I recently purchased a 1965 MGB from Its Alive. The buying experience was 100% solid. Mike Dyer is not a “car salesman,”rather he’s an extremely knowledgeable and transparent partner to work with. The IAA facility is top notch. I can’t say enough about how seriously these folks take Customer Care. If you’re looking for a classic car to purchase or get full-scale restoration services, I encourage you to choose the team at Its Alive Automotive! I’m glad I did.

I recently purchased a European vehicle from It's Alive! Automotive and Mr Mike Dyer was the salesman. My experience with the dealer was so great and wonderful. Mike was so considerate and willing to help he provided a virtual tour of 1967 Citroen and went over the details. He contacted the owner several times to make sure I had all the necessary information. I also want to thank him for the delivery of the vehicle to my house in Florida it was flawless. I’m sure he will treat all his customers the same way. Thank you Mike for the wonderful service. God bless you.

I can’t say enough good things about It’s Alive Automotive! Mike and his team went above and beyond to make our transaction and the transport of the vehicle as easy as possible and he did it in the freezing cold with a gracious attitude. Thanks Mike! I highly recommend this company!

I had a broken and warped dash top in my TR6. I bought a replacement cover from Moss Motors. Then I began learning that the windshield has to come off. That includes taking off window to windshield seal and fuzzy door seal. Glove box out. Vents off. Wood dash face and metal sub dash loosened. Scrape off old dash and clean residue. Glue down new pad. Trim and tuck in all edges appropriately.Then...Replace windscreen vents. New seal under windshield. Reinstall windshield (windshield and frame unit). Reinstall sub dash, wood dash, glove box, windshield wipers, window-to-windshield seal (new seal), and new fuzzy door seal.I am perfectly capable of learning and doing all this. But I knew it would take me (and maybe a friend for a helping hand) a couple of weeks to do it. So I talked to Jeff (proprietor of It's Alive) and he suggested his ace interior guy, Kyle, could get it done much quicker. I showed up with my car at 8 in the morning. And in one day everything was beautifully together as shown in the attached photo!Having the right person who knows how to do the job, and has all the right tools and facilities is priceless.Thank you Jeff.Thank you Kyle.YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

I had issues with modifications I’d made to my Morgan and they addressed them satisfactorily.

I am restoring my own car but needed help with getting chrome work done. Jeff and his team did the repair work on the pieces and handled sourcing the chrome work. They were very particular which required staying on top of the chrome supplier to make sure the job was done right, and that shows in the final product. They have a great facility with lots of fine British metal in house. I'm sure I will be back with more work.

Let me start by saying that this is not the place to go for a quick oil change. They are extremely busy.There is a $125 pre-inspection, and $187.50 post inspection and shakedown for services. Your vehicle is filmed when received by IAA, and when returned by IAA, noting any issues. There are many expensive cars there, each worth hundreds of thousands. This protects all parties, and is explained before you put your car in for service.I had multiple items repaired on my original 1964 chevelle malibu convertible. And my car was returned cleaner than when I dropped it off. Their service manager is great to work with giving you the details of the repair, and answering your questions. Julie, the business manager explained the pre and post inspections, and took care of the paperwork. Jeff made me feel like I was part of a family, rather than a customer, he takes an interest in each car in his shop. Jeff is honest, and I can't give a higher compliment.

Outstanding work and easy to work with. I have had the occasion to use Jeff and his team at It's Alive a few times and with each time it was a great experience. I like to do the work on my Triumphs, but I am still a novice so for certain things I need help. My latest project was to repair and reinforce the differential mounts for my 73 TR6. Jeff's team replaced one mount entirely and reinforced both front Diff Mounts. They welded them in place and prepped/painted them to a point that they looked factory done. The price was reasonable and the work was done in a day.I would not hesitate to take any of my cars to Jeff and his team at It's Alive

I had my 1963 Jaguar XKE inspected by Jeff Homsher at It’s Alive and he did a wonderful job. I shipped the car to my home in San Diego and when I had questions or concerns he immediately called back to help and give advice. Great service. I can’t recommend him enough..!!!

I'm a first time customer. This place is awesome! Very professional. Facilities are excellent. Their ability to fix anything and everything to bring your car back to life is excellent. They are truly a one stop shop for all your needs. They fixed an idling issue on my 1969 Jag XKE that had been plaguing me off and on for the last 3 years. They did a butt joint paint repair on the bonnet that is totally invisible. They are very thorough in what they do. They are very transparent in providing information, whether it be good or bad news. The statements of work to be done in their estimates is very detailed. Jeff and Julie are the best to work with. Very personable. If you're in doubt, let them give you a tour and discuss your needs like I did. I will definitely return for any future work on my car. My experience with this shop was nothing but excellent. Very refreshing compared to past experiences with other shops.

Jeff and his team are artisans as much as they are restoration specialists. The detail, professionalism, responsiveness, and results are absolutely A1. I would highly recommend his services for your British sports car (mine was a TR 250). I am in Washington DC, and the geographic distance was no problem for communication or delivery. Great bunch of guys and ladies as well!

Great people to work with! Purchased a 1965 Austin-Healy Sprite project car sight unseen. The car was just as described - they even pointed out a few issues that were significant but not obvious to make sure I understood what I was, and more importantly, was not getting. They also coordinated the delivery so all I had to do was accept the car and pay the driver. Mike and the staff were very professional and responsive to all my needs and concerns. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

I had a self-induced issue with my ignition system that would not allow the car to start. Jeff spent a good amount of diagnostic time over the phone trying to help me figure it out. I attempted his suggestions, but was unsuccessful. Had the car towed to the shop and he quickly fixed it himself. I must have messed the point gap by just touching them.Thanks Jeff!As the shop name says: It's Alive!

I recently had numerous services performed on my 2002 Jaguar XJ8 including body work, mechanical work, dash gauge lights replacement, complete interior and exterior detailing, plus quite a bit more. There is nothing that It's Alive Automotive can't do, and they do it all to absolute perfection!The entire staff is extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. I primarily dealt with Julie (office manager), Matt (detailing) and Kyle (mechanical) as well as with Jeff (the owner) who made sure that I was completely satisfied.Julie kept me fully informed throughout the the entire process and kindly answered all of my many questions. Kyle and his team of mechanics easily tackled some complicated issues. Matt's detailing work is nothing short of magical. He is truly an artist!My car now runs and looks better than when it came off of the showroom floor! To say that I'm pleased would be a gross understatement. All of my expectations were greatly exceeded.I wish I could give It's Alive Automotive a higher rating. In lieu of that, I've given Julie permission to provide my contact information to anyone seeking more details regarding my amazing experience.

Two stars based on lack of communication. Sent emails and left messages. No one wants to answer the phone or respond to messages. I had a friend who recommended these guys for work done about 5 years ago. I guess they don't need the business....
