Do you think I did the right thing /o/? I feel like an asshole and I really liked that place and wanted to have more work done there, but I can't imagine I'd be very welcome anymore

sorry for blogposting, but the whole thing has me down.

he did it. those are stress cracks.
>>
The shop has garage keepers coverage for this reason. If you do have evidence you could file a claim against him, but Idk how taking money from him would play out.

Be a man and learn to hold your ground

>>14980478
he can just buy a black license plate thing on ebay. they can't be all that much
>>
>>14980484
what? dude paid him for what he damaged. how did he not hold his ground?
>>
>>14980484

I got the money didn't I

>>14980487

40 to 70 bucks is what I'm seeing, I had mentioned in the conversation that 40 dollars was the price I was seeing online, which is why he gave me 40.

Come home to realize oem is closer to 70, not really sure I wanted to go aftermarket as I feel like they wouldnt fit well.
>>
>took the money

That was a mistake. Take the $40 back with evidence that it wasn't there before it was in the shop. Make sure he gets that money back before you file a claim.

Are you 100% positive it wasn't there?
>>
Couldn't have replaced the part yourself?
>>
>>14980487
here you go OP, you made $2

>all these people that have never had/seen a C4
that's the fucking front license plate cover. easy to replace for $40
>>
>>14980499
>>14980500
> $40
>covers this damage
No, no you didnt. Shops have insurance for this reason. All you did was save him from having his premium go up
>>
>>14980519

I was hoping he'd just paint it to be honest.

>>14980506

That's the one I was lookin at

lol plastic bumpers

>>14980538
And the paint is going to match perfectly? No its not.
>>
>>14980463
Shit happens, OP. That said, a business you trust and does good work, whether it be a body shop, mechanic, muffler shop, whatever is rare. You said they did good work otherwise, they polished your wheels for you and they treated you good. Unless you're 100% sure they did it, I personally wouldn't have burned that bridge over a 70 dollar part. JMO
