I see all of these posts and the same thing happened to me when I took the car in for service. I filed a claim with my insurance company indicating the dealership damaged the vehicle. One thing I don't see posted here is what about frame damage? Something had to stress in order to comprise the fender and panel. I am sending my car to a local frame shop to make sure there was not damage to the frame, which I am sure that the dealer would NEVER admit, even though it was their doing.

I saw post 25 but again, what part of the frame was the jack on? If the fender was pushed out, it had to be because of stress at the connection point of the fender, which would be the frame, correct? I just think the potential is there for damage to the frame so I think it could be more than just than just re-aligning the fender. I would be interested to see the tire wear on all of you who are just fixing the fender. My tires have to be rotated where as most of the Camaro Tires are not rotated, so I would think you would know soon enough if the car is misaligned or in this case a potential bent frame. It doesn't take much bend in the frame to screw the car up. That is my main concern. Thanks for pointing out post 25, I appreciate your feed back.

My drivers side A-Pillar doesn't line up correctly with front fender... I came across it while washing the car. The Dealership won't own up to it, it could have happened when the car was being loaded or unloaded from the transport truck, idk. I'll take it to an auto-body shop when I get some time. If anyone else here has the same problem and a fix, please post.

Brought mine to the dealer to fix last Monday. Still don't have my car back on Wednesday of the next week. I'm so pissed. I keep getting the run around. It was supposed to be ready Tuesday and then Wednesday, but still no car. Problem is no other dealer is going to fix another dealers mistake so I had to go to the AWFUL dealer who did it in the first place.

Did they give you a loaner? Wow over 1 week to fix? I'm thinking of doing it at my dads driveway... there are 2 bolts that if loosened can help adjust the fender. See post above that explains it... just have a bad feeling that it's bent to the point that the 2 bolts won't help much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya true.. right now car has bigger issues. My tranny/Torque Converter is failing, again. TC was replaced in November of last year & I feel the shakes are back, so that'll be round 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Guys, it's been busy at work so I haven't had time to go to the dealership. I have a scheduled oil change next week so I'll address the issue with the dealership then. I'm somewhat reluctant to take my car there anymore. They where just on the news for a tech driving around town with a customers car. Regardless, the plot thickens. Not only does my drivers side A-Pillar not line up correctly with front fender. Upon a closer look, there is a very VERY slight indention on the fender itself. It's as if someone bumped into something, not hard enough to bust anything up but enough to engage the crumple zone. It's really hard to notice, but it is there.

My car has the same issue now on the driver side after a dealership visit. I'm thinking it was lifted incorrectly. Need to take it back in for them to fix.
One downside to this car has to be the jack points. Needing special pucks, not having a lot of places to place a jackstand, etc. Annoyance factor if you need to lift the car for a DIY.
