Description of Work: In April 2010, I had a mishap in my classic car whereby 18 Volts was sent thru my entire electrical system. At the recommendation of Lynnwood Auto Electric, I went to Pat Malloy at Malloy Services in Lynnwood. This was an insurance claim on my collector insurance policy and so there was an adjuster involved as well. At the same time, I decided since they they much of the top end of the engine disassembled, that I would have them also replace my exhaust header gaskets. Starting with the insurance work, here is what went wrong: Malloy had the car from April until mid -August, almost five months. They stated there were "waiting on parts" - even though the insurance company had already paid them. They talked me into a replacement stereo that "looked stock", but it was very poor quality and to this day is missing key component promised. The cleanup that they charged to my insurance company, stated as "detailing" on the invoice for $125 dollars was a joke. The car was a filthy mess, and reeked of cigarette smoke - as if maybe one of their workers was a smoker and spent a lot of time in the car. Additionally, the powder from the fire extinguisher is still falling from the bottom of the underside of the dash and is clearly visible. Half of the gauge lights and the console lights are inoperable and do not work. In addition, the e-brake and the speedometer cables are so tight when they re-routed them through the firewall, that the speedo flutters now and the car was actually driving with the E-Brake ON until I was able to get it to another shop to have it fixed. The header gaskets that they said were copper and very high quality were cheap tin and leaked. I have these in my possession still. I had to paid almost $250 to remove and replace the gaskets that he put in with an acceptable replacement. The gaskets pulled off the car show signs of leakage, plus 2 header bolts were missing from the block, which indicates that they were not torqued properly when installed. Wires were left hanging in the engine compartment against the hot areas of the engine, making them susceptible to a fire or shorting out again. This cost me over $100 to just separate and adjust these wires. The radio installation was never complete, the sound quality is awful and when I took the faceplate off, I noticed that they had cut into my dash. Being a classic car, this means I will need to seek out a new dash for the car. The essentially "hogged" a larger whole were the radio was and used a filler tape to try and cover it up. There was exterior body damage done to the vehicle after being at their shop, door dings etc.. Loose wires were left in the area where your feet belong in the front on both sides. When they took the door panels apart, they did not reinstall them correctly and things are loose and one screw is almost punching a whole in the fabric of the door panel.
