There are 4 adjustable arms on the lift so it is possible to misalign one and damage only one side and not damage the other side.
This actually happened to me also but I don't have skirts so it actually bent my fender and they had to take it to a body shop to realign everything. If I were you, I would inspect the alignment of everything (skirts, fender, doors) and specifically look at the spacing of all the panels to make sure it's all even and correct because it is possible to misalign multiple things. I'd file a claim with GM or talk to the general manager of the dealership and explain to them that they damaged your vehicle and you are worried about other things failing later on down the road and see what else they can give you in compensation. |

WoW. Scary. My back and forth with the dealer last week seems trivial compared to this!

If I was in this situation I would ask for a rocker panel from a new car. From my experience parts painted by a "body shop " have never looked as good or held up as well as a "factory" paint job.

If that was all indeed true, I could understand if you went Rambo on a that dealership. |

The dealership said "no damage". I said BS and called USAA and filed a claim. Appraisal is on Tuesday. We've had a lot of bad winter weather here which has caused delays. I'll update my thread once I have more info and news. Edit: here is the link http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=475766

Well, I see your point but good luck with that one.. l have never heard of a dealer taking a new car apart to fix a customers.. would you want to be the guy that comes in and buys a new car from them and later find out your car was put back together because they used it to fix one in service.. I hate to see this happen to anyone, if the dealer doesn't have a good paint facility then maybe request prepainted factory shipped parts

Update: Dealer repaired my car good as new! Got a new Malibu for a loaner very comfortable kinda liked it lol. The manager waited for me to personally deliver and inspect the car with me, also he added full detailing next time I get my oil changed, apologized on behalf of the dealer and promised it would never happen again. Im truly happy with my dealer(Rick Hendrick) they certainly got my business next go around.
