I am trying to find a place in the area (East Bay) preferably to get my lower mouldings painted. Does anyone have a shop they would recommend? Price? Thanks...

Talk to Tony or Robert & tell them that Daryl sent you. 925-847-8789. BTW, they do all of the body work for Livermore Audi & many other dealers in the area.

inside the day after pick up. They try hard, and are great about working out any 'bugs' you think they might have missed. But they do stupid little things. I don't think they're going to be happy about having me back as a client next time around. I'm pretty anal about my car, and they have never seen anyone spend 45mins inspecting the car on pick-up. Heck- my payment was 100% 'good'- not '80%' good enough.

As to the little stupid things- i.e.
- left a loose bolt in the trunk so every time I close it you can hear it rattle.

- but my GPS coaster upside down

- broke the 'open trunk' button on the frame by the driver

- and my favorite- left a metal sanding pad in the rear fender which I had to yank via the air openings/valence in the rear.

My car has been there (Pleasanton location) all sorts of times for different things &amp; the car has been notihng less than perfect everytime. Granted, people make mistakes &amp; may overlook things.

With all of the volume they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they lapse from time to time. Sorry to hear about your experience.

overspray on other parts of the car

i know a really good place... they are kinda expensive, but they do quality work. email if interested.
