If they don't do it right, then they get to do it again.

Jim,

I agree with you on both counts. Problem is my expectations and the reality of dealing with a car dealer are pretty far apart. If this were a leased Camry that I used as a commuter car, I would just leave it up to the dealer and return it at the end of the lease. I own this car, and was hoping to hang on to it as i really like it!

My time being valuable (to me at least) I think I will save a lot of time just taking care of the issues myself, then passing it off to my attorney. Most of my family are lawyers (3), as well as my GF so, I am covered in the legal department. I was hoping not to go down the legal route, but I feel that the dealerships lack of proactivity on the initial issue, and the subsequent F up leaves me little choice.

I don't want to have my car repainted multiple times.
