Uticolor, A Positive Experience !!!!

Postby Ronin » Sun Jan 21, 2007 9:34 pm

Hi People,

Have to share a pleasant experience I had recently:

Uticolor or more to the point, Robert form Uticolor fixed my slashed vinyl roof recently.

The guy did an awesome job, it had a right-angle tear, one side about 10cm the other around 5cm. I was pretty upset when it got slashed because it was only around 6 months old, but now it's good as new.
You wouldn't even spot that its been repaired unless you knew where to look and had good eyesight. Best money I've ever spent, not even a fraction the cost of a new roof.

My missus was the one he dealt with from start to finish, and unlike some other tradies and mech's he didn't try to con her out of some extra cash, or treat her like an idiot, In fact the price ended up coming in under his own quote !!!!!

Guys, Can't recomend this fella enough to anyone, I'm VERY IMPRESSED !!!!

Do you mind if I ask you how much it cost?

Uticolor in Canberra is awesome as well.

I converted my NA6 to have the NB glass window top. The top I bought was badly damaged but Uticolor repaired it no problem at all and that was 18 months ago now and the repairs are still all good.

BUMP - for anyone needing repair work on their vinyl top.

Just had Robert repair my vinyl top today. The tear was less than 10cm in a "J" letter shape.
Fantastic job, anyone looking wouldn't realise a repair had been done at all :P .

So thank you to this thread which had recommended him and to Rob himself.
Very happy customer :beer: :beer: .

Yep can vouch for almost invisible repairs to all things vinyl and leather. I dealt with Glenn and his work is great too. Other than roof I had my leather seats in the daily repaired in a spot where the previous owner must have rubbed against getting in/out. Glenn said he must have had a larger... Wallet!
Could not see where the spot was after the repair.
