Swain is not a franchise, might be cost prohibitive to ship CA to NY to CA. I have had two different sets of side pipes coated.

The 1st time I wanted to see their facility, each round trip to deliver and pick up from CT was 12 hours, gas was less expensive and also an easy/scenic drive to upstate NY. The 2nd time, I had the local UPS Store construct corrugate containers and shipped. Swain returned the side pipes in the same containers which had protective packing, no damage. Turn time was 2 weeks, but varies at the start of the racing season and good weather.

Due to their location, a number of coating jobs are with the pieces shipped rather than delivered in person.

Insured the shipments with UPS for the value of the side pipes and the coating.
