Do not use Herb Gordon's autobody - a dealership in Silver Spring MD - for autobody repair - same dealer I bought my MO from - which I've been happy with in other regards. I was rear-ended several months ago and finally got around to having the rear bumper cover replaced and repainted. After getting it back the first time they had put the paint on so heavy it had dripped - kind of like a wave - on the 2 corners - and then the sealant dripped and had drops on it - and the gap between the cover and the hatch/trunk was uneven. I took it back and complained and they redid it. This time the paint looks great but there are like 2 dimples - outward dimples - as though they tried pushing the bumper cover on against a bolt head. I didn't notice it at first until I brought it home and studied it. A typical person wouldn't notice sitting behind me at a traffic light but I do since it's my MO. And they kept it in the shop a week for both efforts. Tired of dealing with it. They do body work for Mercedes, Volvo, Nissan, couple of others so I thought for sure - even being a dealership - they'd do better. Of course a number of people have told me to take it back again (my wife says I'm making a big deal out of nothing) but to me, I don't want to take it back to a place that can't get it right - it's like asking a plumber to come back and fix something they didn't do right at your house - if they couldn't get it right to begin with they probably can't now. :3:
