Re: Brand New 2017 Chevy 1500 High Country (HOLY SWIRL BATMAN)
Holy crap, that is BAD!! I watched a couple “detailers” at my local GMC/Cadillac dealer use a couple pole brushes and a dirty bucket of water to wash brand new 100k Escalade’s rolling off the truck.

people should know by now that big business is going to do what they want to do. Unless someone has a special connection @ the dealership- they dont care what you want- it is a hitch in their process and they dont want to be bothered. And they pretty much know as bad as you want the vehicle ( or you wouldnt be there to begin with- you came to them and not the other way around) you are not going anywhere else.
They are going to tell you what ever you want to hear and then do what they want - then come up with a excuse (definition of excuse-- a excuse is a reason wrapped in a lie ) on why what happened , happened.
I have dealt with this kind of crap for years-- its the culture now. Good luck with the paint!!!!!

It’s because 98% of people who buy cars dont care or know what these “swirls” are. IMO, the general public has become accustomed to this and think its the norm. As long as they dont see a strike through / scratch into the base coat, they dont care. Let’s call these people, ‘Lucky’. They must live longer than us.

I get that your buddy really wanted the vehicle but why didn't he just go to another dealership and ask them to order it? Normally when it comes to new cars if the dealer doesn't have it, I tell them to order it in.unless it's a used car, I don't buy cars off the lot. I want a brand new one shipped in.

I agree with you, He was just in a rush to get into a new vehicle. When I bought my brand Accord I told them to not even take the plastic off and they were happy to do what I wanted. I wouldn’t have even dealt with a dealer like this, pretty ridiculous. Like other mentioned, the majority of people don’t know the difference between a swirl and a squirrel and it really irks me.

Looks way better- GM clear coats are notoriously hard from my exp. You did a good job and it looks a million times better-- (even for a chevy with the square wheel wells)
Wheels are a nice design-- are they a aftermarket set??

Those are OEM optional I believe.

You did some excellent work there, and it looks great.
Shame on the dealer, although this seems to be the norm, almost regardless of where you go. The Nissan dealer where I bought my Altima in 2014 seems to be a potential exception, as the car did not have any swirls in it when we bought, but I don't take any chances when we bring it in for service. I print out and signs that say "DO NOT WASH" in bold letters, which get placed in a couple locations in the car whenever I bring it in. So far, they've been very good about following them.
