I must have gotten the "one in a few". I checked out several paint jobs "David" had done and then called him up. He came to MY shop, 10 minutes earlier than he said, looked at my pile of rust and bolts (the panel) and took about 45 minutes surveying the work. This is in November. Gave me an estimate and I told him I'd think about it. Called him on week later and we agreed on the money and what was to be done. He told me he was finishing up a car and to bring the panel to his shop the first of December. I had went to his shop once to look around and see pictures of some of his restorations. I took the panel there first of December and he told me to come back around the first week in Febuary and it'd be ready. Of course I went there MANY times during the work and on one ocassion ask if I needed to re-imburse him for any supplies ect. He said to me "no, just wait until you pick it up". around the first of Feburary he told me to come pick it up!!
"David" had done 3 more cars of my friends and the same senario happens everytime. Once he told a friend "I have two ahead of you and will call you when I can get yours". Sure enough, he called and told my friend to bring it on over. Three weeks later the guy went back and picked up the car. (It was not in bad shape)
He is honest, straight forward and easy to deal with. Gosh, I wish they were all like David.....he is NOT a "professional" painter but is darn good at metal work and paints a TOP OF THE LINE daily driver and was $4000 better than two other paint shops.....saved the other guys around $3000. Two years later they still look great and he is still painting!
Thought a GOOD story needed telling here. All body shop/painters guys are not bad.
