well, supposedly the alignment magically went back to straight, so I guess it did that all by itself, right?

......................... I'm taking it to get it aligned as soon as I can

edit: oh, and a week and a half later they haven't even started painting it.

Yeah, I agree. If they fixed it "magically" then take it out of there asap and get another reputable body shop to paint your car.

I had Merchants replacing some brake rotors once(not my TA). Drove it a mile and the caliper seized up ruining a new rotor and pad. They told me anything could have happened while I was driving it and that it was my fault. I told them they're full of **** and that they had better fix it before I take the caliper and..
Well you get the point.
People screw up all the time. So they should own up to it, fix it, and try not to repeat the screw up again..period.

Well I. Dunno the details of all of it, I'm still waiting for the job to get done. All I know is that the wheels were pointed like you see there and now they're straight....

update: well, the wheels arent exactly straight so i have to tow it (Progressive is covering that).... the paint shop didnt cover the inlet holes in the hood, so I have a nice layer of black dust all over my engine bay...

the Service Engine light was on and the motor now, mysteriously, revs up by itself after its been on for a minute or two and wont come down........................................
