Warning.. Bill's Auto Body Repair ,Yuma

I was sitting in my motorhome at the Paradise Casino in Yuma when 2 guys (one was bill) approached and said they could fix the scratches and a small ding I had on the rear bumper. 30 years experience in body work ( I should have asked what kind of body!) they said and their work speaks for itself. We agreed on a price that was expensive but better than other quotes that I had had. Off they go to get the paint and come back with spray cans and about an hour later they are finished. Pretty fast so I think. I go out and I can't believe the absolute s@*t job they had done. No prep, no masking,no primer ,no nothing. Colors were totally off . Tiger stripes everywhere. Overspray on tires and on everything. I just had to wait two weeks and polish the work and it would look perfect. What did I expect for 1000 bucks? I said that the work they did looked like I did it and told them I was not going to pay 1000 $ for that. We argued back and forth for a while until D/W cams out and said we are not paying for that (I won't say what she said!!) job....go home. I gave then 100$ ( I don't know why) and sent them on their way.

So if you are at the Paradise or Q Casinos and possibly on nearby BLM land and "Bill" shows up save you money and say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't mean to demean you, or be to critical, but I would NEVER allow two strangers who approached me in a casino parking lot work on my coach!

Even if I did, as soon as the SPRAY CANS came out, I would chase them away. Their work may be fine for railroad cars on a siding somewhere, but a motor coach?!?

I hear you and I don't take offense by your remarks. I really don't know what I was thinking or what I was "smoking" when I said yes. Fortunately the next morning I had some MEK and was able to remove it all so the coach looks 100% better now.
