Santorelli restored several sets of belts for me. I was very pleased with his work, but took a looonnnggg time & it’s hard to put up with his attitude. Switched to Clete Marquardt - he’s very, very good!

Thanks for all of the feedback on Don Krebs albeit, none of it being good news. I used a credit card for payment, so hopefully it will be possible to do a chargeback although perhaps at this point the cc company will say it's been too long.

Charlie did my L89 Corvette belts (which were in decent condition) He did a great job, but he is the definition of “nickle and dime you to death”.
America’s finest Corvettes in Ramona did my other Corvette belts and they turned out great for around $400.
However, I’m not sure I’d send a rare or valuable set to the guy. I vaguely remember having to bug the guy to get them back.

Anyone who needs assistance with Charlie, feel free to reach out. We’ve been friends for like 15 years. He can be challenging but quality is outstanding

With all due respect Dan, my friend Dane H. (who you know) is also best friends with Charley & Dane made the phone call to Charley when I needed mine done & he still wasted my time. I sent him detailed photo's specifically to avoid all of this.

Sounds to me like there's no clear winner in this game
