I should probably also explain that I'm a vehicle paint sprayer of 36 years experience , independent and Mercedes Benz . Left the trade 6 years ago to paint Eurofighter Typhoons for the RAF . I can repair this myself no bother , but I'd prefer Tesco to pay for it, plus the facility I work in and equipment isn't the best for painting cars .
Yeah Tesco will never accept liability but keep on them and you may get a 'goodwill gesture' which may cover it
I'd send an email to the boss of Tesco UK and argue that the trolley collector was negligent in doing his job! If he had collected it as he should it wouldn't have happened. Upload to Youtube and send the boss the video link.View attachment 199291 Gutted , my S3 passenger front door has been damaged by a runaway trolley in Tesco ! Got the whole thing on dashcam as I was inside shopping for one item ! . Annoying thing is the trolley collection guy walked right past the offending trolley around 15 seconds before it came away from the wall and down the slope into my door . There were 3 trolleys there , he took one leaving the other 2 . Contacted Tesco , who appointed an accident management company , but they've rejected it claiming they had taken all the necessary precautions to prevent it . Can't say I agree , firstly if trolleys had the coin or token system you'd get people returning them , if they had a brake on one castor the trolley man could apply it if he couldn't collect it at that time , barrier or curb in place so it couldn't roll straight across the road through the car park . If I could share the video you'd see what I mean , I even parked out the way of other cars , if I hadn't it would never have hit my car .
I think that's probably right.You can try badgering Tesco, however, looking at the video, I don’t think you’ll get much joy.![]()
Video loaded to YouTube , watch from 1 minute in . Opinions be great , am I justified in persuing this ? Kind of seems less important this week with everything that's going on , as annoying as it is .
^^^THIS^^^ if he had done his job properly it wouldn't have happened.Yeah, badger Tescos' top guys, employee clearly walked passed the offending trolley and was hardly over burdened with what he collected.
Shame you couldn't have contacted the owners of any other vehicles the trolley went on to hit and formed a combined complaint.
