Several years ago I bought my dream car: a 1941 Packard One-Twenty. She is a beauty but, as I quickly learned when I attempted to drive her home, she didn’t like driving more than 10 miles and would lose power and shut down. I took her to a few mechanics but they couldn’t figure out what the issue was. I was resigned to taking her on local drives around my neighborhood until someone suggested that I call Horsepower. The office staff and mechanics were a pleasure to work with. Their experiences and knowledgeable staff diagnosed and fixed the issue which had stumped other repair shops and then extensively tested the car to ensure that it ran smoothly for me all for a price that didn’t break the bank! I am thrilled to be able to take my dream car on local and longer distance drives with confidence knowing that she has been professionally gone over and tested. Even though Horsepower isn’t close to my home I am happy to make the drive and it is now the only shop where I take my Packard!

Recently had an opportunity to visit this outstanding restoration and consignment automotive shop. The shop is impeccably clean and organized. They had cars there for concourse level restoration, for specialized upgrades and for exacting detailing. It is obvious that they treat each car in their care as a guest. They have plans to open this shop to the public for prescheduled tours. Found this option on their website. If you love cars and are in the area, it is a unique opportunity.

I brought my 1951 Chevrolet 6400 truck to Horsepower Enterprises to have the engine rebuilt. Their service was great, the work perfomed was very high quality, their communication was very good as well. The truck runs better now than I have ever had it run in the 10 years since it's been restored. While the truck was in the shop, they noticed the brakes needed some attention, let me know about those issues and repaired them while it was there too. If you have a classic vehicle of any type that needs any work, I would definitely recommend having them perform the work!

Peter, Mike and team were absolutely terrific. They were extremely customer centric; explaining what needed to be done on my MG and were very flexible on when I could pick up the car. Not to mention that they were a terrific value.

I had an excellent experience with horsepower. I am out of state and John agreed to go to the Mecum auction and look over 3 or 4 cars that I was interested in. After his onsite inspection we bid on two and bought one. The car was in great shape but we first took it to horsepower for a drive and closer inspection. John and the team identified 8 or 10 small items and were able to fit in the shop time to address it and in a couple of weeks the car was out the door and headed to me. Just great service and communication all around. The best buying experience I have had. I look forward to the auction next year.

Horsepower is the ONLY place in town I will take my Mustang! Their work is of the highest caliber, and they are honest & fair. They even found where water had been welling up under my Mustang when other mechanics said it was my fuel!🤦‍♀️They are the BEST!

My wife Cari and I purchased this very nice 1956 Golden Hawk through Horsepower 2 weeks ago. J.P. and Peter were most helpful in showing us the car, setting up a lift inspection and test drive. They answered each question we had, contacting the seller for clarification on some items. Peter handled the transfer of ownership documents from an out of state seller flawlessly. There was no hype or high pressure and no glossing over of details or concerns. I did some minor adjustments to the engine and carburetor in preparation of a road trip. Here is the Hawk in the middle of a 500+ mile shakedown cruise through the Virginia Piedmonts. We only lifted the hood to check fluids at fuel stops. As the car was advertised, it is a solid driver, not just great paint, chrome and upholstery. This is the best car buying experience I have had in the 42 years I have been driving. We give Horsepower and their professional crew the very highest rating. Chuck and Cari Zirkel

We took a guided tour of horsepower and it was very cool! Their small showroom and large shop have an authentic old school vibe that I really dug. I would love to work in a shop like that.

The crew at Horsepower Enterprises was fantastic to work with and did great work. Gil and Randy worked together to make sure they understood my needs and to make sure I understood how they were going to tackle my project. When all was said and done, my truck was running like a champ, and I couldn’t have been happier.

I had to take my '61 Austin Healey in recently for a fuel pump replacement. In addition, I have routinely had issues with cold starts with my Healey. Mike replaced the fuel pump and also did a thorough check of the entire fuel system. As it turns out, Mike identified an issue with a fuel line between two of the three SU carbs and he also discovered that the fuel flow among all three SUs was not uniform. Mike replaced the carb needles, cleaned the bowls and replaced the fuel line in addition to the new fuel pump. I can honestly say that my Healey is now running better than it ever has. It has more power and runs very well. And now, cold starts are a snap. It kicks over immediately. The guys at Horsepower do a great job! Furthermore, Mike understands SU carbs. 11/20/2025: The driving season has come to an end. My '61 Healey ran great all season thanks to the folks at Horsepower. Mike did a fabulous job on the SU carbs rebuild. It's been fun to drive.

Pete and the team were flexible with scheduling as the winter weather caused me to reschedule my appointment for a week later. Pete took time to share some of the projects they were currently working on. My car was in for a safety review (basic checkup) on all mechanicals and address a few minor issues such as dash lights out, horn not working, leak from the automatic transmission hoses. Gill called with an update on what was completed, what they found and what needed to be addressed. Everything was completed in a timely manner and at a price that I thought was fair. I received a detailed invoice listing all the items, the time spent and the hourly rate and/or cost for the parts. Based on my experience, their customer service, detailed communication and flexibility, I would highly recommend entrusting your pride and joy with Horsepower Enterprises.

This past summer, I reached out to Horsepower Enterprises regarding the restoration of my 1982 Jeep Scrambler. At the end of the 5 month period, I was impressed with not only the quality of their work, but with the restoration process, as well. They kept me informed of each discovery as they began their work. As with any restoration process, there can be many unexpected discoveries as the vehicle is disassembled. With each issue that surfaced, they invited me to the shop to see what they discovered and gave me the cost and timing for two or three options on how to address it. They provided the pros and cons of each option and, based on my ultimate objective, a remediation action was agreed to and taken. Although several of the Horsepower Team Members contributed to the restoration, Ian was the mechanic that performed the vast majority of the work on my vehicle. His attention to detail and responsiveness were extraordinary. If I were to undertake another restoration project, I would definitely use Horsepower Enterprises.

These folks will treat your car like their own. And they can do regular service on everyday drivers too. They got my 1972 Datsun back on the road.

The team at Horsepower did the full restoration of my 1974 Firebird and despite supply chain issues completed the restoration in 2 years and 9 months. Everyone was very professional and asked the correct questions to ensure the restoration was exactly what I wanted. I am extremely pleased with the work that was performed and the finished product shows the attention to detail as well as the quality of the restoration. The entire Horsepower team deserves and earned my gratitude for a job well done.

Horsepower diagnosed my husband's 1970 Corvette and replaced the carburetor and other necessary parts. After two supposedly "reputable" shops failed to correct the problems, Horsepower really delivered!! Everyone was very friendly & knowledgeable. Special thanks to Mike, their expert mechanic. And thanks to John, their salesman, who we met first. He gladly spent his time answering all of our questions. Great place. We highly recommend Horsepower!
