car back from the body shop..... need opinions
The reason I'm posting this is I need some opinions on whether I should be bitchy about recent lackluster work. The car was recently hit twice (both times at a standstill and hit by other dipshits)
The first time I went to pick it up it looked like an elaphant stood on the bumper, beat the headlights around and scratched the side up w/1k grit sandpaper. There wasn't a single panel on the front end that was even close to straight. Didn't get any pics of it in this condition but needless to say I didn't take it back in the condition they originally presented.
Round two yielded much better results, everything's still a little off. I got some pics of some of it but need to know if I'm being a little bitch and need to let it go and take delivery of the vehicle or if I should continue to be displeased....
crappy pics but.....
overall shot, looks alright from ~20ft.

right fender/bumper w/jacked up alignment

left fender/bumper straight but w/larger than normal gap

lip all scraped up they didn't even touch

bumper scraped up from when the put the lip on, little scratches go all the way across.

That's all I got pics of but there's also overspray on the window trim and a haze on the passenger door. The work was done by a supposedly top notch shop (the bill certainly is at least) but imo is
let me know what you think...

You guys must not be going to reputable shops or something. I have an accord that has been hit 4 time (bought is used so maybe even more) in the front pass side evertime. No problems with anything. The work is excellent and can never tell there has been ANY damage.

Questions are, did they overlook frame pulling or to see if it needs any?? and also did they use aftermarket parts. aftermarket parts fit like crap half the time. no most of the time, and a shop as to put in a lil extra labor to make it right
