For the car you intend to keep
Collectors and owners of classic and exotic vehicles bring us the work that has to be right. Your project starts with a conversation and a written plan, gets photographed at every phase, and ends when the car meets the standard we agreed on.
Mon to Fri, 9am to 6pm. Projects scoped by appointment.The scope comes first, then the build
Most owners who call already know the car. What they want to know is the shop, so your project starts with a conversation.
The scope follows the conversation, and the build follows the scope. You are kept current the whole way, and nothing happens to your car without your sign-off first.
-
The conversation, before anything is booked
We look at the car and talk through what you want from it: a faithful restoration, a color change, a repair that has to disappear. No work is booked until the goal is clear.
-
The plan, written down before anything starts
The plan is written down before anything begins: what we touch, what we leave, the materials, and a realistic timeline. You approve it, and it becomes the standard the work is measured against.
-
The build, documented every step of the way
Every phase is photographed: teardown, metalwork, primer, color, clear, reassembly. The file is yours. It also protects the car’s history for the next owner, if there ever is one.
-
Updates without chasing, on a set rhythm
You hear from us on a rhythm you can count on. If something in the scope needs to change, you hear about it before it happens.
-
Delivery, on the scope you approved
Your project ends when the car meets the written standard you agreed on. It leaves clean, documented, and under a lifetime warranty.
The hands your car actually needs
The reason a collector ships a car across a state line is the work itself, and that is where this shop puts its time.
A master painter on the gun
More than twenty years painting in both PPG and Glasurit systems, with the patience to spend days on your color match when the car earns it.
Fabrication and structure, held to tolerance
Real repair across your carbon fiber, fiberglass, aluminum, and steel unibody. Your panels get shaped and structure gets squared to factory geometry.
The right materials, handled the right way
Carbon fiber finish work, aluminum panel repair, and composite repair are routine here on your car, each with its own prep and its own equipment. We say so honestly if your job needs an outside specialist.
The equipment behind every finished car
Glasurit color work in a USI Italia downdraft booth, structural work for your car on a Global Jig bench. The standard your car gets held to.
A few examples of collector work
Not full projects, just some of what goes on in the shop, in our own photos. Tap any one to browse.
Lifetime written warranty, for as long as you own the vehicle.
We also work with agreed-value and stated-value collector policies, and document the repair so the car’s value is supported on paper.

Tell us all about your project
Send your details through and a project lead reads them, then reaches out to talk through scope and timing. Vehicles are scoped in person, by appointment, and the whole process is handled discreetly. If a car needs to come in from out of the area, we help arrange transport.
How does your restoration or repair project actually get started?
Plain answers before a car comes in.
How does a project start?
With a conversation and a written plan. We look at the car, agree on the goal, and put the plan in writing before any work is booked, and nothing happens to your car without your approval first.
Do you work on both classics and modern exotics?
Yes. Faithful restorations on older vehicles and specialty work on modern exotics both run through the same shop, on the same documented process.
How do you handle carbon fiber, aluminum, and other materials?
Carbon fiber finish work, aluminum panel repair, and composite repair are routine here, each with its own prep and its own equipment. Color is matched across all of them in Glasurit. When a job calls for an outside specialist, we say so.
Can you work with an agreed-value or stated-value policy?
Yes. We work with collector carriers and agreed-value and stated-value policies, and we document the repair so the car’s value is supported on paper.
Can you take a vehicle from out of the area?
Yes. You can ship your car to us from outside the Bay Area and occasionally from out of state. We help arrange transport and keep your car under cover and documented the whole time it is with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Lifetime written warranty, for as long as you own the vehicle. It is non-transferable, so coverage ends if you sell the car. If something we repaired or painted fails while you own it, we make it right. See the full terms on our warranty page.
