Default Any experiences with DTM autobody?

Was wondering if anyone have used DTM autobody in El Monte before and how was your experience?

Looking to get my GFX kit paint and install...

Thanks!

Don't go there. They do crappy work and they will treat you like garbage. No customer service whatsoever. After you tell them you're unsatisfied with their work, they will charge you more to fix it. Just stay away!

They have to prep it, primer then paint, then let it dry for a couple of days.

Yeah but even cheap shops can give you good customer service. David from DTM accused me of trying to cheat him out of money and called me a liar. That's the manager of the place too. If I could keep one person from going through what I did with this post, I would be happy.
