Default Silicon Valley Auto Body in Sunnyvale,CA

I dropped off my car there to repaint the front and back of my car. Just finished today. Found out that the airbag light stays on now. How can they screw around with the mechanics? They replaced the front bumper and took apart the hood and the trunk lid/bumper but that shouldn't do anything.

They told me to drive with it on over the weekend and see if the light goes away. I'm pretty sure it's not gonna go away. Hopefully they'll fix it but why does these things always happen to me. You take it in to fix something and something else breaks afterward.

The airbag sensors are in the front of the car by the mounts for the bumper. It might have something to do with that. Just a wild guess.

How is there work? I want to get my Camry painted black. Something like a stock paint job.

What panels did you paint exactly and how much did you pay? Is there a price for a complete repaint? What kind of quality do they have? Is the paint flawless?

Here's the lowdown,

My insurance paid for it. They painted the hood, two front fenders, replaced/paint the front bumper, painted the trunk lid, two back panels, and blended to the rear bumper. I wish they painted the whole rear bumper. The price was around 3.5K. Would have cost near 5K for a whole repaint.

They are not top notch in quality. I would give them an average rating. I was in a rush to get it fix so I chose this place. I wouldn't go back there again. I'm satisfied with the work but I expected more.
