Repair, maintenance & restoration services

Filter by what you're after — everyday repair and maintenance, or restoration and performance work. Either way, you talk directly to the people turning the wrenches.

Showing all 13 services

Dedicated Mechanics

Full suspension repairs, brake work, engine swaps and overhauls, and rear differential rebuilds. We also have welding equipment and tubing benders in-house to perform any fabrication work the job needs.

Breakdown / Pickup Service

We don't offer towing — but if you have a car you want restored and no way to get it here, we'll come to you with our truck and trailer and pick the vehicle up ourselves.

Car Checks

Has your vehicle been sitting for a while? Want to make sure it's ready for race season or car show season? We look the vehicle over top to bottom, confirm it's safe and reliable — or give you a clear list of what it needs to get there.

Tire Change

Coming Soon

We're currently working on getting the equipment needed for tire changing. Keep an eye out here — this will update as soon as it's ready.

Equipment On The Way

Oil & Brake Checks

We even do your basic oil changes and brake repairs. No job is too small to do right — and it's an easy way to get a second set of experienced eyes on your vehicle.

Oil Changes · Brake Repairs

Battery, Alternator & Starter

Battery changes plus alternator and starter checks. If your car cranks slow, clicks, or dies on the road, we'll track down whether it's the battery, the charging system, or the starter — and fix the right one.

Battery · Alternator · Starter

Engine Rebuilds & Machining

Complete engine rebuilds, crate and modernized engine installs, bottom-end teardowns, and full blueprinting — like the Model A rod-knock repair we handled with a Burtz block engine. Cody's background is as an engine machinist and builder.

Blueprint · Burtz Block · Overhauls

Performance Upgrades & EFI Swaps

Performance tuning, Holley Sniper and Terminator X EFI conversions, brake upgrades, and drivability upgrades that make a classic or hot rod start, idle, and cruise like a modern car.

Holley Sniper · Terminator X · Tuning

Full Restorations

Classic cars and trucks restored end to end — sourcing and ordering parts, restoring your existing parts, and fabricating new ones when no catalog sells them anymore.

Classics · Trucks · Hot Rods

Wiring & Electrical

Full vehicle rewires, chassis and dash harness installs, gauge and sensor repair — including 6-volt system restoration that most shops won't touch.

American Autowire · 6-Volt Systems

Paint, Body & Fabrication

Paint and bodywork, truck and car painting, and detailing from Bill's 30+ years of painting and racing experience — plus in-house welding and tube bending for custom fabrication.

Odd Request? Good.

If it's got wheels, we'll take a look.

Rod-knock Model A's, 6-volt electrics, a '69 Corvette intake swap, an MG that hasn't run in years — we've said yes to all of it. If your job doesn't fit a neat category, reach out anyway. We'll tell you what we think it needs and how much the work would be, straight up.

  • Thorough top-to-bottom inspection on every vehicle
  • Detailed written list of needed work — you approve every item
  • Honest, fair pricing from a two-man father-and-son shop
