So the body shop called today....

I get a call from the body shop tonight, just as a background my car was hit by a drunk driver a little over a month ago, the guy tells me he has the buschur deluxe ic I ordered but doesn't know how to put it on and asked me to come look at it. Now I know some parts can be pretty confusing to put on but I mean come on, its a bolt on part. I am so scared for my evo being worked on by those guys now. They still have to replace my radiator and all of the stuff with that as well. I know this post doesn't really have a point but don't you think that is bad when the shop putting your car back together can't figure something like that out??

I'd be a little nervous, and why'd you take it to them and not a reputable shop?

Well I am just here in Wilmington for school so I didn't know a very reputable shop. These guys were recommended by the local performance shop.

Damn bro that sucks. I would go there and tell them how to do it that way there not just guessing.... then i would tell them to give me a discount . Well whatever you do good luck with it.

hey... at least they are askin' you to come check it out nad not throwin' it on half *** so it falls outta yer bumper later... you should be thankful for that. the worst type of shop is the kind that thinks they know what they're doin'... careful people will earn your business.

Yea I am glad they told me they werent going to mess with it until either I got them in touch with a shop that has done it before or if I knew how. I don't know, I've always been pretty paranoid about other people working on my car and this didn't really help haha
