Ripped off by 505 Performance. Bad Review.
#17
extrashaky we hired 505 to finish restoring our 1954 Jeep. We ended up having to hire an attorney to issue a replevin order and post a $200K bond to try to get it back. 505 would not turn over the Jeep even with the replevin order, so we had to go to court. The court awarded us the cost of what we had into the jeep plus our attorney fees and costs as a Judgement against 505. We then had to spend $35K to collect it from 505. So that's the how we lost the jeep that was a family heirloom. So now we are without our Jeep and $35K in the hole.

Regardless where the ultimate blame lays in this case.... I just think it's a cryin' shame about the worthless excuse for customer service these days. Or should I say the complete lack there of.....
Wish we could get those days back.

We ended up losing our heirloom 1954 Jeep and over $35K in the whole with attorney expenses and costs after winning a judgment against 505 Performance. Please see case number CV2016-052229 with Superior Court of Arizona, County of Maricopa Remark vs Zach Steele dba 505 Performance. We prevailed in court and won a judgment of $86,201.99 plus $4567 in cost and $58,504.50 in attorney's fees. Then and had to spend over $35K more in costs and attorney's fees to collect the judgment..... buyer beware. We've attached the recorded judgment for your reference.
On a side note: Now that we have this project........ For anyone interested in what is to come, we will be posting soon to our Facebook page to show the full restoration. We are calling it the "Labor of Love ******: Road to Barrett Jackson". It will be the first 1954 400hp 4cyl Jeep ****** Truck in the world. We have contacts with several off-road magazines and members of Good Guys, so she could be on her way to a cover shoot before heading off to auction. Check out our Facebook page and our website for updates www.505performance.com
