So, I decide to take my car to the local car wash Saturday morning - fateful decision, as you can see.
I'm sitting outside teh end of the wash waiting for the dudes to towel-dry the car, when suddenly <BOOM>, my beloved S-line gets punted from behind by a Ford F250 pick-em up!
WTF????????
I get out to survey the damage, and there's NOBODY in the truck! It had rolled out of the wash, and into my car because there was no one to jump in it when it was through. Apparently, the "stopper" bump that's supposed to prevent this kind of thing isn't big enough to stop an F250. The front license plate, frame and screws did all the scraping - hitting just where it could hurt the most.
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I know, it's not THAT bad, but I HATE that I have to have the bumper re-painted to fix it.
Anyway, I know about how great Neat Street is, but that is heck and gone from my house, so I hoped someone could suggest some place a little more convenient.
TIA.
Oh, and happy Monday..... :-P

that's exactly who I suspected...
we went there once and saw a huge nest of cockroaches in one of the ceiling corners. HUGE...
we found Fast Eddies on Northwest Highway in Barrington to be quite professional for a quick in and out 20 minute wash.

Autohaus on Edens in Northfield. They do FABULOUS work!! My daughter's B5 A4 had $10,000.
in hail damage. Autohaus did the work and you still can't tell that it was a repaint.
Besides that they did a PERFECT job on my front bumper on my Nogaro Blue B5 S4 when the towing company dropped it orff of the truck.
You're probably gonna want to talk to Lee.

Good luck.
