    That sucks! Hopefully the house is okay.

    I don’t know about Oliver, I do know I wasn’t left blown away by the haddad collision shop.

    I think I might have brought mirrors to color match to Oliver’s a few years ago and was happy with it.

    I always use Mengels-DaFonte in Holyoke. John the owner is a great guy. I’ve had my cars/trucks go there too many times... but their work is stellar.

    Thanks Jared. Yeah, I am good. Just impatient really. :cool:
    Thanks. House is fine, no damage. Just the truck. :(
    Same experience with Haddad. :anonymous: And have heard many horror stories of their shop too.

    :thumbsup: Thanks Drew. Will let you know.

    Rainy rainy today. Waiting on some oil based clear coat to come in (hopefully today) so I can paint the exterior of the MIL house this week. Funny how rare a clear full oil paint is these days.

    We are doing a live edge pine exterior though and want to keep it natural without staining or painting it, so thats the best option IMO.

    Morning . Got the call yesterday . Original guy passed us on the blower door test . Not sure but I think his boss probably gave him shit about failing us with such a close number . My buddy who hooked me up with these people called them also about it so maybe that was it . Either way I gave them a negative review at the BBB website .

    What a relief I bet everyone slept well last night.

    I dunno if I’d leave bad review if they fixed the issues, but again that’s a personal choice and I don’t think it’s bad either.

    gotta keep this 1st gen rust free, right now it’s really only the spare tire holder and spare tire with rust. Might just ditch them.

    Give me your VIN. I work at Lia Toyota in Northampton. There is a recall on spare tire carriers you may still be able to have done
