D & L Restoration

D&L is the only shop I use. I found Louie years ago when my 1977 pick up was rear ended. The insurance company wanted to write it off and no other shop would touch it. The D&L team did a fantastic job at a reasonable price. Their initial bid did not include replacement of a quarter panel, but previous damage was uncovered after starting the repair and a new panel had to be welded on. They had every right to charge extra but they didn’t. They just cared about delivering a quality product to their customer. But that is not the reason for this review. I recently had D&L repair a scratch on the truck… Louie had saved the paint! It has been 6 years since the first repair and Louie moved the shop… and they kept my paint. They did an excellent job again, and guess what, without fanfare or extra money, they fixed the latch on my tailgate and tweaked the idle on my engine so that it runs like a top. Awesome shop, awesome people. Won’t go anywhere else.

I came into a little bit of money through an inheritance and decided to get my grandfather’s old farm truck restored. I knew that I didn’t have the time and know-​how to restore it myself so I wanted to find a good shop and I found D&L. I took my grandfather’s old Chevy truck into D&L after doing some research online and talking to a few different shops in the area. I selected D&L because their rates seemed the most reasonable and I liked the family atmosphere that they described on their website. Like most successful businesses, they are busy. And since I’m very impatient, things aren’t always done as fast as you’d like them to be done, but most of that isn’t on D&L it’s more on getting the necessary parts, etc.
I have several friends who have restored their own cars, so they are rather particular on how the work is done, etc. and they have all commented on how nicely the work was done by D&L.
I would highly recommend D&L to anyone wanting to have a car restored. I was very impressed throughout the process of Louie’s knowledge of the specifics of a truck like mine and what was available versus how things were stock, etc. And like a previous reviewer said, I know there are hours of work that I didn’t always get billed for, they do this work because they love it and love the results… I think the money is a bonus.

Excellent Restoration Shop
I’ve had nothing but great service from D&L restoration.
My 1969 Nova was 60 percent rust, I contemplated giving up on the car all together…
D&L was able to bring it back, it need extensive metal work — welded in new floors, trunk, firewall patching, rear panels — the works.
I also had them put in a new fuel injected LS6 Corvette engine, drop suspension modifications, sub frame stabilizer, beautiful paint job… the list goes on.
Special thanks to owner Louie, he put in many extra hours on the side to get the car perfect!
Very high integrity owner and shop, highly recommend

In response to your reply to my initial review, I thank you now for apologizing, however I know what I heard –and nobody every called me back on day 4−6 – 10-​or 30. I work 50 hour plus weeks also, but your reply is just one long run on excuse. Sorry we could not conduct business together.
