Default A body shop detail

you guys didn't see the pigtails that were on the hood and pillar covered with glaze. the last couple of months have been very bad for me,,, losing a sister, someone hitting my car, now this. Phil at DD kept the car an extra day when he found the pigtails. i'm being tested,,, don't know why? i'm a straight up dude taking care of his family. i'll pass the test,,, i always do. this is the body shop that did the work on my back bumper. all brand new parts, fix it, polish bumper and that's it. not only did he fail at polishing the bumper,,, he went on and polished the whole car. "WHY", when all he had to do was polish the bumper???

I can sort of relate to your stress regarding all the test fate sends our way. I know that we will overcome it and it will make us a stronger person in the long run. hang in there.
