Dont you sometimes wish you were 3 again and could get away with a temper tantrum !

Long story short...I need to find a body shop that wont damage my car further when I take it in to fix the last bit of damage that they did.
Additionally I need a shop whos manager wont treat me like dirt and argue with me for 10 minutes as to how blue paint got on the interrior of my car. I don't own paint let alone blue paint

*insert continuing rant here* ]:| ]:| ]:| ]:| ]:| ]:|!

Do what we do around here and sue the pants off the body shop that ruined your car.

Time to buy some paint and flick it at their cars me thinks Babel. In the same way you would do a pea flick.


Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Do you have a video camera? If so take it with you and point it at the manager while you discuss the proposed work and any problems you had with previous work.

If nothing else, he should be polite while arguing.

Good luck, Mike

babel does that mean when we are past the age of 3 we aren't allowed to throw ourselves in the floor and have a tempertantrum? I keep wondering why people occassionally looked at me funny when I had one in the stores

Babel, you seriously should sue them or order them to clean up or replace the damage.

"babel does that mean when we are past the age of 3 we aren't allowed to throw ourselves in the floor and have a tempertantrum? I keep wondering why people occassionally looked at me funny when I had one in the stores "

I knew I recognized you from somewhere!!

well, Balbel, if it's any concellation; they do it over here too.
When I brought my car to the shop to have a new rear bumper fit, they broke my right tail light, scratched the paint on the sides when they used a screw driver as alever to get the old bumper off and "forgot" to put locking rings on the bolts when they fitted the new bumper.

My insurance agent, who directed me to them in the first place, actually cursed the whole place together, when after three times (!) they still hadn't fixed it all and started threatening that they would charge it all to my insurance.

Tell you one thing; that company (a very large one in Holland) will never work for my insurance company (also a very large one) again!

The best thing to do, is indeed, take pictures of the car before you take it to the shop (best: take them in the shop when you leave it there) and confront them with any additional damages afterwards.

On top of that, I have to agree: you're in America: SUE THEM

inkodinkomalinko, yes it was me in the middle of the floor throwing that last fitI sometimes really can't help myselfask those that were in chat with me Friday nightsorry folks, between the truck acting up, the cell going bonkers, and then the computerit's my right I feel to throw a fit:%)

Best of luck Babel, you might want to get ahold of a lawyer or someone, it would be in your best interest

And Troy, I do believe that is a cow...not really a "longhorn" but more of a short horn Maybe one of the cows from Chick Fillet? (can't spell I know it)
