Is that the only chevy dealer in smyrna? Last year caravanning to OC with my club, my radiator hose slipped off . We eventually found a chevy dealer in smyrna and boy, what PR they had; NONE! What a bunch of ignorant employees. I'm going through there Thur. going down OC and I hope my hose stays on this time, because I don't want to see those guys again.

Don't let one stealership be your guide - a lot of them are acceptable (however, just barley in many instances 
).

Dealers just don't get it sometimes - treat the customer right and they will return. Shame that you found one that just screws things up.

Best thing to do is document the damage when you sign the form to pick up the Vette. If they don't repair the vehicle do like someone else said and file on them in small claims court. I bet if you document it when you pick up the Vette and take them to small claims, they will lose or just go ahead and repair your Vette. Much easier to deal with them like this.
By the way, I edited your title to say Delaware vice deaware.

When I Was just out of highschool and a freshman in college, I worked as a porter for a dealership. I can ASSURE YOU they scratched the car, you wouldn't believe how often vehicles get scratched, or even run into or crashed without telling the owner. If a technician, porter, or salesman scratches the car, I GUARANTEE you they will NOT mention it to you unless you notice, THEN they will do something, most of the time. If you bitch enough, they will repair the car. While I was there I never straight up crashed a car or anything. The worst damage I Ever did working there for 2 years was I jumped into an F350 and didn't realize I hopped into a dually, I exited the drive area through a overhead door, and hit the skirt on the side of the door, bounced the truck straight.... it scuffed the paint up something fierce... and I'm ashamed to say I parked the truck, got out, wiped the side of the skirt down with some dealersol, removed the paint from the door jam, and didn't mention it.
Never heard anything from the truck owner.
