Driver side pillar (PICKS INCLUDED)
Hi all.
Any suggestions on how to repair this little problem. Not sure how it even got there. It's on the driver side and it's a fine line almost looks like something might have scraped it.

About 2 weeks ago I got my car towed because I was parked in front of a business for literally 5
minutes. I was very frustrated with both the person that called the tow truck and the idiot that towed
my car. They ended up scraping the entire bottom front bumper of the car since I was parked
reversed. Do you think that scrape on the pillar could be from the tow guy trying to pry open the door
and causing that?
Thanks for your responses.

Its possible! But it looks like an amateur thief maybe a coat hanger was used. A tow truck driver usually have door opening tools like an airbag wedge and their tools most likely coated so they do not scratch.
But you never know the tow truck driver may have open the door to put the car into neutral to pull it out. You dont need a key to put the car into neutral

I highly doubt it was the tow truck driver, unless he was a complete idiot. The car's alarm would go ablaze if you opened the door prying it THAT way.
On another note, Isn't it against the law, even for a TOW TRUCK COMPANY, to pertain damage to your vehicle in the midst of impounding it?
I honestly wonder why they would call...... For my situation, I use to call the tow truck company because the company next to our family owned business refused to SHARE the rent on the parking lot section. We tried compromising with management there and they just didn't care, so as a rebuttal, we forewarned all of their customers of our cause (why do we have to pay 100% of the parking lot while they get it for FREE), and pursued to tow the vehicles that didn't care what we did.

receipt it indicates that they are not reliable for any damages occurred to the vehicle . It almost
makes me think that these guys can damage the heck out of a persons car and say sorry we are
not liable; Just doesn't make sense.

Whether it is or not. You did not consent to have your car towed by them, there should be a law against this. They're throwing that out there for liability reasons, but for cars they tow.
At the end of the day, i'd seek a lawyer and throw out a small claims court case and see where u can go with that.
Here you go brother, SAME situation:

P.S. I came back thinking about if this happened to my car, i'd be soo heated......
You should ask them, "How would you like it if I came up to your yard, and took a baseball bat to your tow truck, and threw that piece of paper at you?"
Complete and utter BS.

My mother's Honda van has a SLIGHT nudge, exposing the metal. It turns out they're actually vinyl.... I'm sure your's is paint though. You COULD always go buy black vinyl and vinyl over it too, that's not too bad of an idea IMO.

Might sound crazy but I was thinking of going over it with a black permanent maker since it's such a small fine line.
