Had my leather dash replaced recently because of some dipshit glass installer scratched my leather dash while replacing my windshield. I even told this idiot to be careful because I have a leather dash... I swear, I just wish you could dock their pay for damages they cause due to stupidity and/or negligence. Hit them thru their paycheck and they will eventually learn to be careful when working with customer’s cars...
This was the damage the glass installer put on my OE leather dash...

I still don’t understand how someone can be that stupid and careless as to cause the damage then not even acknowledge they did this?! The glass shop who caused this (Altieri's Auto Inc at Johnstown, RI) did not even apologize for causing the damage (other than tell me they were going thru their insurance) so for those who live in Rhode Island or Massachusetts word of caution if you go thru these assclowns when getting a new windshield... The guy I talked to there acted like a complete asshat.
So this is my damaged OE leather dash after it was removed...

When I got my car back the collision center at my dealer left an unpleasant surprise... The collision center placed a several microfiber cloths over the seat covering these indentations. Pretty slimy if you ask me so they won't be doing any work on my cars going forward...

Needless to say...I was not happy to see this!! So instead of taking my car back (which I will be doing this afternoon) I dealt with restoring my passenger’s seat over the weekend...

I took my clothes steamer and applied steam/heat to the dented areas of my leather seat to work out those dents... took some time and patience but I got them worked out... then I applied lots of Leatherique to the leather.

Looks much better. I now have to get the dealer to reprogram my steering wheel module for multi-function steering wheel to get my horn to work again.
So anyway this has been a busy, and frustrating few weeks for my Speed Sled....
Took her out on an early morning drive and took these pictures using my iPhone...

It’s nice to drive my Speed Sled again...

Dang, Charlie. My car is going in for repair next Monday, and now you have me thinking I need to document the hell out of it prior to drop-off.
Always document when you are leaving with your car with someone! I've found a couple of fun artifacts in the past as well from dealers.Quote:

I don't let any Ultrasound machine leave our facility unless its perfect... even the old crappy machines.
I had pictures taken before I dropped my car off. I always document thru pictures, but then you know that...Quote:

Oh man Charlie that sucks! This is my biggest fear when taking my car anywhere. As someone who works in an industry that provides a service and not a product, I would be absolutely livid if someone did this to me and didn't even apologize. I can tell you're mad because I don't think I've ever seen you swear on the forums before lmao
Write a review for that shop and just spare anyone in the area from having to deal with them. That service is beyond unacceptable.
Take lots of pictures from every angle before dropping your car off. Be prepaired to call people on their shit if their work does not meet your expectations.Quote:

EDIT: I have already contacted the collision center and my service advisor this morning and explained to them my displeasure of these unnecessary surprises...

What a shitheads! Sorry to hear that Charlie!
Car looks even better after your work with dash and seat.
I actually had a bad experience with Satellite auto glass. They send joker to my house instead of professional guy. He showed talking with his friend on the cell phone and jump on my car without discuss all the fails with me. Also, he told me that he is not going to repair the damage, he was going to install a new windshield. I told him to leave, call the manager on duty and said that I no longer want to deal with them.
On the same day I realized that insurance is going to cover the hole replacement even if it's going to be done at dealership. So I made an appointment with BMW of Peobody, since they are closest, and change the windshield. My experience with them was pretty good.
