About Long Beach Classics
Long Beach Classics is a restoration and custom build shop located in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, not in the city of Long Beach itself. The shop says it was established in 2009 and serves enthusiasts across Long Beach, San Pedro, Huntington Beach and the wider Los Angeles and Orange County area.
What the shop restores
The shop describes its focus as classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars, with much of its restoration work on vehicles from the 1930s through the 1970s. It takes on factory-correct restorations as well as custom and restomod builds, including disc brake conversions, suspension changes and electrical upgrades.
In-house work
Long Beach Classics says it handles 95 percent of its projects in-house. Its website has separate pages for paint and body and for upholstery, and lists:
- Complete frame-off restoration
- Show-quality paint and bodywork
- Custom body fabrication
- Upholstery for classic cars
- Engine restoration, chassis and suspension work
- Maintenance and service
People and history
The shop says its team has more than 40 years of combined experience. It does not name its owner on the pages we reviewed. A customer review on Birdeye describes the owner as involved and easy to reach, but that is one person's account and the shop itself publishes no ownership details.
Working with the shop
The website says the shop offers free quotes and a service warranty on parts and labor of up to six months. It also notes that bilingual staff speak English and Spanish. How projects are billed and whether deposits are required is not published, so clarify this up front. Our guide to choosing a classic car restoration shop covers the contract questions to ask.
