We offer a wide range of services from detailing to complete rebuilds!

Classic Car Auto Repair and Restoration

Classic cars are beautiful vehicles and you love yours.  But they need care and loving to keep them running as long as you would like, be it annual maintenance or some form of restoration. When you need to take care of your baby, Bernie’s is your best source for high-quality and affordable classic auto restoration in Seattle, WA.

With years of experience, our Mechanics provide an incredible attention to detail, plus odds are we’ve actually worked on a car like yours. Not many shops can provide the level of expertise that we do. Many of the classic cars we see have been around for over 60 years. But engines get worked hard and parts get worn down. If you like your hot rod looking beautiful and running smoothly, we’re the place to get it to the shape you want.

Exotics and custom cars are welcome at my shop. If you are unsure if I will be able to restore your vehicle, bring it in and I will check it out and assess the problem. We’ve been in business for over 57 years and bring the same quality today that we did in 1963.  Your hot rod, classic, or exotic car will get the best care at Bernie’s!
