I've used (2) different chrome shops.

1 - SuperFine Shine in Chillcothe, OH. Owned and operated by a fella by the name of Phillip. He has always treated me right and his workmanship is awesome! I would definitely recommend him. Not only has he done chrome plating for me but he also repaired and polished the stainless trim for me Vendo 56RT and the coin entry plate for my Stoner Jr.

2 - Niagra Plating......Decent job but PATHETIC turn around. It took me almost 8 months to get some parts back from them. Prices were good but like I said, PATHETIC turn around time! I would not recommend them.

I too use Courtesy Chrome, their  prices are incredible, quality is excellent. for example the coin entry and bottom bezel for a vendo coin changer, 65.00 dollars from time a dropped off to pickup was 7 days. definitely worth a try.

Has anyone used Nashville Plating? I have decided to try this company. I will take pictures when I get my parts back and let you know how they turned out.

Yes, I have used Nashville plating......once.  I use Speed & Sport in Houston Texas,  they do top show plating, the best I've seen but  you pay thru the nose (and other anatomical Parts).

I Got on the web and saw where even the speed place in Texas has some bad reviews. I just want all my Coke parts to look really nice and as I said "I will let you know and also take some pictures".
