yo seriously that was still a ripoff

He told me to leave the wax on it for four hours, or even better over night. He then said he had to come back the next day to finish the job and get the rest of his$. When he said that I said to myself "I thought he had to work tomorrow?". He then asked what my heritage was. I said I was Greek. He said he was Romanian. At that point I knew I had been scammed. The word 'con' is short for 'confidence". He did gain my confidence and he got me. What a scum bag.

They gypsy scam happened to me a few weeks ago. He said he worked down the street at a legitimate auto body shop and he was off work that day. He said he had the tools in his car and he HAD to do it that day as the tools were going back to the shop the next day. He wanted $150 but I told him I only had $80 on me ( I actually had the $150). I had several spots of fading paint on my car and it took him about 15 minutes to basically sand and rub some wax like compound on my car.

It wouldnt be LA without Mexicans...
well the shady work was done not by Mexicans. We service several body shops in WLA, SM and MDR and only workers there are Mexicans. You can find really good craftsman there. It is not matter of who's is it, more likely each persons values and body shop manager how he influence workers.

the real rip off is you paying a wet back $40 for a days work in your shop and charging that lady $2,500 that's the real rip off

Michael,
seems like you have some knowledge about body work. You are right, Judie actually got estimate for fixing this mess from another body shop for over $2500. Her cost with us was bellow $1000. And it would be less if she doesn't have such a mess with her car at first place.
See, we as people need to know what we want, if you prefer to have car look like her before, you are welcome to hire unprofessional people. But if you looking for value quality and honesty, let professionals do it.
