** Detailed Review**…read more
Hello everyone, I had just got around to be able to write a review for Auto Plus of Chicago. I will write a detailed review of my personal experience with them.
I have a 12' Lexus IS250 and I was involved in an accident where my front and rear bumper needed to be replaced. I was looking for many local shops that had fair pricing and good reviews, reviews always go a long way. I found Auto Plus of Chicago with 4+/5 stars. I had spoke to the owner, Sam, about pricing. He gave me a very reasonable price for paint+install. I had ordered the front and rear bumpers on my own, I just needed the shop to paint+prime and install them for me.
04/06/2021- This was the first day that I came in to drop my car off to the shop. At first glance this shop looked very unprofessional, it looked like no one even worked here, not a single worker to be found, except the janitor. I walked around and found one of the workers in the office. I told him what I needed done and that I spoke to Sam. I left the bumpers there for them to paint and they said they would contact me when they are ready to be installed. Sounded good to me.
04/06/2021- I was told the bumpers were done and to leave the car at the shop for installation, which was fine with me, shouldn't take long at all. I was told that their painter broke their back and it would take longer than usual, I understand accidents happen so that was fine.
04/17/2021- I was told the car was ready. I came into the shop to notice the paint color was off and there were smudge marks everywhere. My car is nebula gray, while the front and rear bumper were painted like a light blue shade. I said I'm not taking it and to fix this and let me know when it's ready.
05/06/2021- I was finally told the car was finished this time and I came into the shop, this time the paint was matched fairly accurate and weren't many smudge marks which looked fine to me. The funny thing is they got this paint from Sherwin-Williams, which was right across their shop...
I thought I would had a smooth and easy process with this shop, but of course with my luck right when I came in to make a deal with them is when these new workers bought the shop. Previous owners seemed to care much more about customers and provided quality service.
Overall, this shop is VERY unprofessional and no one seems to CARE about any customer satisfaction. If you actually want some decent customer service the only person I recommend talking to is SAM, absolutely no one else at that shop has any idea what they are doing and they are very unprofessional. It took EXACTLY 1 month for me to get my car just to get the FRONT and REAR bumper painted and installed. A job like this should take a WEEK at most, realistically a couple days. I had to come in THREE separate times to look at the car just to even see if it was right. The first and second time were absolutely ridiculous and I would feel embarrassed to even offer a customer a vehicle looking like the way mine did. At-least the third time they got it right, there were a few minor fixes, but at that point I just needed my car back.
BEWARE IF YOU CONSIDER COMING TO THIS SHOP
