell phone number or something.

CO-CL-S thanks for commenting...
