Don't trust Benjamin Devendorf at Cali Car Wraps! (https://www.facebook.com/Calicarwraps?fref=ts" rel="ugc" target="_blank">http://<a href="https://www.facebook...ps?fref=ts</a>) So After one month, this is what is happening to the wrap on the front bumper! Ben at Cali Car Wraps said he would fix it, he said he had a 2 year warranty now he is denying everything. More info in the comments section.

I just want all of you to know so that he doesn't take advantage of you the way he took advantage of me.

I gave the guy a full month to warranty the work. Which I understand you guys may say you get what you pay for but I did pay for the 2 year warranty as posted in the picture above. So he should warranty the work to get it right. Which he did not and that is what this is about. He constantly hangs up on his customer everytime I call. This shows his level of maturity, and shows a man that does not go by his word.

Go forward for the lawsuit and have the judge decide whether you get your money back or he redoes the work. Good luck, its painful to see what crappy/shitty work he does.

There is no way I'm letting him touch my car. He had that chance. He chose not to take it.

"What do you expect for $1,500"

I would expect the work to be done right. Don't take the money if you are going to do half-ass work. And don't claim a 2 year warranty when you are unwilling to fix your half-ass job. You probably could have paid him $3k and it would still look like shit.. The guy is a fucking hack.

Exactly. He definitely doesn't have the skills to do this work. If he had the same attitude when I was first talking to him about it, I would never have taken it to him. He is also not paying taxes on the money he is making from this business.

With the way those cuts look I would be more worried about the paint underneath and that he didn't scratch up your paint.

I would say everyone should leave bad reviews on their facebook but its a community page not a business page so you can't leave reviews...

https://www.facebook.com/Calicarwraps/timeline

Maybe everyone just comments that the guy doing the wraps tried to touch you

Hahaha. I definitely welcome the assistance. He shouldn't be allowed to work on these expensive cars...hell I wouldn't even pay him to wrap a gift!

Hilarious that he is still using a photo of your car on his page too. Seeing this makes me angry. Hope you take him to court. You should make a habit of posting this thread on his facebook page so no one else makes the mistake of getting a wrap with him.

IMO, the "you get what you pay for" argument doesn't apply here, seeing as you paid for the two year warranty. File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and anywhere else you can. There are so many honorable car wrappers that a little bit of badmouthing would go a very long way. Good luck, OP.

Edit: and keep posting your pictures to his Facebook page

Hahaha. Yup paid for a two year. So why didn't he honor it? Already have a small claims going. Although the the city of Modesto moves slowly

Haha. Yes I wish I had that time. If anyone wants to offer posting the thread to other car pages please be my guest

My son just demands a lot of my time these days that's why I'm always busy. 2 year olds are demanding. Hehe. He's worth it though. Unlike this Benjamin guy that is literally the worst person I have ever done business with.

What can a person do you know? I just wanted others to know so you guys don't fall into the same dishonesty.

His logic is hilarious. Telling people he's good at wrapping cars, rather "purposely f*cked his sh*t up," as if that'll give new customers peace of mind

I mean he says I'm gay, but I'm not, so bad assumption on his part, but apparently he has something against homosexuals too...I'm In the process of filing small claims. Benjamin Devendorf did this to himself. And I'm sure homosexuals will not take their cars to him either. Because of that statement on Facebook against homosexuals. This guy is all sorts of destruction to his own business and self image. He doesn't need any help on that front. One thing he is actually good at it.

He is talking less...Should I say "people" are giving him less BMWs because of my post. In time I'll try and post my experience to other car forums. Just so people will be protected. He also slices the paint with a razor blade when he makes his cuts. People won't see it until the wrap is removed. And a persons work should speak for itself. You shouldn't have to state that you are good at your job. The job should speak for itself. If it doesn't, then you aren't good.

I take it this idiot watch a few how-to videos on youtube and figured he could do it without any real hands on training from an expert.
