I'm sorry to hear that. I would be really pissed off too. Was the car left at the shop to have work done?

Yes it was suppose to be done some time ago. I was a day late dropping off the car and he has been putting it off ever since. He said he was going to move it into the shop but was not done. I am at the end of my whits as do not have the time to do it myself. The 2 Toyota Shops in town are worthless.

What work are you having done?

I'd check to make sure your state doesn't have laws limiting how much they can write off as far as damages go. In some cases their "not responsible for damages" statement isn't valid, such as when a car is left in their care or in a state where the owner cannot remove it until they finish the job... They may still have some, limited liability as far as the law is concerned.

I wouldn't just go to dealerships expecting them to know what they're doing, especially with old models. You should look around for a highly rated shop who deals with older imports and has seasoned staff (ie: they don't have all new mechanics every six months). You might find that you get better service and better work for less money.

I doubt this will be of help, however, I have the right rear marker light assembly I will be glad to send you, free of charge, if you need it.

Thank you for the offer! I have secured the 2 tail lens and the cover for the license plate. Think it pissed me off more than the actual damage.

When the bumper cover was removed discovered this part was bent up. Oh I am so pissed off!

If I catch the jerk will be tempted to turn him from rooster to hen!

BTW the garage is not at all responsible.

Ranma, you have the worst luck ever with shops.... You should build a business/website tracking down and identifying terrible autoshops. It would probably be a very popular site and you might even make some good money off of it. I'm sorry that's the case though, but hey find the good in the bad, right?
