Improper use of glue on door causing paint damage.

I'm really disappointed that I have to write this. I initially had a great experience with this shop, even leaving a glowing review. However, they now refuse to stand behind their work. I was in a vehicle accident almost seven years ago and was recommended this shop by a former co-worker.The person I originally worked with is no longer there working here, and now I can't even get a callback from the owner, who avoids responsibility. Recently, I noticed that the original door trim, which was held on by double-sided tape, started peeling and oxidizing. I decided to use a heat gun to remove it. On the passenger side, everything went smoothly.However, on the driver's side, where LOAB did the repair work, I discovered they had used a very strong adhesive to reattach the trim without consulting me. This wasn't communicated to me at the time. When I tried to remove the trim, it pulled off the paint and clear coat on both doors, leaving noticeable damage (see attached photos).I called LOAB, hoping they would stand behind their work, but each time I asked to speak with the owner, I was told he was too busy to call me back. Instead, the office staff informed me that they would not help, despite this issue being entirely due to their negligence and failure to follow industry standards.I have changed my 5-star review to 1 star because this shop is a scam. After 45 years in business, if they rely on poorly executed work and cutting corners, it's time to reconsider their practices. This negative review could have been avoided if the owner had any integrity and simply returned my call. It's pathetic to have office staff handle the situation instead of addressing it personally.

One clean Taco thanks to Los Osos Body Inc. !

Also called Bay Auto & Tire on L.O.V.R. in Osos. I had a new…read morefront end wobble @ 40mph and somewhat less noticeable at 75. Once upon a.... The car was defiantly pulling hard to the left once I let go of the steering wheel. That's what lead to the " I need an alignment" I made the call to Bear/Bay. Kevin greeted me and told me what they would do for basically $90. Ok that's about what I expected, he said the car should be ready in an hour. No sooner had I got in the door from the walk home the phone rang. Kevin says "it's worse you need a tire" He said the tread was separating from the core. Wow I drove nearly 900 miles on that tire. Kevin quoted me on some brand name tires but was more than I wanted for the "fix". So back to the shop, Kevin said after he had discovered the issue with the left tire tread separation he switched the left and right tires and the bad left tire now on the right side of the car made the car pull right. In a sense proving it was not an alignment issue but a tire issue, definitively. He could of course chosen another solution but he was truthful and that scores big with this Elite Yelper. I'll be back for an alignment when needed. Thanks Kevin foodguy-martin

Shady shady shady! These guys have been taking advantage of my elderly father who has brought our…read morevehicles to this place many many times since they took over. Last week he brought in our family van for some "new" tires and paid $600. Found out the manufactured date is October 2021. That same day we noticed the steering wheel would shake vigorously past 60mph. Took it back and was told it needed new front bearings for $900!!! Didn't seem right so we brought it to another shop and come to find out, it wasn't the bearings at all! These guys put a bunch of extra weights on our brand new tires which caused it to shake!! Got the tires balanced from a legit shop and now it runs smooth as it should! Come to think of it, we have 1 vehicle that no longer runs and two others with issues that these guys probably messed up! Thankfully nothing traumatic happened while driving our van with our children in it! Do not trust this business Los Osos!
