Default stupid shops

I took my car to a Porsche shop to get a whole list of things replaced. Anyway, I pass by there all the time on my way to work so I always drop by to check out the progress. Needless to say, progress has been slow but they've been slowly getting things together. But thats not what I'm all irked up about, by all means they can have as much time as they need to get the job done right but as I took a walk around my car today, I see that my carbon fiber license plate frame is cracked, fine, no biggy I'll get a new one...I go to take a closer look and I see that my whole license plate is bent. Like WTF! Is that how you treat a car who belongs to a customer who is about to drop multiple Gs on labor. And I know that it "wasnt already like that" I know every blemish on that car like the back of my hand. Originally I was going to do all the work myself but the shop I work for has been pretty busy lately and I didnt think I'd have much free time for my own. Come to think of it, I could have done all the **** they've done in about a week! Its been almost 2 months now. Lesson learned: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, DO IT YOURSELF! I just really needed to vent.

2 months? 3 weeks would have been the end of it... Get them to pay for the damage and get your car back, and don't pay for anything unless it is already done and done correctly... =\
