"Bang The Drum" Testimonials

1968 Olds 98

J&G stand behind their work. When there was a problem refurbishing my brake drums, Don went out of his way to make it right. I am very satisfied with the finished product.

1963 Pontiac 8-Lug

I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic job on these 8-lugs. I now see 
how I had short-finned wheels all these years. LOL

Tim was really impressed, as well, and they run and stop phenomenally (no squeak, no pull, just smooth braking). Wow. Superb craftsmanship which is sadly so rare to see these days.

I've left you a favorable review in the Performance Years forums, in the 
"Pontiac Business Entities Exchange" forum, where people get to post good and bad about different vendors and service providers.

Best of luck going forward, and stay well.

Finished up putting everything back together today and thought you might enjoy a couple of pictures. By the way the car stops, no more grinding noises and no more chattering. Hope to see you at Back to the Fifties. Thanks again.

1964 Pontiac

I received the drums and I opened one box and you people do a great work, Thank You, I myself is an engineer and machinist, I will send my original drums as soon as I get them off the car and thanks again. Not too many Pontiac's in Canada have these wheels, I am the only one in the area that has them and people think they are so cool.

I've had you do some pontiac drums, a few years back. I was so thankful that there was still someone filling this need. So, thanks again for all you do for the classic car collectors. Wish you well with the website, it looks great!

1950 Ford 250 Truck

Hey Don : Got the drums and shoes late yesterday, and they do look great. Fine, fine work. Thank you. It'll be a few days before I can get them installed. Due to a highly unusual and very early snow storm last weekend things got slowed down a lot, but we're finally dried out, and warming back up, so getting down on the ground under the ol' beast to fit the new m/cyl should go pretty well - then a new, rerouted brake line on the left side, which I finally figured out was a big part of the problem - it ran too close to the exhaust headers on the 460 - don't think it boiled the brake fluid, but it did force the fluid out around the wheel cyls, and the m/cyl seals, which eventually emptied the m/cyl. Anyway - it'll work a LOT better with the great work you did.

I just wanted to drop you a note on how happy I was with my drums you relined for me. They really looked good; all most didn’t want to put them back on the car.  My car stops so much better than it ever did.  Thanks again.

I would like to thank you for such a quick turnaround time on my customers car,  when we remove the drums I was not thinking about how do I move the car until the drums come back. After calling you and explained to you my problem, you were so helpful in getting the drums done so quickly.

I just wanted to send a message to let you know that I received the brakes and was able to install and take the car for a drive. Your workmanship was excellent, and they function perfectly, absolutely no vibration or pulling at any speed, with absolutely a smooth engagement.

 

It's a pleasure to do business with you. I'll make sure to recommend your shop to anyone needing this kind of service in the future. Thanks again and have a great day!
