Arete Digital Imaging

ADI did an okay job on our vehicle wrap. We were not satisfied in the end though. We did not like the splice in the middle of the rear panels. Was told that this was normal. I still have not seen splice work on any of the other wrapped vans that I come across. Requested it to be redone. Got a no. Will not do business again. I felt Unilocalers deserve to know this.

I called about 6 or 7 places to wrap my car. Alex was the first to get back to me, the first to get me a quote, and in the end, he was the best price. Carlos did a great job understanding my design specifications for the custom wrap I wanted, and what he came up with fit my expectations exactly. The quality of the final wrap was top notch. Finally, this was all done within the time frame promised during Alex and my first conversation.
Great job by all, highly recommended.

Could not be happier, Highly recommend them. I received cheaper quotes from a couple of other companies but felt like ADI was the right choice, I needed my fashion truck to be perfect and they did not disappoint. I gave them my vision and they made it come to life. BEAUTIFUL work

Great all around experience!
Friendly staff, competitive prices and most importantly great quality!

I can not say enough about ADI and Tony and his crew. They worked SUPER hard with me on getting a brand new adoption center up and running and ready to open to the public in just under two months. and That was with some delays on our side that were unavoidable yet tony made it happen. Beautiful interior graphics, amazing wall murals, they even crafted a dog treat station and sent one guy to michaels looking for little stainless buckets to match our design. Over and above I tell you.
Save yourself time and start and end with ADI.

I have worked with a lot of DI companies and no other company even holds a flame to ADI. My company is in San Diego but I still choose to use ADI even though they are in LA… That says something. Work is always on time and quality cannot be beat… Not to mention their prices are the best in SoCal for the quality of work. ADI = Total No Brainer.

In my opinion, ADI is probably the worst printing company I have ever attempted to work with. Our company had contracted ADI to print a wrap for our company truck. On August 12, 2013, we were quoted $ 2400 for the job. After giving ADI a $ 1200 deposit, we were promised a mock up after sending our artwork to them, which we did right away. On August 20, 2013 we were again promised the mock up for us to approve. On August 21, I sent an email to Tony asking where our mock-​up was.
Tony replied, «Hi Laura,
Thanks for the follow up.
Rich is working on it today, you can expect the first mock up this
afternoon or by no later than tomorrow AM.
Best,
Tony»
We waited, waited, and then called them at approx. 2:35pm on August 23, 2013 to find out why we still didn’t have artwork to approve. I spoke with Tony who then joked, «I might have it for you today», and then chuckled. I replied that I did not think this matter was funny, and requested our $ 1200 deposit back. Tony then hung up on me.
I called again and spoke to Barbara demanding our $ 1200 deposit refund. Thankfully, I was issued a refund within minutes.
It is quite apparent that Tony doesn’t really care if his customer service is bad. He made nothing but empty promises and bad jokes.
8÷28÷13 Edit. My company was sent a threatening email from Tony, accusing me of slander.
«This is not an accurate depiction of the events of that day. This is Slander, have it removed within the next week or we will contact our attorney. This is also very obviously with malicious intent, as you can see in the post. We have already saved copies of this point for our records.
Secondly, we had more than several meetings on your design and the guys wanted to knock you sox off, it took a few tries (as does anything worth while). The design was all but done, but after being yelled at, and threatened by Laura I simply agreed to return your deposit, nothing more. It’s unfortunate, we try not to just slap someone’s logo on the side of a vehicle but rather put a real effort to make it special, as you will find out, our competition does not share that sentiment.
I would want to know if any of my employees were representing my company in this manor, so just so you are aware, Laura was literally yelling and making threats after my reply that it would be sent that day.
Again, if this is still up by the end of the week, you will hear from our attorney, any charges we accrue will be included in the case.
I’m sorry it has come to this John, please know I would prefer this not become even a much larger issue, but we will pursue this.
Tony Jollett»
Now, how can Tony Jollett accuse me of slander, when I speak the truth? Yes, I yelled at them. They took $ 1200 of our company’s dollars and didn’t provide anything. And the part about threats? Yeah, I threatened to write a review on Unilocal,contact the Better Business Bureau, and threatened to dispute the charges on our company credit card if a refund was not given immediately. And like I said above, Barbara issued the credit immediately. I have no malicious intent.
So not only was the customer service bad, I am now getting threatened with slander for giving a review on Unilocal.Is Arête Digital Imaging the kind of company you would want to do business with?
8÷28÷13 10:29am It gets worse! Here is Tony’s latest correspondence with our company, «John,
It was not factual in the slightest, that is my concern. It is a malicious and contrived statement meant to harm my business, and it is well with in MY right to sue a company that does such an act for any damages, and that is on a daily basis, every day that is up it cost me (and now YOU money). As I said, I would prefer NOT to go down this road, but I WILL.
I will NOT be bullied, Laura called yelling and threatening me, so I took her up on her threat and offered your deposit back, which you got back with in the hour, that is all, I have this on record.
Again, for the last time, I DO NOT want to make this a thing, but if it is still up tomorrow you will not hear from me again, you will hear from my attorney.
Tony Jollett»
I am documenting it all here, so that the Unilocal public can see. I will not back down. I will not be threatened, I will not remove this review, and neither will the company I work for. My review is factual. I have receipts and emails to prove it. How I now wish I’d have recorded the heated telephone call I described above!
I wish Tony and his crew would have spent this much time and energy on actually getting us a mock-​up! Instead they are bullying us with threats of lawsuits to take this review down. Way to go ADI! You and your attorney might want to read up on Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation law in California and a person’s right to express opinions on public participation websites such as Unilocal

