This is my exact experience. Even friends of friends give you the same treatment. Collision shops enjoy having your car sitting around for ages as a conversation piece to draw customers in. Every trip I have ever made to the body shop has resulted in free winter storage while it languished in the corner of the shop collecting dust.
