Damage? What damage?

99% of that can be buffed out

I would consider a dent to be damage unfortunately. The picture doesnt really pick it up

Fair enough, but PDR works WONDERS. And if you go on a day when your dealer's PDR guy is there, they shouldn't charge more than $10-20 to remove

Well if you want to try and buff out what we can let me know. I usually have a pretty open schedule on Fri-Sun.

Look at that... That was very much done on purpose! A little scratch on accident maybe. But that, it looks like someone pushed the cart back and forth! That sucks dude:/

I just got a new job in the service department at a ford dealership while im in my mechanics program. Im going to get outside quotes and talk to the collision center at the dealership too and hopefully get a deal.
A different story entirely but im already sickened by my boss telling me that "we dont sell waranty work. I dont care if oil is starting to slowly drip out of the pan, if the customer doesnt know about it, then we won't fix it under warranty." Absolutely sickening. But thats a story for another day

Heck bring donuts to the collision center guys and they will buff it out for free. Should only take them a couple minutes.

Getting back to it. It doesn't look like a cart hit you, it looks more like a car hit you. A carT doesn't have that much flat area to do sweeping damage.
And it should be pretty easily fixable, so don't lose sleep over it!

I hope a simple buffing takes care of it, thatd be great.

But yeah I dont understand why he makes us be shady. Even for an out of pocket customer I can bring them to their car and show them while its up on the hoist whatever is wrong. But I just started and dont want to piss my boss off already.

Probably about 100 miles from grand rapids. I have a buddy who lives there though, so if your serious and if its something that can be buffed out I could definately make the trip there and stay with my friend for a day or so as well. And yes, my fingernails do catch on most of them

If the scratch it deep, then I suggest getting a touch up paint.

1.) Apply touch up paint to the scratch only
2.) Wipe excess
3.) Let it dry
4.) Repeat the process until paint fills up the scratch
5.) Sand that badboy with the proper grit sandpaper
6.) Finally, polish/buff

Lots of people don't care but you have no control over that other than park as far as you can from high traffic areas. Could be accidental too. Fix it and move on.

Did you ask the store or the shopping center property management company for a copy of any available security video?
