Pardon the Rant & Rave:
So, I'm having a bit of a problem!
Back in October, Brian and I got into a car accident (with my brand new car). Thankfully no one was hurt, except for my baby(i'm talking about car, lol)!
We were driving down a pretty busy road on a Friday evening.. It happened to be raining! We were heading straight, going through a light and then all of a sudden, BAM!! A work van turning left smashed right into us! It happened it slow motion, I saw it coming, I screamed, thankfully Brian turned the car to avoid a head-on collision! Unfortunately the whole front fender, side view mirror, and door were smashed...
I cried, not because I was hurt, because the car I jut bought was ripped apart - I know I'm a bit of a Drama Queen - but still! It was my brand new car, the brand new car that I worked very hard to get! It was my 1st brand new car! Do you get the point, LOL!?!
So anyway, I brought the car to a well known auto body that Brian's parents had used on their Lexus! They did great work for them so it wasn't a question of where I wanted the work done... Well, I was WRONG!
It turned out that the Auto Body Shop had my car for 4 weeks... For 4 weeks it was like pulling teeth to get someone on the phone or to get someone to call me back and let me know what was going on! Finally, I get the car back.. I picked it up late one afternoon in November(ya know, when the sun goes down early, one of those nights). Well, because it was later in the day Brian and I didn't notice that they did a horrible job!! There was over-spray all over the front bumper of my car! But I didn't freak ot because
Brian said it was an easy fix and that he'd fix it..
So, 2 months go by(now is the end of December) and would you believe that all of the paint of the front of my car starts to peel off.. I freaked out and called the auto body shop.. I explained what happened about the paint and the over spray and they told me to bring the car in. So I did....... And they fixed the front(not the over spray though). So again I let it go!
Until...... A few days ago, would you believe that once again the paint is beginning to chip!?! I mean really what does it take to get it right? It really shouldn't be too hard.. They got paid - just fix my car right?...
So, my week has consisted of talking back and forth with the auto body shop and my insurance agency(GEICO)! When I called GEICO and told them the problems I had they said it wasn't their problem. They told me I had to work it out with the body shop on my own.. And believe me - that pissed me off to no end!
So now I'm waiting to hear back from the body shop! It's just crazy that a car accident that happened 9 months ago is still haunting me! Grr...
It's always something, isn't it?
