Remember it's there car until you pay it off, they’re going to want to know about this.

Insurance talked to owner.. which happens to be they r best friends. Lol. Insurance told me that the shop is gonna fix everything, so I should wait.. I guess I'm gonna have to wait an another month to get my car back.

The problem is if they where to move it to the rear it would fix the problem but it would create a new one by messing up the outside body line,which looks really good.

tjlazer 04-28-2012 12:00 PM

The side skirts only go on one way, no real way to move them around for better fitment. (clips snap on no way to adjust for better fitment) I say leave it alone as they might mess it up more by removing and reinstalling. The clips are very fragile and break off easily on the side skirt side itself. I know I removed mine.

Suggestions
 
A few suggestions....

First, contact the Nissan area manager. They often handle things better than an individual dealer.

Second, see if you can get a lawyer to write a nasty letter. The letter alone--with appropriate threat of lawsuit or whatever the lawyer thinks is right--might do the trick.

Finally, or instead of #2, file in small claims court for the filing limit--whatever it is in your state. You won't get all your $8000 back, but then again you don't need it all back.

Good luck. Your story gets me mad every time I think of it. I'm with you, bro.

Sometimes that's what it takes. I bought an Integra the week they hit the US shores. Two weeks later, got rear-ended. Aside from no parts being availabe, body shop did a crappy job since it was obviously the first one they had ever worked on. 10 months and $24,000 later (including the Integra loaner I got), it was back to new. Original car was like $16,000.They should have just totaled it.

jboffill 04-30-2012 05:56 PM

James take all the pictures, all the documents, write down the dates and time of every conversation you have had with these people and take it to a lawyer. Dude i know any of them would jump on the opportunity of working with you on this case. Again man i know its your car and all but keep your cool. Believe it or not this whole issue is effecting your whole life, including your family and if you have kids as well, man they can pick that up and its not a good look at all. Its not worth it man. Get a lawyer, and take a seat back and see how they react. Again man, good luck and let us know if we can help out in any way!

tjlazer 04-30-2012 06:01 PM

I have had issues like this with car repairs in the past. A lot of body shops don't give a cr@p and just want to get the work done asap and get their check. Make them fix every issue and if they don't contact your insurance company and they may allow you to take it elsewhere to get it fixed. That's what I did with GEICO years ago and it was all fixed for free.

There so much more I don't even know where to start! Nissan service manager was very surprised how shady job looks like..

Cmike2780 04-30-2012 06:15 PM

That's just a lazy repair job. These guys don't know or don't really care at this point. Get your insurance involved again and see if you can take it to another shop.
