- Today did not go how I thought it would go. The car arrived with some issues. Please watch the video of me taking delivery of my 2021 Chevy Camaro until the very end. It kept getting worse. Thanks for watching!

![[DRIP] ‘CLIK CLAK’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bcxkcOSbpac/mqdefault.jpg)
Congratulations on the new ride. It's definitely better than the mustang. Your frustration is understandable, since you bought your car new. In future retrospect these dents & scratches will be insignificant. Hang in there buddy!
It will all work out!
It's a brand new car.... not supposed to be a scratch and dent car. Those guys are assholes for not just bucking up and getting it fixed. There's a scratch and dent guy in Columbus Ohio I watched remove dents from a car in a parking lot. When he was done the cat looked perfect and he charged them like $30 per dent. He removed some light scratches too. It was cool to watch and I was surprised at how affordable it was.
Thanks brother! I appreciate it.
No such thing as being too picky. When purchasing a "new" car it should be perfect. The dealer is being a total jerk and I would square up with them through your all important dealer surveys and Google feedback. We ordered a 2021 Scat Pack and took delivery in June and it stays in the garage 95% of the time. It makes me so nervous to get it out and use it as it's intended. Which is better, a perfect car but don't use it or a car you enjoy everyday that will eventually show some wear and tear.....Gotta find the right balance, although I struggle with that notion. It's obvious that you love the car and rightfully so. Get the damage repaired and enjoy that beast. Awesome choice with the color and wheel package.
I’ll for sure write a review and do what I can but I’m not going to keep pressing.
I've got a 2017 Challenger T/A in contusion blue. I've got a bit over 107,000 miles on it now. Obviously it's my daily but nobody believes me when I tell them the mileage because you can't tell. It does have a couple little door dings I'll be getting fixed soon and a scratch on the front fender that I think might just be in the ceramic coating but i'm not sure. I guess if you wanted to keep it as perfect as possible ceramic coat your car then have one of those clear wraps put on it. Then put those miles on that puppy. Unless it some extremely rare challenge then letting it set really doesn't do any good. I've been looking at challenges recently and ones with 10k miles vs 40k miles might be $2,000 difference in price but that one owner that only drove 10k miles basically didn't get to really enjoy their car where as the 40k miles one owner car the person enjoyed it. Even the older challengers from 08, 09 to 14 its the same deal.
I’m the same way bro. We work hard and pay a lot of money. Once you get the pint corrected and then ppf make sure to then ceramic coat the ppf. I’m sure you already planning on it. That’s the life of us car guys. We are perfectionists as it should be
Yep 💯
I'm happy for you! My Camaro had a small dent as well from the factory that I didn't catch. You however do have quite a bit of scratches that I didn't have. It sucks but you caught it first day on video and make sure to keep us posted on what Chevy says about it and what they do about it. Also good call on them NOT washing it. They "washed" mine and I then had to have it all buffed out. I did the PPF and that does help with the OCD over time as we care for our Camaros.
Hey Chad! Thanks for watching. I just released a video yesterday on the update to the damages.
So happy for you man!! Those dents suck, but don't let that get on your way, have fun and keep pumping up the content you've been wanting to.
We will keep pressing ahead!
@@Gonin60 that's the spirit, let's go!
@@salpanahi let’s go!
We got ours delivered in April I told the dealer the same thing don’t wash they did anyways I almost had a Heart attack when the delivery guy climbed thru the window to get it out 200 miles had to have it towed to have the valve springs replaced almost 2000 miles all that in the past we love love this car the power is just unreal
I’m glad it all worked out for you! Thanks for watching!
I can soooooo relate took delivery of my 2021 Camaro LT1 couple weeks ago that I flew in to pickup and drove home to find a paint chip on the lower rocker panel when I washed her the next day. The dealership stepped up after I sent pics to my sales rep asking them to cover the issue and they ended up cutting a check to cover the paint chip so stay on the hauler and dealership to hopefully step up to cover your damage even if you got the response you did I would run it to the highest level of Mgmt within the dealership you can to get it resolved as you have real time video of the issues as soon as it came off the hauler. She is pretty and you will FALL IN LOVE with her more daily as I have owned 4 Mustangs and one each Challenger and a 20 Camaro V6 and she is by far my FAV!!! Stay strong keep the positive attitude and fight to get your issues handled and covered!!!
I’m in love! I have pushed as hard as I want to. For my sanity, I need to move. If they choose to do the right things it’s on them.
Sounds like you had a good dealership! Glad it worked out.
understand that good on you that creates good juju so have a blast just got the snowflake Z28 gloss blk rims put on yesterday and finalizing getting a few things wrapped in gloss black as well as just got in the 1LE rear spoiler w/t extension so she is going to POP in her Riverside Blue hue!!!
@@wcpa2814 that will look awesome. Send me pics.
