Stupid seat garage!!

More than likely not as they only damaged the bumper, shame about the damage but they will only replace a part they damage, if it doesn't match they will have to sort it one way or another as it was left with them undamaged
They would be obliged to match it in i guess. They probably wouldn't pay for a full car respray though, more like a heavy polish up so you don't notice... Make sure you take a bloody good look before driving off when you collect it! My garage whacked my door, destroyed the paintwork on the edge of the drivers door, about 5cm long 2cm wide, managed to cover it up though and wax it etc so i didnt notice until what must be 2 months down the line, now its flaking and i may have to pay for a full door respray... Gonna have a go at pulling it all off and see whats underneath first though!

And the other thing is I bet it will take a week just to get a new bumper then another week to get it sprayed!!
I miss my car already! This poxy little 1.4 FR just isn't doing it for me!
I told them to keep the old bumper so I can see the damage when I go up there tomorrow. If its not too bad then a red K1 bumper may be passing through the bay

Hatfield SEAT. Also want them to keep the bumper so I can see exactly where the damage is. Make sure it was the ramp and not someone going for a "test drive"

at least they told you...till you realised a few days later then tried to take it back and they denied all knowledge. Which is what usually happens!!
Well I know it's not a nice thing to happen to your car as I would be gutted too.
But the garage has been up front and honest with you which means a lot.
The garage is supposed to road test your car as part of work they carry out.
Let's face it the amount of cars going through garages on a daily basis one or two get marked once in a while you just wonder why it's always yours.
The garage could of tried to get out of it with a smart repair and not say anything but they didn't.
I'm sure your car will come back repaired and looking as it should.
Good luck.

That's a good point about them telling me guys, they could of just tried it on! Looking on the bright side, my bumper did have a few stone chips that I hadn't got round to touching in!
Also when I bought the car, in my naivity, I got it supagaurded. I should get them to do that to the bumper right? As they probably won't if I don't tell them
I take it you live in Hatfield then? I'm borehamwood

Im in welwyn garden city.
is there a reason you use SEAT dealership to do your service?,
i personally would'nt use a dealership for servicing,would rather leave it in the hands of a garage i trust,same goes for warranty work,depending on the problem i'd rather buy a new part rather than the dealer fit a 'reconditioned part' as they usually do under warranty

My local garage scratched the windscreen to bits....obviously using the polish valeting guys who dropped the sponge on the floor then promptly used grit to clean the glass! After the garage trying to say it was from road salt they eventually replaced the whole screen when I threw up a fuss.
I'm sure you will get your bumper replaced and spray matched but I doubt you will get a full respray. Hope you get it sorted though!

In theory it helps with goodwill if required outside the warranty period.
That theory doesn't work either as I couldn't get a warranty repair done on my 20 month old R with 9000 miles on it.
Hence why my next car WON'T be a Seat.
