Lombadi - Carlise/Lathlain.

Both seem to get good feedback when they have been mentioned previously. Run a quick search, this has been asked before. Cheers

I had damage to my rear bumper at the end of last year. Asked around here and was told Lombardi Brothers in Bentley would do a good job. They specialise in prestige european cars.

They were really out of my way, but I went there anyway (I live near a bucket-load of panelbeaters/ spraypainters in Osborne Park).

They replaced the bumper and resprayed ( it was an insurance job). I was unhappy witht he colour-match and took it back. They agreed that it required a respray and did it for me.

They seemed very professional. The first paint job was very good, just not well-matched (car was just 6 months old... how hard is it with paint codes these days??). The second paint-job was better colour-matched (not perfect), but was substandard- rough in many areas and they re-polished it after I looked annoyed when picking it up. It still has areas of substandard paintwork (rough areas that they missed/ couldn't buff off and there is overspray left on a passenger door).

They may do prestige cars well, but it would appear that they are just like other places if you have a standard car. I did indeed end up with an ordinary job. The place down the road would have given me a similar job and would have been less hassle to get to.

If I ever own a car worth over $200000 I may go there... but they don't appear to care about the common guy anymore than anyone else. I remain annoyed.

I may just own a Golf but it is MY Golf and the first new car I have ever bought. I take care of it and expect the same from others.

I expected better from Lombardi Brothers and didn't get it.

I would have been happy with the first spray if it had of been the right colour- the quality was very good. It was the second attempt that annoyed me as it was a sub-standard job.

If the re-spray had been a good job I'd recommend them. Maybe my expectations were too high