@@Gonin60 Yes sir will do just emailed you and i am AMPED to see her transformation tomorrow!!!
I was so hype for this video. Feel for you man. I already found a ding on my Scat Pack. We need to get our two beasts together! After watching the end, I’d end whatever conversations you’ve got with the dealership and move on. Totally agree that it’s BS. If my Scat Pack would’ve arrived like that I would’ve stopped the process and stolen my SXT keys back 100%. My SXT had wear and tear, but that was expected. Brand new? No freaking way man. Better off just cutting as many ties as you can with that dealer, give em the metaphorical finger. Especially if they’re just passing blame.
We do man! You know what it’s all good. I’m walking away and enjoying my badass ride.
Omg yes 5 people called for my Camaro before I even got it. I could hear the excitement in your voice! Congrats she sounds amazing but sorry for her dings I know that’s so annoying!
Thank you for this!
It’s all good! I’m the same way. When I got my 2021 2ss 1lE it came to me from Kansas (to Texas) and the paint was in such bad shape. I’m like you and sure were not alone. We know it’s gonna wear in and get ding and scratched but when you buy new, you expect new.
Exactly!! Thanks for understanding.
OMG that's so awesome. When I got my GT350 I thought it was the perfect car but this takes that all day.
350s are awesome too!
Dealer polished my 1LE hood when I bought it and ruined the wrap. Had to fight with GM (took months) for them to admit responsibility. Ended up getting the hood re wrapped and GM gave me a $500 GM gift card in which I used for a dash cam. Dealership failed to take blame. Made me sick. I feel you man.
Kudos for you on sticking to your guns! I know you feel what it’s like.
It says in the owner manual not to buff that wrap lol😂😂
My 2018 SS 1LE arrived with a row of dents along the bottom of the drivers side door and a paint chip right on the tip of the front bumper. The dealership dent repair guy said it would need a whole new door and the entire side of the car painted! I took it to a local dent repair place and he completely erased the dents without any paint damage. A little bit of touch-up paint dealt with the chip on the bumper. It was painful not receiving the car in perfect condition, especially since it was my very first brand new car. But at least it was all repairable. And they are such incredible cars that I quickly got over those initial issues.
Man I’m sorry that happened to you! They shouldn’t be allowed to sell those cars but like you said, you quickly move on and enjoy the ride.
It still looks great! I'm happy for you. I just put my order in for the 2022 version of this exact one and I can't wait until it gets here. The color scheme is perfect!
This combo is straight 🔥
I'm sorry your car has that awful dent in the fender
When you're spending $70K on a new muscle car you can NEVER be to picky. I bought my new '17 ZL1 and it was 1 of the 10% of ZL1's shipped to the dealer in '17 with a defective supercharger and they continued to lie to me saying all is well and they sent me to the speed shop they use for all the specialty work on the Corvette ZO6 and the Camaro ZL1 to "wake it up", why a 650hp car needs to be woken up is the $64 question. I was told as long as the motor wasn't tore down boltons wouldn't void my warrantee, so a 15% pulley, CAI, headers and a custom performance tune was what I had done. The speed shop verified on the dyno that the supercharger was no good from the factory. The lying bastards at the dealer kept telling me "it's all in spec", which was colossal BS. There's internal service docs identifying the problem, I gave then the doc #'s and they were more concerned about how I got the internal docs and info more than fixing my damn car. The problem was the intercooler in the supercharger, now the charge lasted only 7-10 days before it leaked out. Now the same scumbag svc mgr who sent me to the speed shop himself and told me on several occasions boltons wouldn't void my warrantee now says "the car is modified and it's not our problem"... The speed shop popped the top and the failure was exactly what and where the internal docs said, the bricks on one side where the coolant was leaking was ruined. Then Chevy screwed me over again by not selling the bricks on the one side, then a weld would fix it then Chevy wouldn't sell me the brick, all or nothing, a new 1.7 supercharger was $7295!?&#!! After the 4th charge up by the speed shop, I went with a new whipple 2.9 and by the time it was tested, recalibrated and dialed in with new performance tune, and after $8800 the car is finally running the way it should've all along... The effing POS svc mgr fu*ked me real bad... DO NOT LET THE DEALER GET AWAY WITH NOT FIXING YOUR BRAND NEW CAR!!! This goes alot deeper and if you want I'll get more specific but you make sure they fix your car before you do ANY mods, not even a CAI until your car is 110% correct. They're all lying SOBs and you can't give them any reason to void your warrantee, get it in writing that boltons won't void anything if they tell you what they told me. Dodge is the worst at that game, and Chevy is just as mucked up as Dodge. I hear Ford is the best in this type of situation but unfortunately I truly despise mustangs, they're a dime a dozen. Good luck...
I’m so so sorry you went through all of that! I’ve had better customer service on a $5 item I bought from the store. They need to stand by and take ownership of mistakes because they truly do happen. I hope you’re enjoying your ride now!
