car was dropped off at dealer for repair work of the damage in mounting the front license plate bracket even though CA and everyone was told to not mount it. the body shop did not know initially that it was being paid by GM/dealer and called me to authorize the estimate - $1,400 if you'll believe that. it's not a ton of work but needs to be done right and can easily come back and be made obvious within a few months to a year he said so he was going to take his time and do it right hence huge price tag. i said "sure, sounds good", then reminded him it is being covered
