Atomic Speed Shop

"They do good work but their prices are ridiculously astronomical. They recently quoted me 45 hours to do a 4-5 hour job. I used to own a shop and did the type of work being asked, so I know how long it should take. Previously I had work done that I expected to be priced a little high at around $300-$500. It ended up being over $2000. This was my fault as I am used to dealing with people who charge fair prices and did not get a firm price upfront. I gave two stars because the work performed seems to be good but I would never go there again. 45 hours for a 5 hour job is beyond gouging."

"I drove my 1983 blazer over there to get a quote for paint, everybody was hanging out in the office when I went in. I figure it was the owner I was talking to, I described the car and told him I was just looking for a paint job and a little body work. The truck is clean and has one rude spot in a flat panel that needs a piece welded in. I figured a good job would be $4-6k. Without getting up to look at the car he quoted me $40,000-45,000 to paint it and he said it’ll likely go up from there. If you don’t want business, just say so. I can tell it’s busy in there, and they do pretty well, but it might not always be that way. I’ve got three vehicles that are all going to get paint and bodywork in the next few years, might be good business to not be cute with potential customers and loose their business for good. I have a hard time believing that of the 25 cars he said they were working on in there (all of which I saw were not worth the 45k paint job he was selling) anybody is paying that much. Thank you. Picture of the truck below, so you see it’s not a basket case."

"Seams to be a great place to get a full restoration of your retro vehicle. If you need engine work this is it. Just a very welcoming place, from the receptionist, employees, and owner. Definitely using this place for all my vehicle restoration needs."

"Worst expierence ever!!! What a bunch of liars!!! The cost to rebuild my engine was 4 times the original quote and took over 7 months. After all was said and done and complete engine failure they wouldnt lift a finger to help. They just blew me off. They should have their customers best interest at heart. Bottom line is they ripped me off!!!"

"They had my car for several months to rebuild the engine in my mustang after they told me it would just take a couple of months. The cost was also well over twice what the original estimate was. I have had to take it back to them three different times because of different issues. Furthermore they damaged the paint two separate times in three different places and did not fix it. (It was painted by another shop right before we first took it to them.) The last time they had it, they charged me for detailing it even though I did not ask them to and they did a very poor job of doing it, leaving wax or something in various places all over the car on the plastic trim and rubber pieces. There are only two positive things about the experience. 1) they sent a truck and trailer to pick it up from Myrtle Beach when it broke down at Mustang Week. 2) Most of the staff are very nice. This has been such a huge disappointment for me and my wife."