I would be pissed, I'm picky too. I would have picked it up from the dealership and physically inspected it there. I had a similar experience, the dealership delivered a hard to find new RST Tahoe to my house. I found two little dings, I sent it back and ordered one from another dealership. The dings can be easily fixed usually with PDR. The other thing they tried to do , that made me send it back was slamming me with excessive fees.Doc and prep fees,after having the final out the door price agreed upon. But, I requested no car wash just like you and to have all the plastic left on. I should have recorded the look on the guy's face when I sent it back and told him I wasn't going to buy it. He thought he had a slam dunk with all that paperwork , Priceless!!
Nice! You played it well!
Make sure to PPF the rockers and door bottoms. Even my 2ss with stock tires kicks up lots of rocks onto the side. I would even recommend the ZL1 add on rock guards.
Will do. I think I’ll do both
And quarter panels most important
Guy climbing in the window is crazy I would be like I will do it. I never let the dealership wash my car. I saw a kid doing it the sponge 🧽 dropped he just picked it up and went to town.Car is awesome looking mint.
Glad I’m not the only one!
Stay positive! I completely understand the OCD..lol. Very happy for you
I will man but paying sticker and 3k+ in shipping cars. Waiting months and dealing with crappy Chevy dealers over and over this was my honest reaction. Just being real but it will all work out. I love the car!
I'm a mustang owner but these new camaros sound mean. Congrats man hopefully the scratches get sorted out
All these American cars like this are awesome. I do love the sound!
Dealers response was horrible. But in their defense, if you do not let them clean the car it is VERY hard to find scratches and stuff. The sill plate was blatantly overlooked, but everything else would have seemed hard to find. Either way try out your warranty, but in the end if you plan to put thousands of miles good luck having that 1LE be spotless.
I didn’t wash the car and noticed 90% of the issues
I am in love with camaro ZL1 whe I was 8 years old & the best part is that you own it :D dents and scratches doesn't decrease the performance, give love to your car and fix those dents. :D
Will do!
PDR from an experienced person. Paint correction and the sill plate replaced. It's all under 500 bucks if the paint correction is minimal. I wouldn't overdo the paint work. It's a car and is going to depreciate. But keeping it up to a factory level every year will ensure maximum resale. My friend just took me for a ride in his California T. I declined to drive it, but will do so in a few days. He buys the supercars right, keeps them factory and upgrades every so often. Don't mod the car until you think you will keep it for a few years. Factory is always the best condition.
Yeah dents, sill, and paint is under 1k. I don’t know how much the light up sill plate costs. I will keep it pretty close to stock with minor cosmetic stuff.
Waiting for get delivery of my 2022 Camaro. I will be taking the same approach and inspecting every inch of the car. That’s annoying did you contact your dealership about it?
Oh yeah. They fought me on it and I chose not to pursue it.
Congratulations on your new Camaro. I too love that color. I found a 2022 Camaro LT1 in transit, in the same color, that I placed a deposit on to guarantee that car was mine. Like you I made specific instructions to the dealership not to wash it, etc which they honored. However after washing and cleaning it for seemed like hours, i found damage on mine also. I have been a car guy all my life and have owned numerous cars, 46 to be exact. Even though it’s frustrating I’ve realized that when I give the dealership the opportunity of try fixing anything it comes back worse. Therefore I just accept it is what it is. It’s good to see someone like myself that is just as picky as I am with their cars lol. Enjoy that gorgeous Camaro, I am!
I’m finding out the same thing and I love your attitude. I’ll keep this in mind on future buys.
How long did it take to arrive at the dealer after you placed a deposit? I placed a deposit a month ago on a 1ss but it’s still in transit
Those are such minor scratches. You can get that ding repaired for $25-$50 by a dentless ding repair place. Just remember you are going to get chips, dings, etc just from everyday driving. Just enjoy your nice new ride and don’t stress about it.
I paid over 50k for a new (new) car. It shouldn’t have come this way.
I totally get it. Just saying don’t stress too much about it since there is really no action you can take against the dealer or truck driver. Sure you could, but it’s not worth the hassle. The car looks incredible so just enjoy your new car!
It’s so hard to keep these cars perfect especially if you daily drive it… I was pretty upset when I found a few rock chips on my challenger but that’s just how it goes when you drive it everyday
How about before you even drive it and put yourself on TH-cam for the world to see and get criticized for being real and honest in the moment.
@@Gonin60 it's not too much to expect it to arrive perfect (or at least blemish free) - there's a difference between getting it in a pristine condition and putting that first blemish (chip/dent/whatever) in yourself; thankfully mine survived the trip from Alberta Canada to NZ with only a couple of issues
I'm sorry for the discrepancies but mine came the same way, I was pissed initially but those feelings went away quick. Take it to the road course right away! Those annoyances will disappear quick!
