AAA Plating

Horrible work. Had to have $ 3,000 of work re-​done by another chrome shop for another $ 3,000 just to get normal chrome, not show chrome. These people bought from Vic and have less than 18 months experience. DO NOT TRUST your car parts to these people unless you want them ruined. I had to replace over $ 1,800 of parts they ruined. Feel free to contact me at
to get the story if interested. I can not emphasize enough to stay away from this shop. There are other people who have gone through the same horrible experience. Had to go to court and the people lied through their teeth. Been having chrome done for my cars for 25 years and never had a problem until I ran into these people (Osbourns). The wife is the worst of the two and calls herself an expert chromer! Laughable. I give them 6 – 12 months due to Vic’s good reputation, then enough people will catch on. Make sure your parts are not there when it happens for you may never see them again.

The owner of AAA plating responded to my negative review with a nice spin of lies. The grill that he first attempted to do and really messed up is now junk because of AAA plating. I even had to wait way beyond their completion date to get it back. My second grill they told me to bring to them to plate wasn’t even started when I went there on their completion date to pick it up. They said it was worse than the first one but they did not even have the respect to call me and tell me their opinion. In any case, I went there and got it back from this incompetent plating shop, took it to Sherns and had it plated perfectly and on time. There are much better plating shops in Sacramento, NEVER GO TO AAA PLATING ! Jim Gately

I WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
Tony from AAA does all my shop’s chrome work and I say this with no hesitation:
AAA Plating is the absolute best chrome shop in Sacramento… period. There are other shops… and those shops are good, and some charge more.
But AAA does it right every single time for me.
Highly recommended.

I recently did a bathroom remodel and went to AAA plating to see what could be done with the fixtures I loved them and wanted to try and keep them. I was surprised by the fair quote to have them done in brushed nickel. Tony was very knowledgeable and helpful. He said he would let me know if they were done sooner, since I was wanting to finish up my project for a birthday party at our home. I dropped them off on a Friday and he said 3 weeks, but to my surprise he called and said they had finished them one week later! When I picked them up I was amazed at how wonderful they looked… BETTER THEN EVER!!! I will recommend AAA plating because of Quality of the there work!

I went to aaa plating the other day to get an estimate on repairing and rechroming the bumper of my 64 galaxie. The guy in charge apparently throwing out random numbers was not in so another employee took a look at the bumper. After looking at it he told me he was not permitted to give estimates on bumpers but told me usually a job like this is around $ 400 – 450.He asked me to come back and talk to the man in charge,
i wasted more time and gas driving back to talk to Tony. He came out and looked at the bumper and told me it would be $ 680.I told him he was crazy and started putting it back in my truck when he then says they could do it for $ 550.i instantly felt as if i was being taken advantage of and a little pissed off. If the price is $ 550 why was i quoted $ 680 to begin with. seems a little dishonest to me. maybe i overreacted but a price should not vary by that much if you are a reputable
after this experience i will drive around with rusty dented chrome before aaa plating gets another penny from me

New owner! I took a peace which had been plated by the previous owner back for redo which had began to bubble in the new chrome. This piece was returned in the original packing material and never used The new owner would not honor the workmanship of the former owner and wanted to charge me more than I had paid just a few months earlier when the job was completed. I had been a long time customer of AAA and had a good relationship with the previous owner and always had good work with them. I am looking for a new chromer

AAA does very high quality work. They have chrome and nickel plated a number of items for me and they came out flawless. Can be pricey but guys are helpful and friendly. Best to drop by and show them what you want plated.
