    yah man about 80 percent of those cars are sold 1st month after built or in junkyard because they never touch the engine and they end up breaking down.. Reason they are pieces of **** in first place is because of mechanical issues and all they focus on is looks

    ive seen 2 WCC vehicles, both paint jobs were horrible, items they had on in the show they took off ( rams and actuators ) the interior cloth was horrible quality, like covering seats in burlap sacks...i be this was of the same caliber

    I don't consider the "work" done on Pimp My Ride as WCC work. In fact, didn't another company do pimp my ride for a few seasons too? It was all done for TV and nothing else. I think WCC does decent work. Let's not forget that Ryan was a minitrucker before he started the company.

    Yah it was all show even exzibit stated in an interview its a hack and going for TV that's why west coast dropped doing the show and now some other shop does it but they have the same people doing the work. I went to WCC to check it out once I don't think anything in that place wasn't a $100k car or build so its sad MTV could actually make a reputable shop look shady

    Yeah the gut that owns WCC didn't want his shop to be known for shotty work so he got out. Now he has a show on Speed called Street Customs. They built the truck in The Expendables.