Great advice! The more I drive it the more that stuff goes away.
You should see how new cars get handled when delivered at rail yards.. brand new cars, zero miles, throttle to the floor, bouncing off ramps, flying over rails Lol.. somethings you just can't avoid. The damage to your car sucks but hey, it's what comes with doing a home delivery.. you should always take delivery at the dealership and point out any issues immediately, then they have no choice but to repair it.
Yeah I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for watching!
Us car folks totally understand. You aren’t being too picky. You just want perfection 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks for understanding! :)
Bought my SS brand new from a dealer last year and I absolutely love the car and have put a lot of work and money into it since then. But getting it from the dealer was so aggravating. The dealership was about 45min from where I live so I negotiated them trailering it to me. My car had dealer installed options like the Camaro lettering badging on the fenders and they fucked it up so bad. Scratching on both sides, deep scratches in the clear coat. So I sent it back and they had to repaint. Then once brought back to me the guy who brought it to me was the same guy and super cool, he’s a car guy as well and had even bought a corvette from the same dealership. He points shit out again. This time I had overspray from the paint on the fenders and the front bumper being touched up. So had to do the whole process again and during it the owner of the dealership even said I could send it back and cancel the deal if I wanted. Couldn’t believe it lol and I would’ve too if it was easy to get what I wanted. Had a garnet red 10 speed with recaros and like I said I’ve don’t a lot to it. Point is, it’s honestly sad no one cares and people aren’t careful and take pride in their work
Wow. I’m literally sick hearing about the experience you had. At least they were willing to own it. Sounds like you are loving your ride and that’s all that matters!!
@@Gonin60 It was so frustrating at the time! But yup I am now that's all that matters and hope you are too! I'm currently waiting on my parts for my cam to come in now!
@@Its_Witness right on!!
Sorry man - but honestly it’s not uncommon! All that is fixable and the ride is sick!!
Fixable - kind of. Rarely do all door dings come out. I expected issues but I’m down to 4 dents now. A couple scratches and a scratched door sill plate. It’s more than uncommon. I think a blind person drove and inspected my car.
@@Gonin60 might be right!! But get a REALLY good dent guy. Not some young guy - someone who’s been doing it for many years. I’ve never had a dent not come out. Including one on the rear c pillar of my scat!!! With no access
@@GuysTalkingCars I just had the best guy in UT attempt to fix mine. One is out. The other is barely noticeable. The bumper ones are permanent unless you remove the whole bumper because that part is plastic. My father in law used to restore Porsches for a living. I’ve been around restoration of cars a long time and sometimes you get lucky and they all come out.
@@Gonin60 crap. Frustrating.
@@GuysTalkingCars I’m very picky. The guy did great work on it and I feel much better about. I expect issues. Had to fix a dent in the roof of my mustang. I paid full price 3k in shipping cars etc. This video is me just being real in the moment. I’m in love with the car and it looks a lot better.
Fellow Satin Steel owner, beautiful, but I would be upset on delivery for sure. I got Xpel Ultimate wrapped on my whole vehicle right away but crap happens
Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the new family member. I’m happy and sad for you at the same time. NO WAY are you being picky…it’s a brand new f*&#@%g car and cost a lot of money! It seems that quality control stops at the factory and not the dealership. Hope you can get all the issues resolved soon. Hang in there…😎
Thanks brother! I appreciate you being on this journey with me!
The round dimple on the back licence plate area is on all camaros, I have same car, it is a mounting point for something
I’ve come to that conclusion as well. Thanks for watching!
When my 2022 2SS 1Le arrives hopefully, im gonna daily drive it during summer no matter how bad the neighbouring hood from where i work at. Dents,chips ang high mileage i dont care. Im not concerned about the value of the car coz it will be forever stay with me. Just let your auto pack deal with it.
Good way to look at it. Enjoy! In the moment it’s hard when you have waited for so long and lit your money towards this big of a purchase.
I want to put the dings and scratches on my new car! I honestly would be upset. Not trying to Amp you up about it. I'm going to inspect my lt1 when I pick it up. thank you for the honesty.
It’s all good man. It will all pass. Be picky on receiving your car! Best of luck and hope it goes well.
I feel your pain. Just bought a 2022 LT1 RS in the Rapid Blue color and 6 DAYS later some dipshit hits me in the front. It was just a fender bender but my grill has holes in it. Bottom part of the bumper has a giant gash and hole in it and chipped paint all across the top part of the bumper. Happened yesterday, still waiting for the police/accident report to see if this dude has insurance. Probably not seeing how he wouldn’t cooperate with me or the cops that were there when it happened.
Ah man I’m so sorry to hear that!!
