Update: Upon a closer look this morning, the repair actually does not look good at all. Found a lot of imperfections in the quarter panel where the repair was done - uneven spots in the clear coat (bubbles?), dust particles trapped in the clear coat/paint, over spray in window trims, masking tape marks on the door, and orange peel. At this point, I don't know if I can trust the dealer to rework the repair even if they are perfectly willing to. Not to mention all this was due to a defect that they tried to pass onto me in the first place. What would you do?
- Demand some kind of compensation?
- Ask for a new car?
- Take the car to another body shop and ask them to reimburse?
I can't get over the fact that I paid for a new car but yet it came with a defect, which required extensive body work done to a new car and it was done so poorly.
