What would you do if dealer chipped your bike and frame?

Had my bike in for repairs and when I picked up my bike I seen the chips on my bike ( frame and lower faring) dealer half butt fixed them now it looks worse than it did with a chip. what would you do? And I like to keep my stuff perfect. Spent a lot of money over the years replacing things that most people would not.

this is a 2017 that i bought labor day weekend
After touch up

Little ones in replacement part

After they replaced stickers still worn

My dealer gouged the inner fairing on my CVO when it was new. They replaced it with a new one.

I agree.If an employee at the dealership caused the problem, than an employee at the dealership should fix it, simple.

The problem is to do it the right way the whole bike needs to come apart and replace or re powder coat the frame

Mechanics are humans too. Ride the bike and have fun. A chip or two ain't gonna make any difference.

I know I am one. And if I screw something up my work has to pay for it. And if I spend 34,000 on a bike that only had a couple hundred miles on it and never made the first payment I want to be the one to chip it
