D and M Auto Body did not warranty the body work because someone else had done the majority of the work was done somewhere else prior to bringing it to my location. We gave him a repair order saying there is no warranty. My Secretary has text...

messages explaining to him there was not going to be any warranty. All he wanted us to do was paint and install left quarter panel which he provided. I have text messages letting him know that there was no warranty before we began work on 6/13/2015. He brought it in to the shop primered already and that was why we did not guarantee the work we did not know what was underneath or if it was done correctly all we charged him for was to install a aftermarket left quarter panel that he provided and we painted it. When we installed the left quarter panel the lines and the gaps between the left quarter panel and door aligned the same way the opposite side did. Even the gap between the trunk and both quarter panels were even all the way around. The only issue he had was the left light cap that did not fit and he texted my secretary Leticia [redacted] regarding that issue even though we did not have warranty. I told my secretary to text him back and tell him to bring it in so we can fix the problem. He later texted her saying he was going to take it somewhere else to fix it for him.
The day [redacted] came to pick up the vehicle he said everything looked good. And when he called at a later date he said it was sticky, but when he came to pick up vehicle he brought 6 guys with him to lift body up and set it to the frame there was no indentations or fingerprints showing any indication that the paint was still gummy. It even had a shine and customer looked over the vehicle before he took it. He did not pay in full that day because we still had some of his loose parts to polish. And when he came to pick up the remaining parts to his vehicle he was still satisfied with the work did not mention any scratches or imperfections and he paid in full on 6/26/2015. He was still happy about the work.
He never ever mentioned anything regarding paint until he took it to another location but not any point since he took it on 6/26/XXXXX did he mention he had any problems with the work until 8/19/2015 when he called and spoke to me on the shop phone to tell he was going to take legal action.
He told my workers he was very happy and satisfied with the work we did and he was glad he found my shop. When he left my location on 6/26/15 told him if he had any problems to call me and we can fix it but he had looked over it and never mentioned anything until now.
We don't work on the weekends and had told him to bring it in on a sat because it was convenient for him and he choose not to bring it in after all. If this vehicle was sticky and gummy we would not be able to polish it and shine it the way we did when it left. If you see the pictures you can see your reflection.

I do not eccept D and M auto body respond.. My [redacted] was not primer wheat I took it to D and M , I have pictures to prove it and witness. How is is possible for a professional shop not to warranty there own work. I did in fact diced not to take my [redacted] back to D and M. But it was for the reason that's I hade time to look at my [redacted] closely and I found many imprecations on the craftsmenship imperfections such as scratch marks under the paint and back quarter panel welded incorrect. I also wanted another option from another professional body shop. After further inspection from Hot Rod Alley auto body. They came back with the report that quarter panel was welded incorrect and the paint product that's D and M use on my [redacted] was done incorrectly and was no good .. I have samples from the paint it had nothing to do with the underneath body work.. HOT ROD ALLEY also added on there report that the only way to fix the paint was to sand the whol [redacted] down to primer witch HOT ROD ALLEY quoted me for $6000. I would never take my [redacted] back to D and M auto body for any reson. There are not trust worthy not to mention they still have some of my [redacted] parts still at there shop that they will not return back to me. I have prove that they still have some of my parts in the for of tex..I still want full refund from D and M auto body

There was a claim started with the BAR we are still standing behind are original response of we do not believe it was our fault. If we had the chance to look at the paint job maybe are PPG Rep could have checked it out we probably got bad paint and that was under warranty but we never had the chance to look at the job. We had advised the customer to bring it in so we could see it but he decided not to.
