Local shop tried to destroy my Z

Sorry about that... At least they don't mind paying

And that's why I go to Costco/Sam's Club for tires, if they screw up, they pay

Yea I don't have money in hand just yet but he seems to be handling it or I should say he is billing his Landlord. I will for sure be inspecting the grounds of whatever shop it ends up at next time. I may just ship tires to Nissan and pay them for labor at least they don't damage my car. It baffles me that he would let a sports car try to make that gap and chalk it up to he wanted it to happen to get it fixed. Apparently someone stole the drainage grate that used to make it level.

I am hoping when I get home to inspect the front bumper the chin spoiler didn't tear it or crack the plastic before the tabs broke or let go as it was ripped off.

Yeah, living in SoCal, we are spoiled at how many shops there are for all sorts of cars, but even then, you gotta find a good one and that's never easy.

Good thing I found specialty Z, what more can you ask for than a place that has guys that work ONLY on Z? or at least 99% of the time hah.

EDIT: As for your situation, I'd say get a lawyer, because that's an example of lack of professionalism and recklessness.

You know im seeing a whole lot of at least they’re going to fix it but that is a hassle and a half for the simple fact.

1. Seeing your car damaged parked where ever it sleeps at night all messed up.
2. Waiting for the parts to get in to have it fixed.
3. Then taking it to a shop to have them install it with a slight possibility of an over nighter.
4. Not to mention that Fi exhaust is on major back order.

Omg this bites bro and I feel your pain.

HOLY CATS!!!! Now that's a horror story if I ever heard one. As the saying goes "you can't make that up". You can imagine how bad I feel for you considering I started a thread because I was upset with a car jockey at a Nissan dealer who had to adjust my seat position to drive it which I am anal about. Yikes...!!!

I get critized all the time because I choose to pay a little more for always bringing my Z to a Nissan dealer for servicing. I wouldn't even think of bringing it to a small local garage no matter what their reputation is. But you know what, I have peace of mind that at least if something goes wrong, I'd rather be suing Nissan Corp. than some small garage owner. I just had 4 new tires put on my car by...yup, a Nissan Dealer. Did I pay more to have this seemingly easy task done? You betcha!!! Do I have piece of mind that it was done right? You betcha! I consider my Z a huge investment even though of course it's not since it depreciates but to me, it is!

I can only hope for you that the damage caused is just cosmetic. When you start scraping things underneath, you never know what kind of damage was done. That's a no brainer that he is willing to pay for the damage...he should. If I were you, I would have your Z checked out by people who know your Z, at a Nissan dealer. Good luck in the future!
