You should post up some pics. Personally when it comes to rolling/shaving I do it myself so the only person to blame is myself. After reading this I wouldn't go there. Pics would further tell more because as a business owner, some people can't never be satisfied, not that I am saying you are one of those people.

Goodluck, I hate people working on my cars.

i think something is wrong with the way you are uploading images, as they never show up. i dont see any pics here, and there arent any in your coilover thread either.

Exactly. If I knew that I would of done it myself

it was a performance shop I took it to that is a vendor on my other forum. They offer fender rolling on their site so it's not like they never done it before or something they do not usually do. It's a service they provide.

holy fuhhhh! When I tried to roll my fenders I did see some pulling happen and then a hairline crack formed on my paint. From there I stopped. My front (1st) picture looks like that but no chipping, only a hairline crack.

When I do roll my fenders, I will probably borrow the tool and shave the rears.

tell te guy to fix it or you are going to report them to the BB and see them in small claims court or just file a law suit. Most of the time the threat of a law suit is enough to get it fixed

**** that, i would report them, call the bank, and sue them. Touch up paint, and repainting the car, u might end up having two shades of ur color. To me, that's psychological pain and suffering right there, sue them for that.

Not going to happen. lol, from watching the court TV shows the judge explained that if it was physically making/prevent them from doing normal work then they can sue. Even if its mentally, they won't grant it.

But yeah, I would file with BBB and get a few estimates. If insurance won't cover it, best to fix it and pursue a claims in the court. Also, put them on blast if they refuse to make the proper repairs.
