Beware of mouthy auto parts guys, they know everything. You need someone to say how good the Advance worker is at painting. It sounds like the Advance worker is telling you how good the body shop guy is. Be careful with that insurance check, people want it already.

Great news Jai, happy for you. Yes you should start a new thread, this one is loooooong. Look for "Forums" on the left side under "Navigation" click Forums, then click "1st generation", then you'll see "Subforums". Click the one that pertains to your query then you'll see 'Start new Topic" towards the top on the far right. That's it. You do know the trick for getting to the last post, right? Under the last poster's username there's the day and time, click on that and it'll send you right to the end. It took me a year on here before I figured that out.

Lifetime guarantee? Caveat emptor

Yes, the battery was limping along, low in whatever they call it when they test it. So since I had just gotten a payment on the old truck I had, I went ahead and got a new battery. Preventative, so I would not get stuck out somewhere, who knows where. Yikes, the price of batteries have really gone up since I last bought one. AND........ I met a man at Advance Auto, who does paint and body work. He is going to fix the big dent in RedBird, plus the long skinny along the bottom of the door, plus about 10 little tiny bubble rust starts, and 2 larger, for under what the body shop was going to charge for the big dent only. This is great! I hated to have the door painted at the body shop without the long scrape fixed. They wanted $650 for that long scrape alone. This new man has had training in the work he does, plus over 5 years of actual hands on work daily, doing this. Then weekends doing cars like RB. The Advance man was saying that he has known him for years, and knows the good work he does. Also, I get a lifetime guarantee with it. Sounds good to me! Jai

PA cars aren't a little rusty. They're a little metal-ly. Chuck
