Aero Car Parts (F-) (Worst Service) - Click HERE for Original Thread

rage_rman
Well what to say.

I have had the worse experience with Aero Car Parts. I took my car there on Aug 10 and they had my car for a day. I was told that they had a shuttle service (cool right). So the cab rides cost about $20 both ways. When I was off work I called Rick and he said come down It would be done in 30 min as I had an appointment to have my front windshield done @ 4:30pm. So after waiting longer than 30 min they said I could take my car @ 4:40pm. So now I am late for my appointment. Anyway I drop the car off at Brite View Glass to get the windshield done. They says hey who did your tint. I told him. He then starts to point out some big defects. So I call Rick back right away and ask about these. He tells me the glue is not set so it will look like that for a bit. He also says bring it back and we will take a look at it. Fine. So I head back on Monday and he looks at it. He tells me that most of it can be heat gunned out. I say look there is huge marks. Pics Below. So he agrees to redo it on Wednesday. So I agree.

First Try





SECOND TRY

Ok.. Now I drop the car off @ 7:30am and Wednesday. I do not hear anything from them till I am in a cab on my way back to the shop. Rick calls and asks why I didn’t call him. Well I have 2 jobs and have to work @ 5:30pm, and now he sounds a little angry that he has to pay for another cab. So I show up and he says 1 ½ hrs and It will be good to go. So ok It will be good to go for 6. No problem. I will call in and tell them I will be late. So after waiting till 6:15 Rick comes out and tells me the car isn’t ready because the Back curled. Well ya.. No I am not going to make my shift at all. I’m not rich and cannot afford to loose shifts left and right. He says he can drive my car out to best buy when it’s done and I say no. I don’t want anyone to drive my car. He also says he can leave it outside. So I ask him if he will be responsible if it broken into, and he says no. Well no I am looking at leaving outsider or picking it up tomorrow. Well I am heading out of town in the morning. He also says he will not pay for my cab to work that he will only pay for me to get home. It’s 6:30pm and I have to be there by 7 to actually get a 3hr shift. So fine what do I do. I told him just to leave it outside. I made it to work 1min after 7:00pm so I was ok. I get there at 11pm and get my car so I can’t see anything. About 2 days later I took a close look at the windows and was amazed that is was worse than the first time. I mean it was so bad. ANYONE who was at the Alberta Meet say how bad the first one was. Pics Below.

So now I am really angry. I also notice that there are no screws in where the trim should be held. No screws insight. I also notice that a utility knife or something has cut a huge scratch in the window.. I didn’t mention this to him because I was already angry when I showed him the second time. Also some of the trim wasn’t put back. Also the windows seem to not bee on the track. I can move the 2 front windows and the left rear windows back and forth ( shitty ). I also noticed that a screw driver was used to pry some of the door trim off leaving a huge mark. Anyone who knows me I take great car of my car. I feel so used. Pics



rage_rman
So after Rick comes out and looks at it he says most of this can be come out with a heat gun ( same freaking line ). He says he can have his guy look at it. But he is not there. SO he says I can bring it back. I tell him give me a second. So I think It over and think about. I walk back in and say ``can I get my money back`` and he replies with a no. He says bring It back and he will make it right. I said no, you have done this 2 times already and you can’t get it right. He then said he didn’t want to argue about it. I just walked out. So It is going to cost me $185 to get this shitty tint of my car and then $350 to get it redone at some one else. I am out $310 and Rick is being an ass. I just want my money back. Now you might think this is a 1 off problem. So I called my buddy Graeme (Nissan Versa) and ask If I can come by and take some pics of his versa to see what it looks like. ( Also done by Aero Car Parts ). OMG I could not believe what I found. His tint was pealing and it was bubbled so bad in some place. I cannon t believe they are still doing this. He was recommended thorough Erikson Nissan and I am amazed the dealer let this fly. Pics









Ok.. Now I am really pissed. I will be sending Erikson Nissan a letter say I am very angry that they recommended this place to me. I am amazed they refer a shop that does this kind of work. I also amazed he didn’t seem to care that I was a N-E-C-C member when he is so well known in the Nissan Community. One thing that also makes me mad is when I said that they couldn’t do a good job he points to a BMW 5 Series and says he does hi end cars like that. Well sorry I didn’t know my base model Sentra doesn’t get the same treatment. It makes me so angry. Now I will never recommend them to anyone ever and I will not be doing any business with Erikson also since they always recommend him also. I was going to buy my next Nissan thought them (which is soon). I will also be emailing this to every paper, and the trouble shooter. Aero Car Parts is a RIP OFF!!! I hate bashing a company that is a forum sponsor but they treat me like I know nothing and they can just walk over me.

