CARS is a full service automotive customization and restoration business. I’ve had a number of personalization services to my Tesla Model 3 performed here including paint protection, chrome delete, window tint, painted brake calipers and painted wheels. I have also had wheel “curb rash” repaired. Separately, CARS is also finishing a rest-mod of my 1969 Camaro.

I purchased a low mileage 2003 Porsche Carrera that was in pristine shape both from a mechanical and appearance perspective. There was one flaw though, a chip on the left front fender. Having some experience with finish restorations I set to work to repair the chip. The paint color is Meridian Silver. It is a somewhat rare paint color for the 911 and to my frustration, neither of two of the largest “touch up paint” companies out there came anywhere near a match. If you have ever dealt with painting a silver car you know that matching the exact hue of sliver isn’t easy especially when you factor in the paint has been exposed to the elements for some 18 years. I was very frustrated that I couldn’t get the otherwise flawless car 100%. I also knew that taking it to a collision body shop would result in a good paint job but most likely a bad paint match making the one fender stand out as obviously repainted and less than desirable in the collector/resale market. After considerable due diligence, I came upon John at Cars of Bellevue. In this World of online critical reviews, his shop stood out from the rest. It was clear this was a custom car refinisher. I took my car to the shop hoping for the best. John not only provided assurances that he could match the color but also provided a reasonable price and a quick turnaround. The finished result was above my expectations, a flawless and perfectly matched finish. John is knowledgeable and professional as well as just a great person to business with. I already have another paint project I will have him work on for me and would recommend him highly to those who seek perfection at a reasonable cost. Thanks, John for your great work on my Porsche!!

What a great experience! I went in to get a bumper edge put back in alignment because someone had bumped into me. Jon told me I needed to replace a broken bracket. I brought in a new bracket and he installed it for free. He buffed out the small scratches as well. He was kind, he told me exactly what I needed to do to repair the damage without emptying out my wallet, and did it for free because it "only took a couple of minutes." It's nice to know there are still benevolent people out there. And my car looks great. I'll be back when I need car care. Thanks.
