<< I've been waiting for someone to Bash Nu-Chrome Corp. so I could get into
the
discussion.
Two years ago I purchased an Austin Healey Front Bumper at the spring Swap
Meet in Carlisle, PA Walked over to the Nu-Chrome booth and asked them if
they
could make a Concours Quality Bumper out of it. He looked it over and stated
NO PROBLEM. I picked up some of the before and after display piece he had on
the table and again asked can you make it look as good as these AFTER sample.
Again NO PROBLEM. I gave him the bumper and a Check for $180 along with my
shipping address. I finally received the bumper 8 months later after many
phone calls in which they kept telling me it would be shipped at the end of
the week. Upon inspection I found many pits in the Class A surface and the
mounting brackets on the rear side were still covered with rust. They said
send it back and they would redo it for me to my satisfaction. Five months
later again after numerous phone calls I received it with 3/8 diameter black
burn spot on the front surface and still handed removed the rust from the
back
side. Like the writer of the above post I paid the shipping charges both
times. I did call them and inform them of my dissatisfaction and their only
reply was send it back and we will make it just like you want it. NOT A
CHANCE!!!!!!! >>
I've never heard of Nu-Chrome before. But now that I have heard about what
happened to you guys I will stay clear of them in the future. I like a company
that will do the job right the first time without ripping me off. Thanks for
the warning.
