86GT Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yeah, you try telling Phil you don't like it and watch him throw a fit. He finally told me to take it and quit bothering him. Yeah, so much fun. I would like to hear both sides of the story because I can't see him wanting unhappy customers when he was trying to get his business off the ground. Well he must be doing something right to go from working out of his garage to being the owner/operator of a state of the art collision repair facility that he has now.

I don't give two shits what he's accomplished now. From what I hear, not much has changed with his habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Just because First Impressions "can" do good work, doesn't mean they always "do" good work. The cars they do for Progressive have been through my shop before for rework, and I have redone a few myself. Not saying that any repair shop is perfect, but First Impressions doesn't have an outstanding reputation for quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Holy damn, thanks folks but I wasn't hoping for my thread to get any bad blood out there :X my fault Anyhow I've got a number of different people to try now... i'd like to actually see some of the work these people have had done to really gauge how good the people are. And would anyone out there happen to have any idea how long a typical paint job to get done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Take a look at my Formula for some of Kevin's custom work and paint. I get nothing but compliments on the FMIC modifications to the front fascia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritas Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Guess i'll be calling you then. I've not seen ant's car in a while, but I know he's rather anal about things let alone his car and judging by the pic It looks cool. Still though, what kind of turn around time would a typical smallish car paintjob be? I don't care if it will be snowing soonish, I'm tired of my car looking like poo especially now that i'm actually having to drive it. (the woman's car got totalled after some random ass woman hit me from ONCOMING TRAFFIC on broadstreet in the mouth) And what time will you be in tomorrow 360?

Clifford Automotive Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 never said i didnt see any of his work.from one of the jobs he done(that i seen first hand), i wouldnt let him order me a fender.or match a off color!and from what i was told was charged for a complete respray! the car in question is a member here!then piece's fall off the same car a few days later! :gtfo: maybe you need to go back and reread what i said! i said heard a seen! war of words when i spoke with him on the phone in west jeff, he lost there with me. and this was years ago,after i had just joined here! and i got his number here via pm There is only one car on here that I have almost done a complete all over on. I was not paid to do an all over, nor was I paid to do all the paint work on the car that had been done. Their car was an insurance job due to a front end hit. You dont normally paint all the way down both sides of the car for a front cover, and fender. And I only put on what the insurance company tells me to. Look me up on the board.... good to bad let me know what you find. And if someone has a problem with any of the work we have done...They were all told, their satisfaction is what we want and all the work is guaranteed for life.

BloodRed Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Keep in mind there is a big difference between a Body shop and a body shop that only does collision repair. I went to 4 body shops to get quotes on work on my XJ yesterday and only one shop would even give me a quote to do the work. The rest said they only do collision (aka insurance) work. I didn't make it over to Clifford after the bad taste in my mouth from the other 3 places I went to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My room mate and i have a friend that works at First Impressions, so when my room mate got in a front end collision in his TL he took it there to get repaired. Overall it looks good BUT on the grill (looks like aluminum all around the Acura emblem), my room mate requested them to paint it black to match the car. Day or 2 later it started flaking off and currently there is probably less than 50% of the paint left on the grill. The car is actually there today getting that fixed.

The work I do is more paint then collision...Dealing with the shops and dealership I do its typically what I do. With the occasional insurance job here and there. Bring it by, Id be happy to look at it for you. Dont let someone else give you a bad taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
