ALMOST DONE #3!!!!

Damn... have I had bad luck lately...

Well, i have my car back for now, but its going back to the shop today.

After 3 of the longest weeks of my life, i had a chance to see my baby all made over. I went to pick it up but to my surprise, the 4 piece body kit was transformed into 3. The shop "lost" the rear lip, then denied ever recieving it (although i was sitting there when it was delivered). Then, i was looking around the car and noticed that the freshly painted front bumper had nice noticable cracks in the paint along with a scratch. Well, i took the car cuz i couldn't talk to the owner (he was at Import Expo) and when i got to my g/f's house, i noticed the side skirt was falling off. wow, a reputable shop did this...

Well i talked to the owner on monday, and he found the lip and had it painted right away. He also said to bring th car in wednesday and the front bumper would be repainted, and the side skirt would be reattached... THE RIGHT WAY! He even called his employees MORONS! lol...

well, we'll see how long i'll be without a car again... I'll be updating again soon...
keep your fingers crossed...

Its always good when someone still cares about customer service, and will admit when mistakes were made.

i paid $1100 for all. The shop is Body Werks in Skokie, around Main and Lincoln. I gotta admit that their work is awesome, but they drag and some employees are @$$hole$...

actually what happened was someone breke into my car through the drivers window, popped the trunk and took the subs and shiet. Then Body Werks tried to cover it up by replacing the window and playing dumb about the stereo. I figured this out because:

1) Broken glass found in the interior. Didn't clean it up very well!

2) When rolling up window, glass dust caught in the gears make a crunching sound...

3) Not original window. When i bought the car i removed ALL ULEV & Anti-Theft stickers from window... Replacement window had an Anti-Theft sticker.

Like I wouldn't find out... That's why they dragged when my car was supposed to be finished in 1 day (it took 3)



Now, can someone tell me, is it against the law for them to have done this without telling me?
