Default chrome plating in Toronto, Canada ?

Just wondering if anyone has a place they use? Took a bumper from my 68 Nova to a company and was quoted 1000.00 and 4 weeks. When I said I was OK paying a premium price but the wait was too long he handed me back my business card and walked away!! Don't really want to go repo, but will if I have to.

HI Paul,
I have used Durham bumper & fender just outside Bomanville in the past & had good luck with them,
but it's been 10 years-so not sure its same owners or quality (905)434-8007

Thanks for the ideas, I'm in Toronto and Minden so both will work! Is 1000.00 the real # though?

Called Cambridge Custom Chrome, the guy was friendly and attentive on the phone. They will be at my shop tomorrow to pick-up and will deliver back in 2 weeks, oh, and for less money! I knew of them but was told their pricing was high. Will check out the other guys at Durham on my next trip to Bowmanville. Thanks guys.

Glad it worked out for ya. I've heard that both were comparable
as far as price & quality,but Bomanville is closer for me.

And Cambridge pays for the shipping both ways.
