I will be scheduling an oil change within the next few weeks. This is when I am going to take my Mustang in for Ford Service to look at the seam damage. I am very afraid that Ford will tell me that the damage is VERY COMMON and that it's NORMAL to have this type of thing happen to all cars and that I will have TO LIVE WITH IT. I also don't want ford Service to blame me and tell me that I did the damage. I didn't do it. Wouldn't you think that Ford Service will know when they see the damage that it was done on a lift? I don't want to have to hear all this BS from Ford Service.
I never thought of going to a private shop. I am not sure whether Ford service will allow me to go to a private shop and to have a private shop fix this type of damage. Can Ford deny and tell me that I cannot go to a private shop?
Also, to be able to fix this type of damage, will they have to tear apart the entire undercarraige of the car? I am afraid that if they have to do a teardown that the car will not be the same when I get it back. I am very concerned about things not being properly installed back the way they were that were taken apart under the car. I don't have the time to keep bringing my car back to the shop because of poor workmanship. I don't want to experience this nightmare. I beleive that the repairs and work must be done right the first time around.
