Rip,
Most of us know how you feel since we have been there before. Whether this happened to our Sols or other cars we’ve owned it kinda gives us a feeling of ‘can I ever trust anyone again??’. We all know our Sols very well from top to bottom. Each of us can pinpoint any imperfections or damage of any kind since we are so sensitive in taking great care babying our Sols. We truly do love them.
My 2 cents: The very first time I went to the dealership to pick up my Sol (my Sol had just arrived at the shop 2 hours prior) I met with the owner of the dealership, the service manager, and the mechanic who just trained on the Sol. Each time I went there with any concern or problem, I stayed and watched them do the work. I guess I am fortunate that I can take time off from work to do this but, short of watching every step that the shop takes, you are at their mercy.
Many of us have learned lessons from your experience, from you, our brother and sister members of our Forum. From your last post, it sounds like you (and your Sol) are on the road to recovery. I hope that the repairs are done to your satisfaction and you can, once again, feel great about owning one of these special cars.
