What other sort of compensation are you expecting? I personally don't think you're entitled to anything other than them fixing what they messed up.
If you don't feel they're capable of fixing it then see if they'll pay for a third party appraisal and fix.
I'm pretty sure they go to a third party for painting anyway.
I wasn't really expecting any other compensation other than them fixing it, but I've never dealt with a situation like this and so I was looking for advice on whether or not I should be seeking any.

I met with their assistant service manager today, and he was very helpful. They're going to repaint it next week although I did find a scratch they left on my door as well. I guess that sort of thing is just going to happen if you're getting your car serviced at a dealership.

I don't think scratching the bumper is inevitable if you're careful. I'm anal about where I park, and paying attention whenever I park my car. Like I said I avoid forward parking against a curb, and I'm aware of the dimensions of my vehicle. That being said, I'm glad they're fixing it, and now that I know that is how they park the cars after service I'll make sure to ask them to be careful whenever I have my car serviced at a dealership.
