Had Enough Of Crap FIAT Bodyshop - Warranty Work.
My car went in to have the bonnet sorted, it had some imperfections in the paint, they said they would polish it out.
So I get the car back and they have polished through the paint to the primer in a couple of spots, and dented the the L/H door step by seemingly dropping something heavy on it.
Car goes back in to have the bonnet painted & the dent fixed in the door step & comes back thus......
1. Bonnet has rubbish shine & fish eyes in the paint (as a result of contamination).
2. Bumper has been re-painted & arounf the DLR's the paint is matt, am there are scratches under the L/H headlight.
3. both front wings have been painted, and now have fish eyes, scratches beneath the paint, hard edges as a result of **** poor masking.
4. The door step has been repaired, but the rear edges has matt paint.
5. The chrome bonnet strip is lifting off.
6. The rubber trim on the top of the wings has laquer on the rubber on both sides.
Basically the car looks like it's been involved in a front end accident and repaired very poorly with regards to paint finish.
I feel I may be pushing for a replacement car as it went in needing the bonnet sorting under warranty, and now has had in total 5 panels painted to a low standard. As it stands I can see that it has been devalued as it's obvious it's had a fair bit of work done (none of it through any fault of mine)
