Chris Advance Services

Absolutely terrible service. Was quoted a job at a reasonable price and we decided to follow through with using him. It took a week after first organizing him to paint the car just to come out and prepare it (half sand down the car, was never conpleted) then was told he had compressor issues. While he half sanded our car all he mentioned/bragged about how someone was trying to get a hold of him to paint a car leaving supposedly 60 missed calls and 100 messages, funny that, as she couldn't get a hold of him... which we found out was rather hard during our experience. A week later after the original prep work he said he would come out and spray the car. Once he arrived he then messaged my partner saying that he can't spray the car as cars are packed in the road, also stating that he told me what space was required, which was in fact not true what so ever. He then left and proceeded to be hard to get A hold of with countless of promises of getting the car done, which never happened. We also transferred him all of our money for the job besides the final $150 for materials which was fair, but having to have trust in someone with our money for multiple weeks was extremely unsettling. After this 5 week waiting process he asked to take the car to someone's house as he had a spray booth set up. We took the car there and it was completed within the day which we where extremely relieved about as the wait has finally finished. As we picked up the car it was parked undercover out of the sunlight so as we inspected the paint it wasn't noticeable of any imperfections. Also whilst checking over the car it was noticeable that one of the 3 random people lingering during this process was watching over us holding a pole, obviously an attempt of a scare tactic. When we left he continued to tell me all of the excuses of why he would never answer us and why the job took so long. Being a business which when we checked had relatively good reviews I would have thought he would take care of his customers and stay in contact instead of disappearing with no idea when our job would be completed. Once the car was home we checked over it in the sunlight to find multiple imperfections like dust and hair throughout the paint, air holes in the paint from where he hasn't bogged sections properly aswell as the colour match being slightly off. Within half an of us taking the car home we where spammed by messages asking to be assured the money would be sent, which was understandable in a way but 6 messages asking for money was abit over the top seeing we only just got the car home. We sent the money but due to the 5 week wait our savings for the paint repair had been dried up due to having to pay bills, which we used not knowing when or if the car was ever going to be done. We sent the last $50 And the same thing happened multiple petty messages about money being sent. All in all I would not waste my time dealing with him as you get what you pay for. He was terrible to deal with with a terrible product.
