Warning to all car owners : Jet Wash Damage - 7th Mar 2012 1:23pm
hi, i dont know if this is the correct section. I want to warn all car owners not to use the jet wash at the bp/snax24 petrol station. The reason being a 3pound wash i paid to wash my car has left it leaving a rather expensive total respray of my whole vehicle. I used there soft brush to give the car a good wash which transfered some sort of paint all over my car, i only noticed when i used the lance to jet the soap away that the brush had basically painted my car. I informed the cashier who claimed he was not the manager and kindly told me it was my fault and i hadnt cleaned the car properly. Eventually he came to look at the soft brush and the jet wash and agreed that the brush had infact transfered the paint to my car and assured me that the manager would be in touch with me in the morning to resolve the matter. The next day i had no phone call so i went down there to be told again by the same person that the manager wasnt in but again he would be intouch in the morning. The next day i got a phone call from the manager asking me to call down to resolve the matter, which i did. When i got there the same cashier then told me infact he was the manager and told me the equipment had been tested and there was no way that the paint came from there it must of been there before i cleaned my car? He then handed me a complaint form and said if am not happy fill it in. I emailed headoffice with photo evidence of the brush and the damage to be told by them that i used the jet wash at my own risk and i should claim of my insurance for a repaint of the car.
I never thought a £3 wash could cost me a respray but it looks like its going to. Its either that or my car stays full of paint that stands out a mile and will make it almost worthless to sell on.
I hope this stops others going through the same.
