the damage

been around a few car washes in my day and you can't misalign it when it's on the tracks. also anything that would would make a dig that far back would make a dig all the way down the side.are you sure you didn't have a little mishap when you got it muddy?

You can mis-align them.

Anything that would make a gouge like that would stop when it reached the back of the truck or when the truck re-centered on the track.

Yes I'm sure. It was the car wash.

Knowing this, I take mine to car washes that I know can handle a truck this size, plus the management has a reputation to make things correct when things do go wrong.
I do the same here because of the weather. Although I usually go to the self serve ones. No track or anything.
