Electrical, Mechanical & Wiring Expertise

We’re known for our thorough approach to wiring and diagnostics, capable of rewiring entire vehicles and tackling even the most challenging electrical issues. Our mechanical work covers everything from suspension upgrades and rear-end rebuilds to drivetrain swaps and fine-tuned exhaust systems. These services are made possible by our advanced facility capabilities and the extensive knowledge of our crew. Every component is installed with care, and our attention to detail means you get reliable performance that looks as good as it functions.

Custom Fabrication & Finishing

High-level fabrication is one of our strongest assets. We build one-of-a-kind chassis, perform structural and cosmetic sheet metal work, and finish every piece with a focus on strength, function, and appearance. Our metal repair and fabrication efficiency comes from experience, but also from having the right tools in-house. From smooth panel alignment to reinforced custom components, we create pieces that stand out and stand up to real use. The only way is the right way—and that mindset drives every project that comes through our doors.

Our Team

Our full-time team brings over 60 years of combined industry experience to the table. We don’t just work together—we build, problem-solve, and create together. The shop is led by our owner, who has been in the industry since 2009 with extensive experience in chassis fabrication, sheet metal work, and electrical systems. Matt contributes his background in welding, mechanical repair, disassembly, and assembly, while Tom brings over 30 years of experience, including a decade selling GM performance parts and working in the dealership world. He specializes in modern drivetrains, suspension, and electrical diagnostics. Each of us owns personal projects and car builds, and we hold each other to a standard where every detail matters.

  • Owner: 15+ years in chassis fabrication, electrical repair, and full builds. Former shop manager and lead fabricator.
  • Matt: Brings deep experience in welding, sheet metal, and full mechanical work, with 15+ years in the industry.
  • Tom: Over 30 years in automotive, from dealership work to performance upgrades and electrical diagnostics.

Process Transparency & Communication

We believe communication should never be an afterthought. Most updates are shared through phone calls or in-person meetings, and all customers—local or out-of-state—are welcome to stop in and check on progress. For out-of-state clients, we send photo updates with every invoice or upon request. We also involve clients in the decision-making process, ensuring they always know what they’re paying for and what stage their vehicle is in. That kind of openness builds trust—and most of our customers become friends long before their build is done.

Ongoing Growth & Industry Involvement

We stay sharp by staying involved. From attending national industry shows like SEMA and PRI to hands-on training at advanced metalworking classes, we make sure we’re always learning. We also spend weekends at car shows throughout the year to stay up to date with trends, style changes, and evolving customer preferences. This commitment to growth helps us constantly improve our skills and expand our facility capabilities to better serve our clients.

Customer Experience

For us, it’s about more than just the car—it’s about the experience. We aim to make every build fun, transparent, and collaborative. Clients are encouraged to ask questions, get involved, and visit the shop. Most of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers, and we take that seriously. Whether it’s a quick repair or a full show-stopping build, every customer is treated with respect, and every vehicle is treated like it’s one of our own.
