Place is a joke, No one answers the phone, emails, or text. They take your vehicle and never contact you, accept to let you know it's going to be an enormous bill. Dropped car off in Oct 24 and got it back in May 25. On the way home found the steering wheel now had @6inches of play making the ride home dangerous. Called and told them to come pick the car up as I was not driving it in that condition. Once they had it back in the shop they charged me another @$2300 to fix the related issues. Car still had several inches of play in the steering but their invoice said they checked with a dealer and this was normal. Curious what Karman Ghia dealt they check with. They couldn't tell me. Had to take several days off work to drive 30 miles to the place to see if the car was being worked on. They always had an excuse why it wasn't done. They don't care about their customer's, just their customer's money. read more

Horrible communication. You get an estimate from Benhase and assume you will pay more at the end of the day up to 100% over estimate. They hide behind the "time and materials shop" quote. It doesn't matter if their guy is sick and spending their time in the bathroom, you get billed the time they are (suppose) to be on your car. My restoration was agreed upon I would be part of process and yet things were not communicated to me and according to them it was my fault. I was quoted "apprentice hours and was billed for full rate. When asked to speak to someone it took 3 months to actually speak to anyone and I had to demand to speak to owner. All the while waiting to speak to someone, I was harassed to make a payment. When I was given the opportunity to present my issues to the owner, he gave me a minimal discount, but not what was presented in my estimate contract. I was promised a cache of photos of the restoration of my vehicle. I was promised access to photos on a weekly basis of what the vehicle looked like before they started and what was actually done. I received none of that. One of the reasons I chose here was to document the work being done. I had 5 project managers due to retirement and COVID, but not once did any of the replacements ask for a meeting to discuss what my restoration was to be. Not one replacement manager asked to understand what was on the estimate and what my expectations were for the estimate. I had to move right at the conclusion of the restoration of which, I wanted it to be done so I could stop the hemorrhaging of money. Arranging transport and receiving my vehicle in FL. To date, it doesn't start without giving it gas which it should not because it has a new fuel injection system. It overheats, which begs to question if the new electric fan was installed properly since it doesn't turn on. They replaced the glove box insert with a new one, but the light isn't seen because they didn't bother to knock out the hole or even bother to check to see what was stock. I don't even know where the parts came from or if they were made as replacements for my vehicle. Bottom line, they are over priced, they do not know every make so be sure to ask specifically for references to your make and model. Do not trust and go as far away as possible from these people if it is a Pontiac you want restored. Be sure if you get references, to ask specific questions like "How much different was out of pocket than estimate?" Just don't go here. When I was nearing completion, they were talking about asking for more than 25% down to start. Don't walk away-run. Go anywhere else. read more

I took my 1968 Corvair here for work and it took over two months to get the work done. One of the main things I wanted done was the rear end lifted so the rear wheel didn't bow out. I ended up taking it to Tire Discounters this week to get the job done right, and it looks terrific. They also charged my $1,500 to get the carbs rebuilt and the car runs worse than it did when I took it there. Benhase is overpriced, slow and they dented my car which I noticed when I got the car home...I would avoid this place at all cost. read more

WAY underbid job. Billed me for parts they didn't replace. Left a lot of things unfinished. Lost parts. Returned car to me so filthy I couldn't see through the windshield. I wouldn't let these people change the oil in my lawn mower. Overbilled for parts or WAY overpaid. Looks like about a 50% markup on parts. I have a list of issues that need addressed that they left unfinished. Very unsatisfied with repair. Car won't even run now. read more

Had clutch replaced . They bid job at 1400.00 but billed finished job at 2400.00. Told them flywheel needed to be turned or replaced,they said it was good. Now with just 1500 miles on new clutch it shaking badly. Had to fix push rod on clutch pedal the day I got it back. Rod was rubbing firewall also had to put on stronger return spring. Found new shop that replaced flywheel and made clutch perfect for very reasonable price. If you charge 85.00 per hour that is a lot of hours just to replace clutch. Jeff pickett read more

Place is a joke! After calling and being told that an estimate would be done in 2 weeks we brought our car in and paid a deposit to "put is in line" Our car sat there for over 2 months and we never heard a word form anyone. I called to find out what was going on and was constantly told how busy they were, how they are short staffed and he (Steve) will get to it when he can. If it take over 2 months to get an estimate then how dear god, I can only imagine how long it would take to get the work done. When we finally do get our estimate they over estimate by listing things that din't even need to me done! It really came across as if they didn't know what the heck they are talking about. After all this we tell them we want to pick up the car. Oh sure they say, just call and schedule a time with the desk. Well we call the desk and she says just stop by during opening hours. Haha, that was a joke. We stopped in 3 times, and each time we were told the car wasn't accessible. (blocked in by other cars). The kicker is they charged us for a 5 hour evaluation! Really?! One that we had to call about to even have done. Also, it was never mentioned that our deposit was to pay for said evaluation. This place is so unorganized. We should have known when we dropped the car off that it was going to be trouble. They acted like there weren't even expecting us the day we dropped it of even though we had called and set this time up! They wasted 4 months of our time and cost a lot of hassle and headache and still had enough never to charge us. DO NOT TAKE YOU VEHICLE TO THIS PLACE! read more
