After several weeks and numerous unreturned calls I was finally given an appointment to get my…read moreJaguar in for a repair of the convertible top. I dropped it off on a Thursday and was given a Monday completion date. Monday came no phone calls and more unreturned messages. Thursday came and I decided to check on my $108,000 Jaguar in person. Elaine was not there and the person at the desk had no information, but told me to call in a half hour and she may be back. I asked to see my car that was supposed to be in their shop and was told customers are not allowed in the shop. Walked around the building and found my car sitting at the back of a dirt junk yard like area. It had a tarp over the top with metal gromets and hooks scratching the paint. The car was not locked in the unsecured lot. They had not even started on the car. I got the key from them and drove it home. Washed the filthy car and started to buff out the scratches. There is more to the story that is worse than what I have already disclosed, but for now I will leave it at that. Use Upholstery 1 at your own risk, you have been warned.

Ed and his team are in the dying breed of true craftsmen. We brought Ed a set of eight antique…read moredining chairs that have high sentimental value to our family. After calling numerous shops in the area, only Ed immediately knew the type of wood (Koa) and was confident that he could completely disassemble and repair them, entirely without nails or screws, as built 80 years ago. He repaired their structure, re-laminated the chipped chair backs immaculately, and reupholstered the seats. Without instruction to, he noticed the details in the fabric and covered each chair in an aesthetic and symmetrical way. Amazing! Beyond all this, Ed even came in on a holiday to open his shop so that I could pick them up because of my schedule. I can't imagine better service or work SMA shop anywhere.

I am completely satisfied with Ed's work. I had a chair that was over 100 years old that needed…read morereupholstered. They did a masterful job. Alex Hall

They sanded it to the bare wood, put multiple coats of primer on it, then multiple coats of paint. They matched the white paint sample I gave them perfectly. Every piece was absolutely perfect and far superior to the original manufacturer's finish. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend them without reservation or qualification. You can tell they are good guys w worked very hard and take great pride in their work. Thanks very much for a great job.

I called DES, and not only were they able to get it in and completed same day, but they were so professional and efficient that I had to write them a great review. They finished it in less time than expected, gave me a great deal on some subwoofers that actually fit my truck (last shop d**ked me on that one too,) and they explained everything they did for me and exactly how to use it. Great employees, great shop, and I would give them 6 stars if I could.

They recommended us to go to DES of Wilmington for repair. The service and people were kind and considerate they found the problem told us how the entire mechanism needed replacing.

Would recommend their service.

After speaking with Julie Martin I felt really comfortable leaving my car with her company. I had rental car coverage for 30 days and my 30 days was up in 4 days when Martin's kicked into "high gear" to get my car done. I took myself to Martin's and told Julie that I was very skeptical that my car could be completed to my satisfaction by week's end. Long story short it was ready and met my persnickety standards. I am back in love with my car again!! One note which is normal (un-known to me) is that after a car is painted some minor "swirls" can "pop-up" after the paint cures. This happened to my car. After VERY careful inspection I notice 3 (half-dollar size) areas. The car was quickly buffed up (while I waited) and now I have a perfect car! I can only help other reviewers by telling them if they need anything done in Brunswick County they should go to Martin's; they are foolish if they go elsewhere. Thank you Julie Martin and Martin's Auto Rebuilders for a wonderful job done!!!
