Mobile Dent Express

Beware of this trickster! Walter Blake drove by my house last week in his shiny new truck with the words, «Mobile Dent Express» emblazoned on its side. Seeing my SUV had a number of minor dents and scratches, he offered to «make it look like new» and could do it all in my driveway in the space of a few hours. I asked him how much it would cost, to which he quoted me «$ 750.00 satisfaction guaranteed.» Inasmuch as I had put off doing anything about my car’s appearance due to the prohibitive cost of a «minor» facelift, I thought to myself, «Why not? He has a beautiful truck, seems honest and the price couldn’t be beat.» Boy was I wrong, he completely seduced me.
After a few hours I came out to the driveway to inspect his work. The car, where there body work and/​or painted was required, was completely covered with a white waxy substance. Walter informed that I needed to «leave it on for a few hours; until the paint hardens. you can take it through a car wash tomorrow and you will be pleasantly surprised how nice your car looks.»
The next morning I took my car through a mobile car wash in Glendale, and voila, all the white wax remained. By now I was starting to feel the pain. I called the number on Walter’s flyer repeatedly (626) 310‑5467 and received the message, «I’m sorry but you have called a person whose voice message has not been set up yet, Goodbye!»
I looked up his address on Google Maps, 9626 Marshall Street, Rosemead, CA 91 770, and sure enough the white truck he was driving shows up in the picture of the front of his house.
I finally gave up and took my now messed up car to a reputable body shop in my neighborhood. The owner informed me that the paint he used was only a primer and did not match the color of my car., and that I should be wary of people like Walter Blake that prey on trusting people. Please don’t let this happen to you and help spread the word! I will post a photo of this culprit and his truck along with the flyer he left me so that you will know him when you see him!
