I recently made an appointment with Beach GMC in Myrtle Beach, to have my 2021 Sierra pickup truck serviced. When I arrived at the service department, I told them there was a small quarter size corroded area on one of the chrome rims around the valve stem. I left the truck with them to be repaired and went home. I was never notified on how they planned on repairing the chrome rim, as it was under extended warranty. (The dealership continues to blame the extended warranty people which is wrong it falls back on the dealership. I checked with other dealership and they agree it's the dealerships responsibility). A few days later I was notified to pick up my truck. I was extremely upset and shocked to find out ALL FOUR CHROME RIMS were painted, and the corrosion was never repaired it was painted over. They never notified/called on how they planned on repairing the rim. I would NEVER have approved this! I don't understand how they could just take it upon themselves to paint over the corrosion and paint all four rims without my
acknowledgment. (There wasn't anything wrong with the other 3 rims)
I contacted and spoke with the service manager, as well as the general manager to my disbelief they said this is practice and nothing could be done with chrome. I asked many times why wasn't I called because I never would allow them to paint my chrome rims. They told me to bring my truck back in and that they would remove the paint. A few hours later, I received a phone call from the service manager to pick up my truck. I was told they could not remove the paint without damaging all the rims. I'm still in shock that they damaged all my rims and won't replace them with new chrome rims and my vehicle has depreciated due to their negligence. At this point my only option is to notify and report this to the DMV, BBB, FTC and the attorney general.
