    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Just wanted to say thanks again. I took a ride there yesterday and met with the owner. He's a great guy and we talked for awhile. He's a real gear head and he showed some flame work they were doing on a Lightning and it looked amazing. So on the 10th I drop my car off for a couple of weeks and I...

    I just called them and talked to Tom. Very nice guy and I am going there tomorrow. Thanks again for the number. They seem like they know what they're talking about.

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    One more rant from me. I took a ride to my first choice, but expensive choice, to see the owner and have him give me a price on doing the re-do on my car. He wasn't there so one of the techs looked at it and could easily point out all the problems from the first paint job. He said the hood...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Just got back. Boy it really hurts to be out $700.00. Not to mention the cost to have it done right. So I show him all the problems. He sees them and says he can try to buff it out but it might not take care of it. He said that a fiberglass hood will do that and it happened to his. He tells...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Do you think I should try and fight for my money back or is it just a waste of time? I am not letting them do anymore work on the car so that's out of the question. I planned on calling them this morning to go nuts on them but the more I think about it the more I realize there is no way in hell...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Cash. :( When I went out earlier to look at it I noticed a bubble on my hood. I guess they did not prep the hood correctly. Now I have to call them tomorrow and try and get my money back because I am not letting them touch my car again. This has been a real joke/nightmare. Next car=no...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Update Well I picked up the car today after having them fix the bumper and the paint job sucks and I don't think I'm being too picky. There is a good size drip on the fender near the fog-light and lots of crap and imperfections in the clear coat. After washing the grime off today I even noticed...

    Car Running Rough/Stuttering

    Thanks! Tomorrow I am going to take a look. I took it on the highway after throwing in some Techron Cleaner. It's running a lot better but there is a lack of power. Maybe it's time for new plugs.

    Car Running Rough/Stuttering

    I just picked up my car from the body shop. Not only does the paint look like crap the car is stuttering so bad that it feels like a four cylinder. The day before I dropped of the car I washed the engine and took it for a ride and it felt fine although it has been running a bit funny since I put...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    I just called the moron and told him that I have some major problems with his work. I told him that the bumper was not touched except for maybe being buffed. He said he personally shot the paint. I said don't insult my intelligence and tell me that the bumper was worked on when touch-up paint...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Thanks but I wasn't waxing the car. I should have said washed the car and was detailing the interior. To be honest, I am so disgusted with the car right now that I don't want to even look at it. By the way, do you think this bozo will be able to buff out the crap in the clear-coat? Should...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    A valid question. Well, this is the fourth shop I have used to do different things on my car. The first in the four was the best. They come highly recommended but I still have had problems with them, mostly pricing. The first shop wanted $1,500.00 for the hood and bumper. Kid of crazy, eh...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    This paint job keeps getting better by the day! Today is a good day for detailing and when I looked at the fenders where they blended in the color there is a ton of debris under the clear-coat. What a joke. Tomorrow is going to be a banner day for me because I am going to let of so much...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    The thing that gets me is all the people out there who have their cars fixed who are not like us who know there cars very well. I mean I know every single nick and scratch and how I got them. I can guarantee that people are going in for big ins. jobs in these places and the work is not being...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    Thanks! I would have to do some close-up shots to see the work that was not done. I think the hood looks good but the deal was to pull off the bumper and get it back to new. I know the bumper was off because I saw the car during the job. I guess they just gave it a quick coat of paint and...

    Finding a Good Body Shop is Impossible!

    So I get the call to pick up my car. Great! The paint job is done and now it's time to enjoy. I go to the shop and see the body guy washing it for the presentation. Everything looks great. The hood looks nice and I think, OK, job well done. Hand over the rest of the cash and drive off. I get a...
