Unreliable. Untrustworthy. Dishonest. If you are considering Specialty Jeeps for a World War II MB or GPW Jeep rebuild or service, GO ELSEWHERE! Bruce and family of Specialty Jeeps can't be trusted. At best he is an unreliable, incompetent liar who doesn't know WWII Jeeps! The service at Specialty Jeeps is absolutely terrible. It is unreliable, incompetent, untrustworthy, and dishonest. I was promised a 10-week turn-around - on a SIGNED CONTRACT - when I sent my World War II Ford GPW for rebuild. Well, that signed contract meant nothing. After numerous delays of every sort: crew problems, health problems, wrong parts, weather... and he kept on with the excuses...10 MONTHS later, the Jeep was returned. TEN MONTHS! And still incomplete at that! 3 MONTHS to disassemble. 4 MONTHS to prep, prime, and paint. 3 MONTHS to reassemble. And another two months to settle. That's a whole year! I'm not even going to go into the pissant excuse given me once that the ten weeks "was just an estimate!" After seven months I was promised a discount on the remaining labor charges: QUOTE: "For the extra time it has taken I am going to discount the remaining labor when it's done." But when returned after 10 MONTHS, the bill was for the full remaining amount. QUOTE:: "I meant discount it not do away with it. I was thinking knocking $500 off it" was his reply. The hell with what he said (in print, like the contract, I guess) and I guess I have to read his mind. His word means nothing. And, when I finally got it back, there were over 30 problems! From the paint job and missing pieces to inop parts, the job was still incomplete and he refuses to fully settle. Large FARBY Vinyl Applique Markings (not Painted!) Most of the hardware wasn't even painted, QUOTE: "some people like the bolt heads painted, some don't" was his reply! It sucked. I had to repaint the vehicle myself. Numerous original parts were not used nor returned and numerous parts were missing including a gas can bracket, wing nuts, hood block welting, horn, lug nuts (wrong size installed), weather stripping, gaskets, and wrong, ill-fitting seat cushions for a WWII vehicle - with moldy wood bottoms to boot! And several things didn't work, such as the speedometer, fuel gauge, emergency brake, blackout light, speedometer, and glove box lid (didn't latch closed because it was missing parts). And the Transfer Case leaks! A few parts (4) he tried to replace were wrong, too boot! 11 MONTHS and still not complete, still broke! So now I have to spend extra to get it back up to standard and it's still not finished! To sum up: What a huge disappointment! Promised in 10 weeks, delivered in 10 MONTHS, and still incomplete. Lied about progress. Lied about discount for delay. Stole parts. Did not follow instructions. He doesn't know World War II Jeeps - variants, appearances, standards, hardware...he doesn't know what's what. If you want a quality, historically accurate rebuild, save yourself time, money, and frustration, GO ELSEWHERE and DON'T GO TO SPECIALTY JEEPS...or you'll be sorry!
