Concours Vehicle Restorations at Harick Services

Vehicle restoration is complicated and time consuming for the customer, and we know that. Our team of project managers and highly skilled auto technicians take the anxiety out of the restoration for you, our customer. The vehicle is disassembled in house and reassembled with new or refurbished parts. After paint and body work is complete, the entire vehicle is reassembled here in our shop to the customers specifications.



From minor paint and body on your classic car to full frame off restorations, we do it. Beware of the fly by night shops that take your money, tear your car apart and then ask for more money. Often, they are using your deposit to finish someone else’s project because the money was mismanaged somewhere in the process. In the industry, we call this practice the “Restoration Ponzi Scheme”. Unestablished shops and even some of the big ones operate this way. We keep meticulous records and invoice regularly so you can always see where the money went. Our vehicle restoration business is repeat business, and there is a reason, because our customers trust us to do it right, every time.

The Restoration Process Options

In general, there are 2 types of restorations when talking about a vehicle, frame on and frame off.

Option 1: Frame on Restoration

This usually includes replacing parts of the vehicle that are either failing or can be upgraded along with replacing some wiring, wheels, tires, etc. This option also usually includes body work, repainting and upholstery. We try to only dissemble as much of the vehicle as possible, to save on labor hours and costs.

Option 2: Frame off Restoration

This is a full nut and bolt restoration. We disassemble every part of the vehicle that can come apart and rebuild it using either new parts, or refurbished original parts. This is the costliest option, but gives the customer a completely rebuilt, factory quality vehicle.

Option 3: Resto Mod

A resto-mod can be either a frame on or a frame off restoration, however, instead of rebuilding to vehicle to factory specs, we add more modern features like disc brakes, upgraded suspension, new electronics, modern interior, roll cages, fuel injection or a more modern motor and transmission.

The options for restorations are almost endless.  The sky is the limit when it comes to vision, and more importantly the budget.  We do our very best to give an accurate estimate, but it is not always possible and very often there are more repairs than anticipated.  We inspect every part of your car and recondition it as we reassemble it. As we find other areas that need repair, the price of the restoration can increase since it is not possible to anticipate everything that will need to be replaced or repaired.  This is especially true with rust repairs. 

 

If you are thinking about starting a restoration project, give us a call and we will set an appointment for you to come in and discuss your project with you.  We may be able to give you some insight into the project, and help you make the determination if a restoration is right for you.
