The shop that replaced my tires ruined my seat

I got new tires put on this afternoon. My car went into the shop clean as can be. It came out of the shop with a fucking coffee stain on the seat. They, of course, deny all responsibility. What can I do about this?

You can inform Scary of their location and after some stern finger pointing, lyrical trash talking, not to mention so many weird gifs it will make their eyes bleed, they will beg for you to allow them to replace your seats free of charge.

Honestly, I'd clean it up myself. I saw on a forum some dude used this stuff called Spot Shot (apparently you can get it at Walmart) to clean motor oil out of the carpet in his truck. Since it's not body damage, I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it.

Talk to their GM and scream at them a little bit. Then give them a bad Yelp review and shit on their doorstep.

Why was anyone in the passenger seat?

Ya I’m planning on cleaning it at work tomorrow. Thankfully I work at a car wash. The shitty part is that I’ll have to pay to clean it. Like 35 bucks. Fucking obnoxious.

I was speaking with the shop manager who denied all wrong doing. I pointed out to him that the car went in clean and came out with a fucking coffee stain on the seat.

I have no idea whatsoever. Nobody besides myself and the tech have been in my car today. I don’t even drink coffee so it sure as shit wasn’t me.

Ok, then just the bad Yelp review and the shitting on the doorstep part.

Pooping in their sock drawers would probably be more effective.

Didn’t you suggest that somewhere else, hahahah

Yes because 60% of the time it works all the time

nah man, I’d say like 90 depending on if you had mexican food or not the night before.

It's not fair at all, but sometimes if you want something to happen, you've gotta do it yourself. Good luck man!

Hmm I didn’t consider that

08/20/2015 at 22:20

Weird...but did you smell it? Sure it's coffee?

Big Bubba Ray > TractorPillow
08/20/2015 at 22:22

Coffee or soda. Wasn’t sticky like soda. It was splattered all over my letter from tech school and looked EXACTLY like coffee stains on white paper.

08/20/2015 at 22:23

100% worth it. It’s just another stupid Adam Sandler movie, but it’s a good one haha

Hooray terrible people! /s

After we had a plastic bit on the sun visor of the Fusion replaced there was these wonderful grease stains on the the grey/tan visor which looked lovely. Which of course I didn’t notice until I got home from the dealer.

Yep, we’ve got a steamer at work but its gonna cost me $30 or $40 to use which I don’t exactly have right now.

Jeez, that’s annoying. I’d go spill coffee on their shit and see how they like it.

In was halfway home when I realized it. Literally hauled ass back to Autotire in less than two minutes. Freaked out the manager and let him have it. Fucking douchebags I tell ya.

Avoid the Autotire at Manchester and Geyer, for future reference haha

Don’t fucking do it. They jerked me around for TWO DAYS and then messed up my seats. The shop manager, Ted, is a total cock. Avoid them man.

My dad says I should just go to Sam’s cuz he’s had good experiences there.

Either that or I'll have my local shop Roy's do it.

Had a shop change my snow tires, and instead of putting them in the trunk (which admittedly is a little tricky) or folding down the seats, they just put them unwrapped in the back, leaving a small cut in the leather (which fortunately didn’t go all the way through the backing). Don’t trust shops that have lost their lease and are running out the clock (even if they’ve done good work for you in the past).

Put in racing buckets. Or remove it. Because racecar.

You assume I can’t already do that

I'm just saying you can't just do it. It takes a couple tries. But once you get it in, you can't miss.

Sams usually has good prices on tires, but they didn’t have what I needed so Autotire it was. If Sam’s doesn’t have the tires/prices you want, go to a shop you trust that has good prices for everything.

I swear I was about to dump a hot cup of coffee on the shop manager’s prized, shitty ass Buick Reatta after our encounter.

My car is the most expensive thing that I own and I take great care of it inside and out. When someone fucks with it, it really pisses me off.

Dear god I would throw a fit if somebody had ruined my leather seats.

This shop had always been great to my family so I went to them for tires. The completely screwed me over and I’ve been telling everyone in my area to avoid them from now on.

Jonee > Big Bubba Ray
08/21/2015 at 00:26

I hear you. I mostly work on my cars myself, but I took my daily in recently because the fan stopped blowing at the highest speed and I didn’t feel like dealing with it. And, the jerks scratched my glove compartment door. Like a honking big 6” deep scratch, not something only I could see. I was furious. It’s part of their job to be careful about stuff like that, and they didn’t get it. They were like, it’s a 23 year old car. But, it’s my 23 year old car that previously had a mint interior!

That’s so shitty. I’m starting tech school next Tuesday to become a mechanic. These type of guys are the kind of mechanic that I don’t want to be when I finish school. This is why non car folks don’t trust mechanics. Because they fucking screw you over and deny all wrong doing.

I’m lucky they’re black I can only imagine what tire dirt and brake dust would do to light colored leather.

I guess we all need to take a video of our cars showing the condition of the body and interior before we hand over the keys to any garage mechanic or valet parker these days.
