At Klassic Rides, we understand that undertaking a classic car restoration can be an intimidating process. It’s not easy to turn over something you love for a long time to people you don’t know. That’s why we take the time to get to know our customers as well as we do their cars, walking them through every step of the restoration process from start to finish.

No doubt you will have countless questions when you are considering a classic car repair shop to complete your car restoration. Hopefully this list of the questions we’re asked most often will answer many of them. Please feel free to read through the list, then contact us directly with any other questions you might have.

We want you to be completely comfortable with Klassic Rides as your choice for your classic car restoration or custom car painting. Out of all the classic car repair shops in NC, the southeast, or across the country, you won’t find anyone else who loves your classic car as much as we do.


Q: How much will it cost me to restore my Classic car?

Due to all the unforeseen repairs on any restoration project it is impossible to answer this question. The true cost only starts to be seen when tear down begins and the rebuilding process is on the way, which is why all of our work is on a time and materials basis. You have to remember we are not a collision shop but a restoration business. You, the customer, can add or take away some cost due to the level of completion that you want us to perform. We have customers that do a lot of work themselves and bring it to us for body work and paint only.


Q: Will you do just body work and custom car painting without restoring it completely?

Yes, we have different options when it comes to just a paint job. Our standard paint job is a 2 stage PPG system in which all chrome, fenders, doors and glass is removed; the body work process and paint is the same as when we do a complete restoration. The second option is what we call a “daily driver Classic”, in which the chrome, windows & rubber trim would be taped off, and the doors and fenders would not be removed etc. Paint will be a single stage type and body prep will not be the same as option one, this is for the budget minded that want a daily driver that looks good going down the road.


Q: How long will my restoration take?

There is not a time line that can be held on a complete restoration, as you never know what you may run across as you get into the project. Trim & paint can hide many types of restoration that may be needed. Projects can range from months to years. Every vehicle is different, even if it is the same make and year, it is all in how well it was taken care of from the day it came off the showroom floor. We keep detailed photos from start to finish, which the customer will receive a copy of at the time of delivery.


Q: What type of paint will you put on my Classic Car?

We use the Deltron 2000 (DBC), a PPG paint system.  We can, at the Customers request, get any line of PPG paint. We are PPG Certified to use PPG paint.
