That's a good question!

 

After 6 months to fix a dent and paint, if you didn't get a great explanation and a deep discount on any work done at your expense, you should have. That job should have been done in a few weeks.

 

I think so. Unless of course, it was knowingly put on the 'back burner'. Some customers do that if they're not in a rush.

Anyway, glad to hear its fixed and again that you are okay from the accident!

Should look great, and I'm sure you're excited to have it back.

Take care!

 

Agree; however, it was a full respray, wouldn't that typically be greater than a few weeks?

 

Put it this way: it shouldn't have taken 6 months.

I had a reputable body shop do some minor work on my other car a while back. It took 2 months when it shoulda taken a week.

I calmly explained that to the owner and he knocked 50% of my bill.

 

That would be nice!

 

It can't hurt to ask....6 months is a long, long, long time to fix a dent and paint a car....

 

The shop that did this work for Kevin, Dick's, is known for very slow trickle .

 

Dick Trickle.... ummm.....

Wait, isn't that a NASCAR guy?

 

maybe it was done at Euro Slow on the east coast.

 

Im currently having new front bumper, front and rear scuttle, glass out front and rear and other misc rust bubble issues done and have been told less than 2 weeks.. 6 months and i'd go crazy. Im now starting to get nervous i wont get my baby back before the holidays. Finally putting the old girl through a make her like shes new make over..

 

Kevin, I'm glad it's finally done. We all have different priorities but I would actually trade 6 months for a respray.

 

Pun was intended, in case you are wondering

 

If he knocked 50% off your bill, you were being overcharged by 50%

Complete resprays on a non daily driver typically get love when the shop is slow. Not uncommon. Busy shops are busy for a reason. The results will reflect this

 

So you're saying 6 months to spray a car and fix a small dent is usual? After 6 months of waiting the price should reflect this.
