It's kind of scary going into a shop these days you dont know what you will get, or how much its going to cost. I have a 97 Merc Sable, the rockers rusted out and I put slip on rockers on it. Just the sheet metal and re attached the plastic ground effect trim. I took it in for inspection and the guy acted like I was trying to pull one over on him. He said "the body is too far gone around the pinch welds" I said "I had a floor jack under it yesterday on the front corner lift point and had the whole side of the car lifted , both wheels off the ground on both sides, the floor and unibody are still solid..." he didnt want to hear it. Car runs fine but no state inspection sticker because the guy didnt want to work on it. Its like hey were in the rust belt and the car is safe c mon man...
