If you've got the time and energy to bring your vehicle back multiple times and the job STILL ISN'T DONE RIGHT, this is the place for you! Photos are from a chrome delete for me in 2021. They let the car leave their shop multiple times with bubbling and peeling. I recently made the mistake of brining my beater in for window tints which again required multiple returns to fix their work. They even left a huge LED lamp in my car and laminated a huge piece of lint between the tint film and window. If they missed a giant LED lamp in my car, imagine what else they missed! I had plans to do dash cams and remote starts on all my vehicles before winter but ABC Automative just isn't worth the time, energy, or frustration. Find a place that can do the job right the first time

Shame on me for giving this place a second chance. Had them install a rooftop tent on my jeep. Rich refused to give me an estimated price beforehand. Ok maybe he hasn't done one before. I didn't realize the tent came with optional lighting inside. They never called me to ask if I wanted the electric work done. Instead they just added $375 for labor and $78 for wiring to my work order without my express approval. It did not appear on the initial work order and I did not approve nor has planned for this extra charge.

My 1956 Corvette has been in my family for over 40 years. I told Tim that I wanted everything…read morepainted on the car. Which we agreed included the dash and everything that was orange. Tim agreed and told me the dash and all stainless and chrome trim would be removed in preparation for paint. I told Tim multiple times throughout the painting process. That I wanted the job done right. Tim never asked if I had a budget in mind. Nor did I have one. Because again I wanted the job done right. I made the mistake of trusting Tim and never got a written contract from Tim. Only a verbal . . . Tim called me once the project began to tell me that " everything came off of the car easily". And that nothing broke. I came in to pick up the trim. Tim told me that he was going to knock $700 off the price. When I got to the shop. I was surprised to see only about half of the cars trim removed. Tim's plan was to tape off the trim and to paint the car with the trim still on it. I was also surprised to see the dash still in the vehicle. Tim's plan was to also tape off the instrument cluster and then to paint it. When asked about verbal agreement. Tim basically through a temper tantrum in his shop. Saying that it didn't need to be done. So the car was painted with the trim still on and the dash still in the car. Tim , told me at a previous date to the painting. That because a leaking pump in the trunk needed to be replaced. And that he needed to replace two seat covers. That i asked him to replace. And the car was in an accident. He needed to raise the price $3200 more than the most recent quote. It didn't take long to prove that the car was never in an accident. And Tim was clearly lying. He also decided later on that he wasn't going to replace the seat covers. But Tim never brought the price back to his original quote plus the cost of the pump replacement. Once the car was finished. I asked Tim to fix multiple issues including: missing paint under dash that he painted already peeling paint on dash already peeling paint near passenger side window unpainted area in the passenger side door hinge unpainted floor underneath carpet patch on floor carpet from incorrect install unpainted interior doors unpainted area under deck lid unpainted areas inside truck that he painted unpainted door trim over spray on windows missing paint in inside of glove box multiple visible primer spots throughout car due to not properly removing trim not replacing the door panels, kick panels or windshield wipers cracked driver side window because the trim or window wasn't removed from the door before painting and sanding only painting one side of the rims Once the car was home I found multiple imperfections in the paint. Including missing paint(that would not be covered up) , scratches , swirl marks and areas that were not filled with filler. But just sprayed with paint. I believe the original paint job was better. Tim made what should of been an exciting experience. A tense and terrible experience. Due to his aggressive outbursts. Here is why you shouldn't go to Alcalde Customs. Update: so since I can't reply to Tim's reply of my review. I will update my review with a response. In regards to me not complaining. That's just another of Tim's bold faced lies. Which Tim does as easily as he breaths. I asked Tim about multiple issues. And Tim preceded to throw what, I can only explain as a grown man throwing a temper tantrum. And when I attempted to remove my car. Tim threatened to charge me the full price and keep my car parts. And in regards to him saying to bring my car in and he will fix it. I wouldn't trust Tim at this point with his finger paints and my piece of paper. And secondly please feel free to call me. And I will show you pictures of the texts of him refusing to fix any and all issues. And the last text of him saying that I'm " blocked". When referring to the huge chunk of paint. Missing from the dash he painted on my car. And any questions(773-419-5775 ) Also please refer to the picture of the bogus check , Tim lies about

He was even able to paint over the chrome bezels and hinges perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results! I'll definitely be using Alcalde Customs for all of my paint work!

Tony recommended at the time that they could also install led lighting on the bottom side of the doors for better lighting and added highlight. The after effect was beautiful as you can see from the photos attached. Over the last couple weeks the doors stopped functioning smoothly so I called Shockwave this morning to see about realigning the hinges. Ten minutes later, I received a message back to bring the car back anytime before 6pm closing. I stopped in during lunch break unannounced today. Their service technician stopped his current project and immediately grabbed the correct tools and readjusted both doors. 15 minutes later I was back on the road - No Charge. It would have been faster if I didn't keep asking him questions. Great Service! Great Attitude! Thank you! Kevin C.

He charged my almost triple what we agreed on, he work from home, it's not an actual shop! When we argued almost got physical couple of times and since we're in his house your options are limited. He literally called a dent on the car , and said this need to be addressed, I asked him to fix it, which he did , but he damaged it again while putting the bumper back and yet still charged me for it . When I asked him how come you're charging me for something you didn't even fix , he's like well the car stayed 2 weeks at the shop you can consider a storage fee!! So unprofessional, maybe the old guy was the man but Chase was a complete waste of time and money. I paid the guy what he asked for cause I really didn't want him to cause more damage to the car. as I don't really have time or energy to deal with such attitude and work ethic , even tho I should have took it to the court! I have proof for everything I just mentioned, and I'm more than happy to show it to anyone who might be interested before working with such person. Very disappointed.
