The wheel arch shouldn't have a crease and the gas door should sit flush. Someone got over zealous with the body filler.

I would go over the rest of the repairs/body work with a microscope when you get the car back. They admitted to not fixing the damaged quater panel. WTF? Chances are they probally cut corners somewhere else too.

They never touched that side of the car. I did mention the gas lid and the truck was not aligned properly. It will be fixed. At least i have peace of mind knowing i was right and wont have to stare at that ugly dent on the panel.

Hmm, that does seem a little iffy, but it's still a little difficult to tell by the photos.

If you're not happy with the work the shop probably could redo it though.

Did you get a copy of the estimate from your adjuster? The damage to the passenger side should have been addressed in the estimate. If they didn't do the work they were supposed to, I would contact your insurance company and document the issue.
