Repair/Service: Replace bumper and headlight, minor repair on hood and fender

Hourly Rate: $100

Total Cost: $5700

Steer clear if you want a good repair - sloppy repair work done here.

BMW of Bloomfield uses this repair shop for their collision repairs. They sent it back to my dealership 3 times where the repair work was subpar - even with paint that wasn't dry yet. All I had was a fender-bender and it has been about a month. Still not resolved.

I brought in my car for:

- BMW 650i convertible
- Replace bumper, and a light
- Some repairwork on engine hood
- Minor repairwork on fendor

Issues I had so far (still not resolved for about a month):

- Hood which was supposed to be repaired was still bent (may have been a paint issue)
- Replacement light had condensation in it
- Bumper was put on wrong
- Paint was not dry when they tried to deliver it
- Paint lip on hood
- Blemishes where things hit the car when they delivered it with wet paint.
