At that point I would rather buy a new one pre-painted from Tischer. I guess I was just hoping that Dave would "make it right." Silly me for thinking so.

Also, I understand that my paint is what you call faded. I know you don't have your hood anymore Johnny, but when we were at speedware, I did notice that the paint was not 100% dead on even on your newer car. It was whiter than your car.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience so no one would have to go through what Andrew and I and a few other people did. Or just be aware of it.

Thank you everyone for your support and hopefully I will get my lip back some time next week.

He quoted me $150 initially, ended up being $200.

It's a weird feeling reading this thread after spending a lot of time with Dave over the past few weeks. I was at the shop on multiple occasions, working on my senior project which involved creating ads for 360.

I know, it's been said that Dave is a cool guy, but that doesn't make up for his sub-par customer service, and I must agree that after seeing how he treats his customers and their cars (piling up car parts in the backseat which damages your leather seats, blaming something he broke on the accident the car came in for, etc.) I cannot recommend 360 Autobody anymore.

Had I known about this earlier, I would have chosen a different shop to make ads for.

One of the questions on my evaluation forms is "After seeing my ads, would you consider going to 360 Autobody for any of their services?" and one person answered "No, because they look too high-end and I have a Honda." Makes me feel guilty for making people believe otherwise about the reality of the shop, but I guess that's marketing...

+1, Dave's job on my car is a 6/10 at best. It's cool though since:
A. I'm the only one that can point out whats wrong, not too obvious.
B. Great pricing.

tha_good_life · 05-13-2011, 11:58 AM

This thread is sooo funny as I have been telling you guys 360 is a WHACK ass shop. I only went there because Johnny referred me to him. No offense to Johnny but reality if you want a good paint job, DON"T TAKE YOUR RIDE TO 360. I bet Maaco can do a better job. I took my M3 over there to get a SMALL scratch fixed. After three visits, he still can't get it done right. I was so fed up and said screw it... NEVER EVER WILL GO HERE.

Sounds like you just have bad luck. Maybe you should change your hobby of having other people work on your cars and take up knitting?
