After a recommendation from a car enthusiast friend that said they did high quality work, I took my brand new and very expensive car (a 2012 Tesla Model S) to Rob Wagner Auto Body to have some paint corrections and detailing done. This was needed since sadly the vehicle had been improperly and hastily washed before delivery, resulting in many scratches in the dark paint, some more significant than others. Rob thoroughly reviewed the car, documenting each issue for a quote to back to the car manufacturer, and patiently explained to me exactly how he could repair each of the scratches and buff out any other imperfections, without requiring any repainting. I also wanted to apply a paint protection product (OptiGuard) and (re)apply a paint armor film that had been installed by the factory, which was also not perfect. Rob proposed to remove my existing film, correct the paint, detail the car and apply the OptiGuard product, a process that would take several days.
I was immediately impressed to see Rob Jr. that same day in several online forums, actively investigating the particular paint armor film and its interactions with the Optiguard product, and also documenting for me other detailers that had restored similar issues for other Tesla owners. He also proactively contacted the maker of my film for a local contact, in case there were any issues or concerns. Seeing this gave me the confidence to move forward with the project, and I am so happy that I did.
The original description of their work as being "high-quality" barely scratches the surface. These guys are not only consummate professionals, they are utter perfectionists. Don't let the modest appearance of their bustling shop fool you into thinking otherwise. The attention to detail throughout this process has been nothing short of astounding. Rob would give me at least one phone call or email each day, providing a detailed update on progress. Every step of their work was meticulously performed and thoroughly documented, as evidenced by a Dropbox folder he sent of nearly 300 digital pictures showing the before and after shots of each issue on every panel.
And the results are amazing. Every single scratch and imperfection in the car is completely eliminated, and the car looks literally better than brand new. The depth of the paint and the level of gloss are dramatically higher than the first day I received the vehicle off the truck. Rob even indicated that they were able to achieve better results than originally anticipated due to the soft properties of the clearcoat, and also that they had corrected quite a few items they encountered, that I had never seen originally. I could not be happier with the outcome...the car is simply flawless, from every angle.
But it doesn't stop there. I had to wait several day before the new protective film could be applied, during which time the car collected dust in my garage. Rob Jr. went out of his way to *come to my house* to re-inspect the OptiGuard application in direct sunlight, and manually polish out any spots he deemed imperfect prior to the application of the protective film. This was after the job was finished and paid for. On top of this, he will be doing some final application of product to gaskets on the doors after the film is applied.
This kind of follow-up perfectly demonstrates the level of pride they take in their work at Rob Wagner Auto Body. With impeccable workmanship and customer care beyond anyone's expectation, these guys have easily made me a satisfied customer for life. They have already detailed my wife's car (another spectacular job), and will be getting all my future body work and paint correction/detail work on my cars. Besides the quality of their work, they are incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with. I give them the highest possible recommendation, without any reservations whatsoever. read more
