I met Stan when I was driving my camper around the Convoy area, going door to door to get estimates for my Toyota Sunrader little RV. It lived in Scottsdale Arizona for 24 years and then when I brought it over to La Jolla all the little scratches and nicks turned to measles on the cab. The rust spots on the hood were so bad that it ate through the hood in many places.
I had to get a used hood from a salvage yard.
I got a price for $3995 from a business around the corner that I had good results from when they had the lowest bid on a job they did 10 years ago for my Corolla wagon. But now they were the main st expensive.
And then I got another bid for $1950 at a business in the same strip mall that I had previously gotten a really good price for insurance work before on my Corolla again.
Make sure you shop around because prices can be drastically different.
So I took the $1950 bid and I showed Stan, and after thinking about it a little bit he said he'd do it for $1750.
But Stan had just opened up his business only 3 months when I met him. But he said he worked in an auto body shop himself and was an insurance adjuster in that Convoy area for I think it was 15 years, and knows all the auto body shops
I saw his couple of unposted reviews which were five stars and I decided to give Stan a chance, and it worked out great. Go get many bids before you come see Stan.
Not only did he did a great job but he washed my RV twice with a pressure washer. It was all mildewed and he got that all off and they even put tire dressing on the tires because they were all faded before.
One thing he didn't do and I had to tell him was the mirror bracket still had all the measles on it and I said well what about this?
He said well we didn't discuss that. I said "well what we discussed was that he paint all the areas where you see all the rust spots, and of course , that would included the mirror bracket. So he complied and had his workers paint the rear view mirror brackets and they look great now.
Stan even replaced the windshield wipers because the metal was all flaking and severely falling apart.
And the antenna was all eaten and to the point that there was no antenna. He bought me a new antenna and didn't charge me extra for those parts.
Stan took me home and picked me up, too. I live over by UCSD.
He even gave me a referral to a mechanic who's shop is behind his shop. I met the mechanic who used to own a Toyota Sunrader at one time. read more
