Very consistent in taking on more work than they can handle. I've brought in two vehicles, one was estimate at a 6-9 months of work and actually took 4 years. The other was a fender repair that just never got done. Steve is really nice but sometimes I wonder if he simply expects the antique car owners to pass away before collecting their cars

I brought in (2) vehicles to Steve at Apache. I brought a complete frame off restoration with my 73 Dart, and an auction purchase with my 69 Chevelle. The Dart was the most cumbersome and expensive. My hat goes off to the team for their body/paint work. It was very well done. Other than that, unfortunately I am not satisfied with the Dart specifically due to the time and money spent. I waited just over a year and a half to get to the point of maybe "200-250 hours" left on the job. The engine restoration was subbed out to Johnson's in Warwick. I finally retrieved it in February 2024. They did a good job, but again the timing and cost was high. When it came to the Chevelle, that was less about particulars and more about getting it streetable. I spent over 10K to only have things like the spark plugs not replaced, lights not working, and even wire clippings on the floor when i picked it up. They didn't even wash or vacuum it. However, when it came to DETAIL, I was sure to be charged for their 'time' spent ordering individual parts. Steve is an excellent salesmen and toungesmith. I caught this on day 1, but my options are limited in this industry as his profession is a dying breed. So, I gave him the benefit of the doubt only to spend tens of thousands over 2 years to have 2 unfinished projects to take elsewhere. My recommendation to any of you out there is to agree on a flat rate price from the beginning, along with a time frame. Otherwise, Steve will roll you into his web and bury your car along with the dozens of others crammed into a shop that you can barely walk in. My belief is his passion is in boats instead...but the cars are consistent and keep the business 'afloat'. Just speculation. Ill never return. Thanks for reading.

Brought my 1963 VW Beatle for restoration and after almost three years and $33,500 I have to do everything over. From paint, engine, convertible top and so mush more... to long to list. Currently will be going into litigation to try and recoup some of my money . Steve is a conniver and blatant lyre. Never ever believe what he says. Stay so far away from this place and if your car is in there get out. I give it -5 stars.Services: Electrical repair

Found this place for my boyfriend. He was very impressed. He said they were very professional. He loves his antique cars.

Repaired our classic Mercedes back to mint condition and for a very reasonable price. Excellent communication throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend!

Steve and his crew did body work on two mid-60's VW Karmann Ghias for me. These were different projects, requiring different approaches and their work was outstanding. For one project, they were able to address poor body work from the previous owner, straighten things out and finish through to paint. For the second project, they were able to do incredible sheetwork, prep and paint to a show car level. The end cost was in line to the budget, and I couldn't be happier. Apache is a professional, serious shop with broad knowledge and skill.

They excell at making mistakes. This place doesn't deserve one star. The owner is deceptive and shouldn't be trusted. Don't go here. Very poor communication. These amateurs will screw up your vehicle, charge you considerably more than was verbally quoted, and they will never provide a written estimate.

BEWARE OF THIS SHOP The owner of this shop, Steve Connet, is a thief. What else do you call someone who takes your $3,200, buys a steering system, never installs it, and keeps your payment....a thief.
