I think it might be time to have the dealer "fix" your damage and find a new dealer/repair place.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I take my car to the dealer for checkup and get home. Rear trunk lid has slight dent and front lid has been spiked from underneath with must have been the disconnected battery cable. Anyone else have any experience with this or my bad luck. Bikini :ah: whoa is me

POST 2Original post

I had some scary moments early on when detailing the car and leaning on rear quarter sections. As in "pop" and "unpop" (whew!) Sounds like the dealer is in big trouble on this one, though.

POST 3Original post

Is this a 'real" Porsche delaership? My dealer's service dept. has various covers for the body (avoids scratches) and treats every car like it is their own -- with tender loving care. I think it might be time to have the dealer "fix" your damage and find a new dealer/repair place. Also, I would recommend contacting Porsche North America and register a complaint.
