Crooked Stripes

Based on their past performance, I'd say about a year, year and a half. LOL. Seriously, if you are going to let them try to fix it (and I think if you don't it will be hard to take any action against them), you should ask them how long they think. Rather than dictating a time, let them come up with one. If it seems too long, negotiate. If they are involved in coming up with a time, it will be much easier to get them to put it in writing.

On some of the TV shows, they strip and paint a car in a couple of days. I don't think you expect, or even want, them to do a job like that. But like 65Rob said, you don't want them to push it to the back of the shop to work on between other jobs. Hard to say how busy he is, how many employees he has, etc., but he should certainly be able to do it within 30 days.

The problem isn't how long it takes, it's more likely that it gets bumped so they can work on another car especialy if they do collision repair, where the money is. They'll work on it an hour here an hour there so that's why it drags on so long. See if you an get him to commit to a start date so they get right on it as soon as it arrives, there's not a lot of hours involved doing this if you stay on it. A week is a ton of time if they don't just shove it in the corner and ignore it. A day or two and it's done, which is what they should do, get it in, done and over with.
