I drop off my car last Monday and an Enterprise guy is there waiting for me to give me a car for the week. We go through the normal paperwork, then we go outside, he "inspects" the car to make sure nothing is damaged and then asks me to sign the papers, saying I agree with his inspection (he said the car was 100% fine after his 2-second once-over). So I take a look around and see that one of the fog light coverings is completely shattered, and I tell him to make sure to write that down before I sign anything.

Anyway, I went to pick up my car at the shop on Friday, and dropped off the rental. The body shop guys take the keys, I drive my car home, everything is cool. The car is 100% fine when I drop it off.

Today I get a call from one of the Enterprise guys saying one of the outer mirror housings is cracked, asks me if I know about it... I reply, I have no idea what he's talking about and the car was fine when I dropped it off and gave the keys to the body shop (this body shop is a very well run business, not a random hole in the wall)... anyway, he says he just has to note it, and if they decide to repair, they will contact me in a couple days...

So there's no way I'm paying for anything on the damn car, because it was fine when I dropped it off. I'm also not sure why they call me 3 days later telling me, seeing as they are open 7 days a week.

So... I suppose there's no real point to this post, other than me venting. I'm pissed because if I hadn't noticed that fog light before they gave me the car, they would probably try to charge me for that shit too - I'm just wondering if this mirror is something I didn't notice... Do you guys think they will try to hold me responsible for the damage (from what it sounds like, its just a cracked piece of plastic and pretty minor)?
