This is a reply I got from Chrsyler when I asked about a Dealer doing paint
work on a vehicle, the dealer said that any paint work done by the dealer
would void the paint dealer... This is Chrysler's respone, it goes along
with yours...

> As stated in the previous email. Changes that you might make to your
vehicle do not, by themselves, void the warranty. Cases where warranty is
voided normally involves a problem caused as a result of the modification.
Therefore, there is no way to verify if the dealer painting your vehicle
will void the warranty.
