Auto Body Repair shop scam. Please Read. 1996 Cavalier Z-24?
My wife wrecked her 1996 Chevy Cavalier Z-24, and we took it to this shady body shop called Jolley's, and the damage needed to be repaired was the front end. my wife paid in installments, it took about 3 weeks, the guy charged $2,700. But he admitted to buying a front end off of a salvaged 2001 cavalier, and we went pick up the car today, and the bumper he put on it was one from a car that was a 2.0 , not the 2.4 L that our car was, and also one of the clear corner lights leaks water and has condensation on the inside, probably due to a scratch that is evident on the exterior of the lens. Don't you think we deserve the parts to work "like new" even if they came off of a used car? I mean, for $2,700, he changed the hood, radiator, charged the A/C, changed the battery, headlights, corner lights, front bumper, hood latch, frame(radiator support), and painted 70% of the car black. Also changed 1 strut in the rear. Do you think I got a good deal? But shouldn't the corner light not leak ?
I worked in a body shop for a while, and you got one hell of a deal. The light should work like you say. But believe me when I tell you the man isn't making much money on this deal, it's a lot of work and time. Just as an example, I have a 1998 Chev, Lumina. I bought a new hood and light. I took it and they installed the hood and light and painted the front end, it cost $1200.00. The hood and light was already paid for. so you got a deal if work was done right.
