My apologies to the forum moderators. I feel this post is necessary to warn the forum members of the problems YOU WILL encounter if you deal with theshop LLC. This November will be 5 years since I placed an order for door panels and rear side panels with the theshop LLC. Worst decision I ever made. I did receive the door panels and the lower section of the rear side panels, but the top section seems to have been his achilles heel. I must have called him at least 100 times. When he decides to call back, I'm bombarded with excuses. I'm so efn tired of playing these games with him. He keeps telling me that he has two chevelles in his shop he has been trying to complete. I've heard that excuse about 20 times. The worst part about all of this is I had to modify my rear seat frame by a total of 6" to accept his deeper side panels. I can't exactly turn back unless I'm willing to spend thousands more to buy a new seat frame and re-upholster and then try and build new side panels to look like the rest of my interior. Here's a very short list of excuses I've heard;

• To many cars in the shop
• Went through two hurricanes
• Building is being fumigated
• Surgery on his finger
• Surgery on his foot
• Dog died
• Uncle died
• Taking a holiday

The list is so long I will likely run out of available characters I'm able to use in the post. I'm convinced because I live in Canada he just puts me off. I will leave it at this, If I can pass on any advice, STAY AWAY FROM THESHOP LLC !!!!!!!!!

Again, my apologies to the moderators.

Thanks Perry, Sound like someone is in over their heads. Sadly it is common in small restoration shop/small businesses. Someone pays upfront for some work the guy falls behind and needs next month rent so he is taking new work that he can not finish. Eventually he builds a rep and goes under. The LLC means he can just walk away. I have even seen this in plain old body shops.

Sorry man but the sooner we get word the sooner he will fail or restructure and the less people will ripped off.
