I just got back from a body shop that I chose to do the paint work. I am appalled...
This shop is near my house, so I went in today to get an estimate on the paint work. Some foreign guy meets me as I get out of my truck, and I tell him that I have a rollpan and some quarter panel pieces that I need painted. He had no idea what a rollpan was, and I showed him the pieces. I told him that they needed some light body work, and he basically went on to barade me about the condition of the pieces, he was talking down to me like I was some 8 year old. When people do that, I get pissed. He then followed that up with 1939293 questions about how the rollpan mounts, etc. I told him over and over again that I had been working on this for over two months and that I had everything worked out. Then he basically insulted me by asking if I went over it with sandpaper. WTF, OF COURSE I WENT OVER IT WITH SANDPAPER! He was convinced that all I did was use Bondo to fill in everything, which COULDN'T BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. There isn't a single once of body filler in that entire rollpan. I left that part to the BODY SHOP, because that's what their job is, to do BODY WORK.
After 10 minutes of bull***, I grabbed my pan and told the ***hole that he wouldn't be in business very long if he didn't take his customers seriously. I could've punched the guy right then and there.
