Vintage Auto Repair

Recently I decided to jump in to the hobby of classic cars with my daughter who is very passionate about American Muscle Cars.  Being new to all of this I made all of the mistakes that you can possibly make.  I bought a 1968 Mustang and had it shipped to Phoenix and the car could not have been a bigger disaster.  That is when I turned to Vintage Auto Repair to save me from what I had done.  I have now been working with Vintage on this project for several months.  Dave Grigsby has been fantastic educating me every step of the way.  We discuss options and I choose what's right for me with no sales pressure.  Every bit of work they have done on the car has been great.  They will continue to work on it until they get it right and based on my research they do it at a very fair price.  My advice to you if you are considering jumping in to the classic car game go see Dave and Terry first.  Ask a lot of questions and get the right advice which will save you the headaches in the long run.  I am now proudly driving a beautifully done car that my daughter and I are incredibly proud of and it is all due to Dave and the mechanics at Vintage Auto Repair.  P.S. these projects are not fast and they are not cheap so go see these guys and get an idea of what you are getting in to before pulling the trigger.  It is definitely worth every penny!!!

David @ Vintage Auto is simply put, the "FiTech Whisper!"  Upon my first discussion with David I knew he was "The one"  he is truly just a good guy, open, honest and a genuine Hot Rod/car guy. I have a classic Mustang with a FiTech EFI and was in much need of a knowledgeable tech to dial it in. David was it! I'm truly lucky to have found Vintage Auto and David.

Sadly, disappointed. These guys are GREAT at knowing how to fix muscle cars. Their knowledge is superior on what the remedy to your problem should be, and I rate them a 5 on that. I felt very lucky to have found them for my collection of 7 antiques. Unfortunately, their quality control and attention to detail rates at a 1. I sincerely thought Dave and Terry truly cared about the customer, so I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, and would return with another car for them to work on. Dont be surprised to find when you pick up your vehicle, that something else popped up. When they fixed the shift lever as requested I was in awe. But sorely disappointed that they left some wires dangling under the dash without putting them back. And they must have touched something in the fuse box right next to that shift lever because the radio speaker is fried. And I have no green colour on my car. So where did that can of green spray paint left on the radiator shroud come from? And I was ecstatic that they were able to fix my brakes.. but why is the power steering now sound like it is in pain? The clutch is perfectly smooth, but I am not impressed with the left over hand prints on my white seats, door panels, and white walls. And they were able to install the engine and it looked perfect. But with (among other things) the spark advance installed upside down, and the fuel line fittings cross threaded, I still cannot drive it until I take it back for a second visit. I resolved to fixing the fuel line myself because I was so DONE with them and did not trust them to make it right on a 96 year old brass carburetor. The brakes were serviced with new drums, shoes, cylinders so why does it sound like rocks in the hubcaps? They said they found nothing. Upon close inspection, I did my own discovery and found that the shoes are too wide for those drums, and the cotter pin is catching on the dust cover with each rotation. Beats me why they could not find that. Someone found the emblem they broke off the door.. but instead of telling me about it, they just picked it up off the floor and layed it on the dash for me to find. Each succeeding time I picked up a vehicle, I cringed more than the last time, waiting to see what would be new problems in the wake of their repairs. Everything was great except for again, missing quality control and attention to any details.
