Not happy at all with the work that was carried out on my VW T4!!
Paid 5000 for a full respray and repair on some rust patches on the wheel arches. At first looked really good then saw he 'forgot' to block the back wiper holes and had massive drips at the back, 8 months later had more rust and bubbles than when I started! And paint flaking off around windscreen! Took back for respray, again 'forgot' to do bubbles on bonnet so I had to take it off myself and take back again. Another 4 months later all the rust and bubbles are back again worst than the first time! Even got bubble on the plastic
