watch out for those mall car wash men...

i was at the villagio mall yesterday and noticed one of the car washmen standing on-top of the car he was washing with his shoes on... the owner probably thought he was getting a good deal because they are cheaper than the station car washes, but he  will discover that they will cost you more money when you take your car in to fix the dents caused by them... so pls be aware that this guys are not very good with your cars when you are not around... check the attachment for the picture i took of the guy....

...to decline their car wash offer, i have apprehensions about it before and now it gives me more reason not to let them do it in my car...i bet, the owner will not only deal with the dents but also of the scratches...it's bad.

I blew up the picture and he could be standing on a stepladder (the original picture will probably show it in greater detail). I assume they would have those for 4WD's to reach the roof.

If he IS on the car, he appears to be standing on a duster or something. Obviously that wouldn't stop the dents but it would stop scratching.

my suggestion.....may be one of them has done a mistake....but the rest are not.....these guys earn peanuts and do it for a living....

 

rather than publisizing the event and stopping their business , I would rather put the matter to the concerned... and let them take actions on the particular staff ...and be more careful next time...

if enought people complain it will help.

 

if they say it is not villagio, just tell them that our friend took the picture at villagio and that many people for QL now are watching out for this, and as mentioned above we will send it to the papers, or the police, if they don't put an end to it.

Better send it to the news papaer guys. There are few of them around here ;)

i would imagine that the best way of stopping this is for everyone who reads this thread to print the picture and complain to the main office at villagio.

 

if they get several complaints over the next few weeks i bet they'd be more careful.

I am not the most fastidious person about my car being clean... so most of the time it looks really dirty and dusty.... oneday I came down from apartment and saw footprints on my car..... I wanted to take a pic in case I needed it, but was in a hurry so forgot...

 

As luck would have it, it rained that morning and with my car parked at the office outside, it got wet and the footprints washed away...

 

When I went to have my car cleaned, the dents made from the footprints were clearly visible... It really made me angry.... now when the time comes for a technical inspection how will I explain these dents?
