Default how many guinea pigs out there?

If you've been as unfortunate as me and had your tc in a wreck already how many people have been told from the colision center that they've never worked on a tc before? My cars been in the shop for two weeks now and it kinda makes me un-easy knowing these people havnt worked on this car before. i wonder how its going to look when i get it back. Another funny thing... when all the cops show up after the wreck, each and every one of them including the tow truck driver ask... "What type of car is this?" i get that all the time from all sorts of people. its a good laugh for me though because no one knows what it is but eveyone WANTS to know what it is!

A car is a car... They order parts, put em on, replace what's broken. Body work is no different from car to car, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I felt like a guinea pig when I bought the car last year. When I got it insured, when I got the loan from my bank, when I paid taxes on it, when I got it registered, NOBODY knew what the car was. It wasn't in anyone's computer system.. I had to list it as a Toyota Scion everywhere I went.. and this year when I renewed everything I was able to get it all fixed.

i have a dent on the side of my tc right where the crease is that no one will touch, because they don't have expirence trying to take out the interior to pop a dent out from that spot on the tc.

It's a camry w/ a different candy shell, if it's in the body shop for 2 weeks and they still haven't fixed it, chances are they have no idea what they're doing and you should take your car else where.
