It had been driving fine. I couldn't see anything wrong. I had this sinking feeling, and worried about greedy mechanics conning a gullible vehicle owner into unnecessary work to get the sticker. Nope! That's not what happened! They did half an hour of extra work to fix the problem, and still charged me just $12.50, and stickered it. Takeaway: professionalism, generosity, great service.

Brad claimed he had warned me of radiator leak, which he never mentioned, and would make no sense to spend nearly $500 on other repairs and ignore a radiator leak.

Hank's Garage had a very quick turn-around from diagnosis, appointment schedule, and to subsequent repairs (very rare for local vehicle repair shops). Sean was up front about the repairs needed, kept me in the loop, and seemed to genuinely try to keep costs down. He is knowledgeable and personable and didn't try to oversell things I didn't need.

The car would barely run, I had to take the car to another shop to have further work done that cost another $1000.00.

The new gauges Roy installed were not accurate and when I asked about the mismatch on the paint work Roy quoted it's close.

To say that my experience at Columbia Classics in Winthrop, Maine was exhausting, frustrating, and…read moreamazingly expensive would be an understatement. We were referred to this business by an employee at the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Maine. We own a 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible, of which we are the original owners. After texting and phoning the owner of Columbia Classics, Roy, we felt comfortable with placing the restoration of our car in his hands. We left our car with Roy in Winthrop, Maine in October, 2016. The agreed upon timeframe called for completion by April 15, 2017, with a budget limit of $10,000. We finally retrieved our car mid-May 2017. Where to begin: presently the car often stalls, often runs on after shut off, the new top is a bear to get up and down, I get slammed in the back by the door repeatedly because the mechanic "forgot" to order the stops on the door hinges. To summarize, the car neither runs, looks, or drives, as one might hope after receiving a bill for $18,000. The owner will have excuse after excuse, story after story, tale after tale, but in the end, my advice is to stay away from this business.
