Eric, man, I love the color. you understood what i was after, you spent the time to educate me on the various colors potions, and worked your skills perfectly. I'm having fun showing off your great work! I'm including the before and after pictures of my 20 year old new car! Now that I know I can count on someone to make an old car look new, I'll never throw away money on a new car again!
When I got a price quote and time when the paint job would be finished, I was skeptical that it would be the best quality work. I was selling my car, so I just wanted a fresh paint job and body repair, now it looks awesome and I'm definitely keeping my Mustang!
In June, we contacted this shop after our car was in an accident, after he was sent pictures and the damage explained, he told us that he was able to repair our vehicle and gave us a price. This he assured us, included, getting it back to running correctly, mechanically an d After a couple of weeks, he called us to let us know that it ready for pickup. We drove to pick it up and it was clearly not ready. Paint was smudged, looked like it had dried while it was running and was on the lights and mud flaps, the contours on the panel were crooked, there were new scratches on the car. Also, it would not drive without the brake system shutting it down. It has been talk to him, and he explained that he hadn’t really seen all of that, and his guy said it was ready. He apologized and said he would correct the work. This is after he already received more than half of the payment.
After more than three months, he called to say it was finally ready. He said pictures, and I questioned some of the work for which he had an excuse. At this point, I was just ready to get away vehicle back. It was clear that he was not going to repair it to a standard at an auto collision repair shop should hold. It was delivered with overspray everywhere, filthy inside, and out, and much of the damage poorly repaired. DO NOT LET THIS SHOP
TOUCH YOUR VEHICLE. We are left with a job undone and he has received his payment.
DO NOT USE THIS PLACE
Save yourself money, time and headaches.
After 4 months , I got my car back half way done, and it took 1 more month for them to bolt the panels the right way.
They charged me to fix the drivers doors and doors still sagging and scratching the "fresh paint".
They wanted to charge me extra to buffe the finish.
Clear coat shows alot of pinholes all over the car.
You can feel and see overspray everywhere.
Clear coat runs everywhere.
They did finish the spaces between panels.
Biggest regret trusting this business.
They wouldn't answer text or phone calls,I would have to lose time from work to go to the place in person to get updated and to hear dumb excuses.
I am only giving them one star because Google won't let me post, but if there was an option for negative stars I would give them the most.
DO NOT USE THIS PLACE.
I waited over a week to post this as to calm down and give only the facts. SO on May 12 2023 i took my car to Bar C Customs san antonio located at 3840-2 Fredericksburg Rd, San Antonio, TX 78201
Eric quoted me 1300.00 to paint my 2000 ford mustang convertible. He insisted paying
cash or he would tax me on the non cash payment, i paid 500 deposit and he said it would be done by
next Friday May 19th 2023. I picked it up on Sat. May 20th 2023 and paid 800.00 cash for the remainding payment.
He then showed me the 8 inch run on the clear coat on the rear spoiler, said to come back wed May 24th and they
could fix while i wait! I start driving off, still in their parking lot and notice the hood scoop is not all the way down and just
flopping around, i immediately call him still in his drive way and he says there were only 2 screws in it when it came in! We just
installed it, was not loose and was fitted tight to the hood with lock washers and lock nuts before i dropped it off. So i get home
to try to fix their poor install and find the bolts under the scoop lodged against a seam, Also wasnt falling off when i drove there, Anyway i fix their poor workmanship and
notice they didnt paint the front lip of the hood also, so when i went back on wed May 24th to get the run in the clear coat fixed
i tell them about no paint on the front of the hood. They sand the rear spoiler trying to fix their work but said it cant be fixed and
must drop it off to repaint, fine! So i open the trunk and the bumper under the trunk was also not painted. I drop it off on Saturday
May 27th for them to fix their poor work, was told all would be fixed, well i pick it up on wed may 31st after they say its all done,
The rear spoiler is still messed up, now is 2 different shades of red, my brand new 1600.00 convertible top is stained with some kind of white
stuff that wont come off, my brand new 1500.00 dollar exhaust as also been painted red! My windows are covered with probably
clear coat and had to use laquer thinner to get off, There is also a paint run on the driver door and the whole car feels like sand,
What are they doing here? They are doing more damage than good, I am going to list this on the Better Business Bureau and also
on google comments to hopefully prevent them from destroying anyone elses automobile. They treat your vehicle like crap, all they
want is your cash money and do a horrible job. I work in retail and i will tell everyone i meet about this place and not ever to do business with them, you have been warned.
We found this place when looking for somewhere to get a car painted for our son for graduation. Didn’t have a lot to spend but wanted it to look the best possible, well boy were we surprised when it was done in 3 days, but looked show room ready!!! Best paint shop if you’re looking for a beautiful paint job and the owner was absolutely wonderful, even upgraded the color for us at no extra charge because it was for our son’s graduation! 100% recommend for any paint and body services. One of the best in San Antonio!
I'm highly disappointed with the work they did on my camero! Just to start it off, the finish product looks like crocodile skin. It feels like they sprinkled sand on my car since it's so rough and bumpy. I thought my car was bad when I brought it but it came out worst. On top of that, the paint only lasted about three weeks before it started fading terribly. The owner ERIC needs to reevaluate his decision on running a "customs" shop. He overpromise and under delivers. I highly don't recommend coming here.
Work received - Protective lining (off brand rhino liner) spray to a 2004 Tacoma (entire truck, jams included) and rust treatment on the frame.
Why 4 Stars - Minor imperfections (i.e. trim on the backside of the hood and a few smaller trim areas missed due to bad taping). Note, Eric will fix with his warranty but I got this done right before moving due to my job and no shop where I was going could do the work.
Summary - Overall, I am happy with the work done. I would say this is one of the better "bang for buck" shops in town for liner work. My clear coat was peeling and I needed a good solution before moving to protect my truck from winter weather. I paid half of what I would've if I had gone somewhere else (i.e. Maaco or the off road shops that rhino line) - $2500 vs $5000+. There are some minor imperfections but overall the work is acceptable. It may take several coats, so ensure you see the work done in the sunlight and different angles before driving off into the sunset. Eric is good to his word and easy to work with and did a great job bringing new life to an old work truck. He put in a lot of extra work to treat the frame rust that other shops would have skimped on, he did a second coat and helped install a new grille and sprayed to match. Really appreciated his patience in working with a busy schedule. I would recommend Eric for getting your vehicle sprayed.
