      Status:
      Answered

      I took my car to ****'s Body Shop on September 26th, 2022 for an estimate to paint the front left bumper and cover some rust on the XXXXX left quarter panel where I had been hit.

      Mr. **** and I agreed that he would paint the entire car excluding the roof. He painted my car the wrong color and did not paint what we agreed on.

      When I went to pick the car up he told me, "It would not have been worth it to paint it."

      But we had agreed upon previously.

      He was given the 2010 color of my car which is Inferno Red, this is listed on the Chrysler website for the 2010 PT CRUISER, but the color he used was labeled CRK, this paint left my car with an orange tint. Mr. **** never bothered to check the information sticker in the car for the correct color. When this was brought to his attention, he said he would not correct it. See Attachments

      I had my car at Keen's AutoBody for repair after an accident.First, it needed to be towed to its location. Days went by I didn't hear from anyone at the business. They need to take a look at what needed to repair. Ask time went on I would call to check the status. They never once were I told there was a parts problem until I kept asking them about the status. I then was told they needed to get the right bumper. They had one that wasn't the one for my make and the model sent me a picture of it and I told them no I didn't want that bumper. The next thing was the radiator they got the wrong one and had to send it back more than once. I couldn't understand if it have a part number where is it coming from to get it wrong? Okay, that sent up red flags. I was told several times when they would be finished with it but then that would change. WE WILL TRY TO HAVE IT DONE ON ? When they called and told me my car was ready I went to pick it up. Looking a the bodywork it looked great them bumper was right. They told me they put something on my faded headlights to help me see at night, Okay, I went inside to pay my deductible and sign the checks from insurance. That's when I made the mistake because the car was shaking vibration just sitting inside. Motor jumping. They told me that because it was sitting for a while that it would get better to take it home, I called the insurance company they told me to take it back to them. The next day I did. Three men came to look and one mechanic did a test drive and said it does shake when yours stop and they check when the air conditioner is turn on it vibrant more. THEN ASK THEY WERE LOOKING UNDER THE **** AND SAID THAT SINCE I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE NEWER CAR I DIDN'T REMEMBER HOW MY CAR FELT LIKE! What?? I make sure my car is well maintained. Then when my insurance person called they said that I wasn't shaking and vibrating. I told him the lied to him! I took my car to the dealership. They checked my car it needed a motor mount.
