That is awful! Did the car wash people
not know that your tires were too wide for
the track, or are they just not very
bright?

omg... Dani they should have told you that
your truck wouldn't fit!! there are
supposed to be people to guide you onto
it. they should have seen your tires were
too big.
And guys.. usually those places have big
signs that say they aren't responsible to
damages to your vehicle during washing.
i dunno if this could be fought tho since
they should have told you not to go thru.

the carwash ppl were rather stupid and
rude. I filed with them and my insurance
and now i have to wait til my insurance
calls and tells me where to go to get the
damage assessed. The carwas h lady was
like didnt u read the signs they tell you
some cars are to big. i was like ok first
who knows the exact dimensions of their
vehicle? and all it said was height not
width. i didnt think my car was THAT big,
its smaller than like a suburban.
and thanks marfa, i love my car! its
wonderful until this happened.

that
if they had no signs saying the width of
the car would be too big then they have to
pay

they still should have had somebody there
guiding you... and if they did, and they
STILL told you to go ahead, thats THEIR
fault. IF not, then its still negligence
for not having people guide you.

i agree they should have A) either been
out there or seen me on the camera and
stopped me! or B) they should have signs
listing the car makes that dont fit!

wow, that sucks.
i have an embarrassing car wash story... i
hit a car in the
car wash! i was like 16 and it was my
first time driving into a car wash, they
never told me to put it in neutral. i knew
not to press the peddles but i was in
drive so i was rolling along quite nicely
without the gas. i did hit the brakes
(even though they did remember to tell me
"no braking") but not until i'd already
bumped them. when i came out the other
side there wasn't a car in sight, so i
left. a couple days later the police
called because apparently i'd left the
scene of an accident. so not only did i
hit a car in the car wash, it was also
labeled a hit and run! the other car had
gone back around to the entrance which was
behind the building. aside from crying at
the police station, i don't remember what
happened after that.

I am very sorry your car got damaged but i
will say that i worked at a car wash for 4
years (it was my first job) If you pulled
yourself on the conver belt without
someone being there it is your fault, We
had that happen and the guy actually had
to pay for the damage to the car wash
because of him not being patient and
waiting for an attendant to guide him on!

lol there was a car trying to come in and
i made my friend go tell them they couldnt
n she was like y? then it hit her that o
if that car goes thru its gunna hit us!
shes not very smart.
Other dumb things shes said:
On the way to Jacksonville (north FL) we
passed a boat that said key west n shes
said " o i bet they are going all the way
to Key West"
I have my car payment thru Fl choice bank
and i was like i dunno what im gunna do
when i move cuz i hate mailing checks n
she said "they dont have FL choice banks
up there?"

to add to it the tow truck guy made it go
to far over the track causing damage to
the other side as well.
