So this is "DONE"? I call BS!

[gav91183]

Wow, that sucks... I don't understand why shops think that's acceptable? I've seen some shops totally fuck up a clean car. Makes me angry even though it's not mine. Good luck with that brother. If they don't want to fix it I'd definitely call an attorney, free consultations are the shit! Not trying to be a C-lawyer or anything.

I know, why waste your time doing the work? When I got there I saw a new z06, the chevy ssr, among a few other new nice cars and I was just thinking you have got to be kidding me. TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!

already know of a girl that works with a lawyer who does insurance stuff and she can set it up if need be. now if they want me to keep it like that they better cut me a check for a few grand since thats what it would knock off my value of a clean, low mileage, all stock fbody.

I bet they used a bunch of aftermarket parts rather than OEM thus causing a lot of the poor fitment issues. Most INS mandate aftermarket since it's cheaper but you can say no and to use OEM.

Sure, and you can pick up the price difference, too.

I didn't have to but then again, I use Nationwide.

A lawyer will not be worth the money, trust me.

You're best bet is to go in there with a level head and simply, but firmly explain that this isnt gonna work for you. If you go in there and start going off, they will probably tell you to go fuck yourself and then you will be fucked, because like I said, you're not going to like the attorney route.

yep

in this pic it looks like the right quarter and hatch are not lined up correctly, however everything else looks like ass...

[JimD]

Thats some horseshit

agreed but i think now its a bit more prominant.. there were a few small door dings on that side quarter panel. maybe the bumper is low or something else is messed up. when i bought the car, the dealer pulled a car fax and said was never in a wreck, maybe it was?

and that i can live with, however everything else looks like utter shit!

[Mark Preus]

Good luck getting it fixed. And im a painter and allstate is a pain in the ass company. They are real cheap and half the time dont wanna pay to fix the cars right. Eithier way good luck

[jammeejamm]

acting like an ass will get you no where. this whole squeaky wheel gets the grease attitude people have is ridiculous.

you go talk to the body shop manager. all you have to say is something like: "this work is unacceptable, and i would like to give you chance to retain a customer by fixing these problems." not acting like an ass will go a long ways with anyone in any service industry.

this was mentioned above and i always laugh. people will go on a rant about a/m parts and how they had a perfect car before. then you ask them if they would like to pay the difference for OE parts, and you get the "i'm not coming out of my pocket" bullshit.

Why the fuck should they? It didn't leave the factory line with jankety ass Chinese bullshit. And this is obviously a no fault accident for the OP.


Insurance companies are a fucking scam. Anything to save a buck. Same can be said for most body shops, as well.

When I had a wreck in my CR-V, the first time I went to pick it up, it had an aftermarket front clip that stood out like a sore thumb on top of the aftermarket QP not matching the hood line. I told them that I wouldn't accept it to which they said OK. They called Nationwide and explained the poor fit and said only OE would look correct and they OK'ed it.

Nationwide is on my side.

Lest jammeejam forget, the shop is working for us, not the other way around. It takes 5 times more money to attract new customers than it does to keep existing ones. Do teh job right the first time and you won't be out your backside for parts and labor.

What was the guys name at classic? Pm me if you like.


I just had some work done there and am going to have to take it back as well.

[jammeejamm]

as a claimant or insured you can request OE parts, but it is not always granted. if you are the insured, you are having your car repaired per the policy/contract you have bought. so unless you have an OE parts only endorsement on your policy, your insurance company tells the shop what parts to use.

there are always exceptions. always.

i say i laugh because there is always some asshole that comes in with a beat to shit car or truck with its own ecosystem growing in the cabin, requesting brand new parts on their never been wrecked car. and the victim role is always played to the maximum. when the idea that they can pay the difference is brought up, it is as if i walked into the naacp building with my iceberg uniform on.
