just picked up my camaro today...nope sorry
Well, we went to pick up my camaro today, and my dad saw that they lifted the car on the rockers and bent them in, so guess what, looks like the dealership is going replace that...and there is a clanking sound comming from the rear end...so it looks like its going to be longer then I expected, they better fix the ****, we already payed and I dont think My dad is going to pay another dime...hes pissed that we payed $1800...and on top of this.

We charge 45 per hour labor... so add that up, you REALLY think they have that time in your car? You sure they didnt do a motor swap??

Wow that is a lot for a stock rear end 
I don't know what they should cost to rebuild cuz mine was never really fixed. The guy cracked the paint on my side gfx while it was getting rebuilt too. Ended up paying over $500 for the parts, which he would not refund any even tho with how noisy it is the gears and possibly other parts will be worthless if I rebuilt it again. He did refund $250 for labor. He tried fixing it a total of three times and I yelled at him and cussed and was so mad the third time he tried fixing it that it was noisier than ever, including when I brought it there, he was like blah blah I can't keep working on your car for free I've already put 40 hours into it (probably a lie) and I had three people come over and check and I set it up right (another lie) maybe your housing is bent or the gears weren't cut right at the factory, but I'm done working on it here's a partial refund. If I were to pay a shop to repaint just the side gfx the cheapest quote I got was $675 (kandy). I plan to take him to court. I hate having anyone work on my Camaro but I thought it would be okay since he had done the transmission (it was a transmission shop) and it came out awesome and he hadn't messed up the paint. I am playing with the idea of having maaco repaint my car electron blue next year and buying a used rear end.

if i read correct, they crushed your rocker panels in?!?! you and the dealer are aware those are structural and very important to the integrity of the car....
tell them to **** off after they fix the problem and pay you for damages. **** dealerships and repair shops they all suck. i will say right now... i will not take my car to Discount Tire where i work unless of coarse i do the work. i work with tards and cockbites. there are about 7 out of 20 guys there that i would trust to work on my car. all the rest are retarded, and Discount is a pretty recognizable shop. im sorry but ill say it one time and never again.... WORK ON CARS YOURSELF, DONT TRUST ANYONE. people are ignorant jackasses with no commmon sense and no respect.
good luck tho.
