Engine cover repeatedly not reinstalled correctly, tires rotated but not correct air pressure, tire sensors not readjusted to correct rotated tire position, and now as of this week broken air filter box tab. I pay the dealer for their expertise and so far they are only an expert at breaking my ride. The techs informally admitted that they have the attitude that since mine is a v6 it is a POS Camaro. Oh, and another dealer that fixed a nail in my tire scratched my rim several months back.
I would not trust anyone right now to touch my Camaro but I am stuck since I do not own the scan tool the reset the TPMS sensors after a tire rotation. I guess this might be the last GM product for a while and what a shame since I really like my Camaro....being a "POS v6 with a manual" and all.......

Such behavior is too common unfortunately. I don't think the value of the car matters really. You could have brought in a brand new C7 and still gotten same treatment: "Screw that rich guy and his corvette!" vs. "Screw that dumb idiot and his cheapo-mobile!".
If mentality of assholishness exsists at the dealership, there is not much you can do. They are most like this from my experience. Irregardless of brand. Some are worse than others. I wish that all the warranty repair and maintenance could be done by a third separate party, semi-independently of GM and totally detached from the current sales dealership franchise model. I think it is the sleazy salesman culture that pollutes the dealership atmosphere down to the lowest guy changing your oil (and it is always some 19 year old kid without too many options, kid who is told and shown to do it quickly, sloppy, and that forgetting to put the oil cap back on is just fine as long as nobody notices), culture that promotes "doing minimum of work possible, at all times, and getting away with as much as you can".
Long story short: avoid dealerships at all costs!
Problem... we need cars
