My Scion FRS receieved her first oil change and the dealer decided to give me a nice gift.

Are they gonna fix that? :(

What am I looking at? Looks...kind of like... a dent somewhere?

Too small to tell what it is. Please make the image larger.

A red blood cell?

From the paint, I'm guessing a nice dent in the rocker panel?

just a smudge, I took it there for a complimentary first service they gave me swirl marks but very clean ones

Typical dealer, does a "if you don't see it, no problem!" job to you.

I wish you luck! Generally a dealer would be willing to make it right, and if they don't they will if you threaten a Yelp review or contact the auto manufacturer. Dealers might not show it but reputation means a lot to them.

It's where they lifted the car and failed to lift it properly so now I have a big ass dent in my rocker panel. Sorry for the horrible picture, it's the biggest it would let me upload but the service advisor took pictures and said they would show them to the service manager on Monday when he is in and will contact me. The service was performed in February and its been too cold to go out and clean the car and now that I have I notice a nice dent there.

By the way, the dealer is Tansky Scion Toyota on Sawmill road in Columbus Ohio - if anyone was wondering.

Ask them to buy you side skirts to cover it up

Good idea! Now I want them to dent mine and maybe scuff up the front a bit more. I could save a few bucks.

For real! But joking.
I would not really want my car damaged just to get the stuff. Now... if they did damage it like that though (small dent no paint removed) I think I would do exactly like you said and ask for a set of skirts to cover it. Worst they could do is say no and who knows they may be embarrassed enough to go for it.

Everything for dealers can be acquired very cheaply... Ya go for it
