Exclamation Got my Precious back Friday!!!

So the 7 days turned into two weeks, I was a little upset, but after I saw her, all ill feeling vanished.

Before I went in the shop to sign the insurance company check, I looked at my SVX breifly and thought, WOW the rear end looks BRAND NEW!! I had a grin ear to ear. So I go in, sign the check, come back out and pay a little more attention. Im looking her over and my girlfriend says, hey... where are the key marks you used to have? I think about it, and walk around the car and I will be damned if the guy didnt fix all of the driverside door dings and key marks, and the majority of such on the passenger side. This was NOT in the quote and I have no idea why he did this!?! either way I wish I had before and after pics, cause you all would not beleive it.

Anyway, I am VERY happy, this guy did a SUPERB job and I realize why I chose him to be the one to paint the entire car when I do finaly get it done. I can only think that since I had him quote me on a total redo before, and he remembered the car is why he went the extra mile.

Anyways, I have her back, I am so excited, and the reason it took me this long to post is because I was so busy driving her all weekend!!

Chris,

Glad it worked out for you. The next time I see you at Olga's, your SVX should look great and you should have a wall-to-wall smile across your face.

Please post the name, address, & phone no. of the shop that did the work on your car. Let's not let the good ones get away.

Thanks.

Congrats, Chris! I'm happy for you.
Since I am not too far from you please do list the shop and kick a litle business his way as Larry suggested. I might just need him one day (although I hope not).

Hey that's great! I had a similar experience two years ago, some of the body problems I didn't pay for were fixed when I picked up the car. IT's a great feeling.
