I had a scratch on my door and front bumper that I had repaired and I hired them for a paint job.
They showed up on my driveway, claiming they are professionals and care for the good work. Then they spray painted the panels. It was obvious right there the paint was not a match and they claimed that in a week, after it dries, and after I buff it out, it will get better.
Well, it didn’t. The car is black-ish, the panels they painted were silver-ish. Doesn’t get worse than that.
The guys told me they’ll fix it and I should bring it to their shop. I drove there ready to leave the car so they can fix it, and it turned out there are two level of quality work they do:
Paint matches;
Paint doesn’t match;
You can imagine my surprise when I learned that I got the #2 job.
Also, it turned out that if I wanted the premium #1 job, I need to pay more.
When I refused, insisting that I already payed for a paint job, and #2 is not really a paint job, the guys tried to convince me that is was absolutely normal the paint not to match. You see, all cars on the roads that have gone through a repair have mismatch paint.
I explained that I wanted to sell the car, and this is completely unacceptable. Then, they tried to convince me that I should tell the buyer that it is normal the paint to fade out (and I guess get more silver?). Complete joke.
After 10 min deliberation, and them asking me more money, I agreed. I’ll give them more money.
At this point, they wanted the money upfront. Insisted in fact, because they needed to pay for the paint. I was ok paying but after I see it completed, and they refused. I needed to pay upfront and hope it will turn out well.
It was my mistake accepting the job the first time around of course. I took the loss and got out of there. They are just crooks trying to mooch out more money.

These guys are a joke. Complete phonies. Crooks.
