So someone who has what appears to be a terrible driving record and perhaps doesn't have a license and is maybe unable to get insurance, uses customers cars, customers fuel, customers insurance, etc. etc. to run their errands?? Sounds like a good job perk!!

Who all is authorized to take these customers cars home from the dealership for diagnosis purposes? Any tard that happens to be employed there? Good point.

I also see that he has been in trouble for drugs or paraphernalia I would be concern that he left some stuff in my car or that he was dope up at the time od the accident. Also I may have missed it was there a police report. |

View Quote Good thing people in Ohio can't hunt deer, or claim carcasses that have been hit....oh wait. The police report would be great, as well as a picture of the deer he killed. Instead, you're going to believe the tech? The same guy who causes tons of accidents and flees accident scenes? He was on the way home from school.

Well, without a sample and access to a biologist, I can't say for certain, but it certainly looked like it in the video. Look, I'll buy it was a deer strike, but if that driving history belongs to the employee that wrecked it, he shouldn't have been working in any "test drive" capacity for his employer. |

So let me get this straight....your claim is the tech hit a waste management dumpster and then went and shot a deer or claimed a carcass so he could put the deer hair all over the front if the car??? He did this in a span of what 15-30 minutes? Are you seriously delusional? And your basing all of this off of what exactly? From the video that the OP presented to us I think it's a bit more believeable that he hit a deer. |

[#11]
After looking at the pictures and watching the video again I am questioning the deer strike even though there appears to be hair in the car. If you look at the 3rd picture in the area where the hood is raised up it looks like the paint as been rub off to metal. Also in the second picture looking at the edge of the hood in the same area it looks like the metal is ripped apart and in the video it looks like scratches running across the hood in the area where it is bent down just above the headlight. Until someone can explain these things I am going to agree with others that the car was driven under something. If this is true the question now is where did the hair come from?

How much does the "little consumer vs big business" mentality play into these situations? If the scenario involved a small mom 'n pop type operation and the restitution demanded would put them on the brink of bankruptcy, would as many posters hold the same opinion? Where does that line lie? The OP deserves to be made 100% whole, due to the dealership letting morons fuck with his car outside terms of the agreement. Not OP's fault that the dealership had a shitbag employee, or had lax rules. This. 100% whole. If the dealership wants to take the legal gamble of a less-than-whole insurance settlement to save a couple thousand dollars, that's their choice, and their risk. Whole should be the standard, and if being made whole incurs legal expenses, then that should all be part of it. Whether it was Charles Manson of the Pope doing the diagnostic drive, I don't think it matters with regard to making the owner of the car whole. If it's the former, then the dealership should be thinking really hard before giving the owner the run around. It's a calculated decision by the dealership. Let's see how they roll the dice. |
