Paint shop scam

[blueshark123]

Well my mom has a crv that was hit real light in the quarterpanel so we took it to a professional auto bodyshop that those work on classics and top of the line work so i tought. Well they charged her 400 to fix the damage and it was ready in a day to pick up.

So when my dad took it home i got to check it out but they did a half ass job on it. they over sprayed the black plastic bumper and the tailight some bit. So I had to make my father take the car back cause he doesnt like to argue with people lol. So when they picked it up on friday it looked fine after they cleaned it up.and even but some shiny spray over it so it looked fine at first.

But when I went to go check it out yesterday i saw that it looked like ass and that they put black fuckin maker over the parts they oversprayed on the rear bumper and he even markered some of the quarter panel . So i finally decided to go to the shop today and the guy started telling me off and theres nuttin he could do and that he didnt paint anything with markers. SO i started telling him off and that i want this shit fixed now and he began to threaten me that he will hit me cause i was still in his shop. I was telling him that i wish he would hit me. I noticed we werent goin nowhere so i just left. Now what can i do about this situation Thanks in advance

^^ is the body shop in JC?? if so i think i know who you are talkin bout they did that too me too


Was it through insurance??

if so you can complaint to them thats what i did and they disputed it and gave me all the money it cost for repairs to take it elsewhere .

[widegts]

ya that sucks man, I paint too, I used to do some shady shit, and learned it isnt worth it.

IF YOU HAVE any questions of what to look for, pm me, ill let u know where to look, because a lot of these shops (bodyshops i mean) do shortcuts that affect drivability and other things

its not how the shop looks, its the work they do. I learned the hard way to realize that...

"Peoples Court" See you on TV!



Though a Clean shop is more presentable and would make a customer think that they're more organized...as you said though, not always true.

Go back and tell them,
You: So your going to hit me.
BodyFuckenDeuciBaggy: Yeah, Leave my shop.
You: Do it
BodyFuckenDeuciBaggy: Ok.

And soon as he goes for the punch. Grab that big knife you call Daddy, And stab him in the fucken Neck. And then just walk out. I say its a clean deal If you ask me.

I work for an insurance company and deal with body shops on a daily basis. I would always recommend insurance approved repair facilities as there's a lifetime warranty on it even if you don't go through insurance. Report to BBB or BAR if it's worth the hassle to you. Some shops will say they'll do this and that, but never actually perform the work. I hate shady body shops. As a recommendation in choosing body shops, always pick one with a clean looking quality paint booth.

So are u saying i can report it to my car insurance but will that raise my coverage ?

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

go to the bbb. Place a small claims lawsuit and TAKE PICTURES!!!! Threaten him at the wallet and he'll crumble.

You should have let him hit you. You could have changed the name to the Zilvia.net bodyshop!!!!

i took my front bumper to earl shieb when i had my sentra. the didnt mask off the bottom grill, or under the car. got overspray on the fenders, tires and some of the rims. so my whole underside was silver, my ac condenser was silver, and even some paint got on the steering wheel. man that was a hack job

[blueshark123]

im placing a claim on bbb and im gonna just fix the shitty job myself i guess after i visit them again. And I know if i would of took it to macco they would to a shitty job but i took it to a job that supposedly charges over $30,000 for a paint job i would get a good job done i guess not.

You get what you pay for.

Naw, Take it to another shop and have them "fix" the mistakes. With there estimate being clear what was done wrong. Take pictures before and after.

Take the shitty shop a copy of the new bill and ask them to pay up or you will see them in court.

If you take it to a decent, well known(BBB and Insurance Providers List) place to fix it you should have no problem in court.

To late to take it to the insurance.

S14DB - so your saying, if I take my car to 1day paint, and they paint my windows and lights, I can fix it, and do it right, and take 1day to court for that? Curious, since man I HAVE ALOT of customers asking me about that, because most of my customers are 1day paint victims.

Yea i paid for a good job and got a shitty one in return i could of got the damage fixed for 90$ but didnt want to do that cause i wanted to be sure i got a good job done so ur theory fails right now

[!Zar!]

pppppssssssssccccccccchhhhhhhh

talk to the hand cause the face aint listening

[widegts]

hahah, o no he didnt!

[yurisfriendevan]

ok heres what you really need to do. find their paint dump, usually a 30 or 55 gallon drum they put their extra paint in, tip it over, and light that shit on fire!! with all the solvents it takes to make paint and the reducers they add in... that shit will burn, and it will burn hot....

LOL, Hahahahaha I dont know why but that is so funny. Its like your saying, "Help my customers try to rip me a new one." lol:tweak:

Yeah, documentation is the key. You have to show:
-The Estimate given buy the shop that made the mistake.
-Pictures of the mistakes. High res the better.
-Failure of the shop to repair mistakes or care.
-Estimates of shops(at least 3 IMHO) noting poor work and cost of repair.

Then go back to the shop and show copies of the estimate and ask them to ether make repairs or refund the amount the average of the other 3 shops want for the repair. Depending on state you usually can't ask for more then cost.

If they refuse.
-Sue them. File and see if they want to settle.
-If they don't. Then take your car to be repaired buy one of the quoted shops.
-Go to court. You will usually only get the amount you paid them back. Unless they did more damage painting then the area they were supposed to paint.

Im pretty sure even in a private home you cant just punch someone in the face, otherwise my sisters punk ass friend would have been jacked up years ago lol
