Look, no shop should do work like that, but I have to say that something like this was to be expected with a quote of $250 fitted and painted. That is just asking for trouble. You get what you pay for I guess.

The thing is, they raised the quoted price by about $500, and even then it was **** work.

I just read the whole thing in another forum and replied there. But I still feel like replying one more time here. It is ridiculous. Wood screws on the chassis and them not even lining up straight? Moving the door up? Paint not matching and orange peels with drops/runs? Wave-like and bent and scrape body kits? Paints peeling off after pressure washing? This is too too too much.