First off, this is a sexy ride like you said! Congratulations! I’ve had my 2021 LT1 for months now and I love it. To make you feel slightly better about a piece of this is that what looks like a ding on the rear license plate area from what i’ve heard is a “drill area” for foreign plates. It’s on mine as well and that’s what the dealership told me as well as on the forums with other Camaros. A lot of them have “mounting templates” in that area. Either way, I sympathize w you on that very interesting feature from Chevy🫤 I hope you are enjoying that beauty to the fullest.
At least the “first chip/scratch” is over and done with 😆
True!
i got my 2021 Camaro ss in Great condition although i didn't order it i found it at a Chevy dealer and i looked out for anything wrong with the car once i saw nothing wrong i paid. The dealership should cover this since it left there with all these issues you shouldn't have to pay at all for any of this, and no you are not being picky you are paying a lot of money for a "NEW" car.
Glad to hear you didn’t have any issues!
I feel your pain. My new 2021 Camaro had a small dent on the fender back one by the trunk. Also had a little wave on the front fender. I got most if it out, but I was annoyed. I love my car.
Sorry to hear you had some issues as well. Glad it all worked out!
@@Gonin60 thanks. I got some scratches, which I fixed with the touch up paint, cant see it. Happens when you drive the car. Added lots of protection stuff and mods. Your car is sweet and faster than mine lol. I got the LS in Riverside Blue.
@@melody2unes nothing wrong at all with you’re. Still amazing!
Identical to mine but I don’t have the red seat belts. You’re 100% right, a new car should be new and GM should have to fix it. If we wanted cars with dents and scratches in it, we would buy used. I noticed just like mine, the paint on the front bumper doesn’t match the rest of the car. I had mine in to the dealer to see if they will fix it but haven’t heard back. It’s frustrating for sure. Also, watch the vinyl on the hood, a lot of them start to wrinkle around the hood vent. GM will replace the vinyl but they ship their vinyl folded not rolled
Thank you for the heads up on the vinyl!!
@@Gonin60 hey brother, hope you see this. I mentioned the front bumper paint not matching, like mine. I just received a call from my local dealer and gm has agreed to cover the cost of painting the bumper for me. Just something you might want to look into yourself
@@adamhancock8228 that’s great news and awesome that GM is providing some good service.
Nice looking ride! I ordered mine about 3weeks ago. Zl1 rapid blue. I can't wait man! 😁
Great combo!!!
Someone else may have mentioned this as I haven’t read all the comments. The ding on the door should be fixed. Just get a pdr person. Maybe 100-125. That dimple on the bumper is normal. The bumper has dimples for us plates and European plates. Those are the European. A new car being perfectly scratch free is hard considering that it’s loaded on rail or truck and people are walking around it. Also the body panels are punched out in a huge press and even when the die gets older it can cause some small waves. Fix the dings you can and enjoy.
Yeah did an update video highlighting everything
I realize the state of things these days, but if you're super particular like that - you need to not be buying in advance, and you need to find a car that is on a lot that you can really look over. Not saying I would've been thrilled about it, but I DID buy a 2020 1LE that the dealer missed stuff on. It hit me the same way, but the difference was - I said to them that you have two options.. drop the price to compensate for the damage and I will take it to someone else to fix, or I'm walking out the door because I'm not contractually bound to you. Your choice. They chose to meet me at my price point and pay for the fixes as well.
Keep the cards in your hands, not theirs. In the meantime, enjoy your car.. it's the best Camaro they've ever made. I LOVE my 1LE, and you will too!
Great advice! I did that on my Challenger and Mustang. 1000 road trip trashed the paint on those cars doing it again I’ll take delivery in person and put track wrap on the car to drive it back or ship it.
The front bumper paint doesn't match very good either. That little scratch on the back bumper is nothing. The door sill can be changed.
Dope ride. So bummed with the damage I know the feeling. Hopefully they will
Make it right.
Thanks brother!!
My 2021 Camaro looks just like yours. Now I am afraid to get too close to it and find some dent or scratch, I'll just be careful.
I’m sure yours looks great!
Congrats man. I know it can be annoying with the scratches and dings but don’t worry about it. The dealership doesn’t care and won’t help since you’re not local. They know you can’t show up everyday and make them fix it. Chevy dealerships are the worst so good luck with finding one close that take the ownership of honoring the warranty work.
Chevy won’t fix this or warranty it. I’m not going to keep fighting. I guarantee they have already lost business because of it.
I went through the same thing in May 2021 and it had 550 mi on it because they said they drove it from another dealership because they were so short on the chips that goes into the computers so I bought my car when it was raining so I never even thought about checking the paint job which is my bad for sure but was devastated because I know someone else had been driving that car for a while because it's black and it has scratches all over it and swirls from hell all over the vehicle! I got the packages that's supposed to cover that but since it was a factory car, they did not honor any of the packages and it was covered for everything you can imagine. It was so bad that I called an attorney and they still never did anything so needless to say 3 months after buying a car a lady decided to go through a red light and clipped my tail passenger side and of course it had to be right where my tire was. Just such an awful experience. All I can say is make sure to get a dash cam! All I had to do is send them a video of the accident but still it's just not the same after it's been wrecked😕
I’m so so sorry to hear about your experience. I hope it gets fixed up after the wreck.
