I work for a major manufacturer in the auto industry, and I've seen some beautiful pieces of work, and horrid ones too. I hve to agree with lgman:

It's what the customers want. Not the shop, unless the work requested will make the vehicle unsafe to operate. I know this shop. Their work is actually pretty decent.

I know that sales manager - he's dedicated to the work, and I often see him still there at midnight, putting on finishing touches. So if you guys don't know the business or who runs it, don't talk shit.

I saw that benz in the shop when it was being worked on. I admit, that I'm not a fan of the gold trim, but the colour is quite neat. It gives a feeling of brushed stainless steel, but with a blackened colour. Personally, I'd prefer just having ONLY that colour on the car.

But at the end of the day, it's what THE CUSTOMER wants, regardless of how good/bad it may look in our eyes.

To bash the shop that performed a PAID SERVICE from a customer REQUEST, is immature, and comes to show how little about the business world, regardless of auto or not, these people really are.

If you don't like the car. Voice your opinion. But it's not the shop's fault the owner's got no taste.....
