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.

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

Outcome without a verified action link
I expect you paid them plenty over the standard price to get it fixed seeing as it's a Porsche.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well after a great job of getting the part and fixing the car (see 'Car won't start' post), I get it home and notice damage to the passenger door interior [ ] See pic .... Mark

POST 2Original post

Easy to do getting the seat in and out... They really should know this and be careful...[&o] Yes - Complain! <Edit for spelling (seat, not set...[8|])>

POST 3Original post

Why are you asking? Of course. It's completely unacceptable. I expect you paid them plenty over the standard price to get it fixed seeing as it's a Porsche. Why do you think you should just accept someone damging your car? Might be a little strong but had my car seriously damaged when being fixed by a so called Porsche specialist - Solus in West London.

POST 4Original post

I would even if you did not pay for the car to be fixed they should still be carefull, everytime you get in the car that will annoy you, would me anyway. Phil

POST 5Original post

No shadow of a doubt - COMPLAIN. You definitely don't have to accept the fact that they've damaged your car. Good luck with it. Steve

POST 6Original post

Yes do it now the longer you leave it the less chance you have of them fixing the problem, Talk to them dont rant and rave chances are that they dont know its damaged, some young spanner monkey will have damaged it and said nothing. www.porschesport.com

POST 7Original post

Of course you should complain. My car came back with a chipped windscreen, the idiot who test drove it after replacing the clutch obviously tail-gated the car in front. I'm kicking myself for not complaining.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Yes I did complain, and at first the comment came back "we noticed this before starting the work", I did challenge this and strange enough I had the an email whilst away this weekend stating that they would pay for the repair. The reason I asked, because a breakdown recovery company had been involved and I wasn't to sure as you can get into those arguments of well it wasn't me !! Anyway, thanks for the feedback, as it will be rectified. Mark
