Vernon and the guys did a great job on my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS.
Fixed my Swiss cheese frame and fixed all my mechanical gremlins.
I highly recommend Gloucester Restoration to get your vehicle sorted in a very professional manner. Thanks Again Y'all !!

Stay away unless you have a mustang, and then probably stay away. They don’t know what they are doing with classic cars. Most everything I paid for had to be redone, and I eventually ended up taking my car to another shop to correct everything done by Gloucester Restorations. The car was returned in worse shape than they received it. Seriously don’t do it. They do not know classic cars. You would be better off taking your classic to MACCO for paint, and Jiffy Lube for mechanical. Don’t do it.
So Vern responds by bashing the customer. Ask him where he is taking your car to be repaired that he can’t do. His sub contracted shops won’t do business with him either.
Update: The paint that was corrected is starting to bubble after 3 months. The wing that was repaired and reinstalled was over tightened and pulled dents into the trunk since backing nuts were not used. The backing nuts were provided but Vern did not want to use them for fear of enlarging the holes in the trunk. The car is now at another shop having all of Gloucester Restorations mistakes corrected.
Update 10/25
The night before my car was to be picked up from Vern’s shop and taken back to my mechanic my car was spotted broken down at the local 7-11. The mechanic reported that the car was making noises from the rear when he drove it back from Vern’s to his shop. Come to find out the rear torsion/sway bar was snapped. Vern obviously took my car out for a joyride and dogged the snot out of it. From what I’ve heard now, it’s not the first time Vern dogs on customers cars.

I've had a lot of cars repaired in my 77 years, but I have never, ever had the pleasure of doing business with such a fine young man. Oh... and did I mention talented? Vernon is awesome. I really believe he can do anything related to cars. I had to have my windshield replaced, but I needed rust removal done He was on it and completed the job in a more than timely fashion. I cannot recommend him enough. I live more than 25 miles from him, but I will bring my truck to him for all my needs. He is trustworthy and just a darn nice person. If you have an issue with your car or truck... he will fix it and fix it correctly and won't rip you off. Thank you, Vernon... you are the very best.

I am just in awe and so thankful!!!🥲
I got my truck back from Gloucester Restoration today and I'm laughing because I should be crying. I spoke to the owner and his mechanic and BOTH of them gave me the run down.😬🫣☠️
My truck was in such horrible shape, they repeatedly said they were amazed I limped it in, much less been driving this as my daily driver. (Deathtrap was not used but I feel like it was synonomous)
I felt so bad, because I didnt even KNOW how bad it was.🫣🫣🫣 (I literally was working with 1 functioning brake, basically a bad bump away from my fuel line popping off, I had zero shocks, and they pulled 10 gallons of rust off my frame!
These guys went AbOVE and BEYOND to make sure I am now driving a safe, reliable, warranted vehicle. And I can't even express how grateful I am extra thanks for Vernon and the whole team there who worked on my sweet girl!🙏🙏🙏 You guys literally saved my life. Thank you so much! I'll definitly be back for the next round of workups!

I brought my 2005 Ford super duty to have a rust Repair done on the right side back cab area where it’s real common for them to rust out. I first talked to one of the staff members in the garage. He was super friendly, very accommodating and told me that the boss stepped out And to text him what I had and he would respond within 30 minutes I got a response he gave me a Price. They got my truck in within just a few days had it for just a couple of days and did a beautiful job And did extra work at no charge to make sure there wasn’t a future issue. The owner of the garage takes a lot of pride in his work. I Highly recommend this place and guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Needed some corrosion repair and paint work done on my Honda Accord. I can tell they have a passion for working on these vehicles. Reasonably priced. What I loved most was the communication on how my car was coming along. Even sent me videos of the progress. Corrosion repair is flawless as is the matching on the paint job. Highly recommend!

Vernon was easy to work with and went above and beyond to get the job done in time so my father-in-law could see his car before his passing. Vernon is a true craftsman. I wish there were more stars to give than 5.

Reccomended by good friends of mine. I took my truck there to get some painting done. Great experience. I like working with a fellow veteran. The work was as promised and a great match to my paint color. The work was performed in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The whole experience from start to finish was pleasant and professional. Thanks I look forward to doing future business with you.

I was referred to glouster restoration from a local car repair facility. My 1985 Nissan 300zx had the guide rail rusted out and the were holes in the floor boards. Vern gave me a price on the spot. I had the repairs completed and asked Vern to check everything that needed fixing on my 300zx so it would pass inspection. He showed me all the areas that required to be fixed to pass inspection (including 3 holes in the frame rusted through). I got a fair price to fix the 300zx. In addition, Vern found other issues and only charged me for the parts. My 1985 300zx has an inspection sticker sticker and drives unbelievable. I highly recommend glouster restoration for any welding and mechanical issues on your car. The prices are fair and Vern communicates constantly as to the status. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I was devastated when my mechanic said the frame on my Tundra was almost toast, rusted out pretty bad. I took her to Gloucester Restoration to see if there was Any way to save my truck. I was ecstatic when Vern said Yes he could fix it!! The team did an amazing job, the price was reasonable, and Vern even sent pictures as they progressed. My truck is back on the road and I couldn't be any happier with the job done! Thank you Vern, you saved Me and my truck!

I have owned my 1992 Chevy Silverado for 20 years. I have looked on and off for the past 10 years for a shop to do some mild restoration that I could afford. I didn't find anyone locally nor that would do a turnkey restoration. By a stroke of luck, my son mentioned that there's a restoration shop up the road and it looks like there's a bunch of cars in the back lot. I reached out via FB Messenger and Vern responded. He came to my house, reviewed the truck, discussed options and we agreed to a mild restoration. I made my deposit payment on Oct 31, 2024. Vern handled everything! I mean everything! Communication has been INCREDIBLE and Vern + his team far exceeded my expectations! Vern removed the bed and had the entire chasis blasted and then Vern coated it. The interior was stripped of headliner and carpet. After coating it, Vern's team installed a new headliner and floor covering. Let me mention, if I wanted to change or add something, all I had to do was message Vern on FB. As the project progressed, like any good customer, I started adding things to the project. New glass, led lights, dash skin, bumper, roll pan.....Vern replaced everything for me. I HAVE NOT TURNED A SINGLE WRENCH ON THIS PROJECT. VERN HANDLED EVERYTHING!!! Vern worked with his trusted sources and had my cam added, Holley Sniper EFI and ignition system, long tube headers, custom exhaust w/ X pipe muffler...the list goes on and on. We've encountered a couple problems and everything was handled efficiently and affordable. Of course our initial budget probably doubled, but, it was my decision. Vern never pressured my decision making and always gave his honest personal opinion. The pics below can speak for themselves. I will not discuss rates nor project financials, but I will tell you this build was extremely economical. 6 months later, I have a full restomod that matches my vision exactly. I can't say enough about Vern. He personally saved me twice when the truck wouldn't start during test drives. Both small issues. I have recommended several friends to Gloucester Restoration for rust repair and paint repair. I have thoroughly loved my experience with Vern and his shop. It has been a true pleasure and stroke of luck that I found a shop 2 miles from my house that made my dream a reality! I can say with heartfelt gratitude, THANK YOU VERN! I consider you a true friend and confidant! SLAINTE!
