One month and car is still in the repair shop.

gsxrpaul · 08-18-2005, 11:24 AM

Damn I just want my car back. Parts just came in today after having been ordered almost a month ago. Shop says it is gonna take another week or two because there is another E90 that came in just before mine with pretty much the same damage. Going crazy over here. I just hope with all the time they are taking they do the job right.

Details? What happened to your car? Mine was rear ended when it was only five days old, and was in the shop over a month. I feel your pain bro!!

Basically a front end collision. Shop estimated repairs at approx. 13k. Accident happened on 7/16. Driving around in this POS Chevy Cavalier is driving me crazy.

Why so long for parts ?

We can get part from germany within 2 days, and all normal accident parts are in stock in the country

Shop basically said the parts were on backorder when they ordered them through my dealer. Don't know if they were lying or not, but they seem to be the best repair shop around, so I stayed with them.

That really sucks!!!

I hate waiting for cars to get fixed and body shops never seem to be able to just get the job done and get you out the door... How long had you had the car before this happened? I wish you the best of luck and a speedy repair!

It was exactly one month to the day of the accident. What sucks is I barely had 2 1/2 weeks worth of driving cause I was on my honeymoon right after I got it.
