August 2023 by Travis W.
In June of 2021, I brought my 1970 Barracuda to Jose and Sergio of Guasave Brothers Auto Body and Paint in Tracy for them to completely strip and paint it. In the beginning, they were fantastic. Car was stripped, body work done and painted in the 4 months that they promised. They referred my to a mechanic that works in the same shop as them to install my engine and transmission. They said that they would wait until the mechanical work was done before they would put all the panels on the car. Fast forward to June 2023. Engine and Transmission and other items done and ready for Jose and Sergio to put panels on, cut and polish. I was bamboozeled by them. It will be ready in 2 weeks. When I called them if it was ready, they told me another 2 weeks. They were busy with insurance jobs. They finally had the hood, fenders and trunk lid on and the car was cut and polished. The front and rear valances were not installed. I showed Jose some areas that needed to be corrected and asked him why the tail panel and grille wasn't painted silver as we agreed upon. Jose said he didn't promise a show car I had to talk to Sergio about the Grille and rear panel. Sergio told me, very Rudely, that he only said one color and he wanted another $1,000 to paint the rear tail panel and the front grille. I asked him why? He told me to the paint in before they painted and they would do it. I did as he asked. Brought 2 cans of special Silver Argent paint for the Barracuda. He said the contract never said that. He said he would send me an estimate via email. 2 weeks later, I brought the front and rear bumpers down to be installed. Car still not done. Brought my daughter down the next day because I knew they were going to be a problem. I showed Jose the spots that need attention and he got mad and said talk to Sergio. Sergio came out with me and when I showed him an area that needed attention! He flew off the handle! Got mad and started screaming, swearing at me, calling me names and told me to get the BLEEP off his property. He then said he was going to push my car out in their parking lot, with the extra parts and wanted it out of his BLEEPING shop. Then my Daughter took over and they spoke for a few days and I stayed out. My Daughter and them seemed to get things ironed out. Well, 2 weeks later, they told her today that it was going to take another 2 weeks before it will finished. Save yourself the headache and don't take your car here. In fact! They are in the process of changing their Business Name! Twin Towers Auto Body or something like that. I wonder why!
