Clutch Problem!! continued

["Phillip Detering" <beamer325i@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been thinking for the last several hours on weather to type this email 
or not and over the last several hours I have decided I have to, to warn 
other unsuspecting decent honest citizens. I live in central washington,  
because of money restraints I decided to take my
1986 325e to Maaco in Wenatchee to be painted. Their staff was eager adn 
curteous to help me and answer all my questions about colors. One staff 
member went over my car with me and we found what we though were the only 
two dents on the car and marked them to be fixxed and I was charged 
according to the size and time it took to pull them. When I first dropped 
the car off they said it would be ready within 5 busniess days. but it was 
an entire week before I was told to come in and pick the car up, When I went 
in to pick it up the manager decided the paint looked wrong and decided to 
have someone reshoot the car. As we pulled up 20-30 feet from the car both 
my Dad and I noticed a large dent(1/4" deep X 2" long) below the rubber 
molding on the driver side door, . I came back the next day in early on my 
way to work and picked the car up. It wasn't till later that afternoon that 
I got a chance to really look over the car and noticed a spot below the 
grill where they taped over and left the old paint showing, fingerprints 
next to the windshield wipers and the dent still there in the drivers side 
door, I couldn't get back to Maaco that day so I came in at 8am the next 
business day(monday). I showed the owner the dent and informed him that the 
dent was always there and that I just notice it now because the paint is 
fresh. Having washed my car for the past couple weeks I knew the dent had to 
be very recent. I told the owner that I was going straight to the bank to 
cancel my check if he wouldn't agree to fix the damage caused by his shop. 
Tuesday he called my house and wanted to know when I could bring the car in 
so that he could fix the problems. I brought the car in first thing tuesday 
and when I returned to pick my car up I realised that only the places where 
he over taped where fixxed and my car was blocked in the lot. I was told 
that my check was returned due to insufficient funds even though I had the 
paper work on the stop payment order on the check. THe owner said I needed 
to go to my bank and get cash if I wanted my car I told him to fuck off and 
fix the dent or I wasn't paying him, but in the end he had my car. Being 
late in the day I didnt have time to get somebody to drive me the bank and 
back before they were closed so I had to catch a bus in first thign the next 
morning. I gave my hard earned cash to overly cheery lady who just yesterday 
had all but told 3 grown men to kick my ass if I touched my own car. A 
couple miles down the road I noticed a strange whirring sound when ever I 
press in the clutch slightly gaining sound as you press the clutch farther. 
Since yesterday I have drove the car 40 miles and the sound is worse, today 
when I got home I checked my oil level since that warning light was on and I 
found I was almost completely out of oil. I added 4 quarts to bring it up to 
a  normal level. You can think waht you want about this post,I know I wont 
be able to ever prove that Maaco its owner or any employees are responsible 
for the sudden problems with my car. Theres no doubt in my mind that they 
did in fact commit criminal intent and something should happen. I doubt the 
police will do anythign about it because its would be near impossible to 
prove without witness, but the internet, the BBB and the Washington state 
department of commerce are being contacted and I hope no other cars will 
have to suffer because grown men take offense and behave like children.

Phillip
