So I've had my car for a week now and I just noticed there are two scratches/scuffs on my front drivers side rim. I called my salesman and he said to bring it in and "they'll see what they can do." Has anyone had any experience noticing scratches after already purchasing the car?

Re: scuffed rim (jr05gti)
Nearly every dealer has an outside guy that comes in and does repair work on wheels and a lot of the time does dent removal and leather repair etc...
I'd assume you'd be paying for it unless you purchased some kind of wheel protection plan.
You can just call the wheel guy directly, it's usually about 100 a wheel. Huf's usually can't be repaired so easily...
PS all my info was based on you doing the damage but if you say it was already there then well you may have some recourse. It will depend on your dealer.

I know for a fact I didn't do it. I did get the rim/tire protection plan, but hopefully the dealer will just take car of it. This is the second car I've bought from them so hopefully they will help, hopefully. Here's a pic...

...visions, not huffs, btw.

I say look at it closely, it may come out with some light steelwool and wheel polish but hey if VW will take care of it for you, might aswell

| Wheel/tire protection plans don't cover scuffs/curbing. They only cover cracks/complete failures to the wheel or tire. |
