Tim provided me an estimate sometime in the winter of 2022. I explained to Tim that my 1956 Corvette. Has been in my family for over 40 years. I told Tim that I wanted everything painted on the car. Which we agreed included the dash and everything that was orange. Tim agreed and told me the dash and all stainless and chrome trim would be removed in preparation for paint. I told him multiple times through out the painting process. That I just wanted the job done right. Tim never asked if I had a budget in mind. Nor did I have one. Because again I wanted the job done right. I made the mistake of trusting Tim and never got a written contract from Tim. Only a verbal . . . Tim called me once the project began to tell me that " everything came off of the car easily". And that nothing broke. I came in to pick up the trim. Tim told me that he was going to knock $700 off the price. When I got to the shop. I was surprised to see only about half of the cars trim removed. Tim's plan was to tape off the trim and to paint the car with the trim still on it. I was also surprised to see the dash still in the vehicle. Tim's plan was to also tape off the instrument cluster and then to paint it. When asked about verbal agreement. Tim basically through a temper tantrum in his shop. Saying that it didn't need to be done. So the car was painted with the trim still on and the dash still in the car.
Tim , told me at a previous date to the painting. That because a leaking pump in the trunk needed to be replaced. And that he needed to replace two seat covers. That i asked him to replace. And the car was in an accident. He needed to raise the price $3200 more than the most recent quote. It didn't take long to prove that the car was never in an accident. And Tim was clearly lying. He also decided later on that he wasn't going to replace the seat covers. But Tim never brought the price back to his original quote plus the cost of the pump replacement.
Once the car was finished. I asked Tim to fix multiple issues. To which his reply " you didn't say anything a couple weeks ago".
Once the car was home I found multiple imperfections in the paint. Including missing paint , scratches , swirl marks and areas that were not filled with filler. But just sprayed with paint. I believe the original paint job was better. Tim made what should of been an exciting experience. A tense and terrible experience. Due to his aggressive outbursts. Here is why you should go to
So here's the truth about this car. Since Tim removed the other post . Because he can't except responsibility for his actions. Tim provided me an estimate sometime in the winter of 2022.
