[QUOTE]Originally posted by P Tucker Hi tuck I use ta live in Indy, prbly gonna be back there this weekend. I guess its a sign of the times when a business can charge money turn out crapola work be hostile to the customer and argue about their stupid mistakes. Then stay in business. Here in the Ozarks its moe larry curly and abbot and costello every time u try to get something done. The locals treat customers like they are tourists and they brag about getting visitors money before they go home. Sooner or later it catches up with them.
[B]Thanks alot Darin & Spraytech.
I was actually at the PPG site earlier today, but I guess my navigation was a bit off, I knew I missed something over there.
Professional opinions are worth the weight in gold to me on this stuff.
I had to take my Dodge Ram truck to a body shop last summer after it was hit by tornado debris. The owner of the shop turned out to be a childhood acquaintence from my neighborhood.
I was relieved that someone who knew me would do a quality job on my truck....EEEEEEEEERNT!! Wrong answer.
I tried to be calm about the whole thing, but his prep crew were idiots, and the painter dude was a runner-up for jerk of the year....arguing with paying customers.
They left junk and swirl marks in the paint, and badly orange-peeled areas around the side windows weren't even colorsanded or buffed. Re-assembly was a joke. I found a bed bolt hanging loose, the rear bumper was not aligned w/a loose bolt also, and they broke the plastic mounting points on the front grille, and got very irrate when I confronted them about it. ( they used an air-ratchet to loosen the rusty grille bolts and it snapped the plastic mounting ears....I figured that out when they were installing my NEW grille using the air ratchet....WD-40 guys...WD-40.)
I didn't even complain to my insurance company, and "they" were the ones who referred me there.
If I would've played my cards right, I could've had access to the paint booth and supplies for my Mustang....the guy offered!!
But I was so disgruntled about the $4000.00 shaft jobChoose your battles well===If it dont go chrome it
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
