    Default Freaking body shops suck

    Okay so i took off my front bumper(easy as pie fyi). And adjusted my head lights now i can see at night which is a good thing.
    Now for the bad
    So most of you know i took got got in a finder bender and took it to a body shop to get it fixed. They had my car for 30 plus days because they suck.
    Well my bumper on the side i got hit never was flush when i got it back the bumper never really had damage it was the fender and they had to take the bumper off to fix it.
    Well when i took the bumper off i found 2 problems
    1 the side marker light holder there are some clips that are broken on it not to big of a deal doesnt really effect how the bumper fits but none the less its broken.
    2 (This is why i am livid pissed right now and probably going to kill some one.)
    This piece shown in the pic is broken little hard to explain in text with out some of you know exactly what i am talking about.

    But with that broken the side marker holder has nothing to hold up leaving the bumper slid down a little bit making it not flush.
    Needless to say the body shop broke it and when i took it back in they glued it in place but still didnt look flush thats why i took it off.
    and this is what i found.
    So now i am trying to decide what to do. Any suggestions?
    Take it back to the shop and *****.
    Take the loss and spend 300-800 on a new more stylish bumper?
    I dont know but i want it fixed i am jobless and dont have the cash to really go out get a new bumper fit it and paint it. Soo.... i dont know this saturday blows!!!!!!!

    GOSH I FREAKING ANGERY!!!!!!!!

    ps sorry that was a lot to type and i am sure you guys probably dont want to read all that. lol

    Should have brought it to us! We would have fixed it right for ya! My hubby taught Auto Body for 21 years and also has his own business... but we are to far away as well. I would be upset if I were you also!

    AND.... I would take it right back to them and tell them to fix it right! Why pay out more money? Can't believe they had it that long as well.... crazy!
