Alfa Romeo Giulia Crashes at Dealer: A Costly Repair Gone Wrong
Introduction
Taking your vehicle to the mechanic can be a painfully expensive process, but you normally expect to get your car back better than it went in. Unfortunately, for the owner of the Alfa Romeo Giulia in these photos, that was very much not the case.
The Unfortunate Incident
The owner shared images of their Giulia crashed on top of and straddling two other vehicles last week. These photos, posted by u/Over_Inevitable6630 on Reddit, were accompanied by the caption, “I took her in for minor repairs and came back to this.”
The Powerful Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
The scene is made all the more devastating when it becomes clear that the car in question is an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. With its 503 hp (375 kW/510 PS) generated by its 2.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the aerobatic nature of the crash may have been influenced by its power. The owner also mentioned that an inconsiderate minivan contributed to the accident.
Denying Rumors
Rumors circulated on Reddit suggesting that the technician involved in the accident was intoxicated. However, the owner firmly denied these allegations, providing a relief for the dealership. Nevertheless, the dealership is likely displeased with its employee’s involvement in the accident and the resulting damage to multiple vehicles.
The Extent of the Damage
The crash completely sheared the top of a Porsche 911 off, almost turning it into a convertible. The Mercedes GLE, which managed to stop the Alfa Romeo, sustained milder damage. However, in another shot of the accident, it is revealed that the GLE was pushed into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.
Conclusion
The extent of the damage caused by a single sedan in this incident is remarkable. The driver’s injuries and employment status remain unclear. This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder of the importance of careful driving and the potential risks involved even during routine repairs.
