    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unresolved
    I originally brought my 2016 *** ****** to Paintworx on 12/2021. I brought the vehicle to Paintworx after my truck was backed into while getting some maintenance work done. When I brought the vehicle to Paintworx, there was damage to the rear panel, rear bumper, and tailgate. Since Paintworx worked on my vehicle in 12/2021, there has been an issue on the alignment of the plastic on the bumper, alignment of quarter panel, paint blemish and chips. Within a couple months of the work performed, the paint started to peel on the passenger side section of the rear bumper. After multiple calls and emails, in 8/2022 was able to bring the truck back to address all the issues outstanding from 12/2021 and peeling paint. On 1/2/2023, I notified Paintworx the paint was peeling on the same section of the bumper for a second time. I left multiple messages and continued to receive communication that they weren’t willing to fix the paint again. During this time, I informed Jamie that the Paintworx website states they warranty their work and offer a loaner vehicle. I informed Jamie that if they weren’t willing to honor this, that I would be in contact with my attorney. On 3/10/ 2023, I received a call from Jaime stating the David, owner, was willing to do the needed work but no loaner would be provided. Appointment made to be dropped off on 4/11/2023. On 4/13/2023, I went to Paintworx to pick up my truck and upon inspection, I had concerns and addressed them with Jaime and their mechanic. Concerns included the plastic on bumper was misaligned worse than when I dropped it off, a new paint blemish and that a few screws weren’t fully secured. After pointing these items out, Jaime left to get David. David came out and demanded that I leave the property as they weren’t addressing these issues anymore and threatened to call the cops if I didn’t leave the property. As a customer that has brought several vehicles to them, I will not be returning, and these issues are unresolved.

    My vehicle went into this shop after reviewing their website and other reviews online. Three weeks after drop-off (after being told on the phone for 2 weeks that it would be done “that day”) I finally got the call that my vehicle was ready to be picked up. Once my car came around, the owner of the company handed me the keys and said “have a good day” and left. But there was still damage on the car. The owner said “well is this where the damage was? If not, it’s not our problem.” He denied that it was replaced and said he had to check the paperwork, While the owner was inside, I noticed that a piece of trim on my fender was falling off. When the owner came back he asked if anything else was wrong with the vehicle. I then showed him the fender and he said “not my problem, it wasn’t a part of the accident.” Even though the receipt for the work states that they were to remove the trim on both fenders of my vehicle. When this was shown to him, he stated that this didn’t occur. So they didn’t do the work that they billed insurance for, but also left the piece unattached. the owner of this garage then began arguing and raising his voice at me, telling me that it wasn’t his problem, that it must have happened previously, but I’m the only owner of the vehicle. For several minutes he continued to yell at me and fight with me about this, even though I kept telling him to please stop arguing with me, and I wanted to leave since he wouldn’t fix the broken pieces. My husband proceeds to call this shop to inquire why I was being yelled at and treated to poorly when they did a poor job on the vehicle, and the owner then told him that he wouldn’t fix anything done to a vehicle at his shop that wasn’t covered by insurance because then the money needs to come out of his pocket and that’s not fair. Once I got home, more things are broken also. Seek another shop, or you’ll be berated and yelled at until you leave, because he doesn’t want to pay for his own companies mistakes.
