Default 3rd times a charm

i took my car into a ford dealer ship to get the bumper which was dented to get fixed. they said it would take three days so i came back when they told me too. i got there and check out the bumper and then was a dent that they painted over. i asked them to redo it which they did but when they got the second bumper it was dented on the other side and now im waiting for a third one to come. my question is has anybody else had this trouble/ is it the way ford makes them or is it the dealer being retarted

yeah they are im never useing this dealer ship again but it is close by and they work with my insurance company. and just if my earlier thread seemed confuusing they didnt paint over the dent in my old bumper they got a new one and the two they got have dents in them so hoppfully the third dosent. but whats funny is when i went to look at the car after they said they finished it the first time theyknew the dent was there cause when i brought it up to them they knew exactly where it was. and they tried to get away with it

The dealerships around here are very good. The one that installed my stripes did a perfect job. And I'm very nit-picky when it comes to my car.

I am going to be in the same boat monday.
They are a dealership but not a Ford dealership.
They also work hand in hand with the insurance company.
Some sort of Circle Of Dependability program.
Supposed to be warrantied for as long as I own the stang.
Nailed me hard and slid under me catching the muffler
and shoving it forward about 3 inches off the hangers
as well as bending it down. The Intermediate pipe from
the Y-Pipe to the muffler was bent down as well.
I will be looking for those dents you are talking about.
