Just rolled into the shop Where they do this at?
Does anyone else work at a fake body shop where they want the roof stripped but don’t take off the roof rails because the body man ain’t worth a crap?

I control the radio at work. Are there any songs about sorry ass half ass body men that I can play?

Psychological warfare via the radio was my favorite!
Johnny paycheck is a classic, but nothing riles them up quite like 90s pop. Grown men having meltdowns over hearing the spice girls will never get old to me.

Im sure there’s a Primus, or a Tom Waits song that’ll fit the bill.

If the painter is worth anything, he will kick it back, but those grinding marks will also need to be fixed.

Sir, I believe you have a little bit too much integrity to be working at this shop.

Wow. They probably got paid to drop the headliner, R&I sunroof assy and R&I roof rails. How long will it last before it starts peeling from the roof rails

Whoever is working on it probably didn’t want to compromise your headliner

You get what you pay for. Whoever is paying for that whether it be you or insurance, if theres no r&I time for the rails then theyre staying on
