Consumer Description

I WENT TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAINED THAT THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING. I HAD IN HAND 4 ESTIMATES AND EACH PAINT/BODY SHOP ARRIVED AT THE SAME CONCLUSION, "PAINT LAMINATE" PROBLEM. EVERY PERSON WHO WROTE AN ESTIMATE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A GM PROBLEM. THE LAST PLACE I WENT TO WAS THE GM DEALER IN COUNTRYSIDE, IL, (CELOZZI-ETTLESON). ONE OF THE SERVICE CONSULTANTS (KEVIN ANDERSON) TALKED TO THE BOSS (DARREN D'ANDRE) AND RETURNED WITH A PAPER INDICATING TO ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED ONCE THE CAR WAS THREE YEARS OLD. SINCE I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT HAD SUCH A PAINT CHIPPING PROBLEM, I DECIDED TO PURSUE THIS MATTER.
