Shop messed up my car
After installing the clutch wrong I had to get them to tow it back to there shop and they came in and came to close and hit my passenger side door with there trailer. They said it would be taken care off but 1 week later I get a call that i need to pay $600 lol well I pick up the car and this is what I find after they had it painted. Also Alternater went out shortly after I picked it up FML.
The Door which is perfect:

Primer Overspray where they didnt tape off my car:

Fish Eyes where they stopped painting:

Notice the white specs, that feels like sand paper when you grab the door handle because they didnt paint that:

Im taking the shop to court and hopefully I can get all of my money back,car fixed asap. The shop was very disrespectfull to me the whole time including bad mouthing me.

Ive been without my car for almost a month now so I can really stress that part especially since I was supposed to go home since I havent been since Iraq. I also hear they screwed over some Evo and STI guys by building there motors and putting it into other cars and racing them at the track and blowing there engines and putting it back in there car and letting them take it then say they broke it. I found out about how these guys after I put my car into there shop and it was too late.

Yeah cause im still paying car payment and insurance, lol I was on the phone with my mom when they flipped **** because I asked for a copy of a receipt and my mom was about to kick there ass through the phone lol.
It's one thing to screw a citizen over, but your in the military, i mean come on...places like that is why the american economy sucks
I would also call the local news station and see if they have an investigative reporter to check them out. They have one here named Jesse and he exposes fraudulant businesses on the news all the time. Just another way you might be able to stick it to them and warn others about their business practices.

Damn that sucks dude. When my car got flooded the tow truck driver lifted my car on the lift and cracked my pass side fender and my side skirt. But i guess i got lucky cause he owned up and paid for everything at the dealership to get it fixed. What shop was it so everyone get warned? Hope you get your car back soon. I know i was lost when i didnt have car for about a month too!!
The shop is called East Coast Performance in Jacksonville,FL. IF I can get lucky ill get my money back from when I paid to get the clutch installed and they messed that up too so depending on what the lawyer says I could have a brand new paint job plus some but all I really want is my car like it was before all this bs happend.
There should be a easier way to handle this bs though.

idk as much as they screw people over there still in business but they do have alot of bad rep so who knows. They also stated they put about 100 miles on my car-WTF? in order to test the clutch and take it to the body shop which is a good ways away for some reason.
i would be pissed beyond belief if i was you, i wouldn't be able to see straight with anger
Alright went to base legal today and they pretty much said the shop is full of **** and is out of there minds if they think I have to pay for it, There going to call the shop and just tell them I dont have to pay for it lol If they continue to want to want to argue they said I will just have to go to small claims court and tell them the story and the outcome would be the same where I dont owe nothing and they might owe me more. I have to call the body shop as well and tell them to repaint the whole car.
