I finally got my car back

Ok so my car has been at the dealer for the past 2 weeks to fix the damage that was done when the car was broken into and the damage that was further made when the insurance company "made" us go to this ghetto shop in Houston. They couldn't do any work on the car except the pedal shave and reshape floor recall until they got ALL the parts in which was Wednesday. So I look at the car when they drove it up and I quickly looked and saw that everything is fine and drove out of the service area. It was raining a little so I couldn't really look carefully at all parts of the car until just now when I got home where its completely sunny and the car is dry. I've noticed that they washed the car which I wish they didn't because they most likely put A LOT of swirls in the clear coat....lets hope they didn't and they quickly vacuumed the interior and nicely shined up my tires. But then as I was taking pictures in the driveway for all of you guys to see what was done, I noticed a nick in the paint and quickly bent down to see if it was wax or something, but then realized that its a DOOR DING! and then on further inspection, there is another little one underneath that one too so now I have to go back and tell them to fix it right now
they are fixing the door dings and the paint. I will post the papers, the estimates and such.

EDIT: Add pictures of before and after for this whole stupid experience


Before


After


Before


After


whole door after and the door lock/window switch cover was replaced


Before (there was more scratches and scuffs but that one was the biggest)


After (will take off plastic later )


no before pic sorry but there were some scuffs and scratches on it that made it look ugly


After: new dashboard and right air vent


new seat covers for the seat bottom and back (no before shot of the rip in the fabric)


there is another one lower but its too small for my camera to pick up




its wavy
Door Ding


never has it once gone up that high
Shiny Tires lol

Just got a call back from my service advisor because both me and my mom were like WTF?! you know? and he says "don't worry we will fix it, just bring it back on Monday when the dent specialist is here" and they better repaint that door too!

Wow...your window got trashed pretty good. Sucks. Hopefully the dealer takes care of the problems and you get your ride back soon.

Guys I do have the car right now and on Monday I need to bring the car back to the dealer so that they can fix all the dings up and the paint too. I really missed my car but now I miss all the power I had when I was driving the 4runner for 2 weeks.

And I think how he was talking about how the dealership washed his car, not the thieves lmao.
