Auto Restoration of Long Island 45 Ramsey Road, Shirley, NY 11967

"My experience with this car restoration service was a total letdown. Chuck, the so-called expert, turned out to be a real disappointment. I handed over two classic cars and got back a load of problems. One car sat there collecting dust for ages, only to be rushed through when Chuck felt like it. And surprise, it came back with a bunch of promised fixes left undone. The other car? Well, it came back with more issues than when I dropped it off. Chuck kept promising to fix things but never bothered. Excuses about "making room" in the shop became old fast. Communication dropped, and now I'm stuck with regrets. Save yourself the headache and steer clear of this place."

"BEWARE! This guy Chuck is a liar and a con man. I brought TWO of my classic cars to him for repairs and restoration. He charged me tens of thousands of dollars. One of my cars he had for a year and a half and for most of that time it sat there untouched and then he did a rush job when he decided he wanted the car out of there. He delivered it back to me without having done a huge list of things he promised to do. The other car was delivered back to me with more problems than when I first brought it to him. He promised he would get the cars back into the shop and make good on the items that were not done/not done properly but he never did. He strung me along for over a year saying he had to “make room” in the shop by getting other cars out. Eventually he stopped answering my calls and texts. See you in court, Chuck!"

"Zero stars as this has been one of the worst if not the worst experiences we’ve had with any business. We brought in our 1966 mustang to have a few updates in January. Unfortunately paid a large sum upfront. It was promised to be completed by summer. Over 2 years later we still did not have our car back. As you can imagine our patience all but ran out especially when Chuck (the owner) went mia for several weeks. Not returning calls or texts. When we finally got our car back. One by one it started breaking down. Each time we took it to our local shop who told us, and sent pictures, of everything that was done incorrectly. From missing parts to loose bolts and screws. Since we’ve had it back we haven’t been able to drive it at all. We learned a very costly lesson. So please run fast away from this company."

"I judged the process by all past car experiences now nothing about restoration the car was picked up in March and finished and returned in November I had not experience with this. With this process you don’t know how much it’s going to cost until the final bill this world of restoration was new to me. Many times i wanted to quit seek the car or give up. Being completely in the dark about completion date and final price we’re new to me and the final bill was not small. $50@k new engine ,new suspension,new transmission New radiator ,fuel lines at the end of the day I’ve discovered from this experience that one has to just open their check book take down their calendar and just understand this is an expensive hobby. At the end this 1975 corvette cost more to restore than its market value but its a mechanic s are brand new. Next summer the interior"
