I've been trying to find reasons not to write this but I'm just over it. I sent my Bronco to Nick's Tricks in April of 2014 and was returned to me May of 2017. I sent my truck to Nick's because a lot of people recommended him. I was excited to say the least to have this rebuild done. Spoke to Nick and explained to him what I was looking for. I explained to him that I wanted a build I could pass down to my son when he got older enough to drive (he was 1, now 4 yrs old) over the months I sent checks totaling close to $100k. There was a communication error with Meredith where she had my wrong email so I never got invoices for the build. It wasn't until I left town for a few months and the payment stop coming that I finally received a call. I know builds like what I wanted take time so I wasnt that worried. I wasn't able to pick the truck up due to some bullshit sales tax issues nick brought up which was my mistake I should have at least flown out to see it but I didn't. They loaded the truck on a transport and sent it down. Here's where my nightmare begins. While unloading the truck it kills twice getting out of the trailer (no big deal right it happens.) looking over the truck I notice none of the bumpers had been really powder coated. They were just as I sent them. There was rust coming from the mirrors and door handles which immediately struck me as odd. One of the handles looked like it was damaged and they took a fucking sharpie and colored it in.....
Jumped in the truck to take it for a drive and test out the new AC system not working. Power steering was sticking and couldnt turn the wheel.
I immediately called Nick and told him about the issues. I told him I was extremely disappointed on how my $100k build was done. His exact words were "What do you want me to do?" And then hung up. I never bothered to call back nor did he ever reach back out to me. You would think a customer that paid you a $100k would at least deserve a call back at some point just to see if the issues where resolved.
Over the past 6 months I've spent over $20k getting things corrected and fixed that should have been done in the first place on a build of this caliber.
Vintage AC system out of warranty compressor was bad, condenser leaking.
Replaced power steering pump hydroboost
Fuel pump was not wired properly and would lose power due to loose connections
Wildwood Brakes Calipers all of the mounting hardware and hardware holding the calipers together were loose causing the entire calipers to bend and fail had to order a complete new set due to the fact they were installed improperly.
Transmission had to be rebuilt due to the fact there was little to no fluid in the fucking Trans. and it over heated my fault for not checking but again it's coming from a shop.
Finally we get to the paint work which us complete shit! There are scratch marks in the bondo, the seam sealer on everything is cracking, the paint has more fisheyes then a fish market. It's unbelievable that anyone would let shit like this our of there shop.
I would never in my life make a recommendation for anyone to send there EB to Nicks Trixs.
If your on his list get your deposit back. If you are having a build done fly out and look at it and don't take it until everything is the way you want it.
I hate doing shit like this but after I started adding up my bills last night I got so pissed I couldn't even sleep!
