    I am hoping that the body shop that is performing the repairs is part of the Certified First Network. I have had good quality repair work done and I have had poor quality work done on my cars (dealership body shops are no different). No body shop is perfect, but my experience has been that Certified First body shops generally do good work more consistently in terms of paint matching, attention to detail, and long-term durability.

    If this were my car I'd worry all day and night if they'll get the paint job right. I've seen so many examples of lousy work on fender bender repaired cars over the years.

    Has the repair been completed? Good as new?

    It has been 3 weeks since the last post. What is the status?
    Don't worry about what other people think. Drive what makes you happy.

    Damage must have more severe than they thought.
