Took it for paint this morning

Dropped my car off at 8 AM.

Hope to get it back looking good. If not, I will quite literally have to kill someone......
First thing they did after I dropped it off was park the front license plate up against the bumper of another vehicle. Do you people know how easy it is to snap the front plastic grill???

The girl at the desk said they'd fix it if it was broken.

One more strike and these people are going to H$ll in a handbasket....

LOL! You know they let 13 year old kids park the cars. Its true my brother use to do it. He would rag the customers car. I drove a Sweet Black 3rd gen Camaro when I was 15 in one of the shops. That was cool.. it had some nice exhaust on it. First thirdgen I ever drove. Oh krap I shouldnt have told you that. Now your probably going to trip out or something. Well I hope they dont screw up your car and you get that list check off that you had. No matter what they try and say it is their fault they just dont want to pay for it!

o_o hm. well. Thank you for that post there, Redbird, lol.

I'm seriously going to talk to the owner of the place if the car doesnt come out well.

And they still havent moved my car from the bumper of that other car...wonderful shop really.

Is the grill replaceable, if broken, or does it require and entirely new nose?

The place is called "Quality Colors" of all things. I'm thinking, "Where's my 'quality'???"


O_o We'll just see how the car turns out.
