Greg and his team are fantastic! Greg is a master with rust repair and metal work. He can custom form a panel if an off-the-shelf panel is not available, and he can add custom touches if you like. The team at Speakeasy painted a 1992 Nissan 240SX for us that won a trophy at the Geneva Concours car show in 2023, and they also did extensive metal work and paint on two bare shell restorations of very rare vehicles for us in 2024, including a 1960 Triumph Estate Wagon and a 1954 Mercedes 170D Pickup. We love their attention to detail, and they are very easy to work with. We highly recommend Speakeasy Customs for collision work, rust repair, or concours-worthy restorations.
View on GoogleTerrible! Gave him a bare metal 1968 gto. Took over a year and did not even start on it. Was going to take my car back but he did not have the money to reimburse my down payment. Worked with him to make it right. Got back a full bondo job, over spray, and still has waves in the hood. Was originally supposed to have the car running when returned, but was not running because he said his mechanic quit. Trim did not fit at all, side windows did not line back up. Terrible work and customer service. Disappointing to say the least, was a neighborhood shop but relocated.
View on GoogleI asked Greg if he could handle a complete restoration of my 1995 impala ss, and he assured me he could. I wanted it painted, new full interior, stereo system installed, new rims and brakes. I paid Greg $15,000 up front to start the build and I was quoted $6,000 for the paint job, and $5,000 for the interior. That’s what he was going to do first. He was paid in full, in December of 2019 and the car was supposed to be done by February. I did not get the car back until October and it wasn’t completed. The only work Greg did on my car was the paint job and the interior, which I was quoted $11,000 for. So the remaining $4,000 was not refunded to me. Greg told me he didn’t have the money to give me back, but he would give me an IOU paint job if I ever needed 1. Once I got the car back and took it to a detail shop to have it buffed and detailed, the people there pointed out all the flaws in Greg’s work. The car was not disassembled when painted, and that is not what a $6,000 paint job is. You can still see the old paint in all the crevices, and there are bubbles in the paint called fish eyes all over the car. Dings and dents were not fixed, just painted over. And since the parts were not taken off and stood up, the paint dripped down the doors. And there’s gobs of paint on the underside of the doors. The interior was treated with the same disregard, parts were broken by Greg and glued back in place. Everything was ripped out of the interior and broken. So instead of replacing the pieces, he super glued it back in place. And I know this to be true because I had to have all of Greg’s work redone, and upon undoing all his work, I found out what he’d done. To be honest, I would not recommend this place to an ENEMY!! By far one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Greg assured me that he could take on the project, no problem. He took my money knowing that he could not in fact do this kind of work. And then when I realized he couldn’t do it and I told him I didn’t want him to do anymore work on my car, he couldn’t provide me with the remaining $4,000. That he did no work for. I’ve had to hire a lawyer, and I have to go to court in order to get my money back. To anyone reading this, please do not waste your time or money with Greg. He should not be quoting people on jobs he has no idea how to do. This is a paint shop only, and the paint jobs here suck!! A $6,000 paint job and he didn’t take the doors off, he literally painted the car while it was still assembled. Though I am embarrassed, I just hope that the next person doesn’t have to go through what I went through. My name is John Abel and this is a true story
