So my recent nightmare with autobody shops.
I have dealt with overall auto for years,
they do custom work and normal work like most shops.
I arrange for them to do my fox body which is in two parts.
first which is finish weld shop repairs, paint interior, truck, bottom of car,
engine bay and re-do primered areas to be safe. Got date, price all was good.
Weld shop finishes and I call, he then tells me 4-6 weeks, I already had spot booked,
he tells me to F-off and its the way it goes do what ever the F, I want.
So I say nothing and end call, before I say something I will regret.
I call JC Auto works, known Mustang guy does good work. ( David Dodge)
I did not tell him who I am, or ask for anything special,
I asked how far booking out, he tells me 4 weeks,
I say ok, like to book in and proceed to tell him what I want, same as above,
outer paint to be done next spring, he proceeds to tell me hes not interested,
I say I am not looking for anything special, just some body work and paint,
he then tells me to F- off also, hes busy and doesn't need my work.
So I am a little shocked that this is how people treat their customers on the phone
and first thought is, if any issues you are so screwed and I will not say anything good
or recommend anyone to these shops in the future. I was not asking for discount or car show
quality paint, just decent work. Sad they think they are that special they can treat folks this way.
