Yves and his team run a very unique shop, specializing in unusual cars (think Austin Healy, Renalt, Fiat, Ferrari) european race cars. Anything that's unusual, this team is YOUR TEAM. They have a great business, are resourceful and marvelous problem solvers. I'd recommend them in a heart beat. Thank you Yves for your work on my dad's roadster and my vintage Fiat.
If you own a vintage sports car, you owe it to yourself to talk with the guys at Vintage Sports Car! The owner, Yves Boode, has put together a team of experts that excel not only in terms of performance but also in communication and education. Every step along the way, they sent digital images and explanations of my classic Mini's issues and what they thought would be the BEST solutions. Vintage sports cars require that your technician be able to assess what's right and wrong with the car. They have to know when to bring in other experts to help them do things right the first time. Yves, Joe, and Ted are just such a team.
I just picked up my 71 VW Karmann Ghia she purrs!! Yves and Tim did a wonderful job with the steering gearbox, shifter linkage and a total physical. They provided me with detailed info of all the work performed with a cd of pictures. I am sooo happy with how the car handles. Shifts, sounds and smells. I am just starting my adventure of restoring my dream car and I am so happy I found Yves!! Thank you Yves and Tim
Beware : The car was in the shop for a simple replacement of a Crane ignition box. They used a XT1 replacement. They had previously rebuilt the carb and recommended a manual choke. The car never ran properly after that. It was towed 4 times back to their shop after that.. The final bill was 3500.00 dollars with only 200.00 worth of parts. The car never made it home. It would not run. This in a 1977 MGB with 22000 miles. I had driven the car from Louisville, Ky. to McHenry, Il. 6 months earlier. When the car failed to make it home after the erroneous repair. His reply was " What do you want me to do ? " They are incompetent and are unscrupulous !
