Lookie~ My car is out! BAHAHAHAHA (insane)
As some of you might remember, my car was broken into and pretty much my entire center cosole was raped along with my window.
After being car-less for a month and a half , I finally got my car back and went to a local stereo shop to have my new replacement system installed.
I drop my car off and go out to grab a lunch. I come back 2 and a half hours later.
The employee greets me with a weird smile. " Hey~ you made it back. "
I say, "Hey~ how are we doing on my car?"
"Well... let's see... um.. I got something to show you."
I think there must've been some problem with my Alpine 9833 installation. I follow. I don't notice anything as I am walking toward the back of my car. I go towards the front and I almost drop a brick.
My bumper destroyed. (replaced 4 months ago, after a brick on a road destroyed my JIC bumper)
As it turns out, the employee hit a curb of their parking lot as he parked my SC. $@%@#$%#%#$
I HAD THIS CAR IN A SHOP FOR 5 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say " ah F***... ah... F**** "
The damn manager didn't say 'sorry' till the moment I left the building in utter anger. I am so pissed. They tell me they will take care of everything but how will they repay my emotional distress and time that will be wasted commuting on bus to school and work? ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did a little calculation. It comes out that I am replacing my bumper every 4 months. 4 times total. 3 JIC bumper gone, and this time a bomex bumper gone.
Do you think it will be too much if I ask them to pay for retal car?

I doubt these bastards will pay for rental...but I'll try to ask politely anyways.
And this was an insurance job, so I don't pay for the labor or parts. I'm sure they will send a huge invoice to AAA after doing -such a great- job.

Yup, damn right they're responsible for the inconvienence. If you backed out of their shop and ran over some of their equipment they'd hold you responsible. Like Brian said I'd definitely speak on it and not be shy, but just don't be an azhole about it. If they refuse to do anything tell your insurance company.

Man, This is horrible. I think your anger can be felt from far away.
On the bright side.. a new bumper and audio system.. you'll appreciate the SC all the more?

I have to agree bro.....first off I'm sorry for your troubles.....second....its there problem not yours....let them pay for a rental whether it be through their pocket or their insurance company.....dont let tem charge a dime to your insurance company...handle those fools....They know what you as a consumer is capable of....dont let them screw you for that.....my .02
