I got my s back from the body shop today. I had the whole left side repaint due to being keyed a few months back. I was called to come pick my s up, was outta town so had to show up pretty late to pick the s up at the body shop. I got there at 5:00pm the shop close at 5:30pm. I was greeted by a body shop tech and we inspected the car where it was repainted, it look like the shop did a good job with the color blending also got all my rock chips recoated so it look like new The only thing that I saw that was wrong was the back bumper wasn't assmbly on correctly, I mention it to the tech and was told I can either leave it here or come back tomorrow. I just turned in my rental and had no car to go back home, it was almost 6pm which Enterprise closes at that time, so I told him I'll come back tomorrow. I headed back home and inspected the paint work which was . I then started to clean the interior cause there was hand marks everywhere, after cleaning I decided to put the hardtop back on and was shock to see that some of the panels wasn't assmbly back right I look around the area and was shock to see more mistakes, there where seals torn or peeled everywhere. I was about to go into rage mode when I saw another seal sticking out from under the side interior panel The bolt that holds the black seal which sits behind the soft top, where the hard top seal sits on was strip and broken in I decided to inspect the whole car from top to bottom and found more things mission, my duckbill for my AEM v2 was mission, just great now i have to call AEM and see if i can buy one separate. Its dark outside right now, I dont even want to find out what else is broken or missing atm, Im gonna take it back to the shop and raise HELLLLLLL!!!!!!!

Sorry for crappy Pics
This is the back bumper, which is not assmbly correctly

See how off it is, the white part is the unalign bumper sticking out

Here are the damage seals that were torn or peeled back



This is the panel behind the diver side, which is not assmbly correct

This is the bolt that was striped and broken in, Its behind the driver side behind the hardtop brushes. I dont know how they broked it in???

That bolt held this seal which the hardtop seals sits on, now it loose due to broken bolt

And I just found this while sitting in the car, it looks like it was done by a razor blade, I know its hard to see but its a small deep gash

And this was what i was stuck with for four days while waiting for my s


I hope theres no more pics that I have to take, how much damage can one shop do
I hope i post in the right place, lately I've beeb posting the the wrong places

 

wow time to go back and let them know whats on your mind.

 

that sucks, i don't trust anyone with my car.

 

i don't understand why you were "shocked"...it's not that surprising. while you don't expect this as a finished product, each shop and worker varies, and some care more than others.

that being said, i would go back and make it known your discontent. speak directly with the owner/manager.

 

Well atleast the color of that PT Cruiser wasn't too embarassing.

You kinda gave me a head ache reading all of that, though.

Observe:

"This is the back bumper, which is not assmbly correctly."

 

The only thing you can do is take it back, explain to theem whats on your mind, and hope they fix it.

But sorry that you have to go through this, noone should have to.

 

I took the car back and talk to the shop, they took full reponsibility and will fix everything. The reason I was shock was because four close buddys/family took their cars to this shop in the pass and their results weren't anything like mine. Also thats not how I left the car when I droped it off and alot of these mistakes were noticeable, they could at least fix their mistakes. I know we're only humans and make mistakes but I paid the shop to take the car apart, repaint, and put the car back togethere to how it was to begin with. But there gonna take care of it so its all good. I just want my car back the way I left it to begin.
