Phoenix Upholstery is a one man shop, owned and operated by Dave Gallagher in
North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I first met Dave when he was
working for Heritage in Vancouver. I do ground up restorations on BN7 & BT7
Healeys, and have purchased three complete interiors from Hetitage. Two good
friends in B C strongly recommended Dave for my next interior. I called Dave
and he agreed to do a complete interior for my 1959 BN7. I sent him a $1500
deposit in February 2008, and delivered the metal seat parts to him in April,
He said the interior would be finished by the end of June. In late August,
after several phone calls he finally said he would ship the padded dash top
panel. He called September 15th and said the rest of the interior was almost
finished and would ship the week of September 22nd. Since then he has refused
to return phone calls or respond to letters and emails. Nothing else has veen
received.
One of the people who initially recommended Dave has suggested that I take
legal action against Dave. That would not be practicable as I live in
Washington state, and the cost of a Canadian atttorney and trips to B C would
exceed $1500. At this point, I strongly recomment that Dave and his shop be
avoided.
