Im surprised they havent taken care of this. I took my ss in for warranty work and the service department dented the hell out of my camaro. Threats of suing and not five days later they where repainting the vehicle. No idea who did the damage. Don't care. The damage to your car? Im surprised they didnt jump on fixing this quick. I wish you the best of luck and you have my sympathy. Shame to see such a beautiful zl1 totaled do to incompetnecy. I really question dealerhships and their integrity.

I've been following this closely, as I know some relatives of Mr. Hooper. I shot a paraphrased version of the posts John has made here to my best friends dad who is the service manager of a GM/Cadillac dealer and he said the following:

John, I am very sorry you have to be dealing with this BS. It's clear the dealer is at fault and needs to give you a brand new ZL1 to replace yours.
I did some searching to find some similar stories and heres what came up. not sure if anyone has mentioned these, but they are all similar to your scenario, John. An M5 wrecked by dealer technician on "test drive". Took 16 months to finally close the case. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60...16-months.html A Porsche 996 wrecked by a dealer technician on a test drive http://carpundit.typepad.com/carpund...a_porsche.html 2005 corvette in for broken antenna and jammed trunk. Dealer drives, against the owners orders, and wrecks it. Car was eventually replaced with brand new 2007 corvette at no loss to the owner. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...h-a-new-b.html Hang in there John... we're pullin' for you. |

Justin, one big difference here vs. all the other examples you have listed is one giant one. The dealership was closed in this one unlike the others you posted. In those situations techs etc. drove vehicles during business hours. This one is absolutely different. In this case it is more a case of theft, no more no less.

Good luck John,
Glad to see media involved. Now it's GM turn to get involved, district manager to help persuade the dealership to do what's in their best interest. The need to satisfy the customer. A 2012 low production ZL1 will be a collectible, and there is now way to get this back now. He should get a new car. Dealership needs to eat the cost of what the insurance doesn't pay for. If dealership chooses to, they can go after the ex-employee to recoup their loss. Just some #'s not facts, 2012 ZL1 originally paid $60k Insurance willing to pay $40k So that leaves $20k Come on, you mean to tell me the dealership can't easily recoup this quickly, they will over price a few stingrays above sticker ($5k) and it's done. |

Also why I said the dealer should have made it right in the beginning with a new identical car and had the customer agree that any compensation is the dealers. From either insurance company. |

It would seem pretty easy for them to order a new car or search for a new one to make their customer happy. How this turns my stomach! I am going to be more mindful the next time I am at the dealership for anything. |
