Fender Blending question

I just realized that this picture may show that they knew about that potential chip before performing work and clearing. In that case, I should have been contacted correct?

It sure does look like it. What about the spot they marked near the side marker on the fender?

I want to say there was a hairline scratch there before I took it in, but I do need to go out and inspect that area as well. So they should have contacted me about this correct? Or by the looks of it, it seems they marked it up to have it completely redone but didn't.

It was marked up to be repaired. They repaired all the other spots marked in the picture correct? It seems they messed the clear up on this particular spot. I would see if there are any issues with all the other spots they marked as well. Last time I had a car at a dealer's body shop they ended up settling with me before taking it to court. You never want to have to go throug with it but sometimes show of force of how far you are willing to take it is necessary before they will budge. Hopefully your insurance can help with the situation and get it taken care of by them just fixing what they were supposed to have already done.

Well, I called my insurance twice last week who sent my info to their repair network center. I called the actual agent I'm supposed to be dealing with yesterday and got voicemail. I have not heard anything back in the last 3 weeks. My next step is to call the manager of the body shop and speak to him about it.

Just took these. I see some previous damaged spots near the lower part of the side blinker, nothing in the front fender area where they had circled, a few tiny scratches that may have been there prior to repair and of course, the cracked spot.
