I called the dealer about the chips on my hood, requested and spoke to the general manager.
He said he wants to take a look at it tomorrow and "see what he can do" - which, more than likely as I see it, will be to take me over to the parts counter and order some touch-up paint, which I already ordered a bottle today just before the parts-desk closed on my way to band practice (in my truck) ($8), thinking at the time there was nothing I could do about it, so I should just drop-fill it as best I can and go on (sadly, I SUCK at repairing paint) - or pay $400 (which is what a company said they'd charge) It had 51 miles when I test-drove it. I think I've got 300 on it now. I bet they won't do anything... How does one do an invisible repair? I was planning on either DIY w/ claybar and Zaino, or taking it to someone to have it detailed (involving a claybar) - if there's a blem, it'll stand out.

That said, I spoke to the GM at the dealership today, he looked at it, and said they'll take it to "their" autobody shop (not their in-house guys, a 3rd party shop) and have them touch it up - if it comes back and I find it unacceptable, they'll repaint the hood! Probably a bit excessive, the most I think about it, but, if it looks like "I" did it, it'll be unacceptable (unfortunately) - he mentioend they'll blend it in, so that's promising... Wow... Granted, I've not had a lot of new-car-dealer experiences, but this guy just made me a customer for my next vehicle...at least... With my car being black, what are my chances it'll look "perfect" again w/ touch up if done by a pro-shop? The chips themselves weren't through the color coat...maybe that helps, maybe not...? |
