Every once in a while when time permits I check in and why would I go away?
I have done nothing wrong that I did not accept the consequences of.
You are free to deal with whomever you choose.
My service is still excellent but that does not mean it is perfect.
I struck out with you. I apologized publicly and offered a substantial
discount on future work but I guess by your comment it is still not enough.
I am also sure that you have ALWAYS hit your deadlines with your clients.
I have moved on , maybe you should too.

Jules,

This has been buggin me for a while and I gotta ask:

Why are your prices so high compared to another reputable company that does the same?

When I saw your prices,  :22yikes:  I went south (U.S)

I was interested in getting my hood parts brown anodized.
Now I don't think I will because I already know it'll be another really outragous quote.

I'm confident with enough research done, I could find an anodizer company that'll do it for half or 3/4's of what you would quote. The last place I had my top of the door trim anodized, charged me 60 dollars for the whole set.

Oh! BTW, they are reputable, as they do Millions of dollars in business every year! 

When you add the additional cost to ship back and forth from Canada on top of that, it gets rediculous.   :2cents:

Excellent questions Topcat and I am quite pleased that you asked them.
Although this is not the venue to answer them I guess there are no rules in this Ad section
that need to be followed concerning replies. So I will go ahead and answer you.
First concerning the wiper motor it includes a core charge of a $100 simply because
077 motors are tougher and tougher to come by. My price also includes shipping charges of
$35 which are quite reasonable from Canada to the states or other provinces.
So a restoration of your core comes down to $260.
My wiper motors are restored to as close to NOS as I can and this means using parts that are quite tough
to locate. For example my black shrink caps are NOS. The rubber grommets on the gear heads are NOS.
The switch plate you see in the pictured motor was taken apart and sent out to black phosphate plating.
The barrels are polished then plated. New brushes, new plug, new gaskets,new wiring, new hardware including the red nut at the back.
Correct end tubular rivets and much more. The reason I outline these sometimes obvious points is so that you can question other vendors on what you
get for the price they charge. Nothing is painted on my motors except when a motor has insulating varnish on the switch plates.
The finishes are as they were originally.
Concerning the latches the issue is the cost to purchase the special rivets that are used to assemble the parts. I needed to order a minimum of 5000 of them
in order to get going and they did not come from overseas! You can imagine what that cost me. The " brown " finish is done in 2 steps and it is not anodized.
First the plating shop then I finish the job in my shop. Everything is taken apart and each piece is restored to original finishes. The rivets are clear zinc, the springs are new and
in black zinc and then I use the correct yellow grease. The brunt of the cost is due to the main hood latch because it has 4 distinctive rivets/washers and a more complexe assembly.
I also had to make special tooling to impact the rivets in place. I think you get the picture.
The end result are latches that have yet to lose any points at any OE Gold judging show.
It sure beats just dunking your latch at the plating shop and having it come out all one color and with acids still eating away at the inside.
If you want to see proof of that just email me.
You truly get what you paid for.
I hope I have answered your questions.
Jules

P.S. Topcat I do not do any moulding or trim work so I do not know what that has to do with my latch service.
 I also do not know of any plating company that takes latches apart in order to plate the individual parts correctly.

I'm not doubting your quality of work.
From your explanation it's evident you do great work.

I like others here, like to know why they should consider you as a vendor that they should go to.
What do you normally charge to restore E body hood parts in pretty good restorable condition?

Do you do group buys whether its wiper motors or hood latch parts?

I did not take your questions as doubting my work but as research on your part.
What everybody should do is gather information before accepting a low quote.
Do your homework. Call me and ask questions. I will tell you exactly what I can or cannot do.
There are many  good restorers out there and that is why a phone call or email can help you
a great deal in your decision making. If you are trying to save $50 but in the end the restorer
you choose gives your $75 less product than another restorer, you have not saved anything.
It will greatly depend on what you expect as an end result.
The condition of your hood parts isr irrelevant ( as long as nothing is broken or pitted to death)
because I take everything apart anyway. In many cases I do extra work to polish off some small pitting or dents and scratches
at no extra charge.
The hood latch is $195.
The safety hook is $55
The trunk latch is $50.
Package deal for all 3 above is $250.
Inner door pulls $80 pair
Plus shipping.
Sorry no group buys but I will work with anyone that has multiple items to do with their cars.
Jules

I was wondering ......is there a difference between a vairable speed wiper motor and a 3 speed wiper motor? or are the same and the speed is set by the dash switch?

From late 67 to 76 they are the same . The dash switch will make the motor have either 3 speeds or variable speeds.
For example 70-71 E bodies could come optional with variable speed dash switches thus the motor would behave with
variable speeds.
72-74 E bodies had 3 speed switches thus only 3 speeds.

I had my wiper motor restored by Jules and I am VERY happy with it. I went to Carlisle last july and a seller out there was selling 70-71 restored wiper motor for $500.00. So, yes, Jules's prices may be high, but it is hard to find that kind of quality at low price.  And you can be shure that when you will turn your wiper switch on, your motor will work and, like he said, it backs it with a lifetime warranty. Now, where else are you going to get that? He has been around for years and he will always give you technical support if you need it. It might not be cheap, but you will be amazed at the quality of his work. If you think it is nice in picture, just wait to see it for real. It is incredible.

A happy customer
