Famous Auto Body Famous Auto Crafters Fraud, Work not delivered on Contracted Work, took money refused to do work Denver Colorado
Famous Auto Body aka Famous Auto Crafters
This business bills itself as a Auto Body Restoration and Customization business.
I believe the chief business interest is custome Fraud.
My Experience
Car was dropped off for restoration at Tri-Power Motor Sports June 2006
- $5200 yielded a car is complete dis-assembly
- Tri-Power disolved in Fall of 2007
Tri-Power was bought by two Partners and renamed Famous Auto Crafters
Famous Auto Crafters dis-avowed any responsibility for prior company mis-management
Jan 2008 signed a Contract to finish restoration of a car with Famous Auto Crafters.
Agreed price was not to exceed $6000
$4000 Down with Agreed delivery April 1 2008
The car had the suspension reinstalled and work stopped
Partnership disolved and business Renamed Famous Auto Body in July of 2008
(Business Cards were the same the whole time).
In September 2008 the business claimed the contract was void due to exit of a partner. New estimate was $8400 with $1000 up front was demanded
No body work was done..... Gas and Brake lines prevented car from being road tested.
I pulled the car out of the shop in September 2008

Deep in the body work steps 1. Famous used body filler to cover rust - I noticed a crack in a painted surface - Sanding revealed missing metal 2. Damage to the car's wiring harness due to lack of care while sanding by Famous. 3. Missing door parts included all handles, locks and upper door frames (Window channel) 4. Seam Sealing shoddy floor replacement. 5. Replacing missing bolts and small hardware from the junk yards. Only a fool would contract with Famous Auto Body of Denver. 4100 Morrison Road 80219

This is a update based on after the fact discovery of work quality. When I got this car home the first thing I noticed was excessive suspension squeeks...... 1. Examination of strut install noted Springs were up-side down. 2. Removal of struts found: a. Dust boots missing (4) b. Rubber bump stops missing (4) c. incorrect assembly of parts - Internal strut washer placement d. Missing front strut bearings - Allow the springs to rotate e. missing rear spacers f. stripped shrut mount cap - lead to replacement of strut + insulator cap g. Home made spindle pins - major suspension part that connects wheel strut to car. h. loose axel half shaft bolts i. U-Joints were not replaced as promissed j. Under coating was applied on top of mud deposits 3. Suspension sqeeks turned out to be incorrectly installed bushings. - Bushing were installed dry... No Grease - Lead to complete dis-assembly of suspension 4. When I picked up the car there was an agreement to pay for lost parts - Windshied, all door ports, headlight assemblies ...... - Famous Auto Body has now renigged on this promise also - I have made more progress on this car in the last month than Famous / Tri-Power did over several years
