diplomacy with the nice mechanic

push him to have it repaired, at his cost, at the body shop of your choice.

a bj in the bus shelter would have been an extra $10- FH- poor girls it was 5am frigging -20'c with the wind and snow everywhere (15cm last night) and they're standing out there (bumming all my smokes) trying to turn $10!!!!

yeah but i'd almost rather just get the car and be able to drive it- it's been in the garage for four of the last five weeks! it was ok while i had time-off but it really sucks now. i didn't get a really good look yet- they look like pretty blatant scratches but i didn't see if it was just paint or if there was a dent there- if there is a dent i'll be pissed. if it's just paint i'd rather have the car sooner- at least one of the fenders will match the amateur touch-ups i do on the rest of the car! i agree with you and whiskeychaser- give him a chance to make it right... but i don't want to if it means him keeping my car any longer!

they are counting on you being relieved to get the car back to get out of their responsibility for their damage. ask to have it done at a bodyshop of your choice, that gets the car out of their garage as soon as possible.

Sounds like you are getting ready to lay down. If you don't ask they ain't gonna volunteer.
Before you accept the car test drive it WITH the owner, if all mechanically is okay then it's time to bring up the damage. Once your dough is in his hands it will tend to remain there.

i think we are all too hard on our mechs....last time i had my car done they had even replaced the obc lamps,washed the car,and it was running sweeeet..i was so impressed i stopped at the bottle store bought a dozen beers and went back...you could tell it doesnt happen very often!!!!

you mean you guys don't give your mechanics presents at xmas, or when they do a really good job for you in a small amount of time?
