There were massive drip marks in the finished product as well as a ton of over spray. In some spots it looked like they ran out of paint to finish it bc there is not enough paint covering and the coat is so thin ( like rattle can ). In one part it looks like 2 different colors were used , white and some yellowish color. Also we can still see some faint blue behind the white color.. He lied to us also. Had the truck delivered via AAA tow truck on June 23, 2017 he texted us on the 28th telling us it was ready. I asked him for a photo of the truck he said he didn't have one. So we live in Mission Viejo which is a 1.5 hour drive or 3 hour round trip. On June 29th the next day my friend went out to the shop on the basis that the truck was ready, we'll it wasn't to our surprise, Aaron had said that he had problems getting it in the paint booth and that it would be ready in 2 hrs time... it's a Friday no one was looking to stick around in the heat. Plus why did he say that it was ready the day before?????? Anyways the finished product was nightmare to the heart point where it needs to be Repainted AGAIN. We are looking to sell the truck so we are not expecting a well paint job. There goes 770 dollars down the drain. Horrible customer service that guy should be fired..

I love coming to Mark and Dave whenever I need to get my car fixed. They are so honest and never do any work with out your consent which I love. I've gone to other places where they have done work that I did not ask for and then expected me to pay. Whenever I take my car in I can always expect a nice phone call from them letting me know that my car is ready (they are so speedy). Thanks for always doing an amazing job read more

I wasn't aware of this ahead of time, but they specialize in European cars. I drive a Toyota so most likely will utilize an auto shop that focuses on Japanese cars in the future if there was anything more complex that needed to be diagnosed.
