Damn that sucks. Ive taken my car to a jiffylube-type place for state inspections in the past, but I always stand outside and watch what they're doing...always makes me nervous though.

Sorry to hear about your incident. I don't think I would ever go to a jiffy/ezlube after all the stories I have heard including this one.
Would it be cheaper to purchase a new bumper and paint it?

Well thats the trade off. My painter and I sat down and wrote out all the numbers. It's going to be just the same cost either way. However, if I want to get a bumper, we're looking at 8-10 week shipping time. If I just get it fixed, it will be sooner rather than later.

O austin huh. If you were closer I'd say pocket the money and let me fix it lol I could do that in my sleep. I'm glad they are making good though and be sure to post pics of it after.

Yeah, I was extremely happy with their work the first time. Don't want to take my chances elsewhere.

Jiffy Lube = Disaster

Go for the new bumper, painted just like the original. Do not let them off the hook.

I like wrecking my own ****. I dont give anyone else the opportunity. Good thing you got it sorted out though, stuff like this is always a royal pain and a half.
