Hi,

You have every right to go in and talk to the manager; and then firmly state what has happened.

The sooner the better lest they claim that the scratch occurred after wards.

I don't believe that you are too picky by doing the above either.

But you can certainly tell them that you are picky = meticulous.

my 2c, Tez

I also agree. Call them asap if you cant go in there right away. Then take it in and get them to fix it.

If they dont, call consumer affairs. Be worthwhile if the part is worth 500 bucks ! :P

Yeah I could see this was going to happen so before I took my car in for a new head unit I pulled most of the trim around it off and put plenty of masking tape on all the parts they might scratch. Looked stupid but was well worth doing.

When I got my headunit done in my R34 they scratched the outside panels on the centre console (the black sections on the edge of the console), even on the gearstick sections.

I absolutely went mental and after 15 minutes of me yelling and carrying on eventually the owner agreed to discount the price of the unit and installation was completely compensated

feel bad to ask?

dude, thats YOUR car...............

the owner of the shop made money out of you for the work he has performed.....and the scratch his worker performed....

i would ring them up and talk to him about it.....

u neva know.....doesnt hurt to ask....

he might even fix it for you to keep a good name for his buisness.....

or he could just be a f$% witt about it......

thats when you ring the "office of fair trading" and explain to them what happend.....

things on the dashboard arent cheap for some reason...

especially an import.

well if you dont..........your the one stuck with it.......

thats why i try to do things DIY..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
