Help me - dodgy bodywork repairs
Story so far...
Was planning on getting a new car so took my existing car (just 3 years old) to local repair outfit to have stone chips, minor bumper scuff and 2 tiny scratches on drivers side retouched and polished before selling.
On collecting the car I nearly wept. He has virtually re-sprayed the drivers side door and wing in mis-matching paint along with the front and rear bumper.
I took the car to the main dealers for a second opinion and their body shop guy just fell about - he asked me had I done it myself! The upshot is that it will cost £1000 to respray the bad areas and even then my car will not have the same value as before.
The garage who did this dont want to know. I sent him a letter by recorded delivery enclosing the main dealer report but no reply that was 3 weeks ago.
Any advice as to where to go now? I cant sell the car as I have been offered 3k below what its worth and I cant afford that drop. Nor can I afford the 1k for the respray.
