Great experience! Joe detailed every time that needed to be addressed and made recommendations. I would trust V8 with may car of mine. 5 stars and two thumbs up.

I've had the privilege of working with the V8 Speed and Restoration Shop team a couple times on my 1968 Plymouth GTX. I appreciate the care they've taken, the communication they've shared, the fact that they have a retired MOPAR mechanic on staff and their commitment to doing quality work.

The personnel are all friendly, knowledgeable, and most of all honest. They have worked on 3 of my cars all with different problems and all were done, over and above my expectations.
