damn body shop
i got in a very minor accident, where i hit a tree stump. i had a minor dent on the rocker and door, and the fender needed to be replaced. so they called me yesterday told me to pick up the car. the rocker panel was about 1 inch away from the fender. the rocker panel had so much paint, it was dripped, and there was dirt spots in the paint in the fender. oh and they put a knick in my door handle.
for the love of god. i told this guy before i brought it in that i wanted it perfect, just like factory. and i confirmed the allstate guarantee that they would fix it until i am satisfied.

what is that supposed to mean, the body shop was highly recommended and the insurance company is paying. its not like i went to a maaco or some mickey mouse place. 1300 dollar job for minor body work, its not like i was being cheap...tool

if insurance was paying, you shouldve taken it to the dealer.
might take a day or two longer, but that stuff is garuanteed to back to normal and you'll know for sure that they know wat theyre doing on your car and that theyre using OEM parts.

I wrote an article on bodyshop referral in NJ. Check out:
https://www.rx8club.com/ne-rx-8-forum-29/great-bodyshop-experience-new-jersey-list-55004/.
It pays to do your homework in advance before handing the key off. I went with a "State Farm Recommeded" bodyshop in previous experince on another car. Needless to say, it was a "gigantic" mistake! Nowadays, I trust my own research and words-of-mouth.
Goodluck!
