Jay ("I just go by Jay" - or "Stephen Ray Gaudreau", real name) who maintains he is the owner, took my 2016 Smart fortwo car, which was NEW, and explained the car would be tied-up about 4 weeks, a month. I planned for this. He ended up keeping the car for (3) THREE MONTHS "customizing" the car to include new stereo, dip colours, "wing doors", and a variety of other custom work. The cost was $5k. I put $3,800 down (check to Gaudreau) in advance of completing work. With my car tied-up for three months (honestly, I was desperate to have all the customizing done) I had to rent a car during this time at, of course, additional expense. "Jay" and I agreed to a price reduction of just the $3,800. He was also unable to supply the gull-wing doors, and this cost was removed. As I drove the car, things began to go wrong; the stereo wasn't working, the lighting was intermittent, the base component stopped working. When I spoke with Jay, he apologized. He told me he had different aspects of the customization done by far less experienced people he "farmed the work out to." This didn't fix the situation and I threatened to hav e my attorney contact Jay. Jay pleaded with me to not go this route. He told me his girlfriend was desperately ill, that his mother was desperately ill, same of someone else in the family. It was clear to me as much as initially liked Jay, he was largely INCOMPETENT. I took my car to Autosonics in Highland Park, IL. They first repaired the wiring Jay did which was literally hanging from the car bottom, dragging on the ground. A NEW Stereo was required, complete re-wiring, and a host of other reparations to make my car whole and fall in line with Mercedes expectations to not void my warranty. This was ANOTHER $5k. The car was $17k new. Mario, the owner of Autosonics, pout together several videos of what he found of Unique Dips work, so gto justify and advise me why the cost was so high to make it all right. This is a link to one video regarding "wiring": https://youtu.be/7gjwmECk4xM. It's called, "2016 Smart fortwo RUINED by Unique Dips." Mario said he had "never" seen such poor workmanship in his twenty years in business. I want everyone, regardless of your experience with Ray, to know MY experience with Unique Dips. I have a copy of a phone conversation where Ray/Jay admits his offenses in this matter, a text exchange in which Jay/Ray plead for mercy from me, and a handwritten note from Jay/Ray to pay me $500 in "regular" payments until we were settled. Nothing EVER came. Please reconsider doing business with this company, this person, he is capable of destroying your vehicle as he nearly did mine. Mario at Autosonics has offered to advise anyone who would like to hear, the description of my car as it went from Unique Dips to Autosonics. read more

Getting my tint done at this place was an absolute nightmare! The first time I was there Javier tinted my side windows fine but screwed up on the back. He could not fit me in that day so I would have to come back after I spent 4-5 hours between driving/ waiting. He told me to come back the following Saturday and was an hour late for my appointment. Then I for some reason I let him do my front window after fixing the back. The problem was the shop is so dark so hard to tell if it looks good. So after that I left and immediately saw scratches in the front window as well as the back window. I went back and of course he couldn't do it as he had other appointments. So he tells me to come in Sunday and I remember he told me they don't work that day so I asked. Then he assured he would be there. I'll called Sunday morning to confirm he would be there as it's 45 minutes away from me and I told him this. After I talked to him confirming he would be there at 11 he texted me saying his tint guy wouldn't be there when he is the only tint guy.( Unfortunately) So I decided to get the shop owner Stefan aka Jay involved... he understood the problem then when I arrived he tells me they needed to take apart the back of my car to do the back tint right. Now this is my 3rd time coming out and he is just telling me this when he saw my car the 1st time. I couldn't believe it so I waited for 5 hours while Stefan took apart my car so Javier could tint my car the right way. Oh and apparently he has been doing tint for 6 years but it doesn't show one bit. So after he did the back tint the 3rd time and the front for the 2nd it looked like garbage. They completely trashed my car with how dirty they were never cleaned or the windows properly. I spent $175 on all windows and even tipped $45 and this is how I am treated??? I took them as a recommendation from a colleague but this is the worst experience if ever had. I told the owner how frustrated I was due to their mistakes and he says it's just tint. I couldn't believe he said that after all MY TIME WASTED and money. I would of paid a higher price if I knew the games this shop played. I will just live with the bad tint job as I do not want to waste anymore time money or gas to have them not take care of me. read more
