Auto Fashion

I dont know about the other reviews, but my experience was perfect… i got my windows tinted as well as an alarm. As far as them trying to sell you something, thats their job all you have to do is say, «no». They were very courteous and professional.

In beginning of July 2015 I purchased a back up camera for my fiancé’s 2010 BMW. Now this was supposed to be a surprise for her birthday which was in August. After speaking to Mike who is the owner, we agreed on a price of $ 600. He drew up a contract, I then paid the bill in full and received my receipt. He stated that he would call me in approximately a week when he recieced the items. After a week went by I called him and he informed me that he needed a few more days. I called him back a week later and the items still were not there. I then explained to him that this was crazy and I was going cancel and to go to a different Auto place and he begged me to give him a couple of more days. I then called back another week later and he still had not received it, and my fiancé’s birthday was alittle over a week away. So I asked him why couldn’t he order the items from another place he stated to give him a couple of minutes he was going to see if he could get it from different place and call me back. He called me back and said he had located it at a different place and he had ordered it. He advised me that he would receive it in 2 to 3 days. In the 3 days he did receive it which was July 29^th. I asked him if he could install it on the 29^th or the 30^th because I was going on a family vacation on the 31^st. He then stated that he was backed up with cars, mind you I had originally explained to him that I wanted it installed before my fiancé’s birthday which was August 2^nd. He said if I wanted, I could leave the car and it would be finished when We returned from vacation. I was so fucking pissed off at him and the way he had conducted business but I agreed to bringing it back when I returned from my vacation. He said okay just bring $ 200 more because the place he ordered it from charged him more money than what I originally paid him. I told him he was fucking insane after putting me at an inconvienance for over a month and begging me not to go any place else to get it done. He then told me if he does it for the price that we agreed upon that it would be as if he was doing the entire labor for free. I did not agree to that and told him that he should take the loss due to all that he that put me through. He said that he couldn’t do that and would give me my money back. I informed him that I would never come there to have any work done on my vehicles and I would inform my friends and family not to go there either. Mike is a fucked individual and I will never deal with him again!!! BEWARE

Let me start off by saying that Unilocal apparently is reporting this auto shop as closed? Well it’s very much open, but I’m not sure if it should be. Let me explain. I recently purchased a new 2014 Nissan Rogue and wanted to add stainless steel bumper guards to the front and back. My friend, who’s a mechanic, actually recommended the shop to me and so we set out there one Wednesday. When I got there, I eventually spoke to «Mike» who was the boss of the shop. I told him what I was here for and he said yes he could get it done. We opened up a book filled with those types of bumper guards and I began the process of picking it out to show him. Now I already knew exactly what I wanted but felt it necessary to pick it out of the book for that added identification. I found both the front and back bumper guards that I wanted and pointed them out to him. He said yes he can get those and even gave me a «That’s what I thought you were talking about, good we’re on the same page» confirmation. He then said he had to call his «boy» to make sure he had them in stock. He called, gave me the whole long speech on how new my vehicle was (model wise), and that the 2014 Nissan Rogue is a new body type compared to the previous, but yes his boy had the bumper guards in stock. He drew up a contract and we agreed to a price $ 325 for each ($ 650.00 total) with a down payment of $ 325. I left the $ 325, signed the paperwork, and was told to bring in the vehicle on Friday. I brought it in on Friday, was told to pick it up at 7PM. Now seeing as the shop was close to my mother I stayed there till it was ready and had her drop me to the shop at 7. When I approached the shop, I saw what looked like my vehicle parked on the street. I smiled once I saw the silver around the bumper area but that smiled just as quickly turned to a frown. It turns out his «boy» in fact did not have the «double bars» which we discussed and agreed upon, but «single bars». When I entered the shop and discussed it. He first tried to convince me of how good they look. Now yes, they did look good but they weren’t what I purchased. I specially wanted the double bars for the added higher protection they offered. Needless to say I asked him to have them changed. He gave me the, «I gotta check my boy and see if he can get em’». He then told me to bring in the vehicle the following Tuesday. That Tuesday morning, I called him at 11A to tell him I’m coming in. He old me «oh he’s got 50 cars in the shop today and couldn’t take any more cars,» and could I bring it in on «Thursday.» He then also went on to tell me that he spoke to his «boy» and that the he now had the bars. Now here’s the good part, he then tells me that the bars would cost extra. Now how the hell do we pick out a product from a book, sign a contract for said product, have your «boy» purposely install the wrong product on my vehicle (wasting not only my time but your «boys», and ask me now to pay extra for what I already paid for? Insane right? At least in the eyes of New York State law it is. He cried about how he was already loosing money on this deal, how the double bars cost more, and how he was loosing out on labor cost blah blah blah. All which had nothing to do with me. Needless to say we worked out a small agreement where I gave him an extra $ 80. So I bring the vehicle in and they keep it and tell me to come back in 4 hours which would have been at 5P that afternoon. So I call them at 5P and was told it’s not ready yet. So at 6:30P, I said hell with it and headed down there. The vehicle ended up coming in at 7:15P but finally with the bars I wanted. I took and inspected my vehicle to find that it now had 40 additional miles and a quarter tank of gas missing. When I asked Mike what the hell this was about, He told me that he sent my car to a shop all the way in Queens to get the work done. I was surprised seeing that when I asked one of Mikes workers where the other shop was and why it was taking so long to get my vehicle back, he said the shop was not too far away. 20 Miles back and forth seems pretty far to me. I mean, how do you not tell someone that the work will not be done locally but in another bloody county. What if something happened to my vehicle? I would not have even known where the hell it was sent. I’m still on the look out for any tickets or anything that may pop up for that day. I was so annoyed and done with these guys that I just said thank you and got the hell out of there. Now the next day while dropping my wife off, she finds this receipt on the floor of the car. After reading it, I realize that it’s actually a receipt for the shop from the other car shop in Queens. It showed just how much the single bars cost and the double bars and surprise surprise, they both cost the same. Basically he lied and I actually brought the receipt back to him. He read it and with his head down could only say, «well I needed to make a little money». Just don’t F-​ing lie man be honest. Never again though.
