It is usually only a couple of days, mine was there for a month due to recall.

It should only be a day or two delay at the VPC if you dont get any extras unless they are really backed up. My car has been there for a week and a half now because of the m aero kit.

Well one example is if your car gets damaged during transport across the Atlantic, so they need to do bodywork repairs at the VPC.

If you don't mind me asking, how long was the wait at VPC till you pick up your car at the dealer? I am expecting my car to arrive at the nyc port on 3/16 which is a thursday. I should be able to pick up my car by the end of the following week at the latest right?

My car took 2 1/2 weeks at VPC for aero kit installation... dealer told me it just arrived today at their warehouse and I should get it in 2-3 days. So a grand total of 3 weeks.

Forget about it I was starting to believe I was never going to get the car. I forgot what it even looks like. I hope your wait isnt as long.
