Complaint Review: AutoPainting USA

AutoPainting USA Scam in Chandler, Arizona.  Be aware and stay away from AutoPainting USA Rip-Off! I  was ripped off!  Owner is a liar and uses threats to force payment. 

AutoPainting USA Bait and Switch. Terrible quality.  Owner is a thief and liar but pretends to be a quiet humble man.  

Pricing  advertised is not honored. Asked for the paint special and requested a price to replace 2 exterior door handles. The next day I was told the handles were $125.00 each.  I agreed to the cost. The car was not finished when promised and took four days longer than told. When I went to pick up the vehicle the cost for 2 handles was over $450.00!  

I questioned the charge and reminded the owner he told me the cost was $125.00 each and he then looked at me and became very creepy as he stated that I was correct he had told me the handles were $125.00 each and that was the amount he was charging. However, he stated that the additional $200.00 was the amount I owed for his time to order the handles and to have the handles installed.   

I told him that he had deceived me. In response, he calmly threatened me to not say that again or he would require that I leave his shop and not come back until I apologized.  He suggested that he didn't want me to feel that way and asked if I wanted to go home and think about my comment and perhaps see if a good night's rest would help me see things more clearly. 

I told him that I wanted my vehicle and he said I had made a good decision.  (He is a freak.)

The paint looks terrible with orange peel texture rather than a smooth glass like surface that he had promised.  I pointed this out and he said he was well aware of the orange peel and told me that is how it is supposed to look unless I wanted to pay to have the car wet sanded and buffed for an additional $500.00.

I objected and said it was not acceptable.  He told me that if I didn't like it, he would simply tell me to leave and he would use a mechanics lien to sell my vehicle to be paid.  He told me to make a decision immediately to pay the bill in full, or leave without my car because he did not have time to fool around with me.

I paid him the balance and he told me that I had made a very good choice.
