they did outstanding work on my 84 caprice classic chrome thand you guys bringing in more chrome

Sherman was recommended by a new friend. I can honestly say I was not disappointed. These guys and girl were very good to me. They were friendly and respectful. They even allowed me to make two payments before picking up my parts. As for the parts , they shined brighter than I expected. I'm going to use these guys again and again. Thank you Sherm's read more

Let's start off by saying anytime I leave a review for any company or business I leave the honest truth about my experience there cause I feel that's very important in the world we live in. I called this company and spoke to Kelly the receptionist she told me to come down with my piece and she would look at it. I brought it down and the piece needed holes drilled in it so they have a area to hang the piece totally understandable so I took it to my shop and drilled holes and dropped it off the Following Monday she told me that she would call me with a quote in a few days. A week goes by and no call or anything. So i decided to call them and she answered and told me that they haven't started on it and as soon as they do she would call me when it's done. Another week goes by and I call again and she answers and is very rude and says I will call you when it's ready so I don't want to be rude I said ok no problem. So another week goes by and I finally call today and she answers and says oh yeah I tried to call you and let you know it was ready, are you serious lady what's wrong with you I've been calling every week and checking up on it and then you tell me when I call that you tried calling that's a lie sell it to someone else never did I receive any call From this company or Her. Where's the communication here folks by law you are supposed to give a written quote to the customer before you do any work on anything if there's that's the Law. Anyhow I drive down there to be told that I Owe them $440 in which there's a 3% fee for there merchant service on there for $13.20 I said you can't charge that fee unless the customer pays with a credit card and she told me to either go get cash or nothing. Well they don't even offer the customer to use a debit car so that means there charging all there customers 3% regardless of how your paying . They don't even have an updated merchant service machine that excepts Apple Pay or anything so I know there merchant service fees are maybe 1% or lower. They won't upgrade cause they rip people off by charging them 3% no matter what. Anyhow the rude owner or whoever the over weight guy was that stood up out of his chair like he was intimidating me lol what a joke old man . Communication is key in this business that's all I wanted from the gate and this place lacks communication, customer service, and their pricing is ridiculous they are way overpriced. Definitely won't use this place again and I won't recommend it to anyone or club I know that is in the car Game. If the owner wants to call me and accept responsibility for their mistake then I'll consider taking my review down until the accept responsibility then it will stay up! read more

Met Sherm's employee, Richard, at a recent car show. We discussed restoration of my vehicle. His vast knowledge was impressive & we since have used his reference with outstanding outcomes. He recommended for the chrome work the company for whom he works, Sherm's. He is a great field representative for his employer's company. He had people approach him while we chatted. What an asset to have such a dedicated employee with the associated expertise. Thanks! read more

I had Sherms plate the pieces on the front end of my 1956 Chevrolet 210. The customer service was excellent and I knew exactly what was involved with what I was paying for. I received the parts back after about 3 months. Out of the approximately 20 pieces I brought them i was concerned about a few small blemishes on 3 pieces. I contacted Kelly and she provided me a call tag. I shipped the pieces on a Wednesday and had them back Friday evening, completely fixed and ready to be put on the car. That was a impressive turn around and shows they honor there quality of work. Will always use them as they are local and the service they provide is fantastic. Could not be happier! read more

We were looking all over for a place to restore our 1928 Theater's water fountain, that was found tucked away hidden from plain sight in an attic in our historical theatre. We went through 4 places, everyone turned down the work because they did not want the risk of damaging it or didn't specialize in the work. The last place we contacted said, the only place they would trust handling that project would be Sherm's, which was like 2.5 hours away from us. As this was the last bit of work that we needed done, before re-opening our doors to the world, since being shut down for the last year, we made the trek to Sherm's and met Kelly, who was incredibly awesome, usually the waiting time is like 6 to 8 weeks, but we really needed it to be done sooner, as we did not want to show off our newly renovated theatre without it, and we were already struggling being closed for so long. The Fox Theater and the community that patronizes it thanks you all for the beautiful work in restoring this historic feature and allowing us to open on time! read more

See all

Has your bling lost some of it's bling? Sherm's will restore your shiny stuff for you! Yeah, they're not cheap, but the pros use them (my shop sent me here), and they stand behind their work. They restored and rechromed some of my 1966 Chevelle Super Sport window moldings and the work is top notch. Highly recommended! read more

I'll tell you what .... I came all the way from the Bay Area because I was told Sherm's was the best. They went above and beyond what I was expecting for my truck parts !!!!! Amazing craftsmanship and pride in their work !!!! I'll be back and anyone who asks for a plating spot - I'm def telling them Sherm's !!!! Thanks !!! Aaron Roach read more

