I waited two years to write this review to see how his last paint job that was the last straw for me would turn out.
I was bringing several projects each month to the body shop. one car they had to redo 3 times, I brought them my moms BMW X5 to have the front bumper, hood, and rear fender flares repainted because they had some rock chips, when I picked up the car I saw run marks, overspray in the wheel wells and under the rocker panels. The owner Emilio tried to say that it was like that already, luckily we had pictures from just a week prior of the car from having it detailed showing the overspray wasn't on the car, plus why would there be overspray on a vehicle that's never been repainted before? This last experience which was two years ago was the end of my relationship with E&M auto body because every single job they did for me there was a problem. Attached is picture of my moms X5 two years later, it's hard to tell but the color of each panel they repainted is yellowing and every panel is failing. The paint is bubbling and chipping off, looks way worse than the original rock chips ever did. I will now have to take the parts off the vehicle and sand them all the way down and repaint them. I will mention one one positive thing before I end my review. The bmw I originally brought to Emilio which started our relationship, which had to be redone 3 times before they got it right, it's holding up and still looks good today. So they are capable of good work but based on experience everything they normally do is rushed and or he's using cheap products, or the guys he hires which does the prep and finish work suck. I would say that anyone that's thinking of using E&M auto body to do work on their car is rolling the dice and taking a chance of either it coming out pretty good or turning out like shit.
Also would like to add that I take extremely good care of all my vehicles so it's not due to the lack of care on my part, they frequently get washed, waxed, and clayed when necessary. In fact Emilio was going to hire me to do the color sanding and finish work on cars at his shop. read more
