Default i hate incompetence

so i took my bumper the to a local body shop to get painted and i requested that they fill in the holes where the plastic camaro grill goes, they said not a problem and they would charge my an extra 100 dollars to do that.

i also told them i needed it done by today! and they said it should be done yesterday

so i went there about 5 minutes ago and first my bumper is still not dry (he said maybe in a few hours)
but they also only filled the holes on the bottom and the sides AND LEFT THE TOP ONES.
so now i have a bumper that has holes in it but i can not put the grill on

so im ******* **** and really i dont know what to do

should i tell the guy im not paying for filling the holes (since he only did half)????

i need some advice

Yea it's a pretty simple solution. Just calmly tell him that you aren't happy with how it came out and that you wanted all the holes filled. Then let us know what happens from there. If he's a good businessman he'll apologize and redo it.

I wouldn't pay him the extra $100, since he didn't do what he was supposed to do.

so what does he want you to do with it over the weekend? beat off to it and forget to bring it back?

i would have left it with him so he can't say you accepted it. keep us updated.
