This place is not what it used to be. Last year I took my truck in for rustproofing and undercoating. It is important to mention that when I dropped the truck off, I was VERY specific in telling them to do the best job possible and that if anything above and beyond was needed, to just do it and charge me. I told them to "do the job as if it was their personal vehicle, but I was paying the bill." They called me and told me it was ready for pick up, so I came and got it. Upon getting home and doing an inspection, I found overspray... and I'm not exaggerating here... EVERYWHERE. All over the body, on my running boards, exhaust, turbo, starter, engine, shocks including the shaft, wheels, tires... everywhere. I spent 3+ hours and 2 gal of mineral spirits cleaning my truck up and still couldn't get the excessive overspray off of everything on the underside. When I told them about this, the owner stated that he could have taped / masked stuff off, but that there was an extra charge for that. I reminded him of what I specifically told them when I dropped it off. I also told him that mentality was backwards. One should start with doing the job properly and charging whatever it takes to do so. Then, if a customer balks at that price, you can take extras off to accommodate them, not the other way around. He also told me I could have brought it back and they would have cleaned it up. I told him that most of the overspray should never even have happened in the first place, it was egregiously sloppy work, and even if so, I shouldn't have to. It should have never even been pulled out of the shop in this condition. It should have been cleaned up and ready to go before calling me to tell me it was done and I could come pick it up. I told him I was so disgusted with the work that was done, my trust in them had been broken and I had no desire to allow them to touch the truck again at that point to clean it up. A year later, I took the truck in today for the annual inspection and touch ups and was actually eager to give them a second chance. I explained to the same owner who I was and about the issues I had last time. He, again, gave me every bs excuse he could think of instead of just owning it. I gave him a solution to every single excuse he gave. He then told me again about his "do the job right" upsell with taping / masking I mentioned above, but stating that even with that, there still may be overspray everywhere. I gently reminded him of the flaw in that mentality. We ultimately agreed that he was not going to be able to fulfill my expectations. I wish them the best, but I will not be returning to the W Lansing Ziebart under this ownership and can not in good conscience recommend them to others. This is just not the standards I think of when I think of the Ziebart name, and it's a far from what was expected of us when I worked at this very location years ago. Ziebart used to have standards and if they still do, I'm sorry, but this owner is far from living up to them. read more
