Local dealership reaffirms why I will never buy a vehicle from them. Pics added

A couple weeks ago I was in a fender bender in which my rear bumper had to be replaced. All the local body shops were hesitant about fixing it because of my cars unique factory paint code, which is a tri coat consisting of 2 different reds and w pearlescent coat with gold flakes that gives the paint an either bright red or close to burgundy looking red depending on the lighting. The body shops recommended taking it to the local dealership that could order the factory paint code instead of having to mix it like the body shops would. No biggie. The dealership does the repairs and I get it back the Tuesday before thanksgiving. The paint is even close to matching. Looks like they painted it Torred instead of Redline tri coat. I let the service manager know and he tells me to bring it back Monday.
I take it up there today, tell them I would like to drop it off tomorrow morning, and ask for a loaner car while they are doing the repair. He asks if I bought the car from that particular dealership and since I did not (you'd be a fool to buy from them. They don't negotiate on prices and even have a brand new Chrysler 300 C, fully loaded, that's a damn 2014 and has been on the lot for 18 months now and they still won't wiggle on price ), but since I didn't buy a car from them, they can't give me a loaner while they repaint a bumper they incorrectly painted the first time. What kind of shite is that! They never had to worry about me purchasing a vehicle from them before, and never in the future will they ever get my business.

"Oh, look at me! My car is one giant mood ring!"
Nice subtle brag, bro.

Sounds like they didn't lose any business

Sounds like your insurance should be giving you the loaner, not them.

I wouldnt expect a place to give you a loaner car like that. Thats the equivalent of me dropping my car off at the goodyear down the road and asking them for a loaner to go get some lunch while they change my tires.

When you drove your car into the paint shop did your wanted level go down?

Are the baby seats ok?

We used to paint stuff like that all the time. That place either has some lazy or shitty painters.

Bumpers are pretty hard to match especially on a butt match like that. You are usually supposed to blend into the fenders or rear panels. Lot's of things can affect the way the color comes out like humidity, the air pressure, flop, etc. and that becomes even worse on a pearl coat like yours.
Ask DLauw if he gets on here and he will tell you the same thing. He owns a pretty large P&B shop here.

I like the screw up and it makes the car even more "unique".
Posted on 11/30/15 at 5:51 pm to 7thWardTiger
Fix the paint yes, they screwed up.
Rental car no, agree with dealer.
