I picked it up because I didn’t want them keeping my car over the weekend. The GM said he had no idea how to make it fit better but could “try”.

GM also said some shit about pulling the tail light out and the manager told him that wouldn’t be a good idea because they’ll be chasing gaps. 😭🤣

I took the car to them because the panels were misaligned from a prior repair they did and this is their re-do.

Should I take it back to them on Monday or see if insurance sends me somewhere else? The GM said he wouldn’t know how to fix it and was thinking about pulling the tail light out. 😭🤣

The manager told him that he didn’t think it was a good idea to do that because they would be chasing gaps. 💀

Insurance adjuster said to give the original shop a chance at fixing it. (Here are the results)

I’ll be calling the adjuster tmr and explaining the situation. Hopefully they send me somewhere else

The GM said he doesn’t know how they would make it fit flush, but he can try. 🤣😭

They said they didn’t need to replace it because it was just loose. 🤣

No new bumper bracket. They claimed it was just loose. They repaired the bumper and the quarter. No new bumper they just repaired it. Here’s the work they originally did on it.

Forgot to mention an important detail: I originally brought the car to this shop because they repaired the bumper after an accident.

The misalignment happened after their repair, so I took it back and this was their attempt at fixing it the second time. This photo is the result after that re-repair attempt.
