poor car...



atleast you found a good body shop.

When i had a little mishap with my car i asked around every single person i knew to recommend me a body shop.



At the end i went by a mechanic's advice and took it to this place. Well i looked around... Looked good...



however i was paying in cash so the budget for the shop to fix my car was set in stone basically... So they did a **** *** job knowing they couldn't milk me on it.



I wish i splurged and took it to carrigehouse restorations. By the time i spend money to fix their mistakes and replace my broken greddy gauge for some reason they pegged it and it fucked the motor inside it.



I could've gotten carrigehouse restorations to fix my car. DAMN! all they work on is high end exotics too... i thought it was too much money because they wanted 800 more then the avg quote. little do i know. THe saying



You get what you pay for was learned the hard way.
