Default I got a problem....

I let my sister drive my A4Q yesterday and I heard it slipping, so I looked out my window, and she slammed the rear passenger wheel into a curb. Now when I drive it it makes a whurrring noise that sounds as though it is comming from the front of the car. Not to mention the huge gouge in my wheel. My car is under warranty, however is this covered? Any ideas on what this could be and/or how much it could cost to fix- if not under warranty?

THanks
Justin

Accidents are not under warranty. Got insurance?

Default this is the exact reason why service mgr and techs aren't cool anymore.....

My dealership used to be cool with modded cars, until a few a$$holes tried to blame crap on them. Dont blame stuff on the dealer if it's your fault. It ruins it for the rest of us.

Default They're jerks anyway, and it's not like I've screwed them over before...

It's like insurance. Rates go up regardless, so you might as well screw them when you get a chance.

Default Don't give the rest of us a bad rap

Take this up with your sister or your insurance, but leave the dealers out of it. They don't need to think we're all scrounging for a few bucks by bringing them stories like this. Let insurance cover accidents, and dealers cover warranty issues.
