A small ding today at Walmart - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ClarityCamaro · 12-01-2014, 12:21 AM

Left the parking lot of walmart and looks like someone backed into my car. What is the best option for this? A small part of my paint was removed and it looks like there are small fractions of cracks as well around it. Will this spread? Sorry if this is the wrong part of the forums. Thanks in advance

Yea i hate that lol when i bought my camaro i took my kids to a very nice subdivision park where iam not from so nobuddy knows me and i parked it next to a benz and a BMW 7 series and my car is the only one who gets keyed $600 later it looks like new.

Probably won't grow too much unless pushed on or hit again.

That bumper can be repaired, but not very cheaply. Probably no less than $500 for repair and repaint.

that sucks! yea some touch up paint will make it less noticeable..but i am guessing a couple hundred for repair and respray to mend it 100%

Yep, it happend 3 days after i bought the car too so i was heated the $600 could have gone towards performance parts. i dont park my camaro now unless i have eyeview of it at all times.

You're asking for dings if you go to Walmart.

Why would anyone take a nice vehicle to... ugh... Walmart? "The People of Walmart" videos are not made up. They're for real.

Resist the urge to rip off the arm they're keying my car with and beating them with it. Then I'd film/video them from a distance, follow them to their car, get the license number and then promptly call the police and have them arrested.

They really *are*! I thought it was made up too, but I live in a pretty nice place in the bay area and I saw one of them at *my* walmart. I was like "WTH"??

I won't set foot in RipOffMart... inferior product. It is sad that the "poor people" are abused by big business like that. Same brands and same product descriptions... but made on the "Walmart assembly line" with zero quality control and lower quality ingredients and parts in order to hit the Walmart price line (I know, I ran QA for a Fortune 500 company - it's sad but true). It's also a magnet for the "The People of Walmart" that apparently are in every community, but you only seem them crawling out to go to a WallyWorld store. Don't catch anything.

Does anyone really expect their nice car to be safe in that environment?
