    I heart Coyote Signs.  Farmstead Montclair is a better place because of our oh so groovy placards, window painting, and sidewalk sign

    Scooter is a cinch to deal with, reasonably priced, and has a dry wit.

    The project took a bit longer than expected, but hey, life gets in the way of commerce sometimes.

    My only complaint is that he should rename his business to Scooter Signs...

    I was in need of serious signage for my store, Zolita.  I am on17th street off of Valencia and getting people find me sometimes can be a challenge.  After several tries with other sign companies who couldnt take the time to get me a quote, I called Coyote Signs on recommendation of another Mission merchant.  

    Scooter came right over, gave me a more than fair quote and promised the window signs done within a week.  I thought, "Okay cool, he's on it."  Well the next day I got an email saying he could come the VERY NEXT day due to the fact he had business in the area.  
    The service offered was reasonable price in line with national standards, quick and efficient.  I highly recommend this company if you need signage,  Scooter has 10 years under his tool belt, his suggestions were right on the mark, noting how I could get the best visibility and bang for my buck.  
    Honest, friendly, & environmentally sound....doesn't get much better then this.  Thanks a bunch!

    Scooter was great to work with- I sent him a terrible mockup of what I wanted and he turned it into something wonderful.
    I really appreciate that he took care to use recycled and eco-friendly materials when he could.
    The sign was displayed outdoors in extreme weather and held up beautifully.

    Scooter Rocks!!!
    He did a great job on our sign. He helped flesh out the initial concept, got everything ordered up, and the install went really smoothly. I also was impressed that his final numbers were actually less than his initial quote. If you need a sign or some graphics, then Scooter is the one to call. I'll be using him again for our graphics and signage needs in the future.

    Scooter rocks! It is that simple. I found him here on Yelp and am so glad I did. Not only did he do my sign for my new showroom, we also had him do a sign and window decals for my wifes ballet school. He did a great job on all three.

    He listened to what we wanted and made great suggestions on what would make our idea even better. We are very happy with his work. You need to get a sign done, call Scooter. It is really that simple.

    I've been going to Coyote for signs since 2003. Scooter is reliable and does quality work for a reasonable price. I have been very happy with him and will continue going to Coyote for the foreseeable future.

    Scooter created signage for all 3 hat store locations. He is very pro and gets the job done quickly. I recommend him to everyone I know who needs signage.  Best in the business!

    Scooter rocks!  He's done all our outdoor signage and window stenciling at both Kasa Indian Eatery restaurants (http://www.kasaindian.com).  Yelp link here: http://www.yelp.com/bi....  We've had his sign up at our first location for almost two years now, and it's holding up great.  When it was time to do the sign for our second location, I got a bunch of bids from other vendors because I had forgotten how much I paid Scooter.  His sign was so beautiful that I figured I overpaid like I did on many things my first time around :)  Turns out I paid less than I had remembered.  Scooter once again came back with a competitive bid and delivered stunningly beautiful signs for us.  I can't recommend Scooter highly enough!

    Started working on a project together.  Paid him.  Then never heard from him again.

    He seemed like a very talented person, but never responded to emails and then never returned calls at all.  He left us hanging on a string after making promises.

    Scooter came to my rescue quickly with an AWESOME sign for my new store Pawsture.  Not only did he deliver a great sign as pormised, but he took time to work with me and explain the ins and outs of "signage".  As a small business owner the help was much appreciated.  If you need a sign, give Scooter a call.

    I called up Coyote Signs in a panic.  It was Thursday at 4pm and I needed a banner sign for my company by Monday at 8am.  Scooter was beyond helpful and my sign was gorgeous and on time!

    Sorry Scooter that i have to do this to you, but yelp was where i found you and worked with you. OK here are the negative things..
    _ i called Scooter to see if he could finish my sign before the grand opening day. He promised that it would be done before that (I provided the logo). He took the money and didn't finished that job. I had to email and called him several times to make sure that he would keep his word.. Finally he emailed me back and said he couldn't get it done on time.. YEAH, he wanted the money right the way and didn't delivery his words. So finally he just put the outline to make it looked we had something on our window for the grand opening day.
    _ Then, took him almost two weeks to finish the rest. and when he did it, he did my address number wrong..
    _ Then he promised that he would come to fix it right the way, but took him another two weeks to do so. ( So we confused my customers, the UPS guy, the mail man and my neighbors... by wrong address number)...
    Bottom line is that his price is not cheap, didn't do the work as promised, all the five stars on yelp might be fake.....
    Sorry Scooter, you knew that this was going to happen. you knew that i would rate you on yelp because that where i found you... OOOPS, i forgot to ask what the warranty was for the sign,, maybe after you read this rating, you would not fix my sign if anything happen..

    Was this review …?

    I needed a sign for a public venue at an outdoor festival. I had ideas, but not a full design. Scooter took my needs and ideas and turned them into a great design. Along the way, there was great communication. E.g. when I told him I wasn't sure how I could light the sign, he added reflective letters to the plan.

    Once I displayed the sign, several neighbor venues and even passers by commented on the quality of the sign materials and design. As designed, it held up to weather, as well as the lurchings of intoxicated revelers.

    Well done!

    Scooter designed the sign, which I wanted to be very simple to hang and transport.  Then he built the sign and it EXACTLY matched his design.

    Great Sign, timely and as promised.

    We have the most fabulous sign in the world. Scooter has this deep artistic appreciation for his art work. And it IS art work. Thank you Scooter for doing such a tremendous job representing us through your craftsmanship! HIGHLY recommended.

    Scooter at Coyote Signs was easy to work with, understood what we wanted and very responsive. We are very pleased with the hand-painted sign he did for us at our coffee house, Farley's East, in Oakland.

    Let me tell you....Scooter rocks! He did an incredible, detailed graphic at my business and it's amazing. He worked with me and within my budget to create a great window design, showed up on time and is a gem to deal with. I've dealt with several sign shops before, but this one is a keeper!
