Hilarious I'm even posting this over the dumbest/cheapest ricer mod ive ever done to my car (no shame) with some backyard page i found on IG.
Found this page on IG @swayzesautocustoms located in Vancouver that was advertising liquid wrap, vinyl wrap, ppf, ceramic coating services etc.
Some mutual followers, Over 2000 general followers & hundreds of car posts that they've worked on (Most of the cars being $60-80g+ cars including some M Cars, AMG gt's, Taycan's, E63's etc etc.)
By the photos and higher end nature of cars that used their service, the service looked OK. I wanted to get my hatch emblems and exhaust tips liquid wrapped in gloss black so i made an appointment to get it done.
Upon arriving to their "shop" i already had an iffy vibe. two kids in their early 20's, hacking darts, in their parents garage ready to tackle the car. Hey dont judge a book by its cover tho right? i used to be a hustler in my 20's too!
The main guy that appears to be the owner seemed nice, was a car guy himself. We chat for a bit, he then asks me to come back in 40 mins to pickup the car.
I walked over to the nearest coffee shop, worked for a bit, came back to get the car - The tips were half assed and rushed, quite obviously unpainted areas that are literally visible and bad paint runs - I point out the blemish to him, he apologizes and tells me to come back on Saturday and he will get them re done for me. Up to this was great, mistakes happen. Im not expecting 100% on a cheap job where parts are painted while still on the car with some masking - But trust me, this was BAD - But i was happy with him offering to redo the tips.
Now saturday, just completely ghosting, doesnt respond to my texts at all, doesnt respond to my instagram DM but still posting their work "stories" and daily updates LOL. It was a fucking $80 shit job so i dont care too much, ill just bring it to someone else or ill man up and DIY it. Also im not blaming anyone but MYSELF that i used these backyard vinyl wrappers with no legitimate google business page in the first page.
Im guessing they have the audacity to ignore me since there's no real source to leave a public review for them? I can only imagine there has to be loads of pissed off customers that spent decent amount on full wraps that were half assed and left with no response? Most of these cars being higher end, i cant imagine half of these people being okay with a subpar shitty job.
Back to my point - Wether its a $80 job or a $1000 job, these guys need to know there are consequences running a business touching other peoples properties and being shady at the same time. I will continue to post this on Reddit and other local car pages as much as i can. Screw these guys.
at least it looks good from far away lol