It's all about what hill you believe is worth dying on. If this is truly important to you, then pursue it to its conclusion. Of all the damage I saw, I would have been most annoyed about the scratch in the door sill. The others do not seem to be as noticeable, but that is just my opinion.
Yeah that’s where I’m at. I’m taking the high road and enjoying my car. The sill plate can be replaced to new. The other stuff it can’t always
... believe it or not most of the lot damage I see happens when the cars arrive from transport.
Crazier yet is how much of it gets blamed on the "evil dealer" but the guys that move your new car around in vehicle haulers, trains boats, etc etc are almost mostly to blame
True. Dealers should catch it though
You should have gotten the 2022 in my opinion because other people are getting 2022 and showing it off on TH-cam. Hopefully I get mines too
Some are still waiting and will continue to wait. I didn’t want to risk it.
It saddens me to see this kind of stuff man, after so much hard work on your end to even LOCATE a car. SMH. keep your head up man, you’re paying for a spotless car you should expect it to arrive as such. On a more positive note, the outro is KILLER bro! Keep up the great work man, we’re still here watching!
I agree with you. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words and support!
Just traded my 21 gt premium for a 23 1ss 1le the Camaro is better in ever way imaginable but when I came home I noticed the dealership didn’t do a great job of washing of this sticky residue over the car. So my pops got dish soap and used the ruff part of a sponge and put swirls all over the glass of my car even the back spoiler and a little on the wrap smh I almost had a break down, now I gotta find a reputable detailer who can buff out most the imperfections but aside from all that mess I love the car.
I hope the swirls come out for ya!
@@Gonin60 yea me too lol thanks tho
I’m really excited for you buddy, she is gorgeous. I would definitely follow up with Chevy and make sure they repair every minor imperfection.
Yeah we will see. If you know how to contact them I’m all ears.
Car looks great,,, I just got my 21 SS 1LE as well. Thankfully no damage. I worked with Chevydude on youtube and he made sure that my car was looked over prior to delivery. Hope you got the few things taken care of.
Thank you!
I hate to say this my friend, but welcome to Chevrolet's quality control. I purchased my Hyper Blue Metallic 2016 Camaro SS, brand new, from a dealer showroom. When I got the car home, you could see the paint was poorly applied on the left rear fender. The dealer said they could repaint the area, but who in hell wants an aftermarket spot paint job? As you said, these cars cost too damn much to have blemishes and cosmetic issues at delivery.
Same here..got a new 2020 Camaro SS and there was a factory paint defect on the edge of the roof near the door and also some paint blotches on the rear wing. The dealer said they would buff it but I knew what wouldn't do the job and I just left it as is cuz I knew it would prob look worse if they worked on it. Domestic car quality sux
I’m so sorry you went through this! Some people commenting on here don’t know the highs of waiting and waiting for a new car and then the huge let down of delivery day. You made the right call not letting the dealership touch it.
Good call and so sorry you had this happen!
Eyyy it’s all good! Unfortunately dings n scratches during transportation is pretty common. But you still got an amazing vehicle man.
It came this way from the factory. I do love it though!
Nice car bro I live in westvalley and I am a proud owner of a 2015 camaro ss maybe one of this days I could should my car .
Congratz Austin. Man is that an awesome looking color. Nice choice on that. I'd probably be pissed too, but don't sweat that small door ding too much, that can be removed easily along with that small scratch on the bumper. That looks like it'll polish out. You made the right choice dropping that Mustang for this beauty.
Dings, scratches, door sill - I expected issues but not this many. I do freaking love the look of the car!
Sorry about your car.
You are not picky at all. I would be upset as well.
The dealer should fix the car at no cost to you. The car was intransport and delivered with damage. They should have insurance to cover the damages. Hope it all works out for you.
Thanks brother! I love the car. I’m not going to keep fighting. I brought it up and told them how to make it right. I believe in karma.
So sorry that it arrived damaged. I pick up my Scat Pack Saturday and I am nervous about the condition.
It will be okay. I’m praying for you. Be picky though. The adrenaline can rush decisions. Paint can be corrected. Some dents can come out. Let me know how it goes.
That’s cool you had all 3 cars Camaro mustang challenger
Thanks man! It’s been fun and excited to see how the Camaro compares.
@@Gonin60 I have a 2016 1SS yellow bumble bee 🐝 it’s a amazing car all stock 455 is more then enough power you feel more sporty in the camaro enjoy your new car. Oakland California love keep the videos coming
@@jasondixon9095 right on! That’s a sweet ride you have. I’m sure enjoying it this far.
