Honestly, I think GM needs to step up its game with paint quality. It’s like paying luxury prices for a pretty average product. Anyone else feel the same?

Agreed! It’s disappointing to invest in a vehicle and have these kinds of issues. Are there other brands experiencing similar problems?

I think it’s a common issue across many car brands. I had a Ford that had similar paint problems. It makes you wonder if they cut corners during production.
My question is, how long does it typically take for warranty repairs? I’m worried about being without my car for too long if I have to send it in.
From my experience, it took about two weeks for my paint repair, @jeffreywest. They were pretty efficient but called with updates, which helped ease my mind.
Why can’t we just paint our cars with some DIY paint? Wouldn’t that save us all some hassle when issues arise? Just kidding… sort of.
I’ve had issues with my GM paint and managed to get a warranty claim approved. You’ll need to document your issue with clear photos, as well as any repair estimates. Good luck!
What was the response time for your claim? I’m hoping to get this resolved quickly.
Generally, the response can take a few weeks, but it really depends on your dealer. Make sure to follow up regularly!
I’ve heard that having a detailed service history helps a lot. Did you include that with your claim?
I didn’t include my service history, but I will for my next claim! Thanks for the tip.

Be sure to collect all documentation before starting. Photos, your VIN, and the original warranty paperwork are crucial. Stay organized!
It can feel overwhelming at first, but just take it one step at a time. You’ll get there!
Is there a specific type of paint issue that GM covers? I’ve heard mixed things from other owners.
I believe they cover fading and peeling. At least, that’s what the dealer told me!
Just be patient; it could take some time. I filed a claim months ago and just now got a response. The process can be slow!
I once filed a claim that went smoothly, but they initially denied it due to ‘normal wear.’ It was frustrating!
That sounds annoying! I hope they don’t pull the same stunt with my claim.
