    First of all if Dan has anything of yours RUN. He will take your money. Lie to you with every…read moreexcuse in the book, let your ride rot in a field. Took my truck to him to paint the bed 3 years ago still do not have the bed. Found many others he's done this to also. Dan Straatsma is a liar!!

    My name is Phillip G.I am a retired Sergeant with JSO and I am a Veteran serve in the United States…read moreMarine Corp but I have a major problem I really need your help in getting some answers from "The Workshop" formerly name River City Powder Coating. The owner, Dan Straatsma has had my Acura SUV for over 6 years to put in an engine and transmission. He was paid in a cashiers check from my credit union (community first credit union) for $2900 of the $4500 in May of 2018 and was suppose to be paid the remaining $1600 when the job was completed in 3 months but he has failed to do so my Acura SUV. I have went to his place of business at least 30-40 times in the past 6 years to no avail.   He has been promising me my Acura Suv for over 6 years and 5 months now. Every week for 6 years and 5 mos he has been giving me one excuse after another. Sometimes he ignores my calls all together and won't even answer my calls or texts .  I have numerous text messages, voice mails messages and even agreed recorded conversation from him and myself where Dan has promising me deadlines after deadline  from my Acura being completed. Originally the completion date was supposed to be August of 2018. I have been very patient with him but I'm  tired of him playing with me my time,my money and playing with feelings and him knowing the memories of my Acura that me and my deceased daughter shared and him (Dan) keep promising deadlines that he don't go through with.  My SUV is very sentimental because my deceased daughter loved that SUV  and I promised it to her when she turned 16 but unfortunately she passed away from leukemia at the tender  age of 11 but the day before she passed away she wanted me and her mom to pick her up from Children hospital in our Acura SLX and we did but the next day she passed away 11-9-1999 . So, I promise myself that when I retired from the Sheriff Department that one day I would have my Acura remodel in honor of her (My Daughter Ja'nella ). , what sad is that Dan knows all of this and what this Acura means to me but apparently he doesn't care and my patience is wearing very thin with him.  Before i placed my Acura in his shop, I had just had gotten my Acura remodeled for over $5000 including paint job and body works redone on my Acura SLX remodel from1996 to a 1999 with under custom work done from another shop and they done a wonderful job. but now whenever I go to Dan 's shop My Acura has scratches and dents on it and the paint clear coat is peeling off and my interior in the seats has cracked and it is my opinion, it's being treated like shit; excuse my language but I don't know what else to do sir.  Can someone please help me  with this? Dan, usually does good work and he have been working on my vehicles for years before this job and I have always paid him on time. I don't know what else to do because I can't get the past 6 years and 5 mos of time back. Then when he gets mad he say things like "well if you can't wait, I can give you your money back and place your Acura outside my shop gates . But the problem with that is the Acura being rewired and modified for a 6.0 GM when it originally had a 3.2 liters. I even asked him on numerous occasions if he can't do it  just put another Acura engine and transmission inside it but be promise he could and that if he couldn't he would not have suggest it, but I can't tell because it's now 6 years and five mos later and still no Acura.  The address and phone number is listed below.  P.S. Warning he Dan is a very Good with words and usually a good do good work but 6 years and 5 mos is ridiculous on a job that was only supposed to take three months. I gave him the money April 2018. It is now August 2024 and he still making promises that is kept. I posted pictures of how my Acura look when I drove it to his shop after I had it remodeled and what it looks like today. This Acura is all I have besides memories of my deceased little girl. At this point, I don't even feel that is right that he should've charged me anything but all I know is My name is P.J.

    Jeff is the best at his craft. We always take our vehicles to him because we know we will be happy…read moreonce completed. He is an artist and every one of his jobs looks too notch!

    I can't speak to the quality of work as my 1995 F-150 truck never made it to the paint booth after…read moresitting on their lot for almost 3 months! This was to be a self-pay job and not an insurance claim. ACCURATE DETAILS BELOW: Brought truck in for a full paint job estimate on March 29th 2023. Seeing as how the truck wasn't a collectors item or candidate for a full restoration, The owner Jeff recommended a "mid range" job which consisted of removing the bed of the truck , no glass removal, no door jamb paint and no interior bed paint as I was getting a spray in liner. He gave me a ballpark estimate for the job. I agreed and said "lets do it!". He stated that he wasn't taking new clients until May and asked his scheduler to put me down for May 1st 2023. I dropped my truck off as requested on May 1st. When I got there Jeff said it would be two weeks before he could start the job. I was disappointed but figured they were busy and that I would need to be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt. After three weeks passed (figuring I'd give him a bit more that the two-week timeline he put forth), and not having the use of my truck, I called and asked if he knew when he'd be able to start. He simply responded "No, sir". Not reassurance. No explanation. No Nothing. I began to get concerned because my truck was parked out in the front lot with expensive replacement parts locked in the cab and a brand new chrome bumper in the open bed of the truck. I was concerned things might get stolen even though they have a surveilled lot. I called and asked if they would be able to bring the new chrome bumper inside so that it was not sitting out in the elements and so that it wouldn't get stolen. The woman who answered my request was very kind and assured me the bumper would taken inside that day and that they would be glad to do it. I went to check on my truck the Sunday a few days after my request and the bumper was still sitting in the bed of the truck now water logged in its box. After politely reminding them again, the bumper was brought inside a few days later. Over a month had now past since I dropped off my truck. I didn't want to be a pest and constantly call, so I didn't. I was beginning to think they probably just forgot about me or that perhaps my job was not really a priority. Maybe not big enough of a job? Maybe too small of a job? I wouldn't know because there was zero communication on Paint Pro's end. I went into the shop one more time on June 15th. I went with carpet samples as I was wanting to color match so I could install carpet myself when job was done. Had a friendly short conversation with Jeff and even talked about getting pinstripping from a guy he uses. I thought MAYBE now he would talk about starting the job. No such luck. I contacted Jeff on June23rd via text to check in. Pleasant exchange. He showed me pics of some cool smaller projects he was working on as well as him stating he dealt with a lot of "fast cash" jobs. Powdercoating, insurance work, dealer work, city work, etc. I assume my truck was not a "fast cash" job, hence not a priority. My last encounter with Paint Pro's was on July 21st. I couldn't wait any longer after almost 3 months without the use of my truck. It was a Friday. The doors were locked and I thought they were closed. I called Jeffs number and he explained they were appt. only that day but he was at the shop. Told him I was waiting outside and needed to pick up my truck. He came through the shop, got my truck from out back, put the bumper back in the bed of the truck. We parted ways. No apology. No explanation. No Nothing. Truck hadn't been touched for 3 months aside to moving it from the front parking to the back secured parking. Jeff seems like he does great work and is a seemingly friendly guy, but my experience was very frustrating and disappointing.