This is crazy I wanted this exact same car , same VIN and dealer and everything 😂. Wow small world ! Lol congrats man
Thanks brother! This car and combo is amazing! Let me know if you get one. You also dodged a bullet from getting your Camaro elsewhere.
Satin Steel is the sexiest color.. Same color I went with on my ZL1! Did your car sit waiting on chip(s) for an extended period of time. I bet there is a much higher chance of being damaged as they are just stacked in various open parking spaces outdoors for months at a time :-/
I love this color! And yes it did sit for a month or two. I’m sure that didn’t help haha
@@Gonin60 yeah, for sure! And Satin Steel makes me think of Back to the Future and the DeLorean :D
I also have a 2021 camaro ss 1LE blacked out but mines a 10 speed auto I love it so fast!
It’s a great ride!
Didn’t have any damage on the ones I bought. I can see why you are upset. Door dings will happen People will find the biggest pile they can and park right beside ya and smack it. Get a PDR guy to fix the dent and get paint perfection done with a ceramic coating. Get the vinyl done befor the ceramic as it won’t stick after that
Will do! Thank you!
I'm not into Chevrolet but this Camaro looks good. Pls change the reverse lights to LED tho. Those yellow halogens look terrible.
How dare you talk about my yellow halogens that way ;)
I feel bad for you Austin and I’m just like you when it comes to things like that. I hope the dealership will do the right thing and take care of whatever it costs you after repairs. I must say though it’s a beautiful car.
Thanks Luke! I know you get it.
sweet car buddy!!! I love the color and the matte black hood!!! and it sounded amazing when he started it up!!! as far as the dents and dings, I'm a perfectionist too, so I feel your pain! (Hey, btw, I bought that raptor that I showed you and I'm loving it!!!)
Thanks man and congrats on your new ride! That Raptor looked sweet!!!
Just got my 2021 scat pack shaker *BRAND NEW* tons of scratches on hood and trunk lid. Not sure wtf I’m going to do. Didn’t have the dealership wash mine so they gave it to me dirty and when I hand washed it I found all the scratches. I’m a paint freak and this pissed me off. Definitely soured my delivery day as well.
I’m sorry you went through this. Several people commenting on here don’t get the excitement and then the utter let down. We need time to mourn. My mustang I bought in Iowa had deep scratches all over it new. A paint correction fixed all of them. I recommend you get that done no matter the cost.
@@Gonin60 I think I’m going to have to do the paint correction. It’s absolute bs but it’s necessary. Sorry you have to deal with this twice now smh🤦♂️🤦♂️
Any car I have purchased I do paint corrections on. There are so many particles and things from fallout. Corrections can be fairly cheap. Like $300. Sorry it has scratches my friend!
@@Gonin60 I’ll let you know how it turns out!
@@8speedhellcat889 sweet!
that sucks.....that is a really nice car......wish there was no dings scratches on a $55k car like that
For sure
I'm sorry man. You work your ass off to have nice things and then shit like this happens. Congratulations though it's badass!
Thanks!
Do you use drive through car washes? My camaro will be here in a few weeks and I thought about getting a subscription
I don’t. I wash my cars by hand or in the do it yourself washes. No brushes though.
You got yourself a beautiful car man! It’s such a shame you found so many damages in your brand new car. I personally don’t think you’re too picky I mean you’ve paid top dollar for that beast I mean the least that they should do is treat it with the utmost respect.
Thanks brother!
I feel for you,, we spend our hard earned money on what we love, and it sucks when these subpar dealers shit on us. I would not accept that much damage. I know it's harder to find a left over 21 1LE that meets your specs, I think I would wait on a 22 or try to find another if possible,, Good luck with your situation.
Nah I’ll keep it and try to fix the issues. These guys are something else.
Are you going to take it straight to a shop to add ppf or get ceramic coating? It’s a beautiful Camaro
Thanks! Yep, going in on Monday
Man, I’m waiting for the same exact spec! I can’t wait!
Bro you will love love love this combo!
That sucks hope all is well. I’m trying to get a ZL1 in the same color.
Wow when dealerships wash them they scratch them?! Thanks for the FYI I don't want my future Camaro rapid blue to be scratched
Not all but very few of them know how to wash a car properly.
Just came across this video so a little late to the party, just wanted to say sorry about the scratches on your new delivery, that’s a bummer. But as far as the dents go, this car’s metal is extremely thin. I’ve never owned another car like it. You have to be careful not to dent it hand washing it, and especially on the top flat part of the rear quarter panels. Don’t put weight on it when your washing it. I had a 17’ SS, I’ve done it lol. I also noticed one day that the bottom part of the the front fender, where it flares out a little along the door started to push out. I carefully pushed on it with my thumbs and the metal literally pushed in, and then popped back out leaving waves. The paint is very thin and fragile as well, you can chip it accidentally with even a finger nail. That being said, I still love these cars, got rid of mine because of other problems, but I would consider another one with a 6 speed. Good luck with it 👍
Thanks Kevin! I appreciate the comment and tips!
sorry it went down like this bro on a special day. but you'll forget about it a little bit when you drive it
I will! Thanks brother!
