Yes I called them after someone else recommended them. Their prices were in my opinion are way higher than any other quote I received. According to the person I spoke with they are charging $ 1800 to 2500 PER Bumper. They also recommended two other shops because they are not taking in any more work until November

That is ridiculous. Ship them out to Librandi near Harrisburg PA. My buddy just had his 68 front bumper repaired and show chromed for 350.

I used Dan's Polishing Shop for all my 65 parts and was very satisfied with the quality and pricing.

You're right totally insane. Thought I heard wrong but they repeated that price, and also recommended 2 other shops. Can't see how they continue in business but a few people did recommend them. Too much for me
