its called "1st class autobody" ... it's in port moody ... we've sent cars there b4 ... but b4 it was a leassed car so maybe we didnt care as much ... either way, i'm not impessed and the lex wont be going back ... i saw how one of the guys was treating a bimmer that was there ... he totally threw it into park while the car was still rolling and theres no e-brake usage going on ...
if everything goes well, i'll have the car back this week (friday) ... if the bumper takes a long time to come ... then i'll get the car back next week ... having to drive anywhere makes me ill ... that crap *** courtessy smells like ... used inside ... and when u break omg ... the whole car shakes and it feels like the roters are seriously warped ... that thing causes death i tell ya

The End
IS300 is safely in my garage ... 1st Class Autobody did an excellent job, the paint matches flawlessly and they even detailed the inside.
I still dont like that i had to drive around in the worst excuse for a car ever, but the job they did on the Lex is well 1st class.
