I let them take all the time they need to get it right. I had one rush, and I could tell what part he did last because it was sloppy. It all had to be redone.

He's not working on it for 3 full days (you can tell by what they charge) so ask him what the extra time is needed for. My similar job was done while I waited, told me to come back if I wasn't happy with any of the edges. I could possibly see letting it sit overnight but not following what more days helps.

You either trust your guy or you don't. If not find somewhere else.

If they are a busy shop doing high end work, i don't see a problem.
1 day shops, i'd be weary to see if they do good prep, good results, or are they churning thru cars rapidly with sub par work?

What's more important to you? quick but not so good work, or a better job with more time taken.

Not long ago, I had my bumper, grille, and headlights done in XPEL. Dropped car off in the morn, picked it up at end of day. Reputable O.C. shop with 4-5 installers. When I picked up the car, owner said he did the install himself. Good work.

Three days for requested work appears to be above average wait times.

This. Plenty of shops can do a 1 day turn around if they have sufficient staff working on the car. Tons of awesome, reputable shops do it all the time.
