Pricing
Quotes
We will give you an estimated price based on your description and pictures that you email or call us about. However, that price will not be confirmed until you provide us with the parts to inspect. Occasionally the parts are in worse shape than is viewable from a picture and the price will be adjusted accordingly at that time. Please keep in mind there is no way to give an exact price from a picture or description.
Item Pricing
Once received please provide us with the year, make and model of your parts or restoration. We will give you a WRITTEN ESTIMATE based on the inspected parts you have provided. Parts are priced by size, condition, type of material and detail. Once the estimate is accepted and confirmed by email we will ask for a deposit to get the job started.
Updated Estimates
Occasionally, the part that comes in is not what we were expecting, and it will be priced accordingly at that time. We strive to give accurate prices but occasionally find a part that is too far gone to plate to the level of quality we desire. We reserve the right to turn down such jobs and never make promises to you we cannot keep.
Deposits
We ask for a minimum 50% deposit ( cash, check or ZELLE only) once we receive your parts and have the exact total. The balance due is payable upon completion of the job.
Sales Taxes
Sales tax is added to all jobs. Businesses may provide a current resale certificate and have the sales tax removed.
Payment Methods
We accept payment by CASH, CHECK, AND ZELLE ONLY. SORRY, NO DEBIT OR CREDITS OF ANY KIND.
Business Accounts
Businesses may provide a current resale certificate before the job is completed and no tax will be charged. Once invoiced without a resale certificate the sales tax will not be removed. Please provide us with a Business card or business license showing all contact information, including email when you send in your deposit. We DO NOT offer Net 30 billing.
Completion Time
In-shop times vary upon size and type of job. All jobs are completed in the order they are received. Restoration of pot metal and jobs requiring repair work take a great deal of work and time to complete. PLAN AHEAD, don’t wait until the last minute to do your chrome work. It is the first thing to come off your project and the last to go back on. You will be given an ESTIMATED TIME to complete your order. We aim to do a QUALITY JOB RATHER THAN MEET A DEADLINE.
Warranty
Plating is guaranteed to be free from defective workmanship to the original purchaser. Under this warranty the part will be reprocessed, at our option, at no charge for the plating. The part must be returned to us with a copy of the original invoice. There is no warranty for any pot metal parts that blister after plating. Pot metal will continue to corrode even after it has been restored.
The warranty covers a period of one (1) year from the date the part was originally processed, not from the date of installation on automotive parts. Motorcycle parts have a two (2) year warranty, the second year being pro-rated. We pay no disassembly and/or assembly cost.
Automotive bumpers have a two (2) year warranty, from the day they were originally processed. No other warranty is either expressed or implied.
Shipping
Nationwide Shipping
We ship UPS ground once the job is completed & packaged. If you prefer shipping through US Postal Service please let us know.
We Do Not Ship Completed Bumper Jobs
You are welcome to ship bumpers needing to be plated to us, however, we ask that you PICK THEM UP WHEN DONE. We have had multiple problems shipping finished bumpers back when done.
