Bodyshop Woes!
Poor Murphy recently suffered some accidental door damage, which meant going into a local bodyshop in Fair Oak, Hampshire to get fixed.
This bodyshop was reasonably recommended, so whilst at it, I also asked the them to tend to the rust on the tailgate, thinking this was all straightforward.
Despite promises of perfection, and whilst the actual bodywork on the door was OK and tailgate was OK-ish, to my dismay, these guys really f****** trashed my car. I cannot tell you how absolutely f******* livid I was, but to cut a long story short, (and leave out further expletives), suffice it to say, never again with this company!
They bent my aerial – I mean, how hard is it to put an aerial down?!?!?
They must have hammered the pedal beyond it’s endpoint to not only bend the metal in the engine bay, but also have the pedal sitting to low
Here it is from another angle, where you can see how out of line it is
Dust was everywhere…
including in the stereo…
on the door…
all over the front seats…
and the back. Would it have been too hard to seal the doors, or cover things up??!? maybe just vacuum afterwards???
When they took off the boot and re-fitted it, they incorrectly re-fitted the rear window heater cable, so it was pulled too tightly…
Look at the tension on the crimp connector.. it was never like that before… and what the hell have they attached it to?!?!
then didn’t even bother connecting the other end…
They got paint on the inside of the rear window…
and chipped the bonnet! 🙁
I mean.. WTF!
Seriously, WTF?!??!
And even having fitted the tailgate back, it was leaking…
across both sides…
A bit hard to see from this photo, but they mis-fitted the rubber seal…
…can be seen a bit better from this angle…
They also painted the rubber seal!!!
And the tailgate lock!
And not only the spot of paint at the top of the window… look below… what a bunch of completely incompetent f*****s!
