Hey there,

It seems that almost every time I get some work done to my car, that the car comes back to me in a worse (cosmetic) state than I left it.

Recently, I got my Aventador wrapped. Stupidly I didn’t take a walk around or take pictures when I dropped it off. However, I’ve noticed:

1) A slight chip on one of the removable roof panels
2) Some damage to the leather on the seat (this definitely looks ‘fresh’)
3) A tiny dent on the passenger side door

All of these, I hadn’t ever noticed before (I would have definitely noticed the leather) and just annoyed. This has happened to many cars over the years. Frustrating as one can take care of a car so well but others when paid to do so - don’t treat it as well. I’m not skimping on quality to save cost here either... I think.

What do you guys do when you drop the car off to get some work done to it? Take pictures? A walk-around and agree the things which are damaged?
