Cruddy paintjob, Gettin sick of BS Options

[Justin]

Well, last summer someone backed into my car in a parking lot. I got 1900 in damages from their insurance company. One of my dads friends knows the owner of a local Fact-o-bake. So, I get my car fixed and and the whole thing painted for $1100. The first time the whole driver's rear 1/4 panel had runs all down the side as well as numerous other parts. Alot of the trim and the hood prop were white. We took it back about a month later and had them redo it. The car had trash in every single square inch of the paint and a month later the paint was stripping from the front bumper. We take it back again and they didnt even sand the front bumper. They just painted over the chips. You can still see them. There are also too many runs to count again, the trim has been cut up in several places and they painted the front bumper support bars also. I don't know what to do now. My dad wants to take it back again but I can't afford to not have a car to use again. Anyone got any advice?

Take very detailed pictures and demand a new paint job and a loaner car in a letter enclosing the pics. If they say no, get an estimate to redo the car at another shop. Then, go to small claims court. An attorney is not required for a small claims case in most states.
