Make sure the parts you want plated are suitable IE not terribly pitted or rusted...
do some research with price checking at the local chrome shops....find out if they Triple plate..... copper, nickel, chrome...
maybe ask some vintage car people in your area for advice on best shop.

And Bob-don't forget to mention to use a chrome shop he can trust to not screw your valuable parts up! It takes time and sometimes a few parts to get the chromer/polisher trained right. Sometimes the guy writing your tag up is not the same 'Magilla gorilla" working in the back grinding your parts down to nothing!

Funny you should mention that.....I've been happy with my latest chrome shop, used em for several years now no issues
...but after picking up the last load a week ago.....
A drum brake hub and a NICE Torrington prewar Deco Stem were missing!
They're 'looking' for the parts.
But being that they were the most "collectible" in the lot I brought in ...makes me think a Bike guy with knowledge pinched them...
hopefully not and they can find the parts.
Blows!
Anybody see a Nice Torrington Rechromed stem and postwar drum brake hub for sale Nice and SHINY ....LMK

take a picture of the group of parts at their counter.
Email them a copy and you have proof of the parts you brought in.
Doesn't mean they can't still loose them tho....

And make sure the chrome shop isn't dumping their toxic waste in a pit they dug down in their basement. (Green Ooze)

That is not good at all! I hope this is not the shop you recommended to me. I was actually getting a few parts to take there and give it a try. Plating is getting to be a huge gamble. Not that it never was....... Seems like it cost a premium for the ENTIRE process. Chemical and human....... Hope your parts show up.
