Thousands of Happy Customers

I’m very satisfied with the work done on my 1955 Chevy. I bought a car that was parked over 20 years. It needed complete brake rebuild, fuel system rebuild, and generator to alternator conversion. The work was very professionally done. The car now is very dependable and road worthy. I drive the car everyday and have taken several road trips in it. I highly recommend Wilson Classic Car Repair Shop.

– Donnie W.

Barry kept me regularly informed with texts and pictures as my 1965 Mustang proceeded through the process. He did a great job bringing my first favorite car back to life. I got more salutes, hellos, and waves on one outing with my old friend than I do any day with my more modern carbon fiber supercar.

– David E.

Excellent commitment to detail. This shop ensures the final product is correct and will work extra to make it so. Very clean work. The problems were not just fixed, but the entire vehicle was given back to me better than when I took it in – even some small odds and ends were just tidied up to make it better. They make sure everything is correct.

– Geoff B.

Great service and communication throughout repair. Kept me informed of work with pictures, videos and texts. Truck now runs great and addressed all the concerns I had. Highly recommend! Barry and team are awesome.

– Carl M.

Wilson Auto Restoration Repair did fantastic work on our 57 Tbird. We were kept informed of all repairs, process and costs. Very thankful for Barry, Kristy and their staff.
