The customer service and work was excellent.

First off, this was my mistake for not getting a quote. A friend of mine who uses this company often, recommended them to powder coat a few engine parts. A new Edelbrock intake manifold, a set of clean, blasted, cast iron headers, and a box of small parts. The headers were ceramic coated, and the other parts plain black. I went to pick them up, and was shocked when I was presented a bill for almost 700.00 (780 total after tax and the 22.00 charge to use my credit card because I don't carry close to a grand around in my pocket.). I couldn't contest it cause I didn't ask. That said, it was (285 to coat the headers, 290 for the intake manifold, 100 for the small parts) This isn't my first experience with powder coating. I have had things coated before (2 4.5 x 8 ft gates cost me 300.00 a week ago in northern California.), so, before I said anything, I called 4 other shops (Denmac, And Primo powder coating along with 2 others). They quoted me 300 to do both intake and exhaust, which is what I had figured I initially. Bill should have been about 400+tax. I don't begrudge anyone their profit, or how they do business. It was completely my fault for not checking first. At the same thing me, I can't recommend them to anyone based on their pricing. Sorry guys, I can't see paying double for the same work all over town. No problem with the work, just don't want to pay sucker prices for it. I learned my lesson. Never again.

Place is the bomb. Been coming here for years and always leaving satisfied. Tried other local shops for coating recently because of various reasons, basically pricing, and ended up regretting every bit of it.

Hey Larry, sorry I did not have the time to write a full review in the moment, but I remember the morning clearly and will gladly share my experience. I was supposed to pick up parts that morning so I went in and stood in front of the counter for a second before Kelly saw me and said something along the lines of "one sec bud." He was on the phone so I waited for a minute to let him finish up what I thought was a business related call and get back to me. From what I heard the call was actually to a friend about his upcoming weekend RV trip with the guys where they would be hauling motorcycles. After this conversation went on for about 10 minutes he finally wraps it up and tells me to wait another minute while he taps on his cellphone. I figured this next call was just going be a quick business call so I sat down on an ugly white powder coated lawn chair to wait. The call started with "Hey dude how's it going" and I laughed. This call also turned out to be about some weekend motorcycle trip. I paced around the shop to make sure Kelly could see I still existed but after another 15 minutes I finally interrupted him to say I had limited time. He quietly sighed and told his friend he'd call him back as he went to go look for my parts. The most amusing bit is that after all of that my parts weren't even ready yet. 25 minutes of waiting plus the time it took to get there isn't really that much wasted time in the long run and usually I have more patience than that but Kelly and his comically meaningless conversations rubbed me the wrong way that day. The order wasn't under my name but I can give you the information over phone if you need proof. Thanks, sorry, and tell Kelly I hope he had a fun trip.
