Wow...you can only imagine what the guy in the car next you was thinking...

Why was that relevant to my comment? No.

Was your first comment relevant at all? I don't think so.

I am hereby making a complaint regarding the comment pertaining to the comment on the comment about the comment! @OP: That sucks. Some repair shops have policies that prevent them from being liable for damage to your car, but in this case, I'd be damn willing to bet that they'll do something about it just to save face. Haha, what a noob-ish mistake. Somebody's probably gonna lose a job over this. xD FYL.

I would have gotten my ass back there and gotten my momey back.

for a year? Did they whack it with a sledgehammer for 365 consecutive days? Why bother fixing a car that they obviously hate?

So that they could beat it for another year, of course! They jumped the gun and went ahead and knocked the side panel off already, though. Cheaters! I'm not surprised the repairman forgot to put in the screws, though; sounds like he's missing some, himself.

I'm curious as to why you didn't fix your car earlier....

It sound like it was just body damage, and also OP might have more important things to pay for than fixing body damage PS. @OP they're not repair men they're mechanics

Agreed. Repairing one's car takes a lot of money. The OP was probably just saving up or something. If something happened to my car, I probably would not be able to fix it for a looooong time either.
