<<I-Car trained? an I-Car-trained panel/paint outfit did a real cowboy job on
our diesel Corolla, and as a result it's rusting badly. The filler job is
extremely uneven, the paint is coming back off , the trunklid they supplied
was cracked around the hinges, the springs won't hold it open and you can
slip your hand in between the seal and the lid when shut! Castle Street
Panelbeaters, who have on the outside wall painted "WE CARE!"

Unfortunately as Andrew points out, there are no guarantees a shop is doing
quality work.  Ask to see a copy of their written warranty, some offer
lifetime on paint & labor as long as you own the car. Ask for a tour of the
shop to see their work in progress.  Check around, there are good shops out
there.
