Types of Auto Restoration Services We Offer
At Carolina Kustoms, we offer a range of restoration services to match your car’s condition, your vision, and your budget. From full rebuilds to smaller touch-ups, our team will guide you through what’s best for your vehicle.
Full Restoration
A top-to-bottom rebuild. We strip the car to its bare frame, repair or replace every component, and reassemble it like new. Ideal for show cars and collector-grade classics.
Partial Restoration
Focused updates for cars in decent shape. This might include bodywork, mechanical repairs, or interior upgrades while leaving other parts intact.
Mechanical Restoration
We restore or upgrade the drivetrain, engine, brakes, and suspension, improving performance and reliability without changing the vehicle’s look.
Interior Restoration
Custom upholstery, dash restoration, carpet replacement, and more. We make the inside of your car look and feel brand new.

Rust repair, body straightening, and flawless paint jobs, from factory-correct to custom finishes that turn heads.
