Working with the shop
The website says the shop keeps close contact with owners during a project and discusses any change to an estimate openly. A testimonial on the site praises near-daily progress updates, though that is a single client's comment published by the shop itself. Anyone planning a build should still ask for a written scope; our guide to classic car restoration cost explains how budgets tend to grow.
