(562) 287-1310 I arrived at the Avistar Parking Facility on 26 JUN 2006 at approx. 4:16 PM as reflected on the receipt I received.

The damage consisted of two white marks parallel to each other approx. 2 inches below the door handle, each being approx. 8 inches in length and a major scratch and dent approx. 4 inches above the bottom of the door and approx. 15 inches in length. This scratch at the bottom of the door incorporated a dent into the body where the vehicle had apparently been subjected to an impact while moving in a forward direction and then been scraped down to the metal along the length of the door. Upon further examination of the door I found evidence that personnel of the parking facility had attempted to conceal what they must have believed to be the damage which resulted from the impact in that there had previously existed a few minor scratches – each being approx
