I have a custom 1988 Ford Taurus Wagon show car I'm working on. I drove all the way to Dayton, Ohio from Detroit, Michigan to give this company my business. It was dropped of April and I just drove to check on my rides status on 4/18/02.
They refued to let me see my vehicle and called the police! I later found out that they pushed my car out the rear and left it in an alley UNFINISHED with many custom items provided to them missing! I have of course filed a police report, will notify the Better Business Bureau and contact my attorney.
Oh, by the way... My hood wouldn't close, the car wouldn't start, the rear hatch wouldn't close. A TOTAL RIP OFF!
Since my car has been there this company has changed their name three times: From Hack Shack of Dayton... To Strictly Modified Customs... To Strictly FX! I never received regular updates on my vehicle over the year time frame it was there.
When I emailed them they responded 15% of the time (almost never). They have $700.00 from me and $1300.00 was the total bill. I refused to pay all the money till I was satisfied with the work first.
Here is the custom work that was suppose to have been performed:
Reverse hood, install Aurora 2001 Head Lights, install Ford F-150 Euro Tail Lights, door poppers, ground effects, french front antannae... Etc. None of these was completed.
i doubt if it takes any company 1 year to do all these modifications. If you saw the pictures of what they did, you would laugh... I of course had tears in my eyes and full of frustration.
I WARN EVERYONE NOT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. I am a professional in the automotive industry (Product Engineer) and know that busines should never be done this way!
