I'm being overly gracious by giving Sun Motors VW repair shop a 1-star rating.
My experiences with Bob and John at Sun Motors was HORRIFIC! I can't believe they are still in business. They held on to my classic Volkswagen for years, before I finally came down and drug it out of their shop. They also used my deposit toward other cars that they couldn't afford to finish- the typical borrow from Peter to pay Paul. What little work they did actually accomplish was so bad, I literally had to start over.
I would never recommend Sun Motors Body Shop to anyone. I ended up suing them in small claims court and won the entire amount of $7500.00, but never received a penny of it because they quickly closed out their business bank account and hid the money in another account, making it impossible for me to collect my money- even after hiring a professional collection agency.
I'm not the first to sue Sun Motors- check the public court records in Bellflower, California and see there track record.
Here are some red flags to look for if you are foolish enough to consider them.
* Is their shop clean and orderly? They lost many of my rare VW parts.
* Are they telling you they only accept cash? That's probably because your canceled check is proof of payment, which can be used in court as part of your defense.
* Are they operating with a legal business license? Last I checked, their Business license had expired.
* Does the shop have an actual business phone line, or are you having to reach them on their cell phones, which they conveniently avoid taking or returning your calls.
I hope this helps and prevents anyone else from being ripped off by these guys. read more
