poor quality work bad customer service

Nec Body Works in Thompson ,Ct.does not stand behind their paint and body work. I am sorry to say that I have had to turn them into Ct DMV & BBB after they tried unsuccessfully to fix their $9,000 botched paint job. The $9,000 paint job they did on my Chevelle has turned into a nightmare. The car was given back to me the first time with blisters in the paint, tape marks & over spray in all of the jammed areas... view more, fish eyes and dust in many areas, sand marks and body work present under their final paint work. The clear had also been burned through in several areas when they did their final buffing with the promise it would be taken care of. My Chevelle was brought back to NEC to have them remedy their problemed work and was not at all satisfactory upon pick up the second time. Poor body work & tape marks in all areas they attempted to spot in and blisters were still present on the car in several areas. All I can say is be Careful this was a $9,000 job not a $3,500 job. I am keeping the car and will be happy to show it to anyone that is interested in seeing it before they choose an expensive restoration shop like NEC Body Works to paint their car. There are many local resto shops that do show quality work at that price. I will be up front and honest with any one that is interested in viewing the car. I am keeping the Chevelle in its present condition,(as returned to me from NEC Body Works after spending $9,000 with them) for the specific reason of showing the car and the poor work that was done to it by NEC Body Works. You do not have to believe me you can come see it for your self just give me a call. I also have available sworn statements from 5 local reputable paint& restoration shops that have inspected the car and given me written quotes to fix the car. All professionals that inspected the car gave me written statements and estimates to re do the car correctly. It needs to be stripped of all paint and materials... down to the bare metal and completely repainted. I am not doing this out of spite or vengeance but rather to worn people to do research and choose a reputable restoration shop so they do not get swindled out of their hard earned money. Be careful, do your research and ask for references from the shop from previous satisfied customers.... most people that have good restoration work done are more than happy to show off their prized possession. My phone # is (860)-428-1404 if you would like to view the car just call me and make an appointment. Doug
