Mods For Rods

Mods quoted us a 2-3-weeks to complete the work. A new transmission was the largest part of the project, and he quoted 1-2 days to install that. The car hadn’t even moved from where we dropped it off after 1 week. We were frequently promised photos and updates, but we only got them if we called/emailed repeatedly to ask for them. They gave us due dates, but never met them. We were given a ‘final’ date when everything was expected to be ready. Well, they did not meet that deadline, but promised it would be ready in another week. They missed that deadline as well. When they told us that the car was ready, my dad went to pick it up – but they were still working on it when he arrived!

When the car was delivered the clutch would not engage at all. I had to push it off the transport. The hydraulic slave cylinder was destroyed because Mods had failed to measure correctly, and did not install the correct spacer.

There were many issues with the electrical system – this was the 100% new wiring harness that Mods installed. Somehow, it ended up worse off than the 50-year-old wiring that was in the car when we dropped it off at Mods. Turn signals, brake lights, dash lights all had problems. A/C was barely putting out any cool air, engine overheated in traffic, radiator fans didn’t work - the car was barely usable. I found a shorted wire in the electrical system, a damaged A/C charge port, a damaged relay and bent connector pins for the cooling fans.This all came to over $600 – again out of my pocket.

I feel like I did everything I could upfront to set the expectation for what we wanted Mods to do with our car, and they agreed. I have done everything I could have done to try and resolve these issues amicably, and have been largely ignored completely. This has been a very disappointing and costly experience, and I cannot recommend Mods for any project you might be considering.
I advise you to look elsewhere.
