The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I wrote an angry rant about the body shop that worked on my car to my insurance agent. She replies back that she's forwarding it to the shop. Great.
I just wanted to say that I'd suggest against sending customers to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the future. I'm pretty dissatisfied with their service. The replacement front bumper does not align properly with the fenders on the car. When I went to have them take a look at it, they pointed out that the paint on the bumper has been scratched (I'm livid about that, by the way. But my own fault), so they refused to look at the bumper. I decided to investigate myself after getting home. I found that the car was not properly reassembled. The bolts holding down the driver side headlight were only finger tight, and I had to tighten them down. They reused damaged parts (including parts they billed Progressive for as new replacements) and forgot to replace some pieces.
The way the paint is damaged, I also suspect they did not include a flex agent in the paint, which means that as time goes on and pressure is put on the plastic bumper cover, that the paint will begin to spiderweb and crack as it is subjected to the stress.
I've included photos of the bumper fitment and the large chip in the paint for you to see. I also believe the hood is not properly aligned, but will have to take some measurements from an undamaged car first to compare.

Why am I so tired?
That sucks about the car Ridge! When the drivers door on my xterra needed replacing (my own stupid fault), the shop that did the work did not align the hinges well so there is a much larger gap at the back of the front door than on the other side of the truck. Also, the drivers door sticks out near the jamb and its very obvious. Yours looks much worse than mine though. Hope Progressive resolves it for you!
