Default I NEED MAJOR HELP ABOUT MY SCION TC!! ANY ADVICE WOULD GOOD!

Let me get straight to the point......

My sister was backing out her car and in the process, managed to dent the ^&%^% out my front right bumper and left a nasty dent on my fender. Took it to my boys friend shop to get fixed. Cost me $500 bucks. Fixed the bumper....replaced the fender and blended my whole right side. The next day I went to inspect it some more and I notice dry blotches of paint near the bottom of the door. Took it back and they worked on it some more. They wet sanded and buffed it some more. Inspected it again and still saw some dry paint drips on the edges of the car on the right side. Not only that, but my bumper was properly flushed! My left headlight was normal, while my right side was more deep inside showing a gap between the light and the bumper. Took it back again...had them wet sand again and buffed. He told me the bumper was fine, but i see a gap on the right side as to left side there is none. Once I got the car back...he told me thats the best we can do with out sanding off the paint or some crap. I am ____ed off. I decided not to go back AGAIN! I rather pay a creditable shop and get it done right.

I love the tc and all, but I HATE looking at my bumper! As for the dry paint drips...I cant notice them anymore. Or maybe Im not looking hard enough

Its so bad that Im actually thinking about trading my tc in for another car. Im in no mood to customize it anymore. It has 34k miles..its a 2006....The miles is getting up there now. Not sure if its worth customizing now. Need some help on what I should do. Thanks

P.S

Im in NY Long Island. Anybody knows any good shops that would take care of the work that i need done for a good price? Since It was almost done.

I woudn't trade the car if it isnt paid off yet..thats gonna set you upside down..wow i can't believe the shop said they can't DO any better. If you aren't satisfied i would make them recommend you to a different shop. You paid them for their service...so they should fullfill your needs for you car. Good luck man.

I was thinking about selling it on my own....however, buyers might notice the bumper gap and ask questions.

I've seen someones car that had their front bumper repainted. Same thing, there are gaps if you look hard enough. Sounds like all body shops suck. Why would you want to resell anyway? You don't have many miles on it.
