Full-Service Solutions for Your Classic Car

Maintaining a classic car can feel like a never-ending project at times. There are always things that can be done to improve the car. The good news is that our team at Rick’s Auto Repair & Body Shop provides full-service solutions for your classic car:

Complete Off-Frame Restorations

If the car is really run down, then it might be necessary to clean the slate by stripping everything down to the frame. Then, each component is restored so the final results are in better-than-new conditions.

Custom Paint & Refinishing

Can you see rust spots or faded paint on your car? Then it’s time for a facelift with fresh paint. We create a shiny finish. Choose from factory-original colors or a custom hue if you want to make a statement.

Engine & Drivetrain Rebuilds

Sit in comfort and style with quality upholstery and interior finishes. We can restore the leather seats and upgrade the dashboard if needed.

Upholstery and Interior Restoration

We always start with a full inspection of your brake system. Not only do we measure the brake pads, but we also look at the condition of your brake fluid, calipers, and rotors. You’ll receive a recommended service plan and a pricing estimate.

Electrical System & Wiring Repairs

If the old wiring is still in place, then it is likely that you are having reliability issues with your classic car. These electrical issues can be frustrating, which is why our team is here to help. We’ll check all of the electrical components, including the lights, gauges, and more.

Suspension, Steering, & Brake Upgrades

Make sure that your classic car handles like a modern vehicle on the road. We can help with rebuilding the suspension system, installing disc brakes, and upgrading the steering components. These upgrades improve both performance and safety.
