Dealership scraped my R8 what to do?
 

My Audi R8 was at the dealership to get the clutch replaced and they ended up scraping the front. The damage is small but it's there. They offered to buff it or to repaint it. If they repaint it they have to repaint the whole bumper. What should I do?

Get a whole new front bumper from them.

Berz out.

this

Demand for a new car. Nothing less. Walk out the front door like this --> :fuckyea:

which dealership is it? ill avoid that one

I'm curious to know if they owned up to their mistake or was it you that brought the problem up with them?

i own an R8 thread

i approve

That will buff out.

lol, buff? :fuckthatshit:

This isn't a paint scratch. The plastic's scuffed up. This isn't a corolla.
Act like a stereotypical pretentious expensive car owner and demand a new bumper.

Now the damage itself looks pretty minor, and you're probably not an asshole, so it's up to you. But I believe you have every right to ask for a new bumper if you do go that route.

Also, not sure how good the painters are at dealerships. I would get them to fund you to get it painted at a good autobody shop instead. They probably have better painters.

i know right? it's an R8 for crying out loud

I love R8's.

They are fantastically good bang for your buck. i saw a couple of these R8's down in the low 80k range now.

Wreck your car in front of the dealership with your best golf clubs

Bring a loudspeaker.

Works everytime. :troll:



All jokes aside, bumper replacement for sure.
That will definitely not buff out

This happened to me when I had my BRZ. Scraped the front on the curb all across the whole front. They booked me in to get the bumper repainted. When they drove the car back to the dealer they did it AGAIN but worse FailFish. They ended up switching front bumpers with a new same color BRZ they had on the lot.

Kill it with fire, it's only logical. Don't forget to record and post to RS.

My dad was the one who went to pick up the car and he noticed the damage when they brought it out.

lesson learned, don't burn the clutch in an R8.






:troll:


replacement bumper or a lawsuit for replacement bumper and legal fees - let them pick.

what dealership is this of fucking idiots?...the R8 Isn't even low to be biting a chunk out of it :heckno:

good on your dad, i never look over my car, and if i did i would never look there or probably notice it!

but after knowing that its there i couldn't live with the idea that its been damaged/repaired id demand a new bumper too

I'm assuming it's the Nanaimo Volkswagen dealership since Manic lives in Nanaimo.

New bumper + something for wasting your time Kappa

Soooo who's R8 is it? If I had an R8 my dad wouldn't be picking it up from a dealer... :suspicious:

I guess his new clutch is already pre-used. :lol

ask for new bumpers - get everything in writing!
cc Audi Canada on everything!

The dealer is 90 minutes away in Victoria and my Dads friend had an appointment so he got a ride with him.

Dealership is Audi Victoria.
