The guys here are absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend them highly enough! If there were a way to give more than 5 stars I would. They were professional, friendly, transparent, trustworthy and knowledgeable.

Big shout out to Steve and the team at Pro Restoration! My VW Beetle recently had issues with the drivers door. Steve and his co worker ironed the problem out, but most unexpectedly Steve offered to fix other problems with the Bug at no extra cost. What a champion, and a true old school man of his word! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Great service from start to finish. I'd shopped around before finding Steve and the team and the level of service was like night and day! I felt taken seriously and my questions were welcomed. The repair work was completed to a high standard at a very reasonable price. Cant recommended highly enough. Thanks guys!
