Customer Reviews
Restoration of a car can be quite a challenge, and is not a job to be undertaken lightly, or done easily by an amateur. It takes time and knowledge to truly restore a vehicle. Brian Murphy, who runs Murphy Brothers Auto Restoration ,understands this process from beginning to end, and has immense experience in this area. I was lucky enough to find him and have him work on a 1981 Mercedes 560 SLC modified by AMG which a friend had bequeathed me. The restoration work is first class. There was extensive metal welding and rust repair needed on this vehicle. Brian guided me carefully and fairly through the entire process. I can recommend Murphy Brothers Auto Restoration unequivocally without reservation. If you allow Brian to help you, it will be done correctly.
Empty promises. A friend's car was here for years without any real progress after tens of thousands of dollars in payment. It was supposed to be a restoration and ultimately had to be towed out with rust bubbling up through the primer. Do not bring your car here to rot.
I am having my 55 Ford F100 mechanically restored and slightly modernized at Murphy Brothers and am very pleased with the work they are doing. Estimates are fair and the work is excellent. So much so that my wife asked me to take her 92 Wrangler to them when it needed some repairs. I would definitely recommend Murphy Brothers if you want your classic restored or if you just want to keep your middle aged daily driver in top shape.
Outstanding workmanship. Honest, forthright, superb craftsmanship. I've been working with Brian and Gallo for 20 years, on numerous vehicles - usually at least one or two of my old cars are in the shop at any given time. Without fail, each time, the cars come out as stunning works of art. Now, fair warning - this is NOT a place to go for cheap or economy (or for that matter, fast overnight) work. Brian is expensive - you must know that going in. But he also is very accurate in his estimates and his timekeeping and recordkeeping and billing. Usually, when I go there, I wish there was a vaccine for sticker shock - but I've developed a fair immunity over the years. Because - the results are worth it. All of my cars usually go into the shop as hopeless rust buckets - or otherwise as f
They're cheap ripoffs with poor customer service, and a worse work ethic. I took my grandmother's 1930 Ford Model A Roadster to their shop to have them look at the brakes. They charged me $325.70 just to give me an estimate that it would cost $10,000 to rebuild my brakes. This was insane, and I have never felt so cheated. With the help of some friends, and a consultant I paid, I was able to rebuild the brakes for about $1,000, including parts and labor. The car now stops on a dime.
