It leaked oil after I got it back. I had to wait for the following season to bring it in. They didn't charge me to stop the oil leak. Got it back and it kept leaking. Took it back a third time, they replaced the clutch kit cover and that fixed the leak. Didn't charge me this last time either, for parts or labor. Highly recommend this shop!

Great shop, honest work, and highly recommended.

As with all 2004 to 2009 Mercedes SL500's and SL600's I developed a problem with the Active Body…read moreControl System. Apparently there's a conversion kit to modify the suspension system eliminating the continues expensive repairs with the ABC System, but we're having trouble finding a power steering pump that controls just the power steering. There is one out there and he's working to find it. The factory installed tandem pump controls both the power steering and the ABC will burn out shortly if used on the conversion system. So, as a temporary bandaid, Kurt replaced the two bad gaskets affecting the ABS System for now and the trunk battery (which I was unaware was bad) with a new battery for a total of $700 which was shocking to me. I was expecting a bill of at least $1000. This was just a bandaid for now until we can find the proper pump, but Kurt is as honest as the day is long. He also did not charge me for diagnostic testing of the problem, which many shops do. I highly recommend!!

My 1956 Corvette has been in my family for over 40 years. I told Tim that I wanted everything…read morepainted 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 Tim multiple times throughout the painting process. That I 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 including: missing paint under dash that he painted already peeling paint on dash already peeling paint near passenger side window unpainted area in the passenger side door hinge unpainted floor underneath carpet patch on floor carpet from incorrect install unpainted interior doors unpainted area under deck lid unpainted areas inside truck that he painted unpainted door trim over spray on windows missing paint in inside of glove box multiple visible primer spots throughout car due to not properly removing trim not replacing the door panels, kick panels or windshield wipers cracked driver side window because the trim or window wasn't removed from the door before painting and sanding only painting one side of the rims Once the car was home I found multiple imperfections in the paint. Including missing paint(that would not be covered up) , 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 shouldn't go to Alcalde Customs. Update: so since I can't reply to Tim's reply of my review. I will update my review with a response. In regards to me not complaining. That's just another of Tim's bold faced lies. Which Tim does as easily as he breaths. I asked Tim about multiple issues. And Tim preceded to throw what, I can only explain as a grown man throwing a temper tantrum. And when I attempted to remove my car. Tim threatened to charge me the full price and keep my car parts. And in regards to him saying to bring my car in and he will fix it. I wouldn't trust Tim at this point with his finger paints and my piece of paper. And secondly please feel free to call me. And I will show you pictures of the texts of him refusing to fix any and all issues. And the last text of him saying that I'm " blocked". When referring to the huge chunk of paint. Missing from the dash he painted on my car. And any questions(773-419-5775 ) Also please refer to the picture of the bogus check , Tim lies about

Tim was great to work with, had the bags painted in just a few days, and they look fantastic! He even caught that the company I had bought the paint from had sent me the wrong color... and was able to match the matte perfectly just by seeing the bike. He was even able to paint over the chrome bezels and hinges perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results! I'll definitely be using Alcalde Customs for all of my paint work!
