So, you got him a used hood (same color?) ---- I pay $150.00 to get small dents taken out .. wholesale! (paintless)
That fender required more work .. just the fender -- and he did all the other work?
When a hood get hit like that -- especially the Jaguar with all the alignment points up front -- it becomes very difficult to get it set without replacing most of the front subassembly. Everything gets bent -- all the lights and hinge points. The fact they you needed new latches tells me stuff was bent.

That was really minor damage, for 700 beans + hood it should look oem when their done - that place is criminal - if you paid by credit card then file a dispute for the entire amount claiming they returned a car without doing the work.

I could not get the fender fixed for $800 .. repainting a bumper with RR in NYC is more.

If you are in my neck of the woods I can refer you to a bunch of places with those kind of rates...

Yup, I went to him last Thursday and he said he will fix it Monday (today) so I said alrighty. BUT last night I recived a phone call from him saying he will not do the work because the way I talked to him and I showed him every nook and cranny and how the hood is not adjusted and he also said that " I did my job " and " I am not working on this car again ".

What was the condition of the used hood? -- they are typically not perfect.
Getting those headlights and hood to align is not a bolt together proposition.
I'm glad I don't have to work with you guys -- You paid for a couple hours of labor on top of a couple of paint work. At $800 dollars the guy is already underwater.

He said cash only, doesn't accept credit cards....
