Business ProfileforFort Pitt Classic Cars LLC

11/14/19 - I was billed $160.50 for a vehicle assessment, which I paid on upon receipt - on 12/19/19 I was given an estimate of $17,888.26 to restore the mechanical portion of my vehicle. On 2/17/2020 I was given an estimate for a total restoration- mechanical/body/upholstery of $58,008. Work commenced on my vehicle in March of 2020. I finally pulled my vehicle from Fort Pitt after over 3 years of them “restoring” it- they did body work and mechanical only and I ended up paying over $150,000 for their “work”. Our contract clearly states they will charge 125% for materials, and they charged 130%.. They were unable to diagnose most things and even when they did their diagnosis was incorrect or their fix was incorrect and the issues had to be re-worked multiple times, clearly churning my bill. I instructed them from the onset of the project not to do anything with the windshield wiper/spray system as this was going to be a CA car. I was still charged for this and when I brought it to the owner’s attention I was told their policy was to comply with PA State law/inspections and I would be charged as this was their “policy”. I explained to him, I told him, his sales manager, body employee and mechanical employee that I told everyone this from the onset of the project, this was going to be a California car and I would expect them to do what their clients want. I was also charged 3 hours labor- over $300 for labeling an inoperable parking brake and putting it in the trunk of my vehicle. I told them I would pay 5 minutes for this but was still billed for 18 minutes. This owner is dishonest, writes up time for work that is not done, not done properly and fights his clients every step of the way.
