Sounds good. Seems like the general consensus is to have the dealership fix it now than later down the line. I will be contacting their service manager right away.
Yeah, I won’t be repainting the door. A bubble bursting during the painting process sounds very possible too as it looks too round, which is why I assumed it was a defect rather than damage.
Thanks for the advice! Do you think it would be worth it to get the door repainted? The missing chunk is only about 3-4mm in diameter and is in a pretty inconspicuous location.
I know I said paint mismatches don’t really bother me, but thinking about it now, a difference between door panels...
Honestly, you’re totally right. I was going to keep this car stored in the garage every winter as well, but I’ll probably pick up a new set of wheels and tires for the snow now!
This car was a display model that had 44km on it when I bought it, so I guess it must’ve gotten damaged somehow with all the customers checking it out and stuff. Wish I caught it before purchasing, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the car.
Not flaky on the inside, so it could be touch-up paint. I’ve decided to just live with it. The dealership sent pictures to Acura Canada, so they have my file in case it starts corroding from this area.
There was another paint defect on a flared fender on the same side, which they definitely...
I’m down, whenever I get my car back! They’ve had it for almost three weeks now over some PPF and ceramic coating issues as well…
Did you get yours from Southview or West Side?
You’re totally right. Admittedly, the excitement got to me as I was given a 1-2 year wait time after I put in my reservation, so when they called two weeks after I jumped on it right away.
You aren’t the one that backed out from a deal with Southview Acura are you? Haha
Hoping to get a second opinion. I dropped my car off at the dealership last week and was told they were going to have an autobody technician come take a look. They are now telling me “the door will be left alone in the interest of corrosion protection and the appearance of the door paint.”...
