JRA Restoration & Fabrication

JRA Restoration & Fabrication is a Spokane, Washington shop that says it specializes in full frame-off restoration of domestic and foreign classic automobiles. Its website calls it a small professional shop by design, with quality as the first priority. For anyone deciding between large and small shops, our guide on choosing a classic car restoration shop covers the trade-offs.

Who they are

The site does not publish a founding year, owner names or a company history, so none is given here. The business is registered as an LLC and operates from Willow Springs Road in Spokane. Directory listings describe the shop as working on a time-and-materials basis, but the shop's own pages we could read do not spell out its billing, so ask directly.

What they restore

The portfolio on the shop's site is unusually broad. It lists Ford models (a 1928 Model A, a 1940 coupe, a 1955 F100, a 1976 F250 Highboy and a 1967 Mustang), Volkswagens (a 1963 Beetle, a 1971 Karmann Ghia and a 1973 Super Beetle), American muscle such as a 1969 Camaro and a 1968 Pontiac GTO, and European and Japanese sports cars including a Datsun 240Z, a 1952 MG TD and Porsche 911 and 914 models. It also lists motorcycles, among them a Honda cafe racer and a Yamaha SR500.

Work in the shop

The shop lists full frame-off restoration as its core service, and directories add paint, bodywork, metal fabrication and restomod work. It shows custom builds as well, including a Factory Five Cobra and a Superkart 250. Current projects on the site included a Jeep, a Ford Bronco, a 1958 Buick Roadmaster restomod and a 1971 Karmann Ghia. Because the shop is small, ask about its schedule and how many projects it carries at once.

• Full frame-off restoration of domestic and foreign classics
• Paint and bodywork
• Metal fabrication and custom builds
• Restomod projects

Awards and working with the shop

No awards are documented on the pages we reviewed, and the site does not describe deposits or progress reporting. Frame-off work is among the costliest kinds of restoration, so reading classic car restoration cost before requesting an estimate is worthwhile.

Reputation

The shop appears on classic car directories and on Facebook. We could not open an independent review page with a verifiable rating and review count, so no rating is quoted.

Visiting and contact

JRA is at 5103 E Willow Springs Rd, Spokane, WA 99223. The site shows no phone number or hours, and a directory phone with a 425 area code did not look local, so it is left out; use the contact options on the shop's site. Looking for a car to restore?
