He called me up while out at lunch, and asked me to bring my car over so he could look at it.
No big deal, I only live about 45 minutes to an hour each way from the dealership, so I head on over.

Once I get there, he claims he can't see ANY of the issues in the paint, the fisheyes, specs of dirt, or even the two rather large and long CUTS in the paint from where their clear bra guy used a razor knife to trim the film while it was ON MY CAMARO at first...

After asking him how he could not see it, and mentioning that you could feel it, he acknowledged those two marks and said "oh, that will buff out"......

He then starts to berate me like a parent talking down to their child who just drew on the wall with their crayons, starts to point out some "bird crap" that was actually a bug sitting on the trunk lid and a water spot (I have not washed my Camaro since I got it back and it rained yesterday) saying that the "bird s**t bleached the paint" and that I was not taking proper care of my car.

You know, the one that's garage kept while I spend on average of 3 or more hours a day lurking on here reading posts on washing, waxing, detailing and all things Camaro, that Camaro..

I am pretty steamed at this point, and asked him since he can't tell the difference between a water spot and bird crap, how does he expect to see any actual damage, and that he should get his eyes checked.
Told him we where done here, that I'd be in contact with Allstate to take care of this.

He being the fine model of good customer service that he is snapped back "Oh yeah, I look forward to hearing from Allstate" in the most condescending tone possible.

Of course that turned off the filter that keeps me from saying what is on my mind a good 70% of the time, and I responded to him that I hope he looks forward to hearing from the Chevy CS line again (who called me back as I was writing this) like when they called while he was out to lunch earlier"
There are two sides to every story, (and this is a great story) but I wonder what the other side sounds like? It seems your Insurance company and Chevy Customer service are siding with your Dealer Body Shop, I just cant see ANY Dealer Body Shop telling an average customer to go pound sand because they cant make them happy.

Due to my placing a negative review on their Facebook reviews section (that has since been removed) and placing one on google reviews, they have told me that they will not service my vehicle any longer.

Even for warranty work that I had parts on order for.
Sounds like theres more to it to me! IMO

Several people I've spoken to have recommended them, and since they are also a Ferrari authorized collision center they deal with picky people.

Sounds like you finally have a solution
