      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On Feb 22, 2024, I took my car to service at **** *********************************************************************, with the promise of a loaner. I noticed the car was dirty with mud stains from the rain over most of the car and windshield glass. Then drove directly home to ********** where I decided to wipe the car to remove most of the mud stains. That is when I immediately noticed a dime size crack on the windshield, mid to lower area, just almost midway between driver and passenger. Upon returning to the dealer, I mentioned to the service advisor of the crack and he quickly accessed the situation to accuse me of the damage. Then I asked how he would assume that, if we didn't have the opportunity to walk through the car before driving off the lot. He said that was my option. Thereafter, he made me fill out an accident report and was told they would file an accident claim with my insurance provider. I asked how does he know for sure, as it could have been there before we got the car. But his response was all cars are thoroughly inspected upon previous return and ready for the next person to use. I also asked why the car was so dirty and he replied that they can't wash every car that goes out, especially if it rains. Being that the car was so dirty, it was highly difficult to see the windshield glass through the mud stains from the dirt and rain. The location where the cars are parked is in the open lot behind the service center, so anything is possible for debris or flying objects to pop in the area.

      Tl;dr: **************** and apparently unwilling to fix damage that they've caused to customers' vehicles.I took my car in for a safety inspection, and I needed my rear tint removed in order to pass, so the shop attempted to remove it. After 7-8 hours, they finally returned my car to me, but the tint wasn't fully removed. There's still a thin film of tint left on the windshield, which has made it unsafe for me to drive the car, especially in rainy weather.I took my car to a nearby tint shop to fix ***** error, and his assessment was that someone inexperienced with tint tried removing my tint. The shop owner then let me know that he would have to damage my rear defrosters in order to scrape the rest of the tint off, since the remaining layer is so thin. Rather than shelling out another $150 to have my windshield properly tinted and settling for damaged defrosters, I decided to try going back to the dealership to get some assistance.I spoke with ******* (from the *** dealership) and let him know that I paid full price, but received a half job, so I wanted help with sorting out the damage. He let me know that he would speak with the manager, who had left for the day, and that he would get back to me. I called back the following afternoon to check up on things, and ******* let me know thay he spoke with the manager and should have an answer soon. A couple of weeks later, I still haven't received any follow *****
