Same experience as all other disgruntled customers no paint no one answers the phone or reply to emails.
Requested a refund but not holding my breath. Stay away from this dodgy outfit.
If you are reading these reviews I guess its too late.
Same again takes the money but no goods, writing to trading standards please do the same
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. TAKEN MY MONEY BUT NO GOODS.
I phoned emailed no response.
I CAN ILLAFORD TOLOOSE MY PENSION MONEY.
SO TAKE NOTICE DONT LOOSE YOURS.
I ordered paint on 12th February 2014. No paint despite 'must have got lost in the post, we will send another' twice. Now sold the car using local shop paint costing £4.95.
Reported by phone and email to Trading Standards and eventually emailed that it had to be referred to Citizens Advice Bureau. 6 weeks later no response from anyone.
AVOID! They are there to rip you off. Cannot the Trading Standards stop this man, there are there to help the public in situations like this.
I ordered paint 0n 7th April 2014, money taken immediately by WorldPay but still waiting for paint nearly 4 weeks later. They don't answer phone, just has a message saying emil them and they will answer within 24 hour! Emailed them several times over the next three weeks and each time they eventually replied saying the order would be dispatched shortly. Eventually they stopped answering. Still no paint. Have demanded a full refund but don't hold out much hope. Treat this Company like the plague, they appear to be running a scam. I suggest the fraud squad should investigate them.
This company can't be trusted! I placed my order 15 Mar '14 and they took my money. I had my order confirmed by email on 17th Mar and was told "Delivery should take no more than a couple of days but please allow at least 5 working days for delivery". I waited a week, nothing arrived. I've tried emailing and phoning them and cannot get anyone to reply. Judging by other peoples reviews and experience of this outfit (which I was gullible enough not to read) they should be taken out of business by the Scottish Trading Standards who I am about to inform. Just don't buy from them!
TWO WEEKS LATER:
Fair's, fair as they say! Following my former review of Car Paint Repair I have today received a refund of my money but I make no apology for my single star rating of them simply because of their abysmal communication with (what is) every company's source of income - their customers!
AVOID***Order placed 26 Feb, advised shipping shortly on March 3rd. Nothing by the 8th, sent e-mail & got reply stated it had been sent, allow a few more days. Nothing by the 14th so mailed again, no reply. Still nothing today 21st, asked for refund. I guess that is my money gone!
Not only did CarPaintRepair said the wrong colour paint, they also never sent the correct one as promised. WARNING - They do not exact match consistently. WARNING - They mis-sell, this is against the law.
The only way to highlight this company failures is to complain to Trading Standards - *******@westlothian.gsx.gov.uk - he knows all about them.
My paint has not arrived and like the other reviews carpaintrepair.co.uk is not responding to my mails or answering its phone.
Avoid.
Ordered paint for my car on the 30th of june, its now 18th of july still not recieved it. Telephone them but its always an answer machine, emailed them several times which they have ignored. I contacted office of fair trading, which advised me to check with company house, surprise, surprise, they are not registered was advised to report them to Action Fraud (*******040) which work alongside of the police. They are now investigating. Would advise everyone to ring this number, now i am hoping my bank can recover my money
Two weeks so far. Many emails eventually got the response that they have sent my order, but if it doesn't arrive, I should get in touch.
It's almost as if they think it might not arrive...
Why are they in this business? It can't be much fun for them fielding all these problems.
I have read all the bad reviews, but in thier defence i found they did exactly what they said on the tin. Tim.
Please do not review if you areOrdered some paint and got excuse after excuse, its now 3 weeks and more bull from this horrendous company, family illness was the latest, going to contact watchdog now, AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE - LIES, LIES, LIES affiliated or have a conflict of interest with this website.
Same as other here ordered some stuff, they took my money and haven't sent anything two weeks ago (Supposed to be next day) not answering emails or phone messages.
I orderd some touch up paint on 13-1-13.It took 4 weeks to turn up. After lots of e mails and unanswared phone calls.
Same complaint as everyone else. 2 weeks on, several emails and eventually a refund. DO NOT USE this awful company. I wish I had read these reviews earlier.
Ordered some touch up paint and waited, and waited, and waited. Finally afeter 9 days it turned up the wrong colour. Emailed and foned, no reply. Dont waste your money. In the end I went to http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/ Perfect colour match and great service. However if you have been burned by this or any other company get your money back. Get intouch with your bank and ask about CHARGE BACK on your debit card, Credit card may be different so contact them. It does not have to be above £100 for you to do this. You must write to the compay recorded delivery and ask that they return your payment. Give them 31 days, if no joy get the bank involved. They will get it back for you through Charge back. You are protected under law when buying of the internet under the 'Distant selling regulations'. Be informed! They have stolen your money, so get it back..
6weeks of waiting and no paint- took my money quickly enough but no reply to emails or phone calls- am pursuing thru credit card and will be calling trading standards and every classic car club I know
Sent the wrong paint, they do not answer phone or Emails I rec'd what is obviously their standard email "Hi Thanks for your email. We check and respond to our emails as often as we can. For an instant response please call us on ******* *******. (Call answered Mon-Fri 10am till 2pm then 2.30pm till 5.00pm) Many thanks CarPaintRepair" have been phoning at the times given for nearly 3 weeks. It is obvious I'm going to have to try other methods that is if they are still in business?
Money taken a couple of days after the order sent. Paint arrived 5 weeks later! Had to pay excess delivery charge although I paid for delivery already. Never answer the phone or reply to emails. Save your money and frustrations - go somewhere else!
