The whole thing was a waste of time/money and unnecessary. We had two lengthy phone calls, planned the visit then spent an afternoon discussing the project (took off work). However, I find Derek's management skills sub par and unprofessional. I understand there are no guarantees and I certainly don't want a shop who's not interested in the project. He "promised" he'd send one but hinted they were too busy with spring work to take on a restoration. Bottom line, after two or three follow ups to Derek, I never received an estimate. In total, I spent about 3 hours there and left confident we'd be moving forward with next steps, based on my conversation with Derek.

I met the owner, he too was a nice guy, polite and engaging. axle upgrades they can do in 3 hours but charge 10, not restoration work. Michael confided that the shop focus is "really" high margin work. Derek is a sales guy, talks too much and will certainly lead you on. I will admit, the guys were polite, attentive, had a couple of good recommendations, etc. I drove 16 hours round trip just to continue the conversation, see the shop and meet the technician (Michael) who was going to be the primary guy for my build. We discussed my project, exchanged pictures, etc. I spoke to Derek by phone for over an hour, twice. If you are a serious person in need of a serious shop. Ask them the last time they did a significant restoration and if they are currently interested in doing a restoration. These guys are NOT a restoration shop, they're a jeep repair / modification shop, period.

The whole thing was a waist of time/money and unnecessary. As mentioned I do feel they're expensive but you do receive quality and a knowledgeable team. One thing I did really appreciate is they notified me immediately that we had an issue and proposed several options to make it work.Overall I've had a positive experience with V3 and do recommend them for your Jeep needs.
#JEEP 4X4 CENTER INSTALL#
During the install they encountered an issue as the camera mount wasn't compatible with the recon wheels as the spoke and bolt pattern caused the spoke to cover where the camera should go. Upon reviewing the parts they felt comfortable moving forward. They fully disclosed they haven't installed this particular camera and asked if I could swing by so they could see the parts. Not a huge deal but thankfully I asked before using the winch.The second install was the Raxiom Backup Camera kit. The only complaint I could say I had was they didn't tension the line and didn't tell me, I had to ask the question. This didn't seem to be a concern for V3.I had a Zeon 10S installed on a recon bumper. I use my Jeep off road and whether it be me or a vendor I need it done correctly and not just for cosmetics.I think it's important to note I purchased all parts from other vendors. From my experience they do an exceptional job, a bit expensive but great quality.

I've used V3 for a couple installations I didn't feel like dealing with due to complexity or just laziness.
