Dealership Horror Story

" I would make them pay "
Exactly how do you make them pay? Sue them? Your case will on the calendar in 2 years. Your lawyer will charge you several thousand up front (it's not a personal injury, there's no contingency fee).
Now that you know they're idiots, why would you let them touch the car again? They're sending you a message: GO AWAY.
Do you know what they do when you threaten them? "Just bring it in", and it will still be there July 4th.
Yes, I know - it cost a lot of money, and it will never be new again.
It's not a Faberge egg. If this is the worst thing that's happened to you, you're in for a rough life.

not a cool experience at all. There are very competent dealers in this area thankfully; but they aren't perfect and I had my car delivered with a cracked piece of wood trim. I emailed the body shop manager when I got home, and he honestly asked when he could see the car again to make it right. Best service ever. Sewell by the way. So no, don't let them walk over you, call corporate if you believe its the right thing to do, and stand by what 'making it right' means. And yes, life is good if this is the worst thing that happens, but it's not your doing so there's nothing wrong with politely correcting the issue at hand.

I expect the vehicles condition to be the same as when I brought it to the dealership. So kitabel your recommendation to "go away" is completely out of the question, you must work at a shady dealership...
Anyway I am expecting a call from the service advisor today to let me know if I should be taking my car to a 3rd party, or if their installer can "borrow" someone else's bay to redo it. FYI their installer is 8 months pregnant..
With regards to the bumper sag, it is only 2 years old and had no sag prior to them taking it off, so it was definitely related to them removing and installing it.

Drove the car for the first time tonight...they didn't even aim the headlights! This is just comical at this point. Oh and they did not call today like they promised.
