Start of week 4, no car- excuse of the day poll

Tomorrow is that start of Week Four for my car being in the shop to have two panels painted under insurance. After talking to all the principals involved, everyone is lying to me on some level. The shop blames insurance, insurance blames the shop, both are innocent angels that only want me to be happy.

So. What's the most likely excuse I'll hear tomorrow?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the body shop will tell you - "We've got it scheduled for Thursday" then you'll have to wait until the following Monday to pickup.

Sir, the paint we were going to use on your car mysteriously disappeared. It will be about another week.

# 12 the mailman bit the adjusters dog and he must take his dog to be checked for rabies so he will be unavailable for a week.

Should have gone to Colonial South in Dartmouth. They have an excellent service department.

Why not just take it to a shop in Virginia?
