I brought in my 71' Oldsmobile Cutlass with a 350 rocket for a frame on restoration. I was quoted $18,500 for the restoration with a time frame of 1 year. I had two new body panels for them to put on. After one year passed I was told more time was needed, and East Side Rides ended up asking for ~$30,000 in total. Another 2 years later, almost no work was done. They put on the body panels that I provided, but they were barely hanging on. I went around to many different local shops to find the right one. This shop claimed to believe in family values. How they handled the situation, and the end result was very disappointing. Avoid East Side Rides. I keep hearing other stories from people who have been screwed over by this shop, even years after this incident.

Don't Believe any good reviews for this place. They have a face to show you when you go in for work. Family owned, local, cut you a deal type business. Once you get your vehicle in though completely different story. They will give you an estimate that sounds nice but will continually ask for more money verbally and not include an increase to the statement. They will take all the money they can from you and do the most minimal amount of work they can get away with. I'm sure more than one customer has left East Side Rides the same way I have. A car with little to no work done and multiple of thousands taken. Do not trust these people they will steal the money that funds your dream car.

Where to start. East Side Rides is a family owned and operated company. Randy and Lisa I have known for many years, so when I went looking for a classic I knew just who to call. Not only did they find a rare gem “flower girl” they even took time to drive to New Jersey and bring her back to Virginia on there flat bed. Strong beautiful rims and white wall tires she is a beauty. They have made sure that I was kept up to date every step of the way...... If you want to be treated fairly they are the ones for you.

East side rides, is a great family owned business. I got some body work done on my 64 mustang and they were very professional and gave me a fair price. The owners were honest and transparent with cost estimates and the final price.

Randy and his team at East Side Rides did a fantastic job removing the rust and road grime from the frame and under carriage of my 1993 Ford F-350 and then finishing it with a show quality undercoating and paint on my exhaust system. All work to my truck was completed in the time promised (3 weeks) and at the price we agreed upon (no changes). Highly recommend East Side Rides for high quality affordable automotive restoration services

I am on my second restoration project with East Side Rides. The team takes pride and care in their work. I was completely satisfied with the first project East Side Rides completed for me, I gave them the job on my second restoration. They are very up front on the work that needs to be done to do a First Class job, and that is what I received, a First Class job.

Asked Randy and Lisa if they could assist with my '79 Beetle Convertible. It had not run in 7 years, being in government storage for 3 years, then sent to me in Italy for 3.5 years. Tried five different Italian mechanics over that time and all seemed to make the problem worse. It would not run for more that 3 minutes and was undriveable. Tried another mechanic in VB and it sat for 18 months on his lot. Randy took the challenge and Bug was running in two months, passed inspection and back in service. Quality and professional work.

Terrible, rip off, thief, liar, drains customers of their life savings and retirement before he ever delivers a finished product. Promises weekly that the work will be done but it never is and always has an excuse to ask for more money. He's had my family member's car for over 3 years and has went over the signed estimate by thousands and thousands of dollars. He never takes phone calls only communicates by text if he decides to communicate at all. THIEF!!!

Any of the good review you read about this place are most likely from friends,family or employees of the owner.. all the bad reviews are dead on accurate, DO NOT HAVE EAST SIDE RIDES RESTORE YOUR CAR!!!! They will bleed you dry, they will keep asking for more and more money, the will give you delivery dates dates and keep pushing the finish time further and further out.. your car will be tied up for years, they will scew you for tens of thousands of dollars.. you've been warned.
