I had to do it. He's two weeks late with the rockers and rear valence and hasn't touched them yet after having them for almost six weeks.
Last week, he stopped returning my calls. I finally called his other job today and left an 'urgent' message with the secretary who then opened the paint booth to give it to him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) He returned my call all pissed off and I just said 'good, I see your phone does work'. I fired him and got my parts back. I think I should send him a bill for the final polish on the car, which he owes me. Looks like I'll be loading the paint gun next week.... |

Don't feel too bad about it if he wasn't doing his job right. I did the same thing. My first body shop was taking forever and doing a lousy job - bondo sculpting. I wasn't about to let them finish the body work and start painting. So I paid him off and brought it to a metal meister and had him do the metal work. Then I brought it to Brandon Penserini and had him paint it. It ended up costing me more and delaying me for over a year but I'm glad I did it. The results were worth it.
