Dude, you really have to proof read. Are you talking about the two bolts that fasten the bottom of the fenders? If that's the case and if you know for a fact that they weren't damaged before you went there then yeah, I'd be mad.

Are the fenders sticking out now? If it's really bad you need to talk to the shop that put it on the lift. If they're just bent a little you can try removing the screws and bend the tabs back - did it to myself on one side when I first got my car and wasn't watching when putting it on a lift for the first time.

Yep, that's the good thing about plastic fenders, you can bend them some before they get damaged. Like stated above, pull the screws and bend the metal mounting tab back. Then the plastic fender tab should screw right back into place.

But yeah, I'd be pissed. That's why I'd only let a select few shops ever put my car on a lift.
