Hi all -

Excited to join the community, but sad to say that my new-to-me 2018 SCREW was damaged by an auto transport company shipping it to me in Colorado.

Damage is moderate - the trucking company clipped a tree with the roof of my truck (was on top level), requiring a new roof, sunroof, and windshield.

Trucking company is trying to do everything to get out of it - including telling me I’m lucky that I spotted it, or they would have taken it to a chop shop to do a hack job before delivering it to me :(

I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation. Also, did you pursue diminished value?

TIA!

Damn. I would call your insurance company and ask how to proceed. They can fix it up nice and go after the transporter.

What a bunch of lowlifes to say that to you. As @GCATX said call your insurance company first. Second, keep blasting the internet about this pond scum transport company. 3rd, don't worry, it can be repaired. 4, we need pictures of the damage please.
