Default RANT RANT - BODY SHOP CAN KISS MY A$$

Ok... So now we are on week 4 of me w/out my car. I am pissed, upset, pms'ing, etc all in one day!

So I expected to get my car back tomorrow (finally) then I called to make sure. Well it seems that they are still sanding the car and buffing it (in pieces) not put together. <their reason on this is that the car is to damn hard to take apart> if they mess something up, so they prefer to do each piece individually. Though I like the motto, I don't like that they have had PLENTY of time to get this done now they are fking with my time table!

So they tell me that they will sand today and put the car back together tomorrow, and all of monday. So I should have it back by Monday. WTF! Ugh! First the door sills, then the windshield, NOW THIS! (sorry about the rant) the body shop just is pissing me off, and I AM going through a forced mid-life crisis at 27 because I can't have my car!

(I will add this) they are doing this because I told them I wanted it PERFECT for the TT-east showing. They are taking eveyr bit of the time I have though and pissing it away! lol I tried to make that sound positive, but couldn't do it.

Default if it makes you feel better... mine was in for just a hair under 2 months

.... they told me it was going to be "tomorrow" every day after week 3.5. That was rough. I had to take it back in a couple of times to get them to fix some more stuff too.

The reality is... it isn't taking them that long to work on your car. It is really taking them a long time to work on everyone else's car along with yours.

I sympathize my friend... and yes, they can kiss your a$$

Default Now that you told them the car will be at an event...>>

they'll put the body shop sticker on the bumper for advertising.... lol...

Sorry dude, that sucks, still about a week to do suspension and other small details. Hang in there, by now you should really like your Maxima.

Default That isn't even funny! LOL The only good thing is I am not out

flaunting Jeff Bipes LED's around Orlando and adding miles up before the show. But this MAXIMA SUCKS! I don't like grocery getters they are too normal. Only thing that looks at me now is big girls And I don't care what you say they don't need loving too!
