I was hoping to have found a "Street Rod Shop," because I have lots more work I would like to have…read moredone, including paint and interior. But this place is not, it's just a car repair shop.
I took my '67 Camaro there to have Vintage Air installed, on a referral. Well, my experience started out excellent, until I dropped the car off. In person I felt like they just wanted me to leave because they didn't have time for me. I had discussed previously about having some other work done while the car was there, and they knew I was not in a hurry. Not mentioning any names, but I was assured they would do what I needed done, besides the HVAC install. Then, after a few delays, which I was very understanding about, I was called and told my car was done, so I asked about the extra work that I wanted done, just in case they forgot to mention it. This is where things went way down hill. Alan proceeded to tell me that "they were not sitting around staring at my car waiting to work on it, they have other customers." I reminded him that I scheduled the "extra" work 2 months before I even dropped off the car ( the vintage air system took a while to get), and I was assured when I dropped off car that it would not be a problem. He told me they could not do it, they don't have time. I went to pick up the car. Again, I felt rushed out. After looking over the install at home, I found a broken off fender bolt on the right side that they did not tell me about, an air shock line had been pulled out, I assume on the lift, my reverse lights didn't work anymore, my front parking lights didn't work anymore, and my tail/brake lights were in and out on the driver's side. I really do believe in second chances and giving a business the opportunity to right a wrong, but I was afraid to go back. What else would they butcher. So, I fixed the air line, I found a wire pulled off at the fuse box for the reverse lights, they pulled a wire out of the headlamp switch, which I can tell they did installing the dash outlet and duct of the left side of the dash, and the tail light sockets, which were new, because I installed them a number of months earlier, had been carelessly knocked out of the tail lamp when they put my old parts in the trunk.
I was happy with the actual install of the Vintage air, but all the things they did in the process was just carelessness. I feel like they treated my car like it was just another Border Patrol truck they worked on.
