Ed and his team worked on our antique car and we now have a working and reliable car! We rely on Eds upfront discussions regarding what we are considering doing with the car and whether its worth doing. Hes repaired/replaced several issues that a previous supposedly reputable garage had charged for but didnt address/resolve.
The guys are very knowledgeable and have been around forever! They got my truck back on the road again and looking better than new.
I brought my 1950 ford F1 pickup to the rod shop. Ed and I discussed the work to be done it included replacing drum front breaks with power disk breaks. I had recently purchased the the rotors the master cylinder pump and all parts with exception to the break lines from speedway. Ed gave me a verbal of 3500.00 for labor and would be additional cost for any miscellaneous parts .Ed called me and told me it would be better to convert rear drums to disk also I agreed and was told another 1500 in labor and miscellaneous part.I purchase the parts from speedway. Ed billed weekly I was receiving bills that I thought was billed wrong must be a mistake. I met with him and had to pay to complete the work. Ed’s bill for labor and a few hundred dollars in parts came to more than $11,000.00 although Ed work was done professionally it Wasn’t worth 11,000+ dollars. That weekly billing and nothing in writing was a blank check.
I dropped off my frame off 57 for a laundry list of small items to be done.Ed requires weekly payments. The list of repairs in each bill came off the top of his head. They repeated the same items of multiple bills.Much of the work had to be redone. I walked away over $30,000 light. When I questioned him about the charges he said I could take the car back unfinished. This is a butcher shop at best. Stay clear!!!!Ww
Tim is an extremely meticulous guy and will accept nothing less then perfection. The type of guy you want to bring your expensive car restoration to!
I was charged 200 hours on a car that was complete frame off from the original build and $25,000.00 light after having my car worked on at the Rod Shop.The repairs that were done had a lot of problems.So I called ED at The Rod Shop and he said send me pictures .so I did that was 3 months ago he just blew me off.I would never recommend this shop for anything.Very sad that business owner take advantage of people, I am not a happy camper !!!!!
Nothing but respect when I walked in.
