99 4runner the wife bought new. faded out the paint..its ot 175k on it. still a great truck. good inside so we figure were gonna keep it forever and were gonna git it painted
well the paint jobs we wanted cost 3-5k. so the shop im in good with tells me to see the maaco shop down the road as he painter is actaully pretty good and since the truck didnt need any body work it oughtta come out nice
well the piant came out prety good. smooth shiney and you can read yer watch in it 5 ft away
except the truck was forest green when we took it in and it is so dark a green now everyone thinks we painted it black. so i figured thats okay...i can live with it and the wife will get used to it.
truck was detailed 2 days ago so its got some dust on it and generally looks like its been in a body shop for 2 days. well we take it home and 2 days later when we wash it its got over spray from something yellow on it. looked like dust but its overspray. the shop manager saw it when i picked it up and said it would just wash off...we were thinkin it was dust ...
so they tell me they aint gonna do anyhting about either issue. the color or the overspray. i take it to corporate maaco and they aint doing nothin but telling me the shop will pay 200 towards getting it buffed off...if i do it in thier shop. well it aint ever going back there so...apparently maaco is a frnachise..
the fight has begun...soon as this made the facebook page my phone started ringing..literally 5 mins after i posted it
updates to come as they roll in
i know ya git what ya pay for but i expected to get what i paid for..not what they wanted to give me for what i paid
gary
