It is truly unfortunate that I have to leave a negative review for Bill Wright Paints & Supplies…read more
On 9/15/20, I was referred to Bill Wrights for a custom BMW Carbon Schwartz paint. I needed the paint in a spray can, since it's difficult to locate someone who does such a thing I was excited to find this shop.
Upon entry, I was greeted by a kind, welcoming, and passionate individual who turned out to be the owner.
The owner went above and beyond to accommodate and make sure I was happy with the paint and service. During my first visit the service was spectacular.
During the spray, I had some issues with the can spitting out the tip. Understanding that due to the hardner the tip was clogging up, however, once cleaning the tip didn't resolve the issue and the second can simply be stopped spraying I contacted the shop. Now, this is where my whole experience was changed to a negative one.
The man answering the phone and working in the shop had absolutely 0 customer service, willingness to help, or fix the issue. Instead, he began to lecture me, argue, and deny any resolution. After realizing that this was a pointless conversation, resulting in an argument and seeing no resolution from his end. I stopped and said ok fine ill pay for the new cans to be mixed, accepting that I was a complete idiot who for the first time ever picked up a can of spray paint.
Today, the final straw and reason for this negative review.
The 3 new cans I picked up and spent $100 on, not including the 100$ I spend the first visit we're mixed completely different from the original. Yes, there was a sticker placed on the can by the owner to make it all look professional we're ignored. The new cans just had the paint code "416" written in sharpie. The difference in the mixture is a major one. Per the second visit where I was made to look like an idiot, I followed his direction and immediately stopped using the spray.
I went to the shop today hoping that maybe today I will have a better experience. Boy was I wrong! He took absolutely no accountability, shouting it's the same paint code. I said sure but mixed differently. He argued and shouted not even attempting to simply re-do the cans. There's nothing I can do and there is nothing wrong with the cans. The pictures I showed him were ignored to well this doesn't prove anything. Really? When you can clearly see the depth, flake, and shine in the paint mix by the owner and the dull purple looking no-flake mix by you. This doesn't prove anything he argues, I'm not gonna fix anything.
I asked him is this how you really tread customers? You made a mistake fine all I ask is for you to remake it. Asking for the owner or when will he be in resulted in keep checking like I'm just supposed to put all my plans aside and wait. When did I ask him if a negative review really worth proving his point? He replied I don't care! When told that I can call the bank and file a chargeback, again all I got was so what do what you want.
I'm not looking to bash any business especially one that I know deep inside runs completely different by the owner. I don't want to file a chargeback or bring any negativity to the owner who worked hard to achieve a great reputation. I would love to continue doing business here being that's it's difficult to find a shop who does provide this service. I'm willing to change this review to a positive one. All I want is for the mix to be done correctly as it was the first time.
There is absolutely no reason or excuse to treat customers this way. A satisfied customer will bring his business back to you instead of a negative review and potentially losing future customers.
I'm truly hoping that my first impression was not wrong!
