Here’s What V8 Speed & Resto Shop Customers Say…

V8 Speed & Resto Shop is the best place to go for any work you need done on your classic car our truck. I have been a customer there for several years, starting with maintenance work on my 1979 Jeep and also taking care of my 68 Malibu. Kevin, Kelle, and the whole team have an incredible amount of knowledge about classics, whether it be keeping things original or a modern resto upgrade. Recently, V8 completed a front suspension update on my Malibu to improve handling. The crew gave me several options and recommended a preferred solution. I am continually impressed with their attention to detail. They are meticulous with my classics and I appreciate it very much. By far, the best part of working with V8 Speed & Resto is their customer service. They get it. The team knows everyone has a different style, subtle tastes, and varying budgets. V8 does everything possible to make sure their customers are happy.

Thank you, Joe. The work V8 did was beautiful. People noticed when I showed up at events, and one of them made an offer I couldn’t refuse. I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Corvette ZO6 with 7,400 miles on the clock and I’m loving it.

Thanks also to Brian for being there for me on a daily basis. He was a great help. Thanks also to Kelle. She was great to work with on the financial side. Thanks also to Kevin, of course!

That’s a different car than the one I brought you! The ride was excellent, no rattle in the shifter and the radio sounds awesome!!! Thank you so very much.

Great job guys!

Joe,
Car is here now. WOW I can’t believe it.
How amazing it looks in person. And the little extra that came with it is amazing. Thanks to everyone at the V8 Speed Shop for all their work.

I just got back from a very nice ride in my beautifully restored Pontiac Trans AM, and I felt compelled to personally email you and your team, to thank you all for the exceptional work put into this car. If you remember our first phone conversation from well over a year ago, I explained that I owned a 77/ TA, and at the time was deeply disappointed in the results of recent work conducted by a so-called “firebird” expert in Springfield Massachusetts. As was evident, they delivered me a car that was incomplete, filled with issues, and certainly far from a finished product I was confident driving, nor was it in any condition that I’d be able to sell in the future with any level of personal integrity. While it was clear that I would need to find another group to rectify the embarrassment, I’m very happy that I found you guys at V8 Speed & Resto Shop!
