So this is "DONE"? I call BS!

just got this message "Wanted to let you know that we contacted the salvage yard for a credit on the Rear Bumper Cover and have ordered a new OE Bumper Cover from parts - This should eliminate any issues with the alignment of the Bumper Cover to the body of the vehicle - I\\\'ll keep you posted as to the progress - I apologize for your inconvenience "

sweeettt

Did you have them leave the WS6 emblem off the back, or was that another fuck up on the body shops part?

So the latest part of the saga,

"The WS-6 Emblem is out of production and not available - My parts guy did a national search and there does show to be a dealer that has one out of state - problem is since it is a discontinued part that is no longer in producton the parts department cannot place and order to have it shipped to us - We do not have any other sources that can provide this part - You might consider a search on-line to see if and after-market manufacturer sells reproductions of this part - I'm sure that if you located the part and provided the receipt to your adjuster they would reimburse your cash outlay since you have photographic proof that it was there prior to the loss - Sorry we couldn't be of more help"

"We do not have a source that we use that offers this emblem - I was thinking that if you wanted to invest the time online that you might find it available either OE or after-market - If you do find one and purchase it you would deal with your in-house adjuster not with the drive in adjuster that wrote the initial estimate "

So why can't they do this? Is there something against the dealership buying an Aftermarket part?

Can they give you the other dealer's name?

So here she is done! It looks ALOT better!! I still see a tiny part of a flap on the right.Let me know what you think, will get some more pics tomorrow. The spacing is a lil off still but after the damage, will it ever be perfect?? Do stock bumpers have those"flaps"?? maybe I got a bit antsy because the car has been gone for 2 months and I got tired of waiting. Ill look at it alot closer today or tomorrow after work.

Glad things got worked out for you

Glad you had good luck with Classic in Grapevine. I had bad luck with them/Chevy with my 2006 Colorado. I brought it in and got it "fixed" under warranty 3 times for an oil leak. They replaced the head gasket twice and they replaced the cylinder head once, but it was still leaking. The last time it was in there the dealership said yeah, your block is seeping oil so we need to replace the motor. But I get a call back a couple of days later and they told me that they replaced the head gasket, again, and it is fixed.

I ended up selling the truck and taking a $6k loss because they couldn't fix it right.