Sorry for the long ass rant. I hope you all take the time to read this.


I Just Want My Money Back!!

shitty deal man, i highly recomend malcoms. i too am extremely picky about my car and where i leave it but i was comfortable leaving it in their capable hands. in one day for $310 they removed my 15yr old purpleish baked on tint from the back windows and tinted all 5 and did an excellent job. i called and they said they were a little behind schedule but they stayed after hours to get my car done and done right the first time.

70newport
wow dude, thats some of the worst shit i have ever heard of,

i thought i had it bad when my sensosrs kept getting replaced by the goys up at Midtown and they kept just making my check engine light go off for liek an hour and then it woudl come back on, luckely the car got written off so i never have to deal with those idiots again,

but thanks for the heads up on this place,

i woudl say make them pay for you to get it done right somewhere else and go to ziebart, i had really good success there atleast. hope it all works out though.

Gary

RangerMan
that sucks man

recommend European auto..did mine

Driven
Sorry you had that experience... take it over to malcolm's tinting and ask malcolm to do it for you. It will look good. Also.. i take some bmw's over there(aero car parts).. and i also haven't been happy with their work... just a heads up. Also.. whoever recommended you there.. had no idea what they were talking about. Imo.. take recomendations and references with a grain of salt.. alot of idiots around here.

Ziebart.. LOL u gotta be fucking kidding. :lol:

I have had awesome luck with super tint and the reason I wanted to try them out is because they are recommended out the ying yang on our site and through Erikson. But he is refusing to refund my money. I don't want to take my car back again. 2 times is 1 to many

I would personally go off. You came in with cash and you told him your standards and he still fucked it up. DEMAND your money back and get him to pay for your damaged interior. I had a customer walk into my work and he got work done at a&b sound... and they fucked it up.. and now are paying for thousands of dollars in repairs on his vehicle.

If i'm keeping my car it will be getting mine done at Malcom's

Ryan, I can't believe how poorly you were treated, I felt a little sick just after reading this.

Eriksson recommends Aero because Aero does all of their spoiler, tint, and car starters. It's a business relationship, of course they are going to recommend them.

Ryan, go back and DO NOT let them get away with it. Never have I ever seen anyone who has had tint lift like that before. EVER, even with the cheap shit. It seems the window tinter is very poorly trained.

Point out the fact that you do not want to give them the chance to fix the problem because of all the damage done to the vehicle. Get any amount of money back that you can, whether it be 50% or 100%.

Stick with the recommended places like Malcoms, Garage Works, or Super tint.

Inzane
Well rage_rman, I hope you can go back and somehow work this out.

But I got to say, I've known Rick for ~10 years and he's a great guy. And to bash him publicly on multiple forums (yes, I've seen your two posts on NECC as well) like this is just not cool.

It doesn't sound like you've given them the chance to resolve this completely yet.

Rick is the former GM of Ericksen Nissan and so of course he is highly regarded at the dealership still. Ericksen has never been the same since he left... that dealership has been going steadily downhill ever since.

Cyanide Ride
Yep, I've known Rick for a good 10+ years as well and I find it hard to swallow, but to be fair, we haven't heard everything.

I think what is happening is that Ryan has quite a tight schedule. I can sympathize because I have walked down that road before and you can't be flexible for anything if you depend on those paychecks.

If I pay money, I expect to see a good job done, period. You could probably find someone more particular than me, but you'll have to go a long way to find him/her.

One thing I've learned to date, is my time is my time and my time is valuable only to me, my wife and family, noone else will care about it.

