I would think since he said the dealership just put on a new exhaust, if they find that it was exhaust related....Yeah the Insurance should cover it or the dealership will have to replace the car due to dealship fault.

Sucks to see such a beautiful car go down like that.

Yeah I would first call my insurance company and then call the service manager that he needs to leave NOW along with the tech and go to the Goodyear LOL.

Really sad thought....

Wonder the the dealer had some shop rags on the exhaust to protect the car during the welding or something and forgot to pull them out....
