It has been over 2 years, since my first experience with the shop. I had to return my vehicle to the shop several times within a year due to the service agreement contract not being met. In each time the vehicle was at the shop, I was told it would be in the shop for about 2.5 weeks. I believe my vehicle was dropped off at the shop about 4 times and spent a little over 10 weeks total in the shop when I add them together.<br>During those times, I would see my vehicle parked outside in the parking lot for several days untouched. I would call the office for any updates, only to be told it was "Currently being worked on in the shop". It was not what I had seen.<br>When the deadline approached, my vehicle was rushed through so attention to details were missed. For example: The service agreement stated all rusted metal will be cut out and new metal would be welded in. Some rusted areas were cut out and new metal welded in after I had returned my vehicle several times. To this day, there are still some rusted areas that were not replaced with new metal that I had pointed out in my initial "quote visit" (see rust image attached).<br>After the first I picked up my vehicle from the shop, the inside of the vehicle was very dusty from sanding and the steering wheel/stick shift had primer smeared on them (see dust image attached). It seems that no one cared to close the windows to keep the dust out of the vehicle and no one cleaned the inside before I picked up my vehicle. This is how the vehicle was returned to me. The customer service gave me a bad impression of how things were conducted by the shop.<br>I also received the vehicle in a different color than I had originally selected. I wanted a gun metal colored paint, the color I received was more in the purple field category. My wife also confirmed the color we had selected vs the color we received. This was pointed out to the shop. I eventually decided to keep the color after I was told I had to pay addition fees to correct the mistake.<br>The hood of my vehicle has developed cracks. I had another shop take a look at it, they reported back stating the paint was not mixed properly and did not stick. The hood also has a + 6 inch surface deformity, where you can see someone placed tape on the paint when it was fresh (see surface deformity image attached).<br>In the last service (1/2018), the windshield wipers were not positioned correctly so when I turned on the windshield wipers, the wipers scratched the paint of the hood (see windshield wiper image attachment). In this last service, the vehicle was repainted with a different colored paint, which I did not approve. I still have the email stating that I did not wish the paint to change.<br>After this last service, the shop office decided not to honor the 5 year warranty any more. The shop owner stated the shop had put in more than $5,000 out of their pocket into my vehicle. I believe that if things were done correctly the first time, then we would have not experienced these issues.<br>For example: The first time the vehicle was completed, the driver and passenger side doors had the imprint of someone's belly button because the paint was still fresh. The second time the vehicle was completed, the passenger side door had writing imprinted onto the paint. There was sanding markings on the panels, rust on the metal not removed, exterior body accessories not placed on correctly, red paint sprayed on the of several areas, etc. The third time the vehicle was completed, there were some scratches on the paint (see scratch image attached). The paint was running down in several locations of the vehicle which dried up. When the vehicle were repainted on several locations, the non-painted areas were not covered up so it left a mist over the finished surface. The newly installed windshield and back windows were not installed correctly so water leaked into the vehicle. There was primer smeared on the side of the truck (see primer image attached). Paint peeling off (see paint peeling image). No paint on the driver side door window section (see no paint image attached).

I have no idea how these guys are even still in business. I've tried to get the rust taken care of that was over my fender wells for almost a year with these guys and it just can't seem to get done right. After multiple trips back and forth, I'm finally throwing in the towel and and taking my unfinished truck somewhere else.<br>If you like headaches, wasting your money, wasting your time and feeling outraged, go to this place and they will take care of all those things for you.<br>If you value your vehicle, time and money, take your vehicle someplace else. Trust me. These guys wont get it right the first time, second time 3rd or 4th time. Just a plain out waste of time.

Harold and his team at Affordable Auto Body and Paint did a great job as you can see from the pictures posted with the 1984 Mustang. Harold is the owner of the place with an awesome team of body guys. He made sure that as the customer I was treated with respect and that the car was to be done correctly by everyone that was involved in the project. There was a lot of changes that needed to be done to the car and Harold worked with me to make those changes happen. The body work they had done to the car was affordable. I would recommend Harold and his body guys to work on any of my cars, to have them look as good as the Mustang.
