La Grange, Illinois shop restoring European exotics and American muscle cars to concours standard since 1979.
About Custom Cars Unlimited
Custom Cars Unlimited is a restoration and custom shop in La Grange, Illinois, that says it has restored vintage European exotics and American muscle cars to concours quality since 1979. It is led by founder Pete Sanchez and, according to its website, his son Dino. The Better Business Bureau profile lists the same 1979 start.
History and ownership
The site credits Pete Sanchez as the industry leader behind the business and says the shop now works with his son Dino. The shop describes cars as works of art in both appearance and engineering, which is how it frames its approach to restoration. The address given by the BBB is 340 E Burlington Ave, La Grange, IL 60525.
What it restores
The shop names Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lamborghini among its European work, and also restores classic American and muscle cars. It says its projects are accurate to factory markings, specifications and equipment. It also offers high-end European collision repair, so some of its day-to-day work may not be restoration.
Work done in-house
The site describes five departments: a metal shop for fabrication, a paint shop, a mechanical shop, a body shop, and a disassembly and assembly team. It also lists engine rebuilding and interior and trim restoration. Keeping these crafts under one roof is common for a shop that markets complete restorations.
Awards
The shop says its domestic and foreign projects have won awards ranging from the World of Wheels competition to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The site does not name the cars or years, so we cannot verify the details and present them as the shop's claim.
Working with the shop
The site points visitors to its gallery and a contact page and does not describe pricing, deposits or reporting. For guidance on what to ask a high-end shop, see choosing a classic car restoration shop.
Reputation and visiting
The BBB gives the business an A+ rating, though it is not BBB accredited and has no customer reviews on that page. We saw no verifiable star rating, so none is quoted. The phone number is (708) 354-7888, and the website did not list hours, so call first. Browsing classic cars for sale in Illinois can help you decide what to restore.
