Sadly 1 star, because there isnt 0.First off, I would like to start by saying that I have experience and even a few years of schooling for collision repair. When I found this shop, I was very happy to find a place that could paint something for fairly cheap. He quoted me 500 to paint the car (if I prep everything myself). This is what I wanted to do, as I can do prep work, but cant paint the car; because I dont have access to a paint both. I have painted cars professionally in a booth before though, and familiar with the process/prices.After prepping the car (over 12 hours sanding and body work) I was super excited to see how the car would turn out after paint. To my surprise, when I went to pick it up; they tried charging me almost double ($900)!They rolled it off saying it was a typo in our messages. (Screenshots below showing their original quote) Taner then tried explaining to me that it was an $1800 dollar paint job. (They day before he said normal pricing is $1500)After arguing over the price I agreed to split the difference with him, so I would pay an extra $200, and he would loose $200. Making the total $700, instead of the agreed upon $500.He insured me I would be happy with the paint job and it would be professional quality, and is a steal of a deal for me; and an amazing paint job. After picking up the car, I was very, very sad to see SOO many problems with the quality of work....-Drips (in 2 different spots)-Missed spots completely (had a black bumper painting white, was still black)-Overspray/Poor Masking (which is minor, but it was on every seal and all windows, Im glad I removed the tail lights and head lights!)-Missed edges by windows completely, no paint or clear coat-Orange Peel on a lot of the car, and worse on rear bumper and side mirror caps.-Debris and dirt in paint (especially in the rear bumper and side mirror caps)Literally everything that can possibly be wrong in a paint job was, I wouldnt be surprised to see paint chipping and flaking off in a year.I confronted Taner regarding this issue with the paint, and he gave me these excuses for each problem....Overspray/Poor Masking - He said it happens when you paint a car, and I was rushed to get it done for you. But it should clean off easilyDrips - He said Im happy for fix any drip spots for free, I will cover these However, after the previous work and lieing at the shop, I was not going to involve them again.Missed Spots - He didnt respond to this at allDebris/Dirt - He said the paint booth was old, and he tried to tack it to keep it clean and not sure why it got so dirty When I got it back home, I found white paint from when I sanded and prepped it still in the cracks... he didnt wash and clean the car at all before doing it. So it is no surprise to me there was contaminants in the paint.Orange Peel - He said I tried to match the factory texture, however I own another Scion and this was nowhere near close.On top of all of this, I was very upset when he finally starts bashing on the car saying that it is not a show car and what would you expect for such a cheap paint job. If you’re going to do something, do it correct, and have pride in the work you do. You can tell he was doing this for the money, and every step of the way proved that to me. I have included pictures of the poor paint job, I have also included screenshots of our entire messages including original quotes, and arguing about pricing, and his excuses for the poor paint.If you are considering going here for a cheap/quick/crappy paint job. I would recommend simply going to Macco instead; they are the same price. But you can take it back and make them fix things. This company was Ghetto, and does not do quality work at all.... great for a car your selling or maybe a track only car. But if you want any sort of good quality work, you are better off somewhere else.
Hes done it again!
I got an awesome car at a great deal. And since I bought it Taner has always been super helpful with any repairs/maintenance the car requires. Great deals & service.
Got my motorcycle gas tank and frame painted here. Fair price and great work. I changed my mind about the color halfway through the job and these guys were way understanding about it and worked with me. Definitely taking my next project to these guys.
In a world where its hard to trust a used car dealer these guy stand out. Ive bought 3 cars from them for my business and I have yet to have any major issues.
Great shop, great people, great work. Definitely will be taking my car back when needed.
Had my Kia painted here. Fair prices for an awesome quality of work. Will be back!
Great quality work. They really care about the customers.
