If your car has been in the garage for a long time and you want to fix it up so you can drive it, call us. We can help you with every area of your car or truck. Restoring your classic car can take up to three years. The term frame off restoration means that your car is totally disassembled down to the bare frame and all the parts are clean restored or replaced, painted or powdered coated and reinstalled.
Restoration is a long term commitment. It is a very expensive undertaking and we recommend that you consider a project of this nature very seriously. To enjoy this type of project you should have an understanding of how cars are built. If you are a novice you may become less focused on the project and overpowered by the total expense.

I was extremely pleased with the wide range of restoration services completed on my '66 Ford Mustang ! Barry and his team exceeded my expectations with outstanding work as well as excellent communications, along the way. I shipped my car to his location from out of state, and he made sure it was kept safe and secure during the entire process. I have the utmost respect for Barry and his highly ethical way of conducting business. If you have a cherished classic (Mustang, Bronco,...) in need of any restoration work, this is your place.

Barry and his team truly care about getting it right. I brought him my untouched ‘65 Mustang to make it my every day driver. No easy task. He did what he said and made everything right. Nothing ever goes perfectly with classic cars, but Barry communicates well, and he’s also a perfectionist. He wants you to be happy. If it’s not right, he takes care of it, no questions or extra charges. I love every minute in my Mustang thanks to Wilson Auto repair.

We visited the shop b4 asking for help and it 'appeared' very nice. Owner SEEMED congenial. Many employed, several quadrants and lifts to spray room. Some of the cars in there SEEMED to be undergoing nut&bolt /rotisserie restoration So we felt comfortable- our convertible was sent in for front-end issues, power window, and power top issues. @ $8000.00 dollars later we were told the front end was done to perfection. Then to my surprise, we were told that we (and I quote) "..should not worry about the electric windows or top working.."!!!! He was rude and curt -obvious that he did not want to fix

I found Wilson Auto Repair online and decided to use them based on all the positive reviews. What began as the installation of power steering in my 1965 Mustang led to an overhaul of the brake, fuel and suspension systems, which were in a much poorer state than I realized. Barry Wilson was great at keeping me informed of their progress and while it was a pretty hefty price tag overall, I’m very pleased to have a much safer, fun driver and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again. You can definitely trust your classic car to Barry Wilson and his team!

I have worked with this shop on multiple occasions and I cannot speak more highly of Barry and his team here. Very professional work and communication is top notch. I have worked with many shops in the past and have yet to come accross one like Wilson Auto Repair. I would trust them with any of my vehicles and can truly say that they do excellent work!

Wilson Auto Repair has become "THE" place to go to if you want your car being handled in a professional way ! Our 1978 Ford Thunderbird had some A/C issues and Barry and his team fixed that problem in a short period of time, found the exact pieces needed and talked me through it along the way.
We love the way Wilson Auto Repair communicates...first garage that keeps me posted on the progress of the repairs, the cost of it and the time needed to have it fixed. And every time it was done with less money than expected and faster than estimated.
Thanks for an excellent job, yet again !
