Resto Rick

[rayg]

Here's my two cents, whenever you get anything restored from a car to a Coke machine you need to do your homework,  find out what's the proper way to do the restoration by check out forums "like SMC" etc , know the quality of the restorer's work and ask exactly how will it be restored.  If not done correctly as agreed upon the restorer won't get paid until it's right.

A customer with knowledge is power and it's what people like Rick fear!

Also, I personally saw some of Pat's & Johnie's work and have to agree they are Pro's and  do it right!

I sent an email to ricks restoration explaining my displeasure with pictures I saw of his work, telling him it was all over the internet how shoddy his work looked on a certain machine. This was their automated response.

We have received your email. Please allow up to 6 months for a response.

6 months... are you serious? Talk about customer service!

Very unfortunate for the customer.

Now neither party has anything to be proud of.
