About Us
Our story and team
Every car that comes through our doors has a story. Our job isn't just to restore metal and paint—it's to preserve those stories for the next chapter.
Growing up in a family of craftsmen, I learned early that true quality can never be rushed. My grandfather restored furniture; my father worked with metal. I fell in love with automobiles—the perfect marriage of art and engineering.
After eight years learning from the masters at Ferrari Maranello, I returned home with a dream: to create a place where every vehicle, regardless of its origin, would receive the same meticulous care as the world's finest machines.
Today, that dream lives on in every project we undertake. Not because we have to, but because we believe every owner deserves nothing less.
Three Decades of Excellence
From a small garage to a trusted name in automotive restoration
The Beginning
Founded in a small garage in Visoko with a passion for automotive excellence and a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
First Major Restoration
Completed our first complete vehicle restoration, establishing our reputation for meticulous attention to detail.
New Facility
Moved to our purpose-built workshop with climate-controlled paint booths and modern restoration equipment.
Regional Recognition
Earned certifications from leading European automotive brands and expanded our team of master craftsmen.
Continuing Excellence
Over 500 vehicles restored, a team of dedicated specialists, and a legacy of automotive artistry that continues to grow.
The Art of Restoration
We believe that restoration is more than repair—it's resurrection. Every dent tells a story, every layer of paint holds history. Our work honors that legacy while preparing these machines for decades more of life.
Our workshop combines old-world techniques with modern precision. We use the same hand-forming methods that shaped cars in the golden age, alongside computerized measuring systems that ensure perfect alignment to factory specifications.
This balance of tradition and technology is what sets our work apart. It's why collectors trust us with their most prized possessions, and why every vehicle that leaves our facility carries our reputation with it.
