Is There An Honest Auto/Body/Painter In SoCal?

I agree with you 100% RRR.
In all of my dealings with any of the paint shops I never asked for a discount. I've checked out their work, asked about the brand of paint materials they plan to use, their estimate on how long the job will take, and then asked for their price. Also, I've never quibbled about their quote.

I was sorta thinkin you weren't "like that". Thing is, it's SO RARE to actually find people who appreciate the service they're getting........."AS LONG" as it's fair and honest. I would venture to say over 75% of the customers that come into our store "don't give a rat's butt" about our jobs or profession. "ALL" they want is the "best deal". Makes me wanna puke. Good luck man. I know you'll find somebody. There are two GOOD places here, but that doesn't do you any good "THERE".
