I took our car to Esposito’s for a full paint and body restoration, and my experience was as bad as many others have experienced. Promises made, large deposit paid up front, excruciatingly slow work with lots of inaccurate or outright lies about progress. I would make visits to check progress only to find the things I had been told were done, had not been done. Ultimately the “completed” work was very poor quality. I was told all along the car would be perfect, and when I got the car it was completely unacceptable. Laurina and the painter agreed it was not (why didn’t they see that on their own?) and said they would strip and redo the car. They did not strip the car as I was told. They block sanded it and painted over the previous paint job. So now I have a paint job that is not a strip to bare metal, but is a repaint over an existing paint job. NOT what I paid for or was promised. The result of that redo was again sub par. Frustration with over two years of being jerked around, and poor work regardless of what was promised, caused us to pull our car before more damage could be done. Subsequently we have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix their bad mechanical assembly, and as much of the paint and bodywork as is realistic. Billing is far worse than inaccurate, and the stories of parts from one customer car being used on another’s car are commonplace. I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the idea that while the shop may have had a good name many years ago, this has certainly not been the case the last few years since Laurina has taken over. I don’t know how they stay in business. Run away.
