Finally got my 02 Maxima back from the body shop after 31 days!

Thank gawd the Roadster was snuggled in the garage and thank gawd the Maxima was under a car cover, however come to find out, I get $5400 in damage with teh cover on! Neighbors were not so lucky as well. My neighbor's 04 Explorer got pounded by THIS: Golfball Size Hail! Sorry for the blurry pics. Enjoy!

Man what an experience. What turned out to be a two week job, doubled.

Came out pretty good though. They even threw in a free battery because my OEM one died. The manager also treated me to lunch at a nice Bistro restaraunt and let me drive his $60K Inifinity QX56 to go eat lunch while they were finishing up minor details. Man that thing is awesome. Wife and I loved it especially the back up camera and NAV!

So I spent a $500 deductible which I am getting back from Uncle Sam, spent $312 on a California Car Cover, and spending $270 on getting it clear bra'd.

All in all its great to ride in comfort and not some POS Chev Classic we had as a rental!

BTW, the guy pictured is one of the detailers, not me,

Pics don't do it justice, kinda hard to see them, but I had dents galore.

Sounds like a good place. The owner must have liked the car or you.

BTW: you can post 4 pictures per post...no need to be whoring

How'd you end up getting your deductible back? Or are you just talking about tax returns or something?
