Air-condition fixed, passenger door tore off!
Took my 91 Vert in to have the programmer that runs the electronic air replaced.Mechanic moved Vert with passenger door open and crunch, $3010 damage. Needless to say I am not a happy camper. Thank goodness the artic white paint is perfect and color match is said to be easy. They are going to re- clear coat the entire car.

I assume they've assured you that they'll fix it or you wouldn't seem so calm. I'd be ready to inflict bodily harm. Tell the mechanic to lay off the wacky-weed while he's working!

If he's genuinely kicking himself over it, and is making it right, then I would consider going back. If it seems like it was due to stupidity/incompetence and is common practice there, rather than just a brain fart, then go elsewhere.
