Let me chime in on this one.
I dropped off a GTO remote mirror to be chromed on 2-28-06. The guy at the counter told me 6-8 weeks.
I called at the 7 week mark and they said next week. I called every other day since then and was told the same thing "check back next week because it's pot metal". It is now 6-29-06 and still do not have the mirror. I had to pick up the base (not chromed, just stripped) so I could prefit and drill the holes before my car goes to the body shop. This was last week. I need to take the base back to be finished. Needless to say I'm pissed. 16 weeks and still not done.
Also I dropped off my top door reveal moldings to be polished on 3-20-06. I called and called waiting for them to be done. I kept being put off. I then called 2 weeks ago (now 12 weeks) they said three of the four are done but they were having troubled with one.
I called last week to find out what is going on and they told me they wrapped the drivers side door molding around the polishing wheel ruining it. I said these moldings are hard to find in good shape, but he said they ordered me one to replace it. I got thinking the next day about where did they order it, they don't make repro and wasn't sure if he even knew my year or type of car. I called the next day and they told me the owner has been doing this for 16-20 years and knew it was for a 65 GTO drivers side door. When I picked up the mirror base last week they gave me the three pieces that were finished. They were still waiting for the piece he ordered.
I don't have a good feeling. The three pieces they finished were quite nice, great shine. But not worth a 12 week wait for polishing.
So I am still waiting for my mirror after 16 weeks and still waiting for my fourth molding piece after 12 weeks to arrive and then be polished.
Plus they are expensive, to rechrome a bumper they want $600 where I can send them to TriCity for $400.
I will never use them again and I do not recommend anyone else to use them either.
