Auto Insurance Claims: Bumpers paint chipped off, question pool, typical machine


Question
Hi, I recently took my car to get it washed at a car wash that uses the typical machine that pushes your car through, and when I arrived to my house I saw that the paint of most of my front bumper had been chipped off and the bumper was fine before washing it. They do have signs that say enter at own risk. Can this be claimed on my insurance?

Answer
Hi,

I picked this up from the question pool and it was not sent directly to me.

You can turn a claim in but by the time you are done it is going to cost more than it is worth. Was it a used car? Did anyone do any paint work to it that you know of? It sounds like the paint did not have the proper flex additive. You could complain to the car wash. If new, this should be covered under warranty.
