First of all, the final bill exceeded the original quote by 80%. There were some things not working when I took home , had to take a second time .my installed new dash is not installed straight and noted some missing parts. I learned a lesson of hand shaking. No more. I told the guy there of my concerns and waited to see there reply. Never called back .

I had just seen your shop on storage wars 1/9/2023 your shop is very impressive from my point of view I myself would not know where to start with a total rebuild of a classic car or truck. But man! I only wish I had grown up with a group like youz. ๐บ๐ธ

Having watched a friend of mine struggle through a custom build with these folks, I am astonished to see all of the positive reviews this shop gets. Frank (a prior review) mentions some good advice about handshakes. Getting everything in writing would be prudent with these folks.

I've had classic cars all my life and have never found a more knowledgeable and honest operation than D&P Classics. Darryl and his team are friendly, fast and know more about classics than anyone I've ever met. I go out of my way to refer them to anyone with a classic. I'll never go anywhere else.

Went in for an aluminum radiator installation in my Buick GS. Made a point of asking them to keep and return my original date-coded radiator. On pick up was told "sorry, we threw it away." Still bitter after all these years. Also was upsold on their GPS anti-theft system. Will never go back 1957 210 2-door sedan 1967 Buick GS 400 1967 Cadillac Eldorado 1968 Camaro

Chip Foose referred me to these guys, I have a 69 camaro that something just wasnโt right with the tear end. I wanted to change things up As well. I made an appointment with Patrick, and after takeing in the information, Patrick drew up a plan and called me with an estimate. We agreed and he got started on my car. Came back beautiful. The guys and the girl kept in contact with me and made the experience pleasurable. Thank you guys. Couldent be happier. And look forward to be working with you again. Jim Carocci

I have a 1957 Chevrolet that was involved in a collision recently. My insurance company wanted to provide coverage which was not adequate. The folks at D & P were able to work with my insurance adjuster to secure a fair and equitable settlement. My car was repaired, reassembled and repainted to perfection. The repair was completed in one week. The paint match and panel fit was perfect. I highly recommend this company. Gary Howard, Director Orange County Region Vintage Chevrolet Club of America

After spending thousands of dollars at another shop receiving bad advice and poor quality of work I found D & P Classic Chevy and happy I did. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them! The knowledge, quality of work and customer service you receive from the team is best in class. They are honest and get the job done right! I will not be taking my Chevelle to any other shop and I highly recommend D & P Classic Chevy to anyone with a classic car. You will be very happy.

I was recently introduced to the DP Classics Team after deciding to do an upgrade to my 69 Camaro interior, sound system and a few other items on a never ending list. My initial intro was talking with Nick and Darryl, which led me to making the decision to bring my Camaro to them for the work based on their knowledge, friendliness, and passion for classic car restoration and modification. When I arrived, I was met by Pat. Once again I was instantly pleased with their obvious passion for classic cars, knowledge, and true interest in listening and offering their experience to help you reach the ultimate results. During the process of removing, and installing the entire new interior, sound system upgrade, r&r an original rear window defogger as well as check out a number of other things that came up along the way, not to mention regular communication to suggest items to better complete my vision ( custom door handles and window cranks, premium carpet and sound material under carpet, upgraded seatbelts) etc., all of which made a big difference in the end result. When the time came to pick up my Camaro, Darryl called and went through everything and we arranged a day and time. When I arrived, the car was out front, shiny clean, the whole team that worked on different parts of the car all spent a few minutes telling me about their part and going over little details. I fired her up and took it for a drive to see how it felt ( they did a tune and oil change and test drive/diagnostic at my request ) and drove and was very happy with everything that was done. I have to say Iโm not easy to please and very picky about my things and it seems harder to find services today that treat things as if it were their prized possession. In closing, not only have I found a great Team that truly loves what they do and cares about their service, but I feel Iโve found a group I hope to visit and plan future projects with for years to come !

Brought in my 75 Maverick for some much needed work. Nick and Pat got me and running and now the car is much easier to drive. Iโll be using then moving forward on my future projects, definitely recommend them. Their support staff is also very friendly.

I have a 1957 Chevy with Corvette engine & Corvette suspension. I made a mistake by not going with DP Classics in the first place. I had issues that needed to be resolved. Darrel and his sons, Nick and Patrick explained how the issues can be corrected. I was given an itemized estimate with a timeline. Much to my surprise everything went smoothly and in a timely manner. I highly recommend DP Classics, they are personable, professional and knowledgeable.

This place is phenomenal. First off, I donโt leave reviews, but hard not to leave a review for such an excellent experience. I have a vintage Bronco and theyโve serviced it exceptionally 3 different times. Theyโve literally fixed EVERYTHING and even put a nice interior carpet that looks epic. Iโd recommend this spot to anyone with a vintage car thatโs wants the absolute best service and people with experience. Thanks D&P!

Purchased a โ68 Camaro Convertible and immediately wanted to upgrade some things. Decided on DP Classics and very please. Nick and Pat were phenomenal to work with. Understood my desires, but also made some good suggestions based on their experiences. The shop is family run and started by their dad, 44 years ago. The passion for the work and customer service were evident the entire way. See you guys soon for a transmission and interior upgrade.

Great people/can fix any classic or mod/totally trust D&P; I have a 68 GTO and 65 Impala SS396 - both original but the Impala is a one in million car, being my dad's first car, then found 25 years later. He got it back and had a few local places do service, all way below what this car deserved. D&P has taken care of it for the last 5 years, and has it running perfect. They even knew the only place back east who could make disc brakes, to fit in the stock 14 inch front wheels, and are not visible behind the hubcaps. Highly recommend and trust them!

I inherited a `56 Belair from my father. It was nice build, but had aged. Nick, Pat, and the team brought her back to life and took my hotrod to the next.level. New polished radiator with dual electric fans, new wiring harness, custom center console with modern tpuchscreen stereo, new tires white letters out, fixed the digital dash and repaired all the small stuff too. The car was detailed and ready to show. These guys know hotrods and especially tri-fives. Very satisfied with the value and the delivery, just in time for the show. ~Robert Nace (Aerospace Engineer)
