On 6/26/2023 Patrick Vaughan had this to say:
Mike Paine and his crew are top notch professionals with expertise in all areas - restoration, customization and fabrication. Their knowledge of cars is broad and deep. They guided me through every decision I made and were upfront about the the options and costs. They transformed my abandoned 1950 Chevy Sport Coupe Deluxe into a unique custom street rod that wins at car shows. Testimonial written by Patrick Vaughan on this site.

On 3/3/2022 Chris Smith had this to say:
It was great. They do very good work. I've had my 1965 Thunderbird there. And also my 1962 Impala there. Impala is going back for more work.

On 12/1/2021 Julian had this to say:
These guys are very down to earth and are super easy to work with. I had them fabricate some intercooler piping and it came out amazing! They were kind enough to give me a tour of their shop on other cars they’re working on and it goes to show that these men do nothing less then clean, professional installs. 10/10 would recommend them for your car that needs restored or any fabrication.
