Time to vent. Can somebody tell me why do body shops f***ing lie?

Really inthat case you can either.
1. Go ge the car - But since you've paid them half expectt hey won't give you a refund, or they will give you some stupid number for the labor thus far.
2. wait on the car and be patient.
3. go down there and make such a pain out of yourself that they get the car out of there to be rid of you.
3 will get the car back sooner, but you may loose a lot of quality as a result. So, you may have to make them aware that you will nit-pick it to death if they try to cut corners.

as for option 1, i'd say that unless there is some type of contract that you've signed, just take the car back and demand a refund for any money that you've paid in excess of what they've actually done to the car, and if they offer any resistance, threaten them with a lawyer (and actually follow through....don't bluff on this....). to me, it would seem illegal for them to keep money that's not owed to them, unless there was some type of written contract stating otherwise, that both parties agreed to ahead of time.
there seriously needs to be more accountability for scumbags that pull this kind of ****.....

yep, and once you get your car back (and possibly any money that's owed to you), be sure to let them know that you are going to steer away as much business away from them as you possibly can for treating you like they did

report them to the better business bureau, and actually consult it before you pick a body shop.
the BBB was pricess to me when picking a company to ship my car with... so many shipping companies had bad reputations on the BBB including the one that i got burnt with (which is what made me learn that lesson).
