frequently asked questions

How much will this cost me?

While the occasional surprise awaits, I do my best to keep my customers informed of the potential costs and timeframe in any project or repair. Costs are based on a “time and materials” basis, with the hourly labor rate of $145.00.

Where is your shop and how can I get my car to you? Is it worth the hassle?

My shop is located in Western Pennsylvania about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh. I have customers from as far away as Colorado, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, Maryland, Georgia, and elsewhere. I can help you arrange secure, trustworthy, professional enclosed transport of your vehicle through Applewood Motorcars or others. Please email me to discuss your needs.

Do you do body and paint restoration?

I have performed some welding and metalwork repairs on these cars, however I am not efficient at those tasks and my skills are not those of a true “body restoration” shop. I simply lack the facilities and experience to do these repairs to the level these cars deserve. I can help guide you to those shops that focus on such tasks with utmost care and knowledge, however.
