monugs Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Today, after almost a month of waiting, I pick up my car. However, I suppose it is best to start this story at the beginning. The weekend before Christmas I went to visit a friend in Baltimore, MD. Only an 1.5 hours away from my home in Philly, I expected a two day trip. Long story short, my friend and I were driving to his house after a night in town. About three miles from his exit, there were several police that had the freeway shut down. This forced us to an exit where I proceeded to slide laterally on black ice into a concrete highway barrier. Expecting the worse, I pulled over and expected the damage. Much to my surprise, and delight, there was no body damage. However, I had a cracked rim and my alignment was totally whacked. I drove the car the final mile to his house and let it sit. The next morning I took the car to Valley Motors Subaru on York Road in Cockeysville, MD. The diagnosis was a bent control arm, cracked wheel bearing, and new rim and tire to the tune of $1500. Right before New Years the dealership calls to tell me they completed the work, but found further damage. This time its a new rim on the rear as well as strut damage front and rear, another $1500. When those parts came in, they were wrong and I had to cancel three flights back to Baltimore waiting for the right ones. Now I sit in the airport getting ready to board a plane to Baltimore, and the damn dealership won't even pick me up from the airport. Gotta board now, but I'll let you know how things go at the dealership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray1967 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Wow, that stinks. You'd think they could send a car for you, given all the money you're spending at the repair department..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflystyle Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I hope everything goes well and just reading that made me cringe. I hope everything works out for you, but it sucks when your car is not even in the same city as you. I never liked Baltimore outside of the Inner Harbor area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
