Yeah, blowing you off is crappy, and being fairly close you'd think a stop by wouldn't be much of an issue.

The car I mentioned was solid, just needed a respray. I'll learn to paint for that kind of coin. May even learn bodywork, I have a car that needs the back half and roof replaced, and who knows what else.

There is nothing as simple as suit up and paint a car that has no body work done to it. Do you know how many times I've heard "it's ready for paint" in my life? Nobody wants to put their name on someone else's **** work. I certainly don't. The days of "free estimates" are long gone. You want a detailed estimate of a repair that will take me 3 days to present to you only to have you freak out when you see the price? And you want me to do it for nothing? All while I have 10 cars already in line with an agreed price of $35k for the paint work with money in my pocket?

I guess you are confusing your personal experiences with a totally different situation. Once again the point here is a person doesn't know unless they personally see it. So that would leave you out as I am quite sure you didn't. I see detailed free estimates all the time at body shops everywhere...and they are a must for collision repairs and most especially for factory warranty paint defect repairs done by independent shops when a dealership doesn't have a paint shop. I actually have to use General motor's warranty paint claim policy and figure the estimate and then present it to a body shop and compare it with their estimate before a warranty paint claim repair can take place and be processed. This experience has nothing to do with you.
