Front Bumper Alignment and Bodywork | UPDATE 6/15/2016

Imagine my surprise when I stopped by the auto body shop this morning, only to find out they had redone the bumper cover and prepped the whole front of the car for paint, again.

They apologized and told me the owner of the shop was not pleased as to how the bumper fit with the nose of the car, so he decided to do a little more bodywork, realign the parts and re-prep everything.







Being a perfectionist myself, I actually appreciate his attention to detail and desire to ensure I am 100% satisfied with the results, which—unfortunately—is quickly becoming a thing of the past in every industry and service.

They still have a little tweaking to do, but I am sure that bumper cover has never fit my car as well as it does now, and I am willing to wait a few extra days for top-shelf quality.
