Re: Small Ding to Interior by Dealer Service Department-- Thoughts?
Your story is exactly why I am concerned about trading in my "well used" 1999 with 118,000 miles. When I first got her, I was so concerned with where I parked, every blemis and swirl mark. Now after 11 years together (I bought her on '02 with 20k miles) we have been though a lot. She was stolen by bank robbers in '04 and has spent most of her life without a garage over her top, but is still my daily driver. She has numerous scratches and dings that would drive me nuts if she was new, but they're simply badges of honor today. I recall Chris in NH's remark about the inability to enjoy an unsharpened pencil and tell myself that everytime I see a new blemish.

That said, you brought the car in with a pristine air-bag tag and should expect the same when the job is done. If it bugs you, they should make you a satidsfied customer.
