Kim doesn't do 2 speeds any more. They refer you to Concourse Creations in Florida. DO NOT use them. Absolutely horrible work. I paid for a complete restoration and got new hardware.

What Steve said about Concourse is correct. I ordered a 2 speed bushing for the arm to wiper trans, not even close. Dang that motor looks like crap.

Here's the same motor after I repainted it. He put no effort into the restoration.

Its an unfortunate thing today, but it is very hard to find anyone and or pay someone to do something correctly. In almost every case of paying someone to do something for me I either had to redo some aspect of it or all of it. With that said there are a few good business/services I have dealt with, but I would spend time to do google searches on any vender and if there are multiple problems with them my advice is stay away.

Dude, you got what you paid for.
I explain to every 2 speed customer that if the exterior is pitty that it can take nly be fixed with prime and fill due to the contours of the case, which I do for time and materials.
If you were not happy why did you not contact me and say so.
I would have told you to send it back and pay the time and materials to prime and sand.
So if you are a lazy POS it's not my fault.
No reason to go on a forum and trash me.

You told me the wiper motor would look better new when I shipped it to you but I was very disappointed when I got it back. I did contact you (still have all the emails) and you wanted to me to spend even more money on top of what I paid. realcrazy

I can't believe you shipped a product like that and thought it would be OK. If you contacted me ahead of time and said you needed a little extra cash I would have gladly paid. You call me a lazy pos but your the one that got paid and didn't do the job you said you would. I managed to get a decent paint job on the motor so I guess you're the lazy pos. I didn't trash you, I posted pictures of the quality restoration work that you do so I'll let people draw their own conclusions.

I've dealt with many vendors in the hobby and have always been treated fairly. Congratulations Jerry, you're the first one to rip me off. Have a nice day.

If you're interested, I have a BRAND NEW one for sale. You can spray it matte black yourself. A whole lot cheaper than a "resto" !!!

This is a load of crap. People in the resto business buy up cores for parts to ensure that the unit they ship out is "as new" or "factory fresh". If you're shipping anything short of this you're not a serious player. Could you just imagine sending a busted up heater box to a restorer and getting back the same piece of junk only its nice and clean or they haven't repaired or replaced the leaky core !!! Doesn't happen. Clean up your act or get outta Dodge !! And by the way ... your products should be priced accordingly. One price - one level of quality ... "factory fresh".

Here you go. The pictures I posted are what you refer to as an "acceptable standard". A lot of members post pictures of items they receive from vendors that exceed their expectations. I posted pictures of what I received from you and only because the op was looking for a vendor. I didn't want him to make the same mistake as I did.



It was within acceptable standards according to just about all that come thru here. If they are excessively pitted instead of mildly I do contact the customer to let them know that it will not look good.
Yours was of average quality of what comes thru here.
I made you an offer to remedy the situation.
Regards
Jerry

I wish you had explained your procedure or at least notified me when you received the motor because I was expecting a “concourse” restoration. I know you’re not in the auto body field but it should have been fill primed and sanded before final paint.

You motor had light rust pitting which I can't do anything for but if you find a core that is up to your standards I will be glad to do that one and take the other one as a core.
Thanks

Jerry,
I just received the wiper motor and have to say I’m disappointed with the paint finish. I expected it to be smooth and glossy like a new unit.
I definitely will not put it on my restored car as is and will have to repaint the motor.

I restored my 2 speed motor myself. It wasn't very hard to do, but I did need to fill pits with a high build primer. I separated the motor from the gear section and had a local electric motor repair business check out the motor. The motor and gear section were reassembled with pop rivets and then I filled the centers in to make them look like a solid rivet. It can be difficult to track down the original rubber mounting isolators. The rebuild process is easy.

The motor looks great. After I had to take mine apart to repaint it I also realized there's not much to a 2 speed motor so most people could restore one themselves.
