Classic Engines, Transmission Rebuilds and Replacements
Our services range from routine tune-ups and valve adjustments to full transmission replacements and engine overhauls, tailored to maintain or enhance your classic car's performance. Go OEM or get modifications to upgrade clutches, differentials, and driveshafts.

Cooling System and Heating System Repairs
We diagnose and fix issues with classic car cooling and heating systems, offering everything from basic repairs to comprehensive custom rebuilds. Should you need a complete core replacement, an aluminum radiator, or an upgraded cooling system, our team can install OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacements or embark on a complete custom system build.

Hard to Find Parts
We have been sourcing hard-to-find parts for classic cars and trucks since 1999. Whether it's reproduced or refurbished fuel pumps, water pumps, pistons, or other components, we can locate and install everything to ensure your vehicle maintains its original fit and function.

Suspension and Steering
Adjust the quick ratio of an old classic car to emulate the ratio of a modern sports car. After years of wear and tear, it becomes essential to replace tie rods, leaf springs, or coil springs to restore your vehicle's ability to release energy when in motion. Consider opting for lowering springs that offer more coils in a condensed stack for a low-profile look.

Upgrade your classic car's steering and suspension for a modern, smoother driving experience, including custom adjustments for a sportier feel and better handling.

We specialize in emissions tuning for late-model high-performance engines, offering bolt-on modifications for muscle and vintage car tune-ups. We also provide specialized tune-ups, focusing on everything from regular maintenance to advanced emissions tuning and performance enhancements.
