As always be careful of anyone who may be "offering" any guarantee being sure to ask questions. In my conversations with Curt, I had absolutely no concerns in finding him to be honest and forthcoming, clearly explaining expectations and limitations of the product.

So I had my banister sand blasted after I attempted to remove 5 layers of paint. It was supposed to…read moreonly take 10 business days but they had it for 2 months. They claim they couldn't email me or call me because they lost my number some how ( which was in the email). When I finally got it back I saw they broke my wood rail in the process. They offered to take a substantial amount of money off the price and to drop off the piece they broke because they forgot it. A week later and I still don't have the damn piece. These folks have the nerve to say they are too busy to drop the piece off and want ME to come get it. Don't ever use these guys Michigan Sandblasting, Inc.

My experience started out positive. They cleaned up a second piece without charge after I had…read moreasked what the cost would be and what it would look like. The piece that was actually getting sandblasted and powder coated was another story. Quoted $80 for the piece + $20 rush charge. I don't know how much this stuff usually costs, but it seemed ok. (Now that I read the review from Kevin G, and see what he got done for $120, I'd say my small piece was over priced.) They called the next day to say it was done, when the rush meant it wouldn't be done for another 2 days. (Was the extra $20 rush charge actually necessary if it could be done so soon?) I went to pick up the item later that day and it was beyond TERRIBLE. Like a child had done it, but worse. I can't really explain other than to say it looked like it was dipped in very thick powder coating then laid on its side to dry. There were thick drips and clumps all over. Some of it was already chipping and flaking off. (I didn't think powder coating should be able to do that.) I know, I should have taken pictures. I told them it was awful and needed to be redone, thanked them for wasting my time, and I left. In less than 1 hour, I get another call from them saying it was completed and ready for pick up. Ok, let me ask again, if the total job took less than 1 hour, was the extra $20 rush charge actually necessary? On the voicemail left, they still quoted the same price of $100. Seriously, you think I'm going to pay the $100 after the crappy job, wasting my time and gas, and an unnecessary $20 rush charge? Anyway, when I went to pick it up the second time, it was much better, still not as good as I would have expected, but much better. I don't know who took my payment, as no one through this whole ordeal bothered to give their name, but I told him what I was willing to pay for the piece due to the issues mentioned above. He agreed and took my payment.

Wonderful service, quick turn around. Quality craftsmanship. Made in Michigan with pride!read more

Jesse, the owner/operator was very personable, as well as very informative about the work we needed done. He made a few recommendation and then did a sample blast to pick the best media to use for our needs and to show us the final finish. Jesse did a great job and he did an impeccable job cleaning up. I would highly recommend Schroeder's.

Discovered a leak on my car and was frustrated. The leak seemed to be coming from the connection…read morebetween the hose and radiator. I wasn't sure if it was the actual hose or radiator because I didn't have the tools to pressure check etc. I called local shops and immediately most said my radiator was bad, average cost $450-$600 from most shops. Brand new OEM radiator cost $200 so I said I'll do myself if need be. I took the radiator off and decided to have it tested. I took it to a local shop who "specializes" in radiators and they told me I needed a new one. I wanted a 2nd opinion so took it to Rays. He told me leave it and it will take them a couple hours to get to and test it etc. Got a call about an hour later and was told radiator is in great condition, works fine! Picked up the radiator paid about $30+ and bought a new hose (the problem) and car is fine no leaks! So instead of buying parts I didn't need even when I was told that was the issue I'm glad Rays did the proper testing and didn't lie to me to try to gain business! Overall I recommend them, owner is definitely honest, willing to do the proper testings instead of just guessing or claiming what you need! With so many businesses out there just trying to get you in the door and take your money, it's great to meet an honest business! Thank You Rays!

I dropped some parts that needed straightening and a hole welded and was told it would be about a week. Well a MONTH later I came to pick up my parts and NOTHING had been done even after numerous phone calls I even talked to him the week before and he said they could be picked up the next day. When I did come to pick up my parts he had his guy scramble and try to do the job I waited a month for, while I stood in his lobby for an hour and a half. BUSH LEAGUE!!! On top of that he quoted me $30 to powdercoat some rimes and when I picked them up charged me $60. BOTTOM LINE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
