It’s coming out of money he could POTENTIALLY earn if certain metrics are hit. This could prevent him from hitting that metric. Other things could prevent him from receiving the same bonus. It’s not coming from his actual paycheck on wages he earns for working. Big difference between not qualifying for a bonus or having money specifically deducted from a paycheck. Even though end result maybe the same. One is legit the other is illegal in labor laws.

I understand all that, thanks for clarifying. The salary is set LOW and his income comes from that "bonus". It's a bullshit pay system like the "flat rate pay" for service techs. The tech can be in the shop for 50 hours and only get paid for 20 hours. Or he could be there 20 hours and get paid 50 hours depending on the work load and job types.
Either way the jeep needs to be fixed to the way it was. Loaner provided anything above that would be amazing.

I appreciate everyone's input and advice here.
Dealer is still waiting for parts to come in before I can drop it off. My minimum expectation is they replace my bumper and fender.
I wish they could throw in something to gain my future business, but it seems they are eyeing on meeting the minimum. Dealer is being a dealer, and they are looking for the cheapest way to get this resolved.
They first claimed their invoice on steel bumper is $995 whereas I can get it for $858 online. Then, I asked for a price difference on a sports bumper vs Rubicon plastic bumper, because I've already cut "Euro style insert" out and don't want to do it again on another sports bumper. Their answer is they can't find the part # on Rubicon Plastic bumper, they need a VIN to look it up. I point out they have at least 10 Rubicons in their inventory, they can easily look it up. Dealer: "All of our Rubicon have steel bumper, so we still can't look it up"....Obviously not true and that really pissed me off.
I get them agreed to cut a fog light housing cover off the Euro piece, so it will be the same. They also need to move my off-road lights to the new bumper. Below are pictures of what I was referring to. Thanks again for everyone's opinion and enjoy your 4th July!

The entitlement some have in this thread is ridiculous. All I'd ask is that they fix it so that I can't tell it was ever damaged. I consider it a fair trade that my slight inconvenience is covered by a much larger one for them. I guarantee that will generate a lot less stress than those getting out their pencils trying to tabulate damages and compensation and haggling with the dealer over it.
Maybe some people feel good about bending someone else over due to an accident, but I sure don't.

The best way to avoid dealer negligence , and their smarmy excuses , is to never go to any dealer . They pay dealer general managers $1K a day , who hire the lowest quality , and invent the most improbable excuses for damaging our Jeeps , as well as to pretend that we're getting a good deal by letting them screw everything up .

Quick question, my buddy's 2 door sport Jl came in today, my question is can u remove the euro style front bumper covers in front of the tires? he's not crazy about the look of it but he also don't want to hack up his new jeep bumper if it isn't a easy removal. Thanks for any info.

Be very direct with your demands and provide the alternative of " I am so tired of dealing with this hassle out of no fault of my own. I'll just drop off the Jeep at XYZ body shop and call the insurance to handle this". They are much less likely to do the bare minimum because their expense and hassle will greatly increase in that scenario. You are being far too kind. A steel bumper is not too much to ask for, if they say it is tell them you'll take the cash value of all of the parts and labor and buy the bumper with those funds yourself.I appreciate everyone's input and advice here.

On a side note do not let them "bend the bent metal piece back in shape", that is a bullshit way for them to reduce the costs and leave you with a metal fatigued bumper support.

Yep , and also the dealer turd doing the bending will be a moron , and he will leave a foul odor in your Jeep .
Better to choose your own body shop in the first place , collect the money for the damages , and pay for parts and body shop yourself ; and then find a good independent mechanic . "free" oil changes are a sick scam to trick you ; better to find a good independent mechanic .
