Our expertise lies in getting your antique auto restoration or classic car restored to the level of quality it had when the first owner purchased the car. We never cut corners and take extreme care from start to finish to ensure your restoration is nothing but perfect. If a Restomod is your desire, we work closely with you to choose new upgrades and modern features so the end result has all the bells and whistles. A full restoration is like a house; it is only as good as its foundation and the planning that goes into its construction.
Professional automobile restoration shops are generally much more involved than amateur restorers in ensuring that their work meets modern safety standards while preserving historic accuracy as much as possible.
In order to produce a long lasting vehicle, we must start at the beginning by fully disassembling the vehicle. Necessary components are stripped to there bare substrates. Each piece is then carefully inspected to determine what needs to be replaced, repaired, or fabricated.
All structural and non-structural repairs are performed, all necessary components are test fit and then followed by the body work and series of blocking and priming to insure that every panel is strait and is properly aligned. Once this has been achieved the body and all the parts refinished inside and out. Followed by wet sanding and polishing the paint to a mirrored finished.
While this process is happening, the vehicles engine, drive train steering, suspension and frame/sub frame (if applicable) are rebuilt, replaced upgraded, test fit and refinished. After all the prior steps are completed the vehicle will be carefully assembled for a final time. We work to rebuild the project to your specifications.

What Customers Say
“It was wonderful experience at Innovative Restorations which left me speechless with the quality of work and promptness. Not only the job done was flawless but cost effective. The best service you can get. Adam Bradley, whom we met, knows his stuff and expert in giving the most cost effective solution for the job.”
Had some custom work done on my ’48 Desoto here and I am very happy. Very knowledgeable and can do it all start to finish. Also had them restore an old Murray pedal car for my daughter that came out amazing. Just picked up a second pedal car and will definitely have them restore this one as well.
Adam and the guys worked on a vehicle of mine and the workmanship was perfect! He also dealt with the insurance company so I didn’t have to which was great. It was nice having someone I could trust to deal with that. He also showed me around his immaculately clean shop. You could tell by the vehicles in there that people have trust in him and the company with the high quality of classic vehicles in the shop. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Highly recommend Adam and his team when you have issues with your car or even if you have a question. Adam is very knowledgeable, patient, and is willing to work with your concerns.
Adam and his team did a excellet job completing the mechanical upgrades and paint work on my classic Ford. Having had a bad experience with a previous shop that was incompetent and ill-equipped to perform the work, I knew from my initial meeting with Adam that they are a professional and extremely knowledgeable shop. My expectations were more than met with the quality and attention to detail that was shown on my project. I’m now a long lasting customer and would without hesitation highly recommend Innovative for all your automotive needs. You’ll be in good hands there! – Chris
Adam was most helpful with planning and executing the paint job on our 1966 Morgan. The job turned out to be a six month project that required much sheet metal talent and a minimum amount of filler. He received the car in seven pieces and worked with me to finish the tub first followed by the fenders. The front fender on a Morgan is eight feet long and due to Adam’s diligence he found a weld crack in the left fender that had gone undetected by me, but would have led to failure at a future date. The hood or bonnet was another challenge to remove the wrinkles using minimal filler. To summarize our experience with Adam, I must brag about our first place concur winner this past
Autumn Mog 2019
The Autumn Mog was a gathering of 45 Morgans with about eight vintage four seat models.

I came to Innovative Restorations for some non-emergency, but important mechanical work. They fit me into their schedule quickly, as it was my day off and I really appreciated their flexibility to accommodate my schedule. The technicians were both courteous and knowledgeable. There was a pleasant waiting area that was clean and quiet. You can tell that a lot of care goes in to making sure their customers are comfortable. If you’re a car person there is a lot to look at and admire here. I highly recommend Innovative Restorations!
Just had Adam and his team put a rear diffuser on my car and they did some great work. The car looks great and they did a check on my entire car. Thank you for the great service. No one gives that kind of detail to their work done.
I am extremely satisfied with Adam and his crew at innovative restorations. Adam is one of the few business owners that will go out of his way to ensure that his clients understand the process of restoration and all of their options. He is up front, honest and performs top of the line work. I would highly recommend innovative restorations for your basic day to day maintenance or the highest level of automobile restoration.

I brought my car in to have the alternator replaced. They provided me with a reasonable, detailed estimate very quickly. I liked that they told me what had to be fixed right away, vs what will need to be fixed in the future. They took the time to explain the repair to me which I appreciated. I had my car back within one day of dropping it off which was great. Very well organized and professional, I would definitely recommend and go back for future mechanical needs. Great to deal with, thanks again guys!
Great shop! These guys are honest and the prices are fair. They can handle all your restoration needs! I will definitely be back for more work.