Looks like the dealer left the spacers in the front springs, dont forget to take them out, there for shipping only.
I just checked and they aren’t on there. I asked them to take them off and two where in the glove box. I looked for more and didn’t see anything. Let me know if I’m missing something. Thanks Kevin!
@@Gonin60 Your good to go man! My, bad, in the beginning of the video it looked like they were still in there!
I appreciate you looking out for me!
I’d be pissed to. I’m flying out tomorrow to pick up my 1le ss same color as yours and I’m nervous to see what I’m going to find on it tomorrow
Best of luck! I’m sure all will go well!
Man, I hate that you are going through this. Hopefully you have a good repair shop that can make everything better than new. The color is definitely awesome, I may be a little biased! The small indention on the rear to the left of where the tag is are intentional. I believe these are there if you are from a foreign country and have a different size tag.
Thanks! This color is so awesome. Unfortunately they are imperfections and not where the bracket goes. I had had someone look at it.
@@Gonin60 it is pretty crazy for a new car to have flaws like this. Mine doesn't have any dents but I have found a couple of spots with debris under the clear coat. Luckily they aren't very visible unless you know where to look.
@@everjeff yeah it’s sad how these cars come from the factory. I noticed a couple spots under the clearcoat. It’s all good
The car is super nice..love the specs on it..sucks it has damage though..I totally agree if you buy a new car an pay all that money.. You want it to come perfect.. hopefully the dealership makes it right.. Good luck brother..nice video 💯!!
Thanks brother! It’s on them to do the right thing. If not I’m not going to keep sweating it.
I literally want that exact same car but in crush orange but here in Canada Lord knows when they will roll in I’ll go in this week and see what the dealer says LOL cross my fingers… What is that paint protection you’re talking about in paint correction? Enjoy the vids thanks
Paint protection film is a clear bra they put on the car which helps protect the paint. Paint correction is removing particles embedded into the paint. Clean it and polish the paint. It will remove swirls and scratches.
@@Gonin60 ahh ok it must be noticeable? You’ll have to post this when you do it 🙌 be interesting to see thanks!
Did you build and order this or was this delivered from another dealer?
It was in transit when I put a deposit on it.
Hopefully they will at least fix the ding.
They wont
@@Gonin60 Well that kinda sucks.
@@RaceCarFriends it does but oh well!
What car transport company did you use? I just bought a 2ss 1le!
I used Sherpa Auto as a broker who found drivers.
Beautiful car. I have a 2020 1le same color. Bought new in 2020.
Right on!
How do you like it versus the mopar and ford I have been contemplating getting a shock colored 1le
I need more time with it to give an honest assessment. It will be brought up in future videos for sure.
Shiiiiiiii, that Camaro looking good. Nice whip, Austin!! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯
Thanks bro!
@@Gonin60 Np, np, brotha!!! Enjoy that jawn! And hopefully the dings and dents are less common after the detail and paint film protection, I'm also getting all that unnecessary shii off my car too.
@@hatchcracker_tv nice!!!
@@Gonin60 Hell yea!!!
Was that second to last ding where the license plate goes? If so I think all of them have dimples in bumper. You were smart to not have them wash it. My dealership washed mine once in their scratch bay and swirled my paint all up.
Unfortunately it’s not a place for the license plate in the back. My black Mustangs paint was trashed from them washing it
@@Gonin60 My Camaro has a dimple on each side about 1 to 2 inches from each side of the license plate. I think its just something in the bumper design and not a defect.
@@tylermarshall3251 mine only has it on the left side. I had my pdr guy look and confirmed it wasn’t factory
Congrats on getting the car! It looks great!Sucks about the imperfections.
Thank you!!
I would contact GM and file a complaint about the dealership, I would tell them I didn’t buy there product as is and they need to take care of this issue, I don’t know if you did or not but you should have brought this issue up to the driver’s attention and have him make note of it on his paper documents, but that’s easy for me to say, I can hear your disappointment, I feel the dealership you bought this from knows the damage that was on your beautiful Machine, life really stinks sometimes, all said that’s a great car and enjoy it, I’m the subscriber that has the 2022 , 2SS 1LE on order, will keep you posted on my build, got my Allocation on 9/2 at this time it looks like I’m the only one that has a Allocation on that Trim Level, at this time the plant is Shut down for 2 Weeks,
I do have the paper with the damages but I noted it wasn’t the shipper fault because it wasn’t. If you have a way to contact GM I don’t mind sending something in. I do need to put this behind me and move on.
man that sucks bro. Im sorry what should have been one of the coolest days of your life was tainted by door dings and scratches. I would have been FURIOUS
It happens. Oh well!
