HOLY HAIL

Hell Yeah!

 

Well, I'm not getting my Tundra back yet. My youngest boy pissed them off real good. Took 45 minutes going over the truck and gave them the list of whats not acceptable. They started getting a little testy. He basically said, you think I am being a dick? Wait until my Dad sees it. Then Momma Bear got wind of it and jumped in on it as well. The owner tried to say some stuff, she pulls out the pictures of what my truck used to look like and the insurance claim, shut him down right there. $18.3k in damages better be $18.3k in work done.

rain gutter rubber not seated in the tracks good
a chip in the front bumper, that was never there
fender flairs were all jacked up
no responses from the head unit
to name a few

 

It does! Knowing that they caught the deficiencies and called BS with the pictures and paperwork makes me think they will pay a little more attention to detail.

 

Glad your wife is willing to fight for you and your son just didnt accept what they did! that's bs! they better do the work!

 

It ain't over yet, my dad is going with them next time. He's where I get my personality from. I'd love to be there to see that.

 

i am hoping my daughter's learn when to do this....my oldest has me worried she is going to be walked on

 

My oldest is like his mother, it takes a little to get him spun up. My dad, my youngest and me, short circuit pretty quick.
She will learn, some people have the patience of saints. You just need to make sure she knows how to think for herself, so she doent get walked on.

 

working on that.....

 

Well I have an update, kind of! The night that I posted the last update I was a little irritated and called those chuckle heads. Basically told them the truck was almost perfect before the storm, it better be perfect when they think its ready again. I also mentioned that I would get my insurance company involved if they tried to pull any more shit with my wife and boys. They called her Thursday evening to ask or more time on the Tundra and were very nice this time. The boys Tacoma was dropped off to be reworked as well. 3 weeks it'll take for his truck. To be continued...

 

Might have something late next week.

 

Hopefully everything will be up to snuff before next hail event...
On a lighter note..It must really blow not being able to be there to "deal" with things yourself. @COMiamiFan has see-gars and beer waiting...one of my bucket list items. I'm easy.

 

I'm down, I just need to get home first.

 

Is your truck ready to be picked up?

 

When it is we should "check it out"......

 

Nope, maybe next week.

 

I’m ready when it is

 

UPDATE: I spoke with Mi Reina, the other night. The body shop is now saying Dec 10th. My Dad will be there with her this time. I would love to be a fly on the wall for that one. My parents love her more than me! True story they both threatened me with bodily harm if I ever did anything to mess it up.

 

Told you I could save your family the hassle and I'll go get it for ya.

 

And the MFing saga continues! I get to look at the truck in direct sunlight. I freaking flipped out. It looked like waves on the ocean. They didnt replace 2 doors like they were supposed to, I found 2 paint runs, they didnt fix my Snugtop. So after and hour of f'ing this and f'ing that. This simple minded meely mouthed, excuse making, appendage sucking fool still trys to patronize me!!
I called the insurance company from his office, 2 doors will be purchased, a new Snugtop and complete new bed. And the kicker, no f'ing Tundra!
All of you local guys, DO NOT TAKE YOU VEHICLES TO WILLIAMS PAINT AND BODY.
Can I have my old name back now? Please!
Thank you for letting me vent. My boy recorded this by the way. It's kind of funny, now.

 

Sorry to hear Pat. That sucks.

I already let @T-Rex266 that your name can be changed back

 

That sucks Pat. I am expecting to go through this as well with mine. I have the worst luck with stuff like this. I hope insurances steps in and corrects everything in a timely manner.

 

Thanks, Jose. Man I was all excited. I was going to put my RCI boards on this weekend, then have my new lift put on, next week. On the way home, my boy tells me, Dad I never heard the f word conjugated so many different ways. I had to laugh at that.

 

My insurance didnt bat an eye. They said, if it's not like the way it was before that they would make sure it was. Make sure you inspect the heck out of it. In the sun and shade at all angles. Dont pay them until you are 100% happy with it.

 

You don't fuck with a man's truck. Ever!
What a bunch of losers at that place.

 

I'm beginning to think that they were trying to do stuff to make profit, I just can't prove it yet. I am going through the claim in the morning to see if I can find anything.

 

Well this just sucks, sorry to hear this Pat.

 

Thanks, Denise. Nothing a little Graham Cracker Porter and Planes, Trains and Automobiles can't fix.

 

My brother is a bodyman, he will tell ya it's his art. I have seen him just hang his head in disbelief of what some shops try to pass off. Enjoy that drink you deserve it !
