I know its a repost, but not everyone here check the lounge. Since this is a shop in so cal, I thought I'd post it here again in case anyone in this area missed it.

i agree. you get what you pay for. sometimes you might get lucky and get a good job, but is that risk really worth it?

I would never go to a shop without seeing their prior work. I feel bad but he is a dumb ***. It doesn't even look like and actual bodyshop.

From someone who has experienced a body shop in Salinas that botched the appearance package side flares on my car I can totally understand.

I had to have Michael J's in San Jose fix it. Jeff said that he has seen countless examples of body shops that have botched RX-8 installations because they have never worked on the car before.
