I'm on month 2 dealing trying to get the dealer to right their wrongs. You gotta have a lot of patience with these guys it seems. And, at least with my dealer, you gotta be ok with driving around in a beat down Dodge Caravan as a loaner. That annoys me as much as the repair! Who the eff wants to drive a freakin minivan who doesn't already own one? Nobody! And to make matters worse I was given one that was 6 years old with 103k miles. I likely wouldn't be this worked up if they gave me a sedan. I don't care if it's a caliber or an avenger---anything is better than a minivan.
I need to stop before I continue on this rant. Oh, and I also found that I need to get a bit more body work done before the car is perfect and that's another $350, not including the hardware, which I bought several weeks ago and is sitting at my house.
I got lucky the total repair bill was $7200 and state farm bent over and took right up the butt! I just wanted my car back and was tired of dealing with them! Not to mention I had all my parts to put on and get it tuned! How ever they did do an awesome job with the paint and body work which is why I chose that particular shop!
