horrible. This guy is a HUGE SCAMMER. He lurks in grocery store parking lots and looks for genuinely nice people and foreigners to sell his services to (aka take advantage of). I had a few scratches on my car and he said he`d fix everything and "make my car look brand new" for $60. I figured I would give him a chance since I am a supporter of hard working people who run their own small business. He came to ... view moremy apartment the next day to "fix" my car. He spent about two minutes SPRAY PAINTING the scratches on my car as well as filling in a small door ding on my car with a thick layer of spray paint. I asked him what he was doing and he assured me he was using top notch Mercedes paint. After he had spray painted my car he was packing up to leave even though my car now looked like it had paint dripping down the side on the areas where he had gone over the scratches. He told me that he needed to let it dry and that in two days he would come back and buff the areas out and wax it as well as give my entire car a full detail. He convinced me to give him the $60 because he "needed to buy the supplies to do the rest of the job" he promised to finish in two days. I gave him the benefit of the doubt (big mistake). Two days rolled around and I called him to ask where to meet him and he told me he had to reschedule because his car got stolen in his church parking lot and all the material was in his car so he had to reschedule another two days. I was skeptical at first but then decided to give him the benefit of the doubt again. I called him again after two days had gone by and he sounded drunk or high or something and he told me he couldnt do it because he had the flu--at this point i told him I wanted at least half my money back since he didn`t finish the job and he then proceeded to tell me that I should be grateful for the work he had already done because "anywhere else would have charged me $500 for what he did." He told me that if he didnt show up to finish the job in ANOTHER two days that he would give my money back. SO another two days roll by and I call him--he tells me he cannot do the job because it was raining and so I told him to do it in my garage but he said "ya but it`s too cold out." I was literally speechless at this point. He then told me he was go ahead and just give me half my money back in another two days, but told him that I would meet him now so I could get my money back. He then said he didn`t have the money and was waiting on some cash to come through in two days. After thinking about it, he probably bought spray paint at the local store and just sprayed over the damn marks on my car and if he`s going to do that then I sure as hell don`t believe he knows how to buff, wax or professionally details any car--especially my E class Mercedes (got it as a graduation gift from my grandfather)! This guy is nothing but a fraud. If the loser is gonna go through great lengths by scamming a young broke gal in her mid twenties just to make $60 then WHATEVER HE CAN HAVE THE FREAKIN` MONEY. Do not use this guy--keep an eye out for him and avoid him--he`s Mexican and fat and I don`t think he showers, He drives a greyish looking beat up volvo (i think), and he`s pretty nice when you first meet him. DO NOT BUY INTO THIS.
