Desertdawg Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Am I the only person that can plan warranty work for 3 weeks. (body side mouldings) on the truck, parts ordered 3 weeks ago, at the dealership 2 weeks ago, take a vacation day, drive 45 miles, get there an hour early, wait four hours, then get told they just aren't drying so that can't be installed without risking fingerprints in the paint today ....... Soooo happy my warranty runs out on Tuesday. Then I won't have to deal with this shit anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnU Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 100+ degrees and it won't dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Yeah, I know, they claimed the humidity was to high.. i said, lay it out in the sun for a little bit, it'll dry, but don't leave it to long or it will start to dry rot already. I think they either didn't paint it until I got there. Or they painted them the wrong color and didn't realize the screw up until they pulled the truck out back....

chevyguy1969 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 humidity was an average of 19%. A couple of questions to ask them was the paint water based and how do they paint cars in down in the south east where humidity averages mid 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az57chevy Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 better to get it right and wait though Why not have them give you a rental until your next day off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extender32 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The problem is the dealership you're using. For warranty work, I prefer Arrowhead caddy as they have not done me or Julie wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksAO Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 2nd vote for Arrowhead Caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I bet they had trouble sanding the deer carcas off before the primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvettech Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 do they have loaner cars? it sounds like it was an issue on their side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I go to Yates, distance is my main reason but they also took care of me for years with my company trucks. Many times pushing the mechs to get my problems fixed so I could drive it home the same day. This is was supposed to be a 4 or 5 hour job so a loaner wasn't an option. Plus add in the travel back again after work because they really don't want you to keep the loaner for a week when the repair is done They are are bringing in a body shop tech this Saturday to get the job done on my schedule this time.
