Car restoration service gone wrong

The car restoration service I received from a local shop (Defenders Northwest LLC. Gig, Harbor, WA) was unsatisfactory. The work was delayed, and the final result was subpar with some parts not functioning correctly. When I contacted the shop about my concerns, they were unhelpful and dismissive. I strongly recommend avoiding this shop for car restoration services.

Revenge spam? Let me guess, your brother just happens to have the best shop.

If you want useful responses you need to provide more detail about what was restored and what was unsatisfactory. Perhaps your standards are too high. There are usually two sides to every story.

Oh geeze, Landrover/Jaguar mechanics are hard to find. Lots of slime out there. I spent 3 months finding one in a big metro area.

I wonder if you can pay a fee and AI spam bots will make accounts and promote or flame companies for you online.

Can't trust very much online!

Give this guy a break. There's no way to tell if he, or the shop, are ******, till we get more info.
I'm all for naming bad shops/mechanics.
If I lived in his area, I'd be sure to ask for details.
