Mats Mechanical & Customs 20 Hurrell Way, Rockingham, Western Australia 6168

"Matt offers a painting service, but should stick to mechanics. By far the Worst vehicle painting experience i ever had. He took 6 months- indicating he had his own personal issues. I Felt sorry for him and waited it out. When ready, it looked like a person with little skills had painted it. The paint was substandard, very little prep work done, mixture from gun was wrong (dried prior to hitting panel in places), so bad it looked like it was painted with a roller then cleared over. In other key places ( bonnet, roof and boot) it was lacking paint, as if the paint gun was spitting and lacked coverage. The Paint was dull and damaged ( through to the undercoat) in places. He blamed a painter he contracted in and said he wasn’t aware it was that bad, indicating he was also quite angry with his painter. Matt just talks and talks, hardly lets you get a word in, and what he says is rubbish - for example- he said all silver cars look the way he presented mine in, but when shown another silver car in his yard with no such paint faults he became abusive, indicating he is “sick of bending over for c….ts”. Despite it being his business it seems he doesn’t quality check jobs- well he told me he never looked at mine and “trusted” his painter as he is “too busy”. To be fair to him, and try resolve the disaster they created, I gave him an opportunity to fix it- but when asked to repair the job, Matt ( the owner) became so irate he called me every name he could thing off that started with “F” and “C”, which deteriorated further with him stating if I didn’t pay today for it he would charge storage at $29 per day. After walking away and Giving him time to calm down, he did agree to repaint the bonnet and roof, but made no offer to fix the rest. By this time I had lost all confidence in him, did not want to be subjected to further abuse and I’d had enough of waiting ( 6 months is too long). I sold the car on his lot privately on market place to a third party for what it owed me. had I kept I would have lost money, as it would cost me thousands to repair What he had done. He charged me $4500, to which he had discounted $1000 for the 6 month wait. Very hard to get a invoice from him as well. I have been in the motor vehicle industry for over 21 years and had a lot of cars painted for around the same price and never experienced Such poor quality workmanship, or abuse. I would not recommend this work shop to paint vehicles. I cannot comment on his mechanical skills."

"This guys a joke. A legit joke. Instead of fixing the car he actually messes with it just enough so when it’s past it’s warranty it magically “falls apart” or magically has “metal in the radiator”"

"people do yourself a favour and stay well clear of him. he's bullsht and workmanship is second to none.could write a book.he had my classic car there was only meant to be 4 to 6weeks, a year later, i had enough got a tow truck and went and got it he gave me every excuse under the sun apart from breaking his little finger nail.never heard so much scrap in my life. towards the end he was getting very angry and started calling me everything you could think of. after getting my car back and either parts missing or broken. said he would post parts missing to me still waiting. going by how he keeps his workshop chance of finding anything is no chance. blames his workers for anything that is not up to scratch. got my car back only half painted. the nightmare begins to fix all the mess."
