I bought a 1969 Camaro that needed to be restored , I contacted the Goodfellaz Customs LLC body shop in Indian trail NC and asked them if they could come and look at the car and give me an estimate on how much it was going to cost to get it fix the right way. One of the owners and another employee came and spent about two hours looking at the car and told me they'll get back to me with an estimate.
Three days later I received the estimate of $29,000.00 + to fix it, I went and talked to them and clearly told them that I didn't have too much money and if there was anything they could do. They reduced the price to $22,000.00 and told me that I needed to give a down payment of $10,000.00 to get started and they would have the car ready in three months. Three months went by and when I went to look at the car and it was in pieces, they told me they needed more money and I gave them another $5000.00 dollars and asked them if the car would be ready by March and they told me that they didn't see why not (this was going to be my dream car) at the end of February, I received a phone call from them and they stated that they needed to see me about the car, now almost 6 months later they tell me that it was going to cost me about $75,000.00 to $100,000.00 to get my car ready, but the car was in the same condition it was two month back. Why didn't they tell me this the first month the car was there and before I spent all that money, to them $15,000.00 may not be much but when you don't have that kind of money it's a lot,
I told them I didn't have that kind of money and one of them told me to think about it and he walked away. I finally talked to me friend and we agreed that it was best to take my losses and get the car out of there. When I went to pick up my car, they had the nerves to tell me that I still owe them $475.00 more dollars for the work they had done. They turned my dream car turned into my worst nightmare. What a mistake I made, I lost a huge amount of money and finally sold what was left of the car for pennies on the dollar. I'm taking time to write this to prevent someone else in make the same mistake. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE I MADE, STAY AWAY FROM THAT PLACE. read more
