I spent a significant amount of money on a custom Samurai from this company. I provided a running donor car and received back what amounts to the most unreliable vehicle imaginable. The car is riddled with major issues. The car blew a transmission rebuilt by them less than 60 miles away from the pickup point. They took the car back and repaired it. The custom-built engine that they charged $2500 for developed blowby at around 2000 miles, they claimed it was a blown head gasket and charged $1000 to replace. At around 2100 miles the car developed major electrical issues, started blowing fuses. A reputable shop had to replace wiring and the fuse block since the one installed was not designed to withhold the inrush/startup current. The very first time I drove the car offroad, on a gravel road that a Priuses drive on regularly, the ring and pinion in the front axle seized. At this point, the engine is spewing oil from under the valve cover. It was inspected by an engine shop and deemed a total loss. The new paint job developed multiple cracks and bubbles less than 18 months later, even after being kept in a climate controlled garage. 2600 miles later, the car is undrivable and the cost of repairs makes this already expensive project very dubious. I can’t imagine this company ever taking responsibility and making things right, I tried contacting them by phone, email, and Instagram, all have been ignored.
