We actually just want to know the name of the shop so other people could beware.
It's not nmotion is it. Because I have recommended them before

Maybe OP is afraid the other party will come on to give their side of the story, painting OP as a unreasonable customer.

REALLY!? Can you give us some examples or where these bad reviews are?

I recommend NMotion to many people, they previously did some work on my car (stuff that has since been removed due to changes), but I never really had an issue. Peter Gill was also always helpful and knew what the fuck he was talking about.

Havn't been there in the last year, I hope that the service hasn't gone to shit.

Tempted to close this thread.

Absolutely useless information.

OP needs to wax his car. My Z is covered in limestone and road salt from the worksite. I open and close the hatch 2-3 times a day. Zero scratches on the top of the trunk. I also lean on the rear bumper to grab shit all the time, and don't have a single scratch.

OP's detailer fucked him and probably didn't wax the whole car.

Seriously though. A simple layer of Wax makes a larger difference than you would think. Just ask your buddy Ken.

Post the shop's name. Or we're going to all assume you scratched it yourself, made a thread, blamed someone, realized you scratched it yourself, and now you're just going down your own rabbit hole.

You're saying the "tint overspray" AKA baby shampoo and water mixture got sprayed and got onto the bumper. Then when he wiped it it "might've" caused swirls in your paint? If someone was to wipe a bumper I would assume it's in one motion left to right, meaning it would'n't have left circular swirls. Circular swirls seem more like it would've been caused by a detailer.

Just my opinion. If you're not even 100% sure, and you accuse the shop and want compensation it just looks like you're some dude trying to pull a scam. That's how I would perceive it if you were my customer.

I had a client who brought in their "new" used vehicle, we did a check list but missed a spider crack in the paint because of the way the sun was shining on it but it was kind of obvious in certain light. He was 100% it was us, started making a huge fuss about it. He just washed his car recently and it "wasn't there". When I offered to pull up our video footage, he basically started to back down, then I made him watch a fast forwarded video. He didn't apologize, all he said was "Then why do you have a check list then?". R U FUKKIN SERIOUS?! Fucking cheap ass fuckers trying to hustle hard working people. Good thing for surveillance.

Too many stories to share.

Just don't fuck people. If you're not sure, just suck it up. If you're one of those SUPER OCD types, you should always convey that with who ever is working on your car. Go over the car with them and show them the paint is 100% with no swirls and emphasize not to wash/clean/wipe the car. Otherwise you just got to do your own work on your own car.

OP is useless, I'm just going to contact Larry Lee instead.
I know he isn't a shop, so therefore, I will be safe, cause it definitely wasn't Larry that did the tinting...

I usually take google and yelp reviews with a grain of salt. #1 most people, especially with car related things, are fucking retarded. #2 people who have a bad review are like 5 times more likely to share their story than the guy who went and had a positive experience.

But if yourself or someone you know have had a bad review well then fair enough. Do you care to elaborate on your experience, or you rather not share? Just cause if it's serious I don't want to be telling people to take their cars there.

I felt that Nmotion charged me too much + the tail light film they did on my STI was poorly installed, edges started to lift almost immediately as a result of how they were cut.

Granted this is only one experience, and it wasn't TERRIBLE, but there was obvious room for improvement, especially considering the price.

I would go back, but I would explain my expectations very very clearly. (Assuming their price was competitive)
