Car Cosmetix
Bare with me this will be a long review and il need to edit it a few times putting everything in correctly but its a must as i need to ensure nobody from this forum ends up out of pocket
Following on from the open recommendations online for carcosmetix (i say open as i had pms later about how bad some of the work they have done is) i chose them to fix and paint the rust scabs that had developed on my e39's sills and archs so i contacted john very nice guy who had great feedback so seemed a no brainer so i left the car in with him roughly a month ago and victor (guy that works there took the job on) this was work being done both sills and both rear archs

Attempt no.1
This was how i recieved the car back il let the pictures do the talking on this cowboy job,now remember this was after they had painted it hard to believe i know

So this was a disgrace onto to phone siad nothing on the forum and gave john the benefit of the doubt and a chance to correct it as i know everyone has the odd off day he siad no problem bring it back out
So i drop the car out again leaving myself without a car for the day
Here is attempt 2

Its better and going in the right direction but wait whats this ? Unbelievably bad finish on the rear archs with terrible orange peel and the bits of rust on the sill behind the liner just painted over which average joe probably wouldn't notice

So at this stage i went public on the forum and decided the car wouldnt be going back near them but listened to the majority and did finally in the end decide to go back a 3rd time against my better judgement
Attempt no.3 (fixing the orange peel)
I drop the car in its absolutely pissing rain but they only need it for an hour so i hang around it rolls out looks much better the orange peel is 85/90% gone im happy im in the car and gone i go out this morning to get a few pics and wipe down the dirt and and residue left behind from fixing the orange peel etc and what do you know little bits of rust are appearing on the arch again already un fucking believable
Orange peel gone car looks good from 2-3 feet away

Thats my experience and review on car cosmetix

RE: Car Cosmetix
That's appalling work, obviously can't be bothered with the simple task of treating the rust before painting it.

RE: Car Cosmetix
Jesus christ gar that's a load of bollix, God knows what it's going to be like in a few months, sorry for your waste of time and money, any chance of them refunding any money?
-
Car Cosmetix
Ah Gar that's unbelievable. Even my rust repairs despite being rushed and not using 2k primer lasted a few months before any bubbling showed again and at that it's very slight.
Shocking workmanship, sorry for your troubles.

RE: Car Cosmetix
All three attempts are shockers. How these places stay in business when outputting work like that is beyond me.

I kind of imagine these lads mostly do crash repairs for the average joe and for them this level of workmanship is fair enough but I don't they are ready to carry out top notch work to a level most of us here would be hoping for

im sure i could go down the small claims route and win but to be honest i haven't the time and quite frankly just couldn't be bothered iv already chalked it down to a bad experience and moved on the purpose of the feedback was just to make sure nobody else has to go through it
