Automotive Parts and Body Panels Showcars Bodyparts Unlimited WARNING!!!! Do not purchase or order any auto fiberglass panels or parts from this company. I and many other customers have been lied to and ripped off. In September 2005 I called Showcars and spoke with the owner Rob Johnson about purchasing a 442 Oldsmobile fiberglass ram air hood for my car. Mr. Johnson lied and told me he has one and in order to ship the hood it has to be prepaid and to have the money, $1,202.68 including tax transfered to his personal bank account. So, like a trusting idiot, I did. Big mistake. I patiently waited a few weeks and no hood arrived, so I called Mr. Johnson and he lied with some lame excuse and said it will be shipped by the first week in October. No hood. I kept calling him about 2 or 3 times a week, and every time I called he had some excuse why he couldn't make the hood. It would take too much time and space to tell you all the lies and excuses, but you get the picture. Eight months later and what seemed like hundreds of phone calls the hood arrived. Upon inspection by my bodyman, the hood was so poorly constructed that it would not even fit on the car, so I took photos of the mess and shipped it back. I told Mr. Johnson I wanted a replacement by the end of June, giving him 2 months to make a new one. Well June came and went and after many phone calls, I asked him to forget the whole thing and refund my money, which he said "we don't give refunds here." In late September 2006, just over a year later, he sent a replacement hood. The hood will not fit on the car. So now I am stuck with this poorly made useless pile of junk. Now after telling others of my misfortune, other people are telling me of similar nightmare stories. So I checked with the Better Business Bureau in Kitchener Ontario, and found that Showcars has 14 registered complaints and is not responding to the BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues. Showcars in not a member of the Better Business Bureau. Showcars is located at 258 Attwell Dr. , Unit 4 Otobicoke, Ontario Canada M9W 5B2.
