I live nearby and I've never heard of that shop. I'd think that ad was a joke if I saw it posted somewhere. Looks like a kid made it with ms paint.

Yeah i didn't see that ad till after but yeah lol . Getting your car painted there is like having the same three year old who did the flyer .

All the spots you see that have tape on them were problem areas. Not to mention a what you may not see is that the whole car is got all kinda dirt in the clear .

So yeah one more an i am done with this part of the story. I know thank god rite . So yeah I took the whole car apart so we could paint everything the same color . When I dropped the body off I told him I needs to be perfect didn't matter what the paint an body work were going run me cause I am building it from ground up . You would think to take out the dash inserts rite an the steering colum . Not this genius! But then agin look how he spells out suspension Oh well I learned my lesson. So because he did such a great job we had to strip the car twice an paint it two more times since he did such a great job . Thanks Chuy !!!!!

How much did he charge you? did you give him a chance to make it right?

When a business doesn't perform to the customers standards,his recourse is limited to making the customer happy..he cant go on an open forum and run his customer in the ground..

Yeah we gave him three strikes . The original price was 1800 then . I wanted more work so price went up . No big deal car has got to be rite . So I gave him more money even . This is before I knew he stolen an sold all the other parts I originally gave him . I even took another car two weeks after I sent him this one to paint . The more he said he did , the worse it got . Long story short . CHUY IS A CROOK ! After all is said an done an i had to replace all the stuff I had . So it came out to around 8500 bucks . Well more like 9800 to be honest cause we had to repaint it twice after he did his work .
