Beware Of Bad Service As of some of you know there are people that do mobile services here in the no. cal. I've ran into a person (Erick Johnathan Samuels, and some short guy named Sonny) who painted my ss spoiler and it turned out to be terrible. Gaurenteed it would match the color of my car and it ended up looking destroyed after the paint dried. It looked like old faded paint when it dried, and the color didn't even match my car.
Erick then told me the white shaded parts on the spoiler were paint trying to heal. And for it not matching my color (the color turned out lighter), he told me color sanding and buffing will bring that color darker to match my paint. I brought the spoiler to 2 places and they laughed at it and said to get my money back. That color sanding and buffing will not make the spoiler look any better.
I told Erick what had happened and I wanted a refund. There was no way I was going to have him and his friend touch my spoiler. Even give them the chance to repaint it, I believe that they f*cked up the first time and they can f*ck up a second time.
He is not giving my refund, so if you decide to have a mobile service help you. Make sure you watch out for this person (Erick Johnathan Samuels), he uses this email address erickjohnssf@hotmail.com and a phone# 415-571-9365. I can refer you to a couple places that will do great bodywork paint and repair.
Once again, beware of this person name Erick Johnathan Samuels and his friend Sonny. Erick drives an older camaro that has a 305 engine and the color is blue.

Just received an email from a women which had her car f*cked up by the same people. Below is the email she wrote me....
Hey,
I have been tracking down these basterds who ruined my car. They are nuts; Eric's last nameis actually Johnson and he lives in South San Francisco. I am a women and they totally f*cked up my car and Eric refused to give me a refund. I think he as some sort of mental issue. I think he does this all the time. I met both he and Sonny. They need to be stopped from doing this. They have no idea what they are doing. I wish somebody would have posted this kind of ad sooner and I could have avoided making the same mistake you did. Good looking out for other people who might run accross there ad. Can we do anything about these butt holes?
As you can see that I am not the only person these guys have f*cked over and need to be stopped. With some help from you guys of course. Do what you can, before they mess up someone elses camaro (or just there car in general). Thanks everyone!

if your in nor cal. (namely the sacramento,roseville and surrounding cities) do NOT buy any car let alone a SS from " atayas motors" or "cost u less cars". the 2 guys are MANNY and ALI. they will bullshit, i bought my car from them and it ran fine for 2 WEEKS. thats it. past that 2 weeks. i had to come outta my pocket with 3 grand just to keep my car running. they have a family that has alot of car dealerships so dont go to any car dealership on auburn blvd in roseville.

contact the Better Business Bureau and the Bureau of Automotive Repair. It will make thier life a hassel and they will try and mediate the problem. Plus the BAR will investigate them. I went through this about a year ago.

I had an incident similar to the paint thing. Ok without stereotyping we all know that hispanics have great talents at painting cars....well my truck got smashed and I was approached by, what I thought was, a hispanic fella. Good talker...talked me into letting him do my work at a discounted rate....they were gypsies and it turned out horrible. Greed will get you shabby work too....he was letting me off on the deductible. Never again.
