I had a vehicle damaged by the dealer. They cracked the mirror cover and someone tried to fill the crack with touch-up paint. I picked it up earlier than originally expected. I noticed it and discovered the paint was wet.
I grabbed the service manager and had him look at it. He stated categorically that I brought it in damaged.
"You seem pretty damn sure of that, but you're wrong", I said.
"If it arrived in this condition 6 hours ago, why is this paint still wet"?
He checked the paint and swore under his breath. He apologized and we went to the parts department where he told them to order a new mirror cover.
Ever since that incident, I always insist that the service writer inspect the vehicle and note on the work order that there was no damage. When I pick it up, I do a thorough visual inspection before I leave. This includes checking under the hood and the underside of the vehicle. It takes less than 5 minutes and it's the best insurance that they didn't screw something up and try to pass it off hoping you won't notice.
My regards,

I was surfing through some of the older posts and found this. IMO this is the best and easiest no-dollar mod I've seen. It deserves to be bumped for newcomers to see.
Who would have thought it just came out?
