“I owned an older Jeep Sahara that I loved but did not drive that much. It had been sitting for quite a while collecting leaves and the sun baking it. I wanted my younger son to be able to drive my toy when he turned 16. I found RestoRides while on vacation in NC and talked about the car and what we could do to update it. Wow, when I came to pick it up, it did not even look close to the rag top I brought in. I was actually shocked at how beautiful the Jeep was. The attention to detail was unbelievable, right down to the stickers. All I can say is Wow, and thank you.”
“Roy took my 1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and brought it back to life. Truly amazing work and attention to detail. I started out with the exterior and after seeing the workmanship, I had Restorides do the interior work next. The Jeep looks like it just came off the showroom floor. The family is impressed! Thanks Restorides!”
“I was looking for a classic car to putt around in during my spare time from traveling, and wanted a muscle car. I came across RestoRides while snooping around on the internet and fell in love with the 1978 Trans Am that was being restored. I contacted RestoRides. When the car was completed, RestoRides shipped the car to me and WOW, what a nice job they did. I was expecting a nice car, however, this car exceeded all expectations. Wow, Wow, Wow is all I can say, and thank you RestoRides!”
“I was snooping online for someone close to me to help me get my beach buggy back up to new condition. Bumped into Restorides and spoke to them. They came and picked up my Jeep and in 40 days, she was ready just in time for the Big Rock Tournament here in Morehead City. Thanks guys!”
