Do you how they went about doing the repair? Did they remove the wheels from the car? Dismount the tires? A friend of mine works at a local dealership and has told me horror stories about cars coming back with over-spray on the rotors, calipers, lugs and even the paint due to the repair outfit doing the repair with the wheel still attached to the car. This is mainly what I am trying to avoid.
they took the wheels off but didnt have to take the tires off, they just covered them while they worked. They look good but I would ask them to paint all four so they match perfect. Mine are a tad off so I will go back and ask them to paint the front too.
