Nice, closer to home. First review because it's the newest. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the leads.

the best advice you can give a person in business is never forget how you got here. unfortunately these guys didn't build this business, they bought it from a great family who served all of us in the area for decades, and have no idea how it was built. I have left parts in the past, service and quality was good. this time, I left parts to be done. over a month .no contact.. I contacted them several times with no return calls, then when i finally got a hold of them, I was quoted nearly twice the original price ... and told several more weeks/months...treated very poorly by manager and staff...no concept of service i would not recommend this place to anyone...hopefully they can figure it out, it's a great business and i hope they do well and are successful in the future

But............two months ago.

"Wow , so beautiful, being one that has had alot of chrome done I'm very particular about the quality. The tell tale scuff marks , wearing grinding down makers marks , none of that with Ogden Chrome, well worth the wait , I would give them more stars if I could."

Speak of waiting, I wonder how my A/C, wire harnesses, window frames are doing, I've had stuff out since Feb. COVID is not the time to be building. I'd have saved thousands as well if this was done when I pulled it. Came across this link. Quite a few in Ca., from what I've read triple plating is the way to go and California can't do it, imports? Nice California protects us from us so much, it's really turned out well for them. https://www.vintagepartsource.com/chrome%20plating.htm
