RESTORATION SERVICES​

WHY CONSULT ​A ​SEASONED PROFESSIONAL?

Nothing in life is free? ​WRONG. Have us inspect a potential purchase BEFORE you make the transaction at NO CHARGE.
You don't have to use us for repairs or restoration but at least let us help you make the right decision. 
​
Our expert team has the knowledge, ability and tools to perform precision concours restorations on all makes and models.
Concours restoration is the highest level of restoration for classic cars, bringing them back to their original condition or better if desired during the time they were produced.
The full concours restoration is an unlimited reconstruction of an automobile to 100 point perfection including every nut, bolt, finish and part. It is a restoration that brings the interior, exterior, trunk compartment, engine compartment and the undercarriage to original condition. 

RESTORATION OR PRESERVATION?

Auto restoration is a very involved process and you need a team that will guide you and have the knowledge to handle the level of expertise required. ​​​Contact us to get started on your project today!

The timeless beauty of the classic automobile carries a mystique that most enthusiasts can't explain. Classic automobiles do not always age gracefully though–time will take its toll. Whether it's an accident or just enduring nature’s elements over time, we work hard to eternalize the allure of the classic automobile through true craftsmanship.

​We strive to preserve the history of the automobile–because we believe the design is in the details.

THE PROCESS

Project Consultation
Our in-depth design consultation helps us understand each customer’s specific goal. We exchange ideas to determine exactly what our client wants based on cost and level of service.
Cost Estimate
While it is impossible to know the exact condition of a vintage automobile completely, we will keep you updated during the process of our findings. We are committed to communicate every step of the way.

Please Note:
Our price is based on time and materials, as every restoration comes with unique variables that make giving exact quotes impossible.  If your priority is finding the lowest cost option, we may not be the right fit—but if you’re looking for uncompromising quality, you’ve come to the right place. We will keep you informed and updated every step of the way on your project.
