so yesterday i got my car inspected...it passed...guy suggests that i get my windshield wipers replaced...i agreed since i hadn't had new windshield wipers since i owned the car (and who knows how long they were on it before that, it's a used car).

yesterday evening after i got home i notice a scratch on my windshield that was about the length of the wiper. today i got my car washed, and i guess what i originally thought was a scratch wasn't really a scratch cuz it came off when i cleaned the windows....well most of it came off :angry: there's still about a 3/4" long scratch (it's not very deep) that i'm 95% sure wasn't on the windshield before i took it in to the car place.

so, do i call back and complain? they probably won't believe me that it wasn't there before...i have no proof that it wasn't i guess. do i waste my time calling them and arguing with them? or is there some kind of glass polish that i can buy for an auto windshield to get rid of the scratch? i'd hate to have to spend my own money to get it fixed, but i don't see how i can prove it otherwise. if there's a relatively inexpensive glass polish, i guess i'd rather buy that than argue with someone at the car place who probably won't believe me anyway.

i know it's not a very big scratch, and it's not very deep...but that's not the point, the point is, it wasn't there before...i'm pretty sure i would have noticed if a 3/4" long scratch had been on my windshield before.

yeah, i'm mad :angry:

that sucks a bunch, speaking of windshields................... My car has 2 rock cracks in it, looks like 2 small rocks hit my windshield and guess what dad said he noticed it when we bought it but didnt say anything to the sales lady. :angry:
 
Complain ABEL.

Did you know even small scratches can weaken your windshield considerably and it is the windshield that gives most of the bodily protection to your car? A stone chip, or any substantial crack can mean the difference in your car being written off or having minor body damage in a smash.

Complain, and complain loudly.

But then I am in an exceptionally bad mood today and feel like complaining to everyone about everything.

:mad:

mechanics shit me.

I'd Complain.
 
When our car got hit by a stone there was a crack on our windscreen and my Dad got a man to come and fix it he used a thing called a resin injection and our insurance company paid for it I think it wasnt that expensive though.

so tonite when I got home from work, I turned off the engine of the car after I pulled in my parking spot...and studied the scratch on my windshield as I've been doing since Friday. I don't know what made me do this, but I reached up and touched the scratch from the inside of the windshield....and it came off :lmao: :uhoh: :silent: :eek:

all that work trying to wipe it off from the outside, I hadn't even thought that it might be on the inside :lol: :reject:
 
at least I didn't call them to complain :lol: :reject:




maybe I'll find me a man if I bend down and tie my shoes more often :flirt: :lol:
 
I go to the gas station and have my car inspected. It costs money,
but I don't have to deal with the idiots at the MV inspections.
I'm postive the main requirements to be an inspector is to see
how much of an <bleep bleep> idiot you can be.
"Oh you're paint has a 3/4 scratch. That might cause an obstruction to oncoming bugs on the road...gotta fail ya."
Kidding.....but not too far off from the thinking of your typical
Inspector at a MV place.
