I just went to Carubba yesterday and they are a joke. I also went to Schmidts and they seem to quote me 1300 and would fix other scratches on the car for free that weren’t effected in the fender bender.

Maybe the co. is, but my buddy is the head painter on nf blvd. He is awesome. Look at my hood if you want an example. Problem is when you are doing insurance production work i dont think they give the guys enough time to do a real awesome job.

Gabes on Sheridan is a fucking joke. You can have the best of every piece of equipment in the world but it doesn’t fucking matter if you can’t use it. They sent my truck there to paint and my doors are darker than the rest of my truck. Aero collision or kenmore collision are the best in the area hands down. You have to have a passion and good work ethic and those 2 are the best. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

The paint work is good, but the actual repair work is awful and the customer service is nonexistant.

If you want:  
misaligned trim pieces  
missing trim pieces  
unpainted parts of mirrors  
hack job wiring harness jobs that affect a/c function  
missing headlamp clips and bolts  
broken window motors  
rattly doors  
doors that have rust, but are caulked to hide it

head over to Carubba. 😕

Customer service is def. lacking. I sent CamaroJoe over there with his wifes car and they treated him like an asshole. He was rightfully pissed, and now i make no suggestions when it comes to paint shops.
