Default Curb rash on wheel after leaving the dealership?

So I took my car in for the complementary 10 K service and also had the alignment done because the car was pulling to the right drove home on the interstate and noticed today that my passenger rim has about a 3 inch curb rash on it ... Is there anything I can do?

Not much since you left the dealership. You can ask your service rep. But always do the walk around check list before and after you get you ride before leaving. It's the only way to say 100% on them for the damage.

Don't sweat it. Even if the delaership doesn't pay for the repair I have had my lexus dealer do this type of repair and lt was less than $80 for a wheel. If nothing else, see if they will split the cost with you. Save the favors for the big stuff.

Doesn't seem that bad, but since you noticed it after you left the dealership I doubt they will take responsibility for the damage. Doesn't hurt to try tho

Ouch. Good luck I just got my car back from the dealership to and realized my license plate was bent I guess it could always be worse.
