GBW Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hey all. Let me explain this RANT. I got to the Whitby GO station a bit late this morning so I just backed into the first spot I found (on the 2nd level ramp of the new garage). When I got out of the car I didn't notice that the passenger side wheels were on the line (due to me running to my train as I did not want to miss my train). So I get back to the lot after work and walk up to my car to see it's been keyed, BAD! I don't have anything great but I DO take very good care of my 2006 Subaru. Needless to say I AM LIVID when I see this. My driver side door is toast and so is the hood. This 'person' decided to stick it so had it's down to the metal! What makes a 'person' think that an action like this is okay? Did it make them walk an extra 6 steps because of this? If so, sorry. How do I go about getting this fixed now and costing me as little to no money? I have reached out to the DRPS and I'm waiting to hear back there. I'm going to the "GO" office in the morning before I get on the train (Joe if I'm late this is why). Now, what do I do? I guess Karma messed this one up after what I did for a homeless guy on Friday so IT OWES ME! Does anyone here do body work (paint) on cars? Any TV Host's want to wrap a car with your show info? I have one for you... Now what can I do? I want to make sure this person pays for their actions. Thanks. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Make a police report and insurance claim. That is about all you can do. I would recommend a body shop, but it is in Grimsby which is a bit far. I sympathise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 ask the go people if they have camera surveillance in the parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 ask the go people if they have camera surveillance in the parking? I will be at the crack of dawn tomorrow. I see what looks like cameras all over the garage but who knows how many work (if any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozen-fire Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Sorry to hear about that Geoff. As mentioned, contact your insurance and make a claim after reporting it to the police. Chances are, you'll end up paying your deductible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well I have a case # now with the police and I am waiting to hear back from the GO Safety & Security people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have my case #'s now from both DRPS and GO. Called a body shop that I have seen some great work come out of there and an over the phone estimate is $2,000.00 after taxes but may be more. My Ins. company isn't going to provide me a loaner/rental car for the week it will be in the shop either! Can someone please loan me a car for a week? I'll drive Dave's F0F truck around all week if he'll let me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Okay, who ever said good customer service was dead is wrong. I decided to call the dealer where I purchased my car from (Markham Subaru) to see if they could help me out, considering I have been a loyal customer for them. I told the service manager what happened and they are going to help me out and provide me a loaner/rental car for the week for free. The part that still irks me is that even if my Ins. company does catch this person and get's money back, I bet I won't get my $500.00 back. *EDIT* Oh anb Dave, I'll still keep the offer open for me to use the FOF truck if you want...

GBW Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 I got my car back on the weekend and it's as good as new. My Subaru dealer brought my car over to K C Auto Services in Markham and those guys did a fine job. They even have a few Lexus' that looked brand new there getting work done.

BillM Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Exactly what insurance is for. As for the deductible think of it as a very expensive parking lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
