Somebody please tell me you've been in the same boat before!
My car went into the body shop and was supposed to be started on soon after that in early September and be done in 4-6 weeks. My car sat in the back of the shop untouched for over 6 weeks while he moved in all these quick-fix/fast-money cars ahead of mine. Not until I raised a little cain about the issue did anything happen. Once he finally started on the car back in October, it's been one headache after another ever since. Parts that he said he could repair, he's come back and wanted new ones. He's done nothing but gripe about the quality of the new parts I bought. He's drug his feet like crazy getting the thing done. There's been disagreements on what was and wasn't supposed to be repainted. He wants more money even though he quoted me a price in the beginning. Now it's nearing the end of the year and it's still not done. It has taken him over twice as long to do the car as he originally said and that's not counting the 6 weeks it just sat there. It's been absolutely rediculous. One more incident out this guy and I think I'll go get the car whether it's done or not.
Would it have been this way anywhere that I had taken it?
