My Experience

I was in good hands. They kept me in the loop about how my repairs were progressing. There was no drama. I told my mechanic shop about my experience and they said they will be sending business their way.

Great communication about the progress of the repairs. Great work once the repairs were completed, which was ahead of the projected completion date.

It really depends on if we can make the paint job right and what can be done to ease the pain of having to bring it back and be without it for however long again.

Repair Quality

Today I got a good look at the paint job in the sun for the first time and I can see where dust was painted over, and were paint coverage dished out looking like it'd be prone to chipping down the line. I see cratering, pinholing and dirt inclusions. Ill be reaching out tomorrow morning to see what we can do to make it right. Its quite disappointing given the reputation your team has for excellence to get it back and see not one, but all of those defects in one paint job
