Apex Classics & Customs

Apex Classics & Customs is a restoration and custom shop in Glendale, Arizona, in the west Phoenix area. Its website presents four main services: complete restoration, modified restoration, custom fabrication, and paint and body work. The shop does not publish a founding year or the names of its owners.

Who they are

The business works from 6714 W Frier Dr in Glendale (85303). The site says the shop uses "top quality products and great attention to detail" to fulfill customers' car needs and dreams. It keeps a presence on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. The public business email on the site contains a spelling slip in the word "classics", so it is best to confirm contact details by phone. This is a different business from Apex Customs in Tempe, which is a general auto shop.

What they restore

The project photos on the site lean toward American classics and trucks. Examples shown include a 1955 Cadillac, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, a 1972 Chevrolet C10 and a 1956 Chevrolet truck. The shop does not publish a formal list of marques it accepts, so owners of other makes should ask directly.

The work done in house

• Complete restoration: a full rebuild of the vehicle, as listed on the site.
• Modified restoration: restoration with changes to the original specification.
• Custom fabrication: metal work for parts and panels.
• Paint and body: bodywork and refinishing.

The site does not say whether upholstery or engine building is handled in house or sent out, and it does not describe frame-off or rotisserie methods.

Projects and awards

No awards or named client builds are documented on the shop's own pages. The gallery is the main evidence of its work, and prospective customers can ask to see finished cars and work in progress.

Working with the shop

Nothing is published about estimates, deposits, billing method or progress updates. Before committing, ask how the work is quoted and how often photos are shared. Our guide on classic car restoration cost explains why those answers matter for a project of this size.
