So, i got my car fixed here about two years ago. Rear bumper damage. Insurance replaced it. Took about a week or so for the job. Good paint, horrible job. Bumper was slightly out of place, and they ordered an aftermarket part that wasn't the exact color of my car so they can save money. I go today to ask the owned Victor if he has a spare tire i can buy off him and ask him how much it would cost to paint my coupe. First things first, the guy doesn't know what he is talking about. He may know how to ""fix"" cars, but he doesn't know anything about them. I give him all the specifications of the type of rim or spare i need, and he doesn't know what to do with the information. Secondly, i ask him how much would it be to paint my car. He says people don't paint their cars now a days because it would be 4 to 5 thousand dollars. At this point i look at him and wonder if he's the owner or just some clueless idiot. Unless you are going to paint my car gold with panda fur, there is NO way anyone will pay 5 grand to paint a 2 door coupe black... This isn't the first time I've approached him about the ""painting"" job either. Sooo i take it they just don't want to paint cars. Even though it is in their business to do so. I would have taken 1,500 or even 2 grand for the type of paint i require. But 4 to 5 grand just to get people NOT to paint their cars is a whole new thing. They don't want my business? Fine, i'm SURE there are thousands of other body shops that would LOVE to get paid cash for a paint job. I honestly don't understand stupidity from people like this. Maybe he hasn't had any luck with his previous clientele, but to BS to an actual paying customer that is 100% serious about his investments, is suicide for their business. Don't go here. There are many other places where you will be treated better, get a better job done, and probably order the right parts for you. Oh, did i mention my rear bumper replacement all together was over 2 grand? My insurance referred me to this place and even though they paid most of it. Here is the alternative. I could of ordered the part myself, 300 bucks. And replaced it myself. With the rest of the money could have gotten the whole car painted. Don't go here. Don't waste your time.
