We do a little bit of everything around here. Whether you need your annual tune up, or a car brought out of a 30-year slumber, we've got you covered. Our shop is capable of everything but the paint and body. Our experience and capability along with our open door and flexibility to work on your car the way you prefer is what sets us apart.
We specialize in European sports cars. We are known for our extensive knowledge and experience with British marques like Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, and others. While the British stuff is what we are known for, we are competent with most vintage cars. If you'd like us to work on something unique, let us know. We will give you our straight forward take, and we can collectively decide if we are the right ones for the job.
We have some parts stock for pre-1980 British vehicles, but we are not a dedicated parts dealer. Our parts stock serves mainly for us to work efficiently on your car. That said, if there is a specific part you are looking for, let us know, and we may be able to help you out.
Our labor rate is $135/hr. We aim to bill for every focused hour we spend on your project, and nothing more. We don't mark up parts. We encourage our customers to bring their own parts if they prefer.
