Poor body shop experience. Am I being too picky?

    So I had some minor damage to the passenger side of my truck from a small collision.

    I got the truck back today and the antenna bezel nut is all chewed up like some used a screwdriver rather than the removal tool, and the antenna is all marred like someone twisted it off with a pair of pliers. Also the mount looks like it was put on while the clear was still drying.

    I'd be pissed, the whole point of the body shop is to get your truck fixed, not back with different problems.

    Yes sir
    I don't think you're picky. You're the customer spending your money at their shop, and they're suppose to be doing proper work.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Get another appraisal to fix it, give them a copy of the bill and tell them "Hang on, little Beaver we're goin' for a ride."

    At first I was think to myself, "don't blame the guy (OP) but, I wouldn't sweat the small shit".

    However, do I inderstand you correctly in that the remove & install of the antenna had its own line item charge? If so, if they had the balls (and documented that task) then yes, those mofos would be fixing, changing...whatever it.

    If they play the "it was already that way" (unless it was) I'd complaine to my insurance...assuming it wasn't out of pocket.

    Hack job! Have them replace the antenna and review the finish work. I would take it to a highly reputable body shop to check the finish work. Generally speaking when you have highly visible discrepancies it indicates a underlying problem with that entity. It is easy to screw up the coatings. So if they couldn't properly install the antenna, chances are the couldn't mix the finish or apply properly.
