Default I hate dropping my car off at the dealer :(

Had a few issues, I had to leave it this morning. I never leave it, I think this is a first. I always wait, but today they said it would take most of the day.
I swear I have such anxiety right now.
Anyone else feel like this when you leave your car?

I'd take the day off and pack a lunch.

What did you find? Or are they removing that front plate for you?

Relax it's just a car. If they mess something up make them pay for it.

there was a hole on the drivers rocker panel.
I did remove the front plate bracket though and i ordered bumper plugs to fill the holes.

Pretty much what Dan said....if you learn how to do basic maintenance stuff you never have to do it.

What I'm about to tell you ain't gonna help. Pull into garage as instructed, get out and proceed to service office which has glass partitions. While chatting with tech , I can see my car being tucked up closer and closer and closer until resistance from the car in front of it!

Last time my car was at dealer for drivers door keyless entry not working. I picked up the car to find a crack in the drivers door. They took no blame and wouldn't fix it.

I would not let the dealer change my oil in anything I own, let alone leave them a ZR1.

My son used to work for a very well known CHEVY DEALER, the saleman and tech take any good car out on the test ride and beat the thing to death, if its a trade-in they take turns beating it to death over many days until it sells or goes to the auction.

They are not to be trusted !!!
