| - I've been looking to have one of my vehicles repainted due to damage from the sun. I did some research on these guys and figured I'd give them a shot. As always, when something / someone advertises something significantly cheaper than everywhere else, I'm a little bit skeptical, so I went down with some motorcycle fairings that needed to be painted to give them a "trial run".
My first experience was with the younger Tim and he was helpful. Then, his old man came out and things went for a complete turn. He told me I was looking at about $150 for a motorcycle tail because they have a $100 minimum and the paint was expensive. Funny thing is, I was about to tell them to go ahead and do it, but older Tim couldn't keep his mouth shut and started telling me how it wasn't really worth their time and they are "slammed" and it didn't make sense to shut down the line of "thousands of dollars worth of work" just to do this and that maybe I should try Maaco down the street. (Which is understandable, but it probably wasn't the best way to make his point and not to mention he was a bit rude about it. Even his son seemed a little bit embarrassed.) Imagine dealing with that, especially if there was an issue or something.
Well, as they say, "speak with your wallet". At least I know where NOT to get my car repainted. Maybe I just caught Tim Sr. on a bad day.
On a brighter note, his son (The younger Tim) is very nice.
