Manchester Motor Car Co

I brought my 73 Mach 1 to Manchester Motor Car and was Quoted $10000.00 to Restore the car, Everyone was nice and seemed to know what they were doing.When the car was done I was presented with a bill for $20000.00 after we negotiated it down to $16000.00 I paid the bill in full before the car was done. That was the turning point from that time on i was treated terribly, up unitil that point the owner Butch was very nice from the moment he was paid it all changed and he would barely acknowledge me.I have since put over $10000.00 into the car and not a penny of it went to them I would never go back to them for anything . I would like to say that the Body work was Done by John Kaplan who did a great job (John Left prior to my car being completed and we are now good friends) the quality is there but if you are looking for someone to be able to deal with on a longterm basis which i was i dont think you will be happy here.

If you're looking to take your classic car to a shop that can fix minor glitches DO NOT take it here. They "looked" at my classic ride for 6 hrs, costing me approx $500. Then they said thay had fixed the problem (electrical), but apparently neglected to check the electrical system after the fix to see if it was right. The result: A dead battery, due to a constant drain on the system, and me having to take my car to another shop to diagnose and trully fix the problem. Lesson: Unless you're looking for a complete, high end restoration of your classic car don't take it here. They are way too expensive for the everyday guy's budget, especially if it's a minor fix. And as I experienced, they don't check their work. Very disappointed in their work, since they made me feel like they would take good care of my car and do the job right. I didn't realize they had fooled me until a month later when my battery was dead. Very expensive lesson.... more
