I will get by….I will survive -Touch of Grey LC200
I know some of you take the flares off and patch the holes....not interested in doing that.
So just had an experience at Zips Car Wash in my 80. Went in, heard a loud bang, and it ripped my front drivers side fender flare off. Pulled it off and broke 2-3 clips. I didn't even notice it until I got out to vacuum and a lady said that it was damaged. So...awesome. I spoke to the manager and he told me there was nothing they could do because my vehicle was over 10 years old. He said it might have been broken already....to which I said 'When I drove in here my flare obviously wasn't hanging off the side of my car and now it is broken'.
I asked to speak to the owner and was told they are corporate...so when I got home I emailed them as they are closed today. He asked if I wanted to fill out an incident report and my response was 'what does it matter if you aren't going to cover it?'.
I doubt they will do anything. So they just lost 3 cars getting washed there a month...and I am sure they don't care. Just giving others a heads up in case they weren't aware of the '10 year rule'.
The pic doesn't show all of the craziness....the flare comes detached until about 12 o'clock on the fender well.
Boooo.
