Keystone bumper chrome plating

[Cornpatch MO]

I chose Keyston in Mn. as I know they do good work. I realize it has been the busy time of year, but my bumpers were sent in over 8 weeks ago. I am beginning to think they are lost. The dealer has told me for the past 2 weeks that they were being worked on. I doubt he knows.
Has anyone else here used Keystone in the last five months ? How long did it take to get yours done?
Thanks for any info...............................MO.

I sent my 68 Charger bumpers in to Keystone on 2/5/15. Got them back on 5/6/15. When I sent them in, I was told 12-14 week turn around. $429.00 each. They were in pretty nice shape before I sent them in but now are perfect. Call Jeanene at 800 328 1845 ext 5323. She should be able to give you a better answer on a finish date. I think you will be waiting at least another month.

Sent mine in to Keystone on 29 Dec 14, and got them back in early April. Not exactly the speediest service I've ever dealt with, but they do very good work.

Corn patch, We use the same location, I bet you will see them in 2 or 3 weeks.

They do great by us, we have sent in some pretty bad cores over the years and they allways do a real nice job.

Thanks for the reply's. Looks like it is taking about 12 weeks. I need to find just what day mine was sent in. Warmer weather , and I am getting anxious !! I will give that phone number a try , it would be good to know they are for sure in the process. My 64 Dodge is in the paint-body shop , for a complete do over of the sickening paint job I got just right at one year ago. I got a judgement from the first painter--but no cash in hand yet. Maybe the bumpers will be here by the time ole Brutus comes out of the paint shop.....................................MO

A judgement still has to be collected. Put a lien on his business, he'll have to pay. He can't even sell it til you get paid.

If I may ask - where exactly in MN is this KEYSTONE? My car is actually in MN getting refreshed. I'd like to have a rechroming option up there. I sent my bumpers and tail pipes all the way to LA to get them done as I heard there wasn't any good options left in MN. I'm originally from the Twin Cities area.

I can be a real a**hole if lied to and cheated. I garnished his bank account and put a lien on his property. You have to go thru a process like you wouldn't believe to collect on a judgement. The Sherriff got the money (not all of the judgement) from his bank account in another county, sent the money to Clerk of court in my county, who in turn sent it on to the magistrate, who I hope will send it to me. Maj. has had it for three weeks ! No hurry, not his money ! ..................................MO

I think in Minneapolis or nearby. They are an auto body materials supplier with locations in many areas. They have been bought out by LKQ but the chrome is still known as Keystone. You can take your bumpers to any LKQ and they will send them in for you, and when done, send them back. Saves a lot on frieght......................................MO

Keystone offices are in Minneapolis. Pretty sure the bumpers get shipped to Brainerd to get chromed.

I tried The contact that "Sixpactogo" suggested , and it is the Keystone dealer in Minneapolis. She said that she did not have access to my work order and said I should have my Omaha dealer e-mail in with my order number. He did that and found that one bumper was done and the other was in the process. So it is consistant with all other info I have---approximatly 12 weeks ......................MO

Good to hear you got a hold of someone that could answer your questions.
I work at a body shop, I remember checking into chroming for a customer and it was a long wait.
