I wasn’t even talking about them telling me somethings wrong with the car - that would be fine bc I have my own indy shop I would have verify it or not. I was more so speaking of small scratches to the paint, scuffs on the front lip, etc. - cosmetic issues that comes from lack of care. I’m this guy:

I have mine booked in for tomorrow + some warranty work, will update on how it goes!
Yeah, that’s another issue. There’s one within a hr distance. The next closes one blew me off 3x for warranty work. The one close to me had my car on THREE separate occasions before actually doing the job (one time for 4 days and they didn’t even start on it lol). But then they want to praise me on how nice/pristine the car is. Just do the job! Ok - rant over. I’ll figure out a solution to the issue at hand I’m sure.

Good luck w your appointment.