Great company great people I went in the other day to get some small items chrome the manager or owner explained to me that I could get the same effect by just polishing an I wouldn't lose any detail an showed me how to do it I'll definitely get any plating I need in the future here it's outta my way but just the honest straight forward answer I got was great an I will recommend to anyone who needs any plate work to this company amazing an thank you read more

Took pieces of my antique doctor's scale to Sherm's to be be nickel plated a few weeks ago. Just picked them up and the plating is flawless. Everything was wrapped in protective foam and paper. All the parts were photographed before plating and checked off as they were finished, insuring all the small pieces were accounted for. This was a concern of mine being that the pieces are not replaceable. It's a little had to find but well worth the effort. The scale looks like it just came out of Fairbanks showroom. Perfect in every way. read more

I will not get into the managers/owner's lack of professionalism, because it really doesn't matter. Quality is the issue, poor workmanship for reparation poor outcome. I was warned against this shop because of this problem, but I thought it's a small job. Do yourself a favor, go to AAA chrome, they understand show quality and what it takes to do this kind of work. I have no choice but to stand down and pain this focal piece of this motorcycle, I cannot show it the way it is. read more

The price these people charge for plating is expensive and although the girl answering the phone is nice, she runs interference for the guy actually doing the work. So when you have questions, there's a bunch of back and forth wasted time. On top of the high cost to do the work, they hammer you for shipping your items back. It was three times the cost for them to ship my items back to me and the excuse was better packaging and expensive insurance. Never again Sherm's read more

I have three items from my 60's Avion Truck Camper restoration - two nameplates and a back door handle - that were badly pitted. They are made of pot metal so a little more complicated to chrome. I took them to the most recommended shop in San Jose. These guys said the parts were too badly pitted to give a good result. Recently I learned about Sherm's from a custom car guy in Watsonville. I sent them pictures of the items and promptly got a quote back from Kelly. It was pricey but, based on the recommendations, I went ahead. The chromed parts arrived about a month later. They look fabulous - like new! I am very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to use Sherm's again. Thanks for a great job and great service. read more

I had my bumpers for my 1965 corvette chrome plated in Lodi and after 1 1/2 years I noticed they were cracking and pealing I called the shop but they would not stand behind their inferior work. I decided to take my bumpers to Sherms and I just got my bumpers back from Sherms last Tuesday and put them on my car on Saturday, I can't believe how beautiful they are, just like mirrors, so smooth, no waves like before. The bumpers didn't fit very well before I had to fight with them to look right. They went on so smooth everything lines up perfect and my car has never looked better. Well worth the money and well worth the wait. Don't waste your time shopping for the deal or trying to get your stuff back quick you will be disappointed like I was and out $1800. I should have brought my bumpers here in the first place. I don't have a lot of money but this you can not skimp on. I will be bringing all of my chrome here from now on. read more

Just picked up chrome work from Sherm's Custom Plating. Took my items down there for an estimate, and ended up getting a complete tour of the building. Art runs a stand up business! Picked up my items when they said they were going to be done and the work is absolutely a flawless! I know people comment on the cost of some items, but the old adage of "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here. Do it once, do it right and you're better off financially in the end. Great company to deal with, and thanks go to Kelly too for putting up with my bringing in extra pieces! Pat M. read more

I sent them a Corvette 7 fin valve cover to have chrome plated. They charged close to 300.00 to do the job which would have been fine if they had done the job correctly. They sent it back without having polished the area between the fins. It looks terrible and doesn't match the other one I have. I have heard a lot of good things about Sherms and they certainly charge downtown prices. Unfortunately the quality of this job was sub-standard. read more

Had them polish/restore some of the stainless for a car that I'm restoring. Very happy with the quality of the work and the finished product. Shop is well-run and professional. Would use them again. read more

Outstanding customer service. High quality chrome perfect for car and motorcycle builders. I was quoted a certain price for a three week timeline on my motorcycle parts. There was a miscommunication and nearly six weeks later I received the parts. Sherman took responsibility for the timeline error and compensated me accordingly. Honest business people. I will use Sherms again! read more

WOW! OMG! My wife and I have a house in Marin with a bath tub that is in pretty good condition, but the tub handles and faucets (solid brass) Kohler were in very poor condition. But they were solid brass from back from when Kohler was really good stuff made in the USA. I looked around and I decided to take the parts 90 miles to Sherm's. It took a while, but I had time and the finished job was absolutely awesome. The appearance is better than new and they meticulously pack the parts to prevent scratching. Every part was a jewel and the finished installation is absolutely amazing. I even had two screws that needed a chrome head and I was quite worried that the threads would be oversize when returned - not to be concerned - the threads went in perfectly. these guys are the absolute super best. From Kelly at the front desk who calls you when your job is ready to the guys in the shop - top kuddos . read more
