I talked to the manager the owner this morning, and he said all that was left was to have the glass company come out and put the front window in. I asked if that was all there was to do, and he said thats all that left.
Thinking I really want to get my car out of there as soon as possible, I called Bob's Auto Glass, and asked if I could bring the car to them on Monday and have the front window put back in. She said that the window was at their shop, and that would be no problem at all.
I went to see the car today on lunch, and planned to pick it up and take it home. As I walked towards the car, I was impressed with the color! It looked amazing! The paint was very smooth and looked deep with the 3 layers of clear. I immediately noticed that they taped off the wheel wells and exhaust to prevent over spray this time. I was thinking to myself wow, they made good on the promise to do everything right.
It was not until I opened the door, that I literally got sick to my stomach. The interior was absolutely soaking wet! The carpets, seats, floor matts were all saturated. The dust, grime, over spray and everything that covered the interior of the car the last time I was here, has now been rained on, and ran into every crack, crevice, and made this sort of "Bondo / dust mud" covering the carpets and the intire interior of the car. Opening the door, the car smelled like a swamp. I lost it..... I was recording the entire thing with my phone, for use in any future legal action that needs to be taken. I do not think I need to say more, as the video below pretty much sums it all up...........
NOTE: NSFW due to some choice language on my part.....

Wow........... unbelievable....... they must have left it outside with the sunroof out. Are they the biggest bunch of morons on the planet? I'd just take the car the way it sits before the destroy something else. And take em to court. If they strip that interior they'll break most of the parts and lose the rest.

OH MY GOD!!! John, I can't imagine how you feel right now. I felt sick seeing what they did to your car. Don't talk to corperate yet. Talk to a lawyer first!! I'm sorry John. Oh, and call all the local media outlets too!!

John time to put the spotlight on these roaches! Great video btw,...with that and all your documentation, pictures etc, the local tv station will love you. Have them take the story to corporate, and skip the local store. The heat will be much greater that way. What they did to your car is more or less vandalism !! People go to jail for that. Actually vandals probably would not have done as much damage !!

I third this!
I wouldn't let these Bozo's touch my car EVER again!! You can hear him say, "We are going to fix everything" in you video. What do you suppose he means?
Call the local cops and have them send an officer. Then call a flat bed tow truck and get your car out of there!! Bring a friend and a video camera. TONS of pictures! And videos!
And then go after Maaco and this shop. Be sure to include Maaco in your claims. Sorry this happened. Damn shame. How the hell is the rear lid bent? Maybe they took it off and put it back on crooked? I just understand how it could bend or twist. Wouldn't it crack or shatter before bending that much?
Please post the shop name and contact info. Also, managers name if you know it.

Wow. I'm speechless. And furious, on your behalf. Unbelievable amount of disrespect by the company.