I’ve been working with ADI and Tony Jollett for years. I’ve been approached by many, but haven’t found another printing vendor that can match ADI’s quality and pricing. ADI stands by their work, meets deadlines, is solution-​oriented, and Tony has always been a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. The results are always beautiful. I’d recommend ADI to anyone.

The ADI group is among the best for creative and business support. Working as a Senior Designer for Marketing at The Walt Disney Corporation, I find that I am in constant need for the services of good printers and graphic specialists. ADI consistently meets many of my needs with excellent results and has provided finished content that has significantly driven up business revenue over the past 4 years. Tony (the owner) and his team are a collection of the friendliest and most knowledgeable creatives in the business and have often provided solutions to difficult problems. I highly recommended ADI’s services to anyone looking for quality of service, reasonable prices and great customer support.

They did an fantastic work on my 2003 dodge ram, it looks very good, Edgar and Carlos were tremendously helpful they did the design as i had it from my mind to the vehicle, will definitely recommend this guys and bring more vehicles to make them look amazing

The guys at ADI are incredibly helpful, talented and so nice. My boss wanted a picture in a book blown up into a huge poster. I talked with Carlos and Edgar and when I went to them they told me they would simply recreate it, the lettering, the shapes and could match the colors to 99%.
They worked extremely quickly and the poster came out amazing! They’re prices are so reasonable and they kept me updated every step of the way, even to let me know they were going to reprint it because they weren’t happy with the original.
Its so nice to find a place where you have amazing customer service and you get really great work for an awesome price. ADI is definitely that place!

This is actually my 1^st Unilocal and I’m writing it based on amazing service I received at ADI. So I recently started up my own business and was looking to get some exposure with my van. I had researched a few companies and I finally decided to go with ADI, mainly for the fantastic quality of service and reasonable prices. I spoke to Tony (owner) and gave him my customized designs. He is a super friendly guy and turned my designs to reality with incredible results. Mike is also very helpful and friendly and ensured all my business needs were taken care of. If your thinking about getting decals or any kind of wrap (not just cars, but they wrapped Eric Claptons friggin guitar too!) go with these guys! Seriously, they have a great team and great future ahead of them! Thanks ADI!
–Now, on to building my biz! :)
