    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

    Quick to take your deposit, and good luck after they have it.
