When I had my stereo installed locally,they used screwdrivers to "pry" the dash apart to remove the various panels to remove the stock radio and installed a double din unit! They will not replace the panels, I priced them out at $600.00 range for panels. Is there any one or place that has a written off unit that will sell me what I need? I am in Alberta Canada.
Thanks

Who'd you have it done by? What company? Take pictures, take the car back to the company, demand manager support to fix or repair. In no way should a company do that with your panels, everyone knows to wrap a screwdriver in cloth if you have to do that. If the scratches are obviously placed from the steps taken to remove the radio and replace it, make sure they repair it, report to the BBB, or any authority that deals with that. If nothing, talk to the head or big boss of the company itself and send them pictures.

The install was done in Fort Mac by the only shop here. I have spoken to the manager with no results,I don't believe the BBB can do anything except have theire name in system if people ask BBB about them before getting work done. They have no power to make things happen. However it is an idea to talk with the BBB.

Depending on who you talk to, the BBB will warn the company that their name is going up there, unless they fix the issue. Also, some news companies will do helpful antics to get the company out of customers. Here it's called "Channel 7 On Your Side" they basicaly interview the bad doers to make them feel like criminals, and make a them lose a lot of business.

Don't businesses pay a yearly fee to become a BBB member? Don't think BBB will do anything unless you are. Correct me if I'm wrong...

BBB offers a few services, there are definitly stores on the BB that are not members of it, and have trashy "F" ratings.

Don't worry, I see what you're talking about. You can make all those scratches stand out even more by cleaning or armor-all'ing the spot where it's messed up so they're shiney, then take a picture, and the damage will really show up on photo.