I'm guessing Rick did not fully understand the complications of Ryan's timetables and his window tinter needs help and/or training.

But I must say, that is a pretty poor job. It doesn't look like the windows were cleaned properly.

makes my tinting decision that much easier!

You know what Jason I tried to be nice and take it back a second time. They did an even worse job. What do you want me to do? I even told Rick at his shop that people told me he is awesome to deal with. His response was he has spent $120 in cabs for me and that he does car like the 5 series he pointed to.. This just made me angry. He keeps saying the same thing to me every time. If it was my car then I would maybe take it back but to see a worse job on my friend’s versa that was taken there by the dealer and was sold to him in a pealing state is just appalling. I cannot believe anyone has caught this. The reason it's on both forums is because he should not be aloud to walk over people like this. Maybe he is nice to you. But he turned very unpleasant when I asked for my money back . He has been annoyed every time I have taken a cab. Sorry Mr. Rick. I start work @ 8:00am every day till 4:00pm then off to my other job which is 5-5:30 – 11:00. I work about 35 hrs a week at both jobs. I don’t have time to wait at the shop. Plus being completely lied to about the progress of the car? I was told 30min – 1hr both times and was late because it took longer both times. I’m not one to ever post on any forums about crap like this but I truly feel I have been ripped off here. Rick keeps saying he will make it right.. Well in 2 try’s you have gone from worse to worse. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK. I will delete these posts if I can just get my money back.

Xtra_X
I wouldn't delete them. This happened and people should know it happened. If he comes about at fixes the situation to your approval then say post it.

You are the customer. He needs to make you happy, regardless of reputation or experience. If He/Aero Parts can't make you happy now, it's your responsiblity as a consumer to voice what happened.

gab
it is unfortunate that you had a bad experience. but in aero's defence, he sub-contracts tinters to come do the tinting. often in a rush and/or late. to say that they are not good tinters or are poorly trained is odd to me. considering the places others are recommending or the places recommended on this board happen to be where the tinters are from. rick is the fairest person i have ever dealt with in this industry PERIOD. and i realize you are upset, but he already paid the tinters to do the car, so he has them redo it. and if there was damage that was in fact caused by the tinters, it will be taken care of.

You're fucking kidding right? If a shop didn't give me my money back for royally fucking up a job like that, I'd be posting it everywhere too!

Why should someone else have to go through this bullshit?

95IntegraRS
A long time ago, I took my Integra to Aero Car Parts to get a wing and front lip installed/painted.

I can sympathize with your situation because the paint flaked off and chipped within 3 weeks. When I took it back, they basically told me to go fuck myself.

This place is a joke. Plain and simple. Stay far, far away from them. There are much better shops to deal with in this city, especially when it comes to tinting.

Take your car to E-Z Motorsports, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about their tint jobs.

Yup.

My thoughts on EZ are known, but the one thing they can do is tint.

diesekiel
YOU LOVE CAPITAL LETTERS!

rage_rman
The versa was done by you and was recommended through Erikson. My car was recommended through Erikson. That’s what they have to do with it. I have asked my friend about it and he doesn't have a receipt because Erikson paid to have it done on his new vehicle. Why can't you give me my money back? I'm not happy with your service.

With grammer and caps like this it make me think if Slezzy and Aero share the same education.

Blaine B.
I don't know the whole story but from what I can see, Rick paid for your cabs to work and back a few times, that in itself is going above and beyond in my books.
Rick also seems to be standing behind his work and offering to redo it time and again, given the chance until it is right.

Now you want your money back on top of the money already spent by Aero to cab you around? This in addition to the loss on materials and labor already invested.

It seems like even if you got your money back you wouldn't have a good thing to say about Aero. Seems like a lose - lose situation.

Prudz_lude
^ why should someone keep giving their time when they need to work to a shop that apparently can't fix it the second time around? They just keep fucking it up. I wouldn't care if they paid for my cabs, its their fault they keep fucking up the tint.

rage_rman
They did more than the tint. But I am trying to work this out with Rick as we speak. So hopefully this will end positively.

TrevorK
I think this thread has reached the limit of it's usefullness.

If you resolve this issue, please post another feedback thread with your results.
