    DO NOT TAKE ANY VEHICLE TO THIS BUSINESS. **** will take your money and not complete any work. His wife, *****, will call you constantly asking for more money but work will never be done on your vehicle. We have a 1969 Volkswagen Bus that we decided to upgrade. New motor, new transmission, new muffler, new brakes, and lowering kit. We paid for all the materials and they were delivered to his shop. ***** also came to our house twice to collect money from us for work that was being done on the bus. On both occasions we paid her $6500.00 for a total of $13000.00. When we went out to observe the progress on the bus, the bus was sitting in the yard and nothing had been done. When asked why no work had been completed on the bus, **** and ***** said that they needed more money. We were not willing to give them any more money until we saw some progress. The next time we went out, the bus was up on hoists but still no work had been completed, we were asked again for more money. We refused again stating that we had already paid for all the materials and given them $13000.00 cash. No more money would be given until there was progress on the bus. This continued for 3 years. We finally picked up our bus yesterday. The body and paint were in perfect condition when taken to ***** No work had been completed. The front of the bus has been badly damaged - there is a huge dent in it and rust all over. **** told us that they guys hit the bus with the 4-wheeler - no apology, no offer to fix the damage. We took the bus and all of our materials but John refused to give us the original core transmission which has a trade-in value, stating that he ‘needed to get something out of this deal’. We threatened police action and he gave us the transmission. We will be putting together a small claims court submission as the bus requires a lot of work to fix the damages caused by ****. This business should be shut down. **** and ***** are criminals. There are numerous complaints about them.

    Trust me when I say, DO NOT USE THESE GUYS and if you do I hope our paths cross again so I can say to your face, I told you so. Why over priced, never on schedule, no communication and do very poor work. I wish I had read the reviews before I got tied into this dam place. They took a dream I had for 30 years and turned it into a night mare for 2.5 years for a job that should have taken 6 months. I am now in court with this business as I have spent $1000s and will have to pay someone else to undo all there poor work.So again save yourself a lot of grief, stress and grey hair, keep looking for a restoration business.These are not the people you are looking for

    Do yourself a favour and dont use them. Horrible custom service. A quick read though the BBB reviews would have saved us a lot of hassle as we would have know the stay far far away from this place. As my emails keep bouncing back and my messenger messages to your personal and business pages are being ignored, I thought I would try this form of communication. Sent this to last chance and ***** on messenger Hi ***** and ****,This is ***, Robs spouse. I am contacting you in regards to the game table we have here belonging to you. Would you please come and pick it up or would you rather we just do with it what we will whether that be use it burn it or sell it whatever. No response will be taken as permission to do with it as we wish. If we have not heard from you by 6pm, Friday July 15th we will consider it ours as we have already previously asked what you want us to do with it.I have also left a couple of messages regarding Robs tools that we would like returned to us, or we can make arrangements to come get them from you. Please let me know how you would like to proceed with this as well. No reply regarding this matter will not go unaddressed. Further action will be taken. We will be seeking legal advice.Regards,*** M

    This company has caused me to spend the last 2 years paying other people to undo their completely botched resto on my car. Last thing was a rebuilt transmission that turned out to be a repainted unrestored ****** with a B&M sticker on it so I would think the shift kit I paid for was really there. It wasnt! Can anyone stop these people from literally ****** people.. please. I figure I got lucky.. had heard worse horror stories from others
