I had my iq system replaced ,the other day ,and had the dealer drop the car at my place,cause i was working and the wife needed the car for our new baby...When i got home i had a quick look over for any damage caused ,,had issue with gear stick also which whole stick, booot,and linkages replaced.All lokked good ,until when driving it yesterday I noticed a scratch and gouge out of the facia panel below guages ,i was near dealer so went straight into tell them ,got ther explaind problem to which ,cow behind desk replied if its not bought back that day they wont cover it thats their policy,,and said ill go get the manager ,which give me enough time to boil,and spit to her when she returned SHOULD'T YOUR FKN POLICY BE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE YOU CAUSED WHILE WORKIN ON A 3 MTH OLD NEAR 60 K CAR.. Manager came out looked at it and said yeah we obviously done that we will replace it when my car goes in for the paint repair which is another story i dont want to get into Oh this damage was done while car was also in for emergency repair because drivers window was stuck down,this problem occured on the freeway to syd for specialist appointment for bub,so we had wind blasting through car on the way ,so once we got there car was unabled to be left any where so i had to stay in it for 2.5 hrs,,only positive of the day i did not rain.when i dropped car off they said oh tiis car also has a recall!!!

Give them hell mate, till they get it right. After you pay that much for a car they should be doing everything they can to keep you happy and on the road,

good luck

Yeah I'd be pissed too. I'm usually quite a patient person who doesn't go off at shop assistants etc but I've got to say that Holden dealerships have the worst after sales customer liaison ethos that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Its not just holden. I know for a fact Subaru dealers are just as bad. If not worse.
They have the whole "we're a better breed of Human" thing going on.

The only Holden dealer i deal with now is Patterson and Cheney Holden in Vermont there not up themselves and treat you the way you want to be treated buying a new car or second hand to me they have been nothing but helpful and polite and i didnt even buy the car from them. Hope you get ur problem solved
