Penn-Dutch Restoration Services

Penn-Dutch Restoration Services is a restoration shop at 100 Commerce Drive in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania. It says it has restored vintage vehicles since 1979 and handles most of the work under one roof, from metal and paint to wood, upholstery and mechanical rebuilds.

Who they are

The shop's own tagline reads "Restoring the Past for the Future since 1979," and a post on the AACA forum describes show quality restorations from the shop over a similar span. The website gives Devon and Jeff as the contacts and says the technicians have more than 85 years of combined experience. The shop also lists membership in the Antique Automobile Club of America.

What they restore

The site does not list specific marques. It speaks generally of vintage vehicles, and its services point to older cars that need wood framing and steam bent convertible top bows, which suggests pre-war and early postwar work. We cannot confirm particular makes from published material.

The work done in-house

According to the shop, in-house services include:

• Full or partial concours quality restoration
• Paint and body work, using PPG products
• Rust repair and panel fabrication
• Woodwork and body restructuring
• Engine rebuilding and mechanical system rebuilds
• Electrical work
• Upholstery and convertible tops
• Specialty parts fabrication, including steam bent top bows

Notable projects and awards

The shop describes its paint and body work as award winning, but it does not name specific awards or events, so none are listed here.

Working with the shop

The shop says it offers its craftsmanship at reasonable hourly rates and treats each vehicle as if it were its own, with attention to cost. That points to hourly billing rather than a fixed quote, but the site does not describe deposits or progress reporting.

Reputation

An aggregator listing shows a small number of reviews, fewer than ten, which is too few to report a meaningful rating. We recommend reading current reviews and asking for references.
