Damage to vehicle, refusal to pay for damage!
Complaint Rating:  50 % with 6 votes
Company information:
Mike's Car Wash
Lima Road
Fort Wayne, Indiana
United States

We used to be a loyal customer to Mike's Car Wash until 2months ago when Mike's car wash machine ripped the gas door off of our Volvo. 2 months later, we are still trying to get repairs completed satisfactorily. Mike's did send us to a repair shop and agreed to pay for damages. Although the fuel door has been replaced, it no longer locks. Mike's refuses to pay to satisfactorily repair the vehicle to its pre-loss state. It's amazing that they seemingly wanted to "make it right" and then stop full short of actually achieving the goal. They do not feel it is their responsibility.

It's infuriating! Now we are stuck with a $180 bill from a $15 car wash. Please tell everyone NOT to patronize Mike's Car Wash--- Don't visit Mike's Car Wash, or if you do---it's at your car's own peril!

Depending on how your state's consumer laws are constructed, you can take this to either a magistrate or small claims court. Most car wash owners and dry cleaner operators think that they are off the hook if they post disclaimers in their places of business stating that they "are not responsible for damages". WRONG! In most states with good consumer protection laws, it doesn't matter one bit what the signs in the shop say ---- what matters is what the laws say. Unless you live in a state that for some bizarre reason doesn't care about the votes of its consumers, your car wash owner is obligated to make you "whole", which means he has to pay to restore the vehicle to its pre-damaged condition.

It sounds to me like you have an issue with the repair shop, not the car wash. If the car wash paid to get the door replaced isn't it the repair shops obligation to make it work correctly? Just because it was the car wash that broke the door doesn't mean it was the reason it wasn't fixed right. Accidents happen at both the car washes and repair shops. Don't tell people not to patronize a business because of an error on another business' part.
