About Us

We pride ourselves on doing a good job at a competitive price working closely with our customers through the restoration process. We don’t do MOT patch type repairs, or cheap blow over paint jobs as this is not the sort of work we are happy to let out of workshop with our name on.

Since we first established in 2009 our business has moved mainly towards restoration work. Although we still undertake mechanical and custom work we book it in around our restoration work.

Our 3000sqft workshop is fully secured and equipped with modern and traditional metalworking tools. If you want to visit our workshop to view our work, you are more than welcome but please call before arriving to make sure we are available. We usually have four or five restorations being undertaken at any one time.

Based in Brownhills, West Midlands.
