Last April I sent some freshly chromed parts to ValcoOscar as I got hit sitting at a stop sign in my Notchback. Front bumper tweaked and small dent in headlight ring.
Oscar had done them for me and they had not been on the car very long when hit. There had been some problems originally. belt sander marks on headlight rings, but he took care of them. So last April I sent back the bumper and one headlight ring. In July I got them back and the headlight ring once again you could see belt sander scratches and the bumper had a divot in a area that had not been damaged in the accident. I had to go with the bumper so I could get back on the road. I had provided him two headlight rings and let him choose which was best. It did not have sanding belt scratches. I sent the headlight ring back then he went dark. Last time I was able to get him to respond was on here in a private message last December 21st. I asked him to either return the ring as is and refund the cost of chrome or fix it as he did before. He has not replied since. Take this for what you will but this is not how you do business. |

Just a quick comment on the quality of the chrome Oscar had done for me:
I spent the better part of 20 years looking on and off again for a great early front bumper. Oscar is the one who got it done, and delivered it safely. And it is beautiful. Almost too nice to run, but run it I will. |
