Restoration of any classic car takes time, dedication and craftsmanship. At Car Barn Beamish we handle the restorations of a wide range of classic cars, and with our facilities on-site we offer award-winning restoration services for the finest cars in the North East. Supported by our sister company Aston Workshop (marque specialists with nearly 40 years of experience) we handle everything from subtle recommissioning to full restorations, and all of the work is carried out here at Car Barn Beamish.
Our restoration options are wide ranging allowing the team here at Car Barn Beamish to provide the specific service that’s right for your car. Sympathetic restorations aim to subtly bring the condition of the car back to its former glory without sacrificing originality or carrying out major reconstruction work; for example, owners often find it desirable to keep the original interior patina rather than going for an as-new look. At the other end of the scale a body-off full restoration takes a ‘nut and bolt’ approach, building in a level of craftsmanship and quality surpassing even original factory levels. Whatever option is chosen our dedicated team focus on producing the finest classic car for its owner.
What sets Car Barn Beamish apart from other restoration specialists is our all-encompassing approach enabled by the extensive facilities at our disposal. By ensuring as much work as possible is done here at our County Durham complex, we can carefully monitor and control the complete restoration process allowing us to take full accountability for the quality of work from start to finish. Cars are initially stripped and assessed in our workshop before each constituent part moves to the appropriate area of our facility. Our engineering team take ownership of powertrain development which can range from relatively simple engine tuning to full rebuilds, interior parts are looked after by our trim shop while the remaining body and chassis move to our body repair and paint centre to return them to better-than-new state.
