Got a surprise call that the car was ready for pickup today. Stopped at the shop and traded my rental for Olivia. She's now safe and sound at home.
A couple of photos of the repair area and the final bill are below. Contact was the left rear taillight. The car was repainted from the rear of the door back. They also fixed a scrub mark on the front bumper cover and realigned it for me, no extra cost. Unfortunately, they did not touch up the hood, too many spots.
Besides the obvious parts, also got new muffler and pipes and tool tray.
I also got a new battery. They think there was a short in the taillight that kept draining it, then it wouldn't hold a charge. Bonus points.
Anyway, looks pretty good for a 197K mile car, I think.
As a first weekend back drive, I'm driving her to the
Atlanta Auto Show tomorrow. I only go once every few years as the show is more minor league than you think it would be for being in Atlanta, but I have free tickets as a Chevy "
Truck Legend" owner.
