I always admired the craftsmanship that went into classic vehicles. My first classic car was a 1970 Buick Skylark I had bought before my senior year of high school.

I worked hard throughout the year, so I would be able to drive it to my senior prom. Upon graduating from tech school, I obtained a position at a collision shop. I quickly became the head technician in the paint department, and although I was working on modern cars, my passion for classic cars did not fade. My technicians and I pride ourselves on being honest and hard working. Whether it be a full restoration, or providing service for your daily driver, we are dedicated to maintaining your vehicle for as long as you have it.
