Default Let me join the chorus...

Back when I had my last accident around Xmas '15 I thought I would give a local
shop a try at my repair. I asked Charlie if he would like to give it a shot
and he said "yes'. After towing my car to Brown's for the estimate
Charlie informed me that his body shop guy didn't have a clue how to repair the 1" tubes in the front end! No experience with a damaged FFR I guess.

At this point I told Chas. I have no other choice but to let my guy in Yuba City,
Ken Pike, Street Rod Painter, pickup the car and transport to his shop in Cali.
Charlie informed me that if I wanted to get my car I would have to pay $500+
for him to release the car. He was charging me for storage(2-3 days), estimate by his body guy and towing by his tow company to Brown's.

Ken P was on his way down to pick up the car that day. I had to pay the money just to get my car. I'm sure it was a "Sour Grapes" attitude by Charlie for losing the business.

You think I'll take any car of mine to Charlie?
