    Backstory: My truck started throwing the BSM not available error code while I was driving so i scheduled a service appointment.

    I took the truck in and parked it in front of the dealership. A guy in the service department said he would bring it around. He backed it straight into a pole.
    Pole is just fine; rear bumper is not. See pics below.
    They are doing a full replacement (free of charge obviously) and are giving me a loaner. Is there anything else I should ask for as far as compensation goes?Snapchat-1853693654.jpg Snapchat-926703813.jpg

    They are fixing the damage and providing you with a loaner.

    You don’t get any other compensation.

    ask for cash instead. Put a real bumper on that's not made of plastic...

    Don’t be one of those people who get caught up in the “I’m the victim, i deserve a brand new truck because the bumper got jacked up”. Assuming there is no other damage than the bumper, them fixing all damage caused and giving you a loaner in the mean time should be compensation enough. Accidents happen, nobody is perfect. It seems too many tacoma owners try to take advantage of incidents like this and try to squeeze more juice than they are owed. I hope it gets fixed with no issues

    Exactly!

    Not a bad idea but, I would only expect to get what the dealer would pay for those parts(not what we would pay at the parts counter for OEM parts or the cost for that new bumper you want).

    Nope, tell them not to touch it and have them pay your deductible. Then get a steel or aluminum bumper and never go back to that dealership again.

    Ask em for cash instead so you can put a steel bumper.

    If this is going on the record of the vehicle then it could lower it's value something to keep in mind..

    I'm not trying to be one of those people. I'm 18 and have never been in an accident. I have never had to deal with this situation, so I figured I would turn to a place with a lot of guys with a lot more experience than I. I am not trying to get more than I am owed; I simply want to make sure that I am been compensated correctly. Thanks for the input.

    Already have the tint, but thank you.

    Damage is small enough to not report it/ change the title status of the vehicle.
