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.

I had a great experience with Powdertech Plus…read more I was working on a project (a bike build). The paint on the used bike frame I purchased was not in desirable condition, despite how much I tried to cover all its scratches; "sore spots". So Option B came to mind....to powder coat all the frame and parts. I dealt with Richard, the owner of Powdertech. The process was fairly easy. Just provide him all the parts needed to be powder coated (parts are to be stripped off, nuts and bolts removed, etc). All parts are then sand blasted to bare metal finish and smoothed out. Then that is where it goes through a powder coating process and the parts are "baked" into a 400 degree oven until finished. So why powder coat and not paint? Let me lay out the benefits... * Smoother texture * More durable * More resistant to chipping, scratching and fading * Longer-lasting * Corrosion resistant * Wide range of colors to choose from (up to 6500+ colors) All in all, I received my parts back in about 7 days despite how busy the shop was with orders. The parts looked brand new and I was definitely pleased with how my overall bike build turned out.

Waited another week and finally went in today and picked up my parts that had not been touched. Was never even asked why I wanted them back or offered a reason why the work was not done. No communication skills and it seems they do not know how to use a phone or return calls. Would not recommend at all. Took the parts to 904 Powderworx and told them the issue, not only are they coating the parts, they have heard this same story about them and picked up lots of new customers because of it.

A stop by the office to meet with the lady at the desk and schedule the first appointment. The owner came out and did measurements. I went out and saw him and discuss what I was looking to get for a custom gate that would also prevent my three little dogs from going through it. After he was done with his measurements he left without ever saying anything to me. About a month later I called to find out what the status was and was told that he was getting the design together and will be sending it to me soon. Shortly after that I received an email with the design and my wife and I returned back to the office to discuss changes to that design to make sure that our little dogs cannot go through the gate. A month later they scheduled a "final measurement appointment" but did not show up on that appointment day. We were notified that he was busy and would be rescheduled for the following week. Unfortunately no one showed up on that day either. He must have stopped by because a few more months later I was told they were ready for a down payment and to finalize the plan. We again stoped by the office and discussed things with the ladies and put our down payment in. A few more months later and I called to find out how things were progressing. Finishing soon then will call me to schedule the install. I called another month later and made the appointment for the Instal. I called the morning of the install to make sure we were still a go and was told "sorry they were behind and would have to reschedule the next week. Today called again to confirm and YES. They will be out after noon. Checked in at 3 and still going. At 5 I received a call to ask if I still wanted to get it installed today or first thing in the morning. This was my only day off so they did install it @5pm. They were very good and did a great job. The gait looks great and will be looking good for decades to come.
