What he's saying is even if the wheel were damaged and it were acknowledged in the pre-check, they would then charge the second guy for further damage, even though the repair had been paid for by dude A. | Exactly. Say there was 3 inches of curb rash, if the next guy brought it back with more damage other than the 3 inches of pre-existing curb rash, he would pay also. Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong. But what he's saying is dude A damaged the car and acknowledged it, so he paid xxx$ amount when he returned it to get the rim fixed. But BEFORE they fixed the rim another guy rented it out and damaged the same wheel again, so he had to pay for it as well. Meaning they got paid twice to fix it once.

Even if we get one person putting $150 worth of damage every 2 months, that's still $2700 over three years. And that's a lot more than a fresh respray from a place like Maaco (which honestly is all it would need to be sold as a mint car). | ^ A lot of the vehicles that aren't sent back to the manufacturer after a quarter of use are never repaired and costs for repair are just collected.
Just a lot of weird shit I could go on and on. And the insurance they push on you so hard, it's essentially useless because although it does cover the vehicle, if you read the fine print there are so many technicalities which cause it to be void. Further to that, any decent credit card will carry a zero deductible zero fault coverage. Whether it was your fault or not, you are covered 100% and there's no deductible. These are just fundamental flaws I found, even more shady shit happens based purely on the fact that there's so much commission to be earned |
