I'm guessing this is the top of your front shock that was mounted on the wrong side? So did you go around a corner and have it slip and slam into the edge of the mount bending it like that??? WOW, just WOW!

The deal was paid with CC but the lawyer says to let them get the money so they are really liable for the damages since they were paid for something that they did not do. so they broke the contract.

I'd get ready to go to court. Good luck.

They will never touch any of my cars again, the car is at the BMW dealership (Patrick BMW) to get it corrected.

Good luck to you! Hope you get monetarily compensated for everything.

Good luck.

Yep, I have to wait until they refuse the letter to pay the damages, my lawyer will send them in a few days.

FWIW, I did the install on my E36 M3 coilovers, adj camber plates, sway bars, etc... not having ever done any suspension work before, and although I've always been mechanically inclined, I've never had any formal training, just learning as I go.... I can't see how someone who is actually somewhat formally trained would fuck up a job that badly. Coilovers to the layman might be a tough job, but to someone who is familiar with the components and who has the right tools, it's a piece of cake. Are you sure they didn't just pass the job off to some bum off the streets? No way did any sort of professional mechanic do that.

At the BMW dealer they asked me if I was trying to do the job myself?!?!?!

I probably should had done, I m sure I would not do that bad in a million years.

Disgruntled employee?

FYI. The BBB is a joke IMO. Now if a company has a really horrible rating on the BBB then it is obvious to stay away. A gold rating however does not mean gold service. All that shines is not gold.

I am sticking with intentional by pissed off shop worker.

Maybe whom knows.

I hope they pay handsomely for this.
