Hood dented after oil change
Written by CM on 02/16/2024
My wife brought our 2023 Audi A5 to FJ Audi service for an oil change on 1/26/24. I picked up the car the afternoon of 1/29/24. At the time of the pick up, the service advisor and I sat inside the car trying to reprogram both keys. He did not ask me to do an inspection of my car and I promptly left shortly after. Once I got home, I noticed there are two dents on the hood which were never there before. I immediately texted my service advisor and sent him pictures of those dents. I brought the car back to FJ at 8:35am the very next morning on 1/30/24. I met with both the SA and the Service Manager, Andrew Rajchel at that time to discuss a path forward. I informed them that the car is meticulous taken care off as the hood has a full XPEL PPF with ceramic coating. In addition, neither my wife or I recall any rocks hitting the hood. As you know, the PPF is designed to protect the surface from gravel/rocks and prevent paint chipping. It would have protected the hood if a rock/gravel would have hit the hood. By the shape of the dents, it appears to me that certain tools may have impacted the hood as both dents are parallel to each other with one having a round impact point. On 2/2/24, Andrew phoned and informed me that the dents were already present when the car was dropped off. A grainy photo was sent to me with 2 spots circled representing the "dents". FJ's photo is inconclusive at best since the car was full of salt and the picture quality is grainy. Anyone could have circled any of the spots on the car and claim it is a dent since they all looked the same. I was advised to file an insurance claim to get it fixed. I emailed the General Manager of Fletcher Jones, Dan Flood on 2/2/24 informing him of this situation and he replied on 2/5/24 stating that he "apologizes for the issues you are having but we will not be paying to repair any damages on the hood." I have taken the vehicle to 2 auto body shops and a Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) person and all three indicated that it is not possible a kicked up rock could have caused the dents. The shape of the dents were from some sort of heavy impact which caused damage to the hood. My car went to FJ Audi for a simple oil change and came out with 2 ugly dents on the hood. FJ did not take any responsibility whatsoever. I will never bring my business to FJ Audi ever again as I have informed the General Manager. They have lost me a customer for life.
