Vinrods Custom Fabrication
VINCE Complete RIPOFF TERRIBLE WORK OVERCHARGE on 1948 Chevy Coupe Streetrod! Was

Was recommended to take my 1948 Chevy Coupe Streetrod to Vince (The Owner) of Vinrods Custom Fabrication in Las Vegas, Nevada by Corey who is a Partsman at Fairway Chevrolet in Las Vegas, NV! So I called and talked with Vince and told him the New Crate Motor in my 48 Chevy was not performing correctly (350/330 Horse Chevy Vortec, I told him how I had been ripped off for so many years by Shops and Mechanics who guaranteed they would do the work correctly, and that I had spent Thousands of Dollars on this car. Vinrods told me to bring the car in and he would get the Motor running correctly, so I took the car to him in Sept and asked him to install a Sirus Sattelite Radio with a CD Changer, had him take the VDO guages out and replace with Digital Guages, fix the windshield wipers, do some restyling on the Dash, Remote Start, replace the butted windshield with a one piece windshield (which the Shop broke Two One piece Windshild trying to install) finally a new butted windshild was installed.

I agreed to pay him $75.00 an hour for his work, and he promised me the work would be done in a timely amount of time. The first time I went to his Shop, it was very clean, then as the car sit and sit in the shop and outside with the Windshild removed, the door glass was rolled down, My car was Filthy inside and out, I asked him several times to put plastic over the car, which he never did, the Shop was Filthy, disorganized, and as time went on, I would ask Vince if the Car would be ready the next weekend for me to take home, and his answer was always Absolutly, Well after over $11,000 and over a year in his shop, I got the 48 Chevy home in Oct and it would not even run, I called him and called him, and he would not respond. His wife Cathy, pressed me to pay them in full, and that the work was guaranteed, so I payed them in Full, what a mistake that was even going to Vinrods in the First Place.

Work was terrible, not guaranteed as they said, the car was filthy dirty, and I got ripped off big time, I guess every one lives and learns, I would not recommend Vinrods to get a Vehicle worked on, Vinrods does not stand behind his work, and a person had better have a very Full Wallet as they will get every thing they can. I got the car running and drove it about 50 miles when it got T-Boned and totalled, My money was gone, the car lost in a Heartbeat, and guess what VINROD'S Shop in Las Vegas is closed, no current phone number, Website, or Fax Number available in Las Vegas! I heard other Car Owner's complaining about how they were getting ripped off also and the Shop would not stand by what they say! Have no ideal where VINROD'S is as of 12-15-06, I suspect he has moved back to California, or some where on the West Coast, and may be operating under another name, or is sitting in Jail somewhere!
Beware of this business!
