2. A perfect repair apparently is a total accident and a rare thing, indeed.
3. It does not matter who is paying, they must satisfy you and do not accept it until they do. HUGE PITA for you, but probably worth it over the long term.
4. After an incident like this, the car has lost its virginity and will NEVER be the same to you.
Good luck in the future. Start looking for a new one. Life is just too short to live with disappointment.

While I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with perfectionist expectations, I don't quite understand the looking for a new one comment...
