Stupid dealership!!

I'm so pissed at Park Ave right now. They didn't really do anything wrong but get my car dirty. I washed and waxed my car on Saturday and today I took it to the dealer and when I went to pick it up, there was mud splashes everywhere. Apparently they drove through puddles and mud spots and there was mud everywhere. I know it's just exterior but I just cleaned my car! Grrrrrrrr!
On another note, my brakes are making a funky noise and they are telling me that there is a rock in my brake pads. Anyone know if this could be true and if this is really bad?

sh!t i would tell that the rock is probably from them driving it through the mud and puddles. i might be bad having a rock in ur breakpad, i guess it has to do with luck, i'm sure theres a chance it might just fall out, or u could end up scratching the hell out of ur sh!t, or ruining ur pads

This happened in our minivan, and was the reason for need of replacement rotors. From what I heard, it was when the rotors are at its ultimate hotness in temperature.. and if the car picks up a rock at the right angle and with enough force it can embed itself in the rotor or pads that are softer than normal due to exceesive heat, and then when the pads and rotors cool, the rock has now become a part of your braking system.
