The paint started peeling almost immediately after. Jorge had told me to be careful with my bumper valance since it wasn’t sturdy itself and the paint could lift off. So I took extra care in not manipulating the valance and let it cure an extra day before I went to install it on my car. Using painters tape to hold the valance up it lifted the paint upon removal of the tape. I was also over charged. I was given the invoice and the for a total of $400. I had missed a call from and the only voicemail I had received was a 2 second clip of static so I called back and was then told that my valance was ready for pickup. I met with Jorge again so that I could pay my balance. I pulled my card out to pay and he said “oh there’s a 4% charge on all card transactions” and I said okay that’s fine at which point a nice lady that was there asked him “Did you tell him that before he came here” to which his response was no and she then informed him that he couldnt charge me the fee for not informing me of the charge. At 4% I would’ve been okay paying the extra $16. Jorge proceeded to charge me, I paid with my card he gave me my receipt and it wasn’t until I got home I saw that Jorge not only over charge me but it wasn’t even the 4%. He charged me $450. I am very disappointed in the way business was conducted.

I unfortunately spend too much time at the auto body shop but when the question is presented “where do you want me to take your vehicle?” My answer is always Fosters.
