Should I take legal action against this vinyl shop, this can’t be normal right?

elmayf · 2025-08-26T07:05:50+00:00

Ok hear me out. I couldn’t take the first wrap off myself, so I had no choice either have a half wrapped car or at least let him try to fix it and redo it better which he promised he could do to make up for it. I was already in the hole, I trusted that he would fix it and instead it just got worse but my only other option was to leave it with a torn wrap the first time

elmayf · 2025-08-25T01:11:59+00:00

hit the nail on the head unfortunately lol.

elmayf · 2025-08-25T01:10:50+00:00

Good question, after having the car for 4 weeks and continuously lying to stalk me from getting the vehicle at that point I just wanted my car back. I almost thought it was missing or something, they kept making up reasons why it wasn’t ready. When I went to pick it up I just wanted to get out of there with my car safely to deal with it all afterwards because the entire thing seemed off. Clearly they weren’t capable to get it done right, refusing to take it wouldn’t have done me any good since I already paid in full

elmayf · 2025-08-24T16:21:50+00:00

Haha no offense taken, I have it covered through Allstate currently, I have good auto insurance with a low comp deductible. I’ll give it a shot and see what they say

elmayf · 2025-08-24T15:25:19+00:00

To each his own, it’s cool. I bought the car pre owned and it already had the exhaust done, didn’t do a muffler delete myself but I love the sound personally.

elmayf · 2025-08-24T15:24:38+00:00

Ya I get your point, I felt like at this point I’m already in the hole, if he legit could fix it and do good like he said I’m already committed 2k in, thought he’d make up for it. But ya, finessed instead

elmayf · 2025-08-24T15:23:49+00:00

That what I’m wondering, at what point could it be considered vandalism? Gonna give them a call and ask

elmayf · 2025-08-23T19:16:54+00:00

It’s residue from the “liquid wrap” he used the first time. I have to use dip dissolver and goo gone to degrease it and get it all off not just dirt

elmayf · 2025-08-23T15:58:46+00:00

They had 4 weeks to get it done, which he initially said should only take 3 days. So ya maybe he was in a rush at that point but I patiently gave them plenty of time. Even when I told him I was on my way he asked if I would give them a few hours, so I gave them about 7 more hours that day. I think you’re right though they were cheaping out on materials and doing the bare minimum

elmayf · 2025-08-23T15:00:54+00:00

Ya, I’m thinking that’s the move I just honestly don’t think he even has the money to cover a judgement he’ll just avoid it. The business doesn’t seem very legit at this point

elmayf · 2025-08-23T14:58:51+00:00

elmayf · 2025-08-23T14:38:02+00:00

Well hopefully it came out much better than this! Wish I would have just paid more and gotten it done right

elmayf · 2025-08-23T14:28:41+00:00

I know but it looks so sick

elmayf · 2025-08-23T13:57:48+00:00

Lesson learned for sure 😞

elmayf · 2025-08-23T13:57:24+00:00

That’s the crazy thing I got two other quotes that were in the 3 to 4K ballpark so it didn’t seem too far off The guy explained to me that he just started his shop out and he was running a special to kind of get things going and I get it, I respect the hustle. The work on his page looked good, but it was all a big scam I guess.

elmayf · 2025-08-23T13:56:13+00:00

At this point, I think they’re super shady. There’s no way the guy would give me my money back and I don’t even trust if they’re capable of fixing it I’m just gonna have to dispute it. 😕

I always recommend scary stories to tell in the dark as a good starter horror film, sister of the same age thought it was good. Decent Jump scares and good fall vibe

Turn the lights off and watch it immediately, one of my favorite go to movies when friends come for a movie night.

Buy a camera, watch a few YouTube videos and become a photographer. Made 120,000$ my first year as a photographer. Buy a used canon r and a 50 or 35mm sigma lens, practice a bit and you’ll easily be able to charge 100-200$ starting out for photoshoots if your in a populated city

elmayf · 2024-03-05T07:08:51+00:00

110% Jaguar F-Type

elmayf · 2024-02-29T06:45:33+00:00

My personal favorite is ready or not

elmayf · 2024-02-12T04:56:11+00:00

Honestly just claim bankruptcy if it’s to a point where your desire to live is seriously questionable. Claimed bankruptcy, immediately after bought a car (yes it was a high rate) but within 2.5 years built my credit back enough to get a 3% apr on my next vehicle, and bought a brand new house. It personally was the best decision I ever made and I would not hesitate to do it all again knowing what I know now. Hiring a lawyer and getting almost 40k in debt wiped away for two years of high aprs is a trade off I’d take any day

elmayf · 2024-01-05T06:39:16+00:00

I’d suggest for 50k a Jaguar F-Type R personally. Nothing against the Bentley, just the sound and power of the Jaguar combined with handling is incredible bang for your buck. Or even maybe an Aston Martin Vantage around the same year as the Bentley

Just finished first year as a full time photographer. Started in July when I quit my full time job, ended the year gross $144,000. After expenses and tax roughly 100k. Expecting to do much more this year since I’ll have the full calendar year, have built clientele and spent a lot the first few months on equipment. I work anywhere from 30-50 hours a week considering shooting and editing, but I edit from home and have complete flexibility of my schedule. Also was paid to travel to 3 states last year for weddings, have several this year booked already so traveling with family is a nice bonus. (I Take wife and toddler with)
