UNIBODY COLLISION - HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

I did a horrible mistake choosing this shop. Do your google search as well, there are already bad feedbacks.

Here is the short story:

Dishonest person and poor job quality.

Paint quality: Spotty painting over the dust and unclean/unprepared surface.
There are remains of paint flow and drops at the parts edges.
Some part edges were not painted properly.
Few missed spots of rust that I was asked to fix.
There are remains of the paint at the windshield and even at the car interior.
Car was returned more dirty than I brought to him with pieces of dirt in the trunk and in the car.

Time: Sam Dobrovoljac promised the car will be ready in 2 weeks.
3d weeks he was feeding me up every day with promises.
Did the job only at the 4th week. For all this time DID NOT suggest any car loaner, compensation or discount.

Money: the amount of money was enough for real quality.

Mitchell estimation for work was done, but keep hidden from me.
When I saw and got it into my hands, Sam angry requested to return it.
When I asked for the proof of changed parts he sent me to dig in the garbage.

The reviews on their sponsor page here mention the same or similar problems you're having with this particular shop. Try also posting your review in their feedback thread and sponsor page.

Still very glad I didn't take my car to this crappy shop. Sorry to hear about this.

Damn...sorry for your experience. Sad to hear that things havent changed.

Ban unibody

I have a problem when someone joins TM3 just to post negative reviews. Do you even have a mazda3? As much as UniBody has been a problem to quite a few members, they should be able to defend themselves as long as they are still a sponsor. Now, we'll have to see if that even remains.

As much as I usually agree with first post reviews, this doesn't surprise me.

We'll see what happens with Uni-Body as a sponsor. They said they were going to step things up but obviously this hasn't happened.

It depends on how long ago this happened though. I remember after the last wave of negative reviews not too long ago, Uni-Body posted that they acknowledge the mistakes and are making changes. Well, did this incident occur before these changes or after? If it happened after, then I'd be a little worried...

Agreed, they have alot to atone for on this forum to get anyone to consider them as an option.

+1 I agree. Might be another body shop bashing this one. Who knows...

Considering he still only has 1 post, bashing a sponsor, it is very suspicious. Seems kind of like the Downsview Auto reviews....

you do have a valid point.
but it could also be someone from different forum who had terrible experience with Unibody. (could be other car forum like acura,honda, etc)
Maybe he/she just wants to spread the word to warn others.
It's up to the reader to judge.

as for me... why risk anything... go with SP who has pretty much 0 negative reviews.

^ exactly. Maybe they googled uni-body. The TM3 website comes up a couple of times when you serch them actually...

I'd be more suspicious if it was an exceptionally good review, especially after all the negative feedback they've been getting lately...

Lets just say I am more inclined to take feedback from someone on the forum who has built a reputation rather than someone who posts once to twice on the forum.

(beating a dead horse with the +1's :chuckle)

Wouldn't mind seeing pics of the work.

haha even just by replying to this thread.. and bumping up this thread = negative publicity for unibody.

let's just call it a day and lock it lol

yeah but no one with one post ever bashed Downsview Auto
only good reviews
i think OP is legit
Unibody has a bad rep and all the member know that

Yup. The only real question in my mind is did the OP have this crappy experience before or after UniBody said they were changing how they do things. Because right now the onus is on UniBody to prove to everyone that they've cleaned up their act . Which is going to be very, very hard as they will need people to actually entrust their cars to them -- I'd be leery about even going to them to get parts painted.

+1 seems reasonable to me, doesn't matter what car I drive, if I get burnt by bodyshop like this, I would want to spread on every car forum there is to prevent others from going theres
