Serving Langley and the Fraser Valley
Classic Car Restoration for Langley Owners
Rust repair, metalwork, bodywork, paint and full restoration for classic, collector and specialty vehicles, carried out at our Maple Ridge shop across the Golden Ears Bridge.
Restoration work for Langley classics
Plenty of good project cars sit in barns, shops and driveways around Langley and Aldergrove. Time spent outdoors or in an unheated building shows up as rust in the lower quarters, rockers, floors and trunk areas, often under filler and paint from a repair done years ago.
Work starts by finding out what is actually there. Rust is cut back to sound steel and repaired with shaped patch panels or fabricated sections. Where a panel is past saving, a replacement is fitted and adjusted until the body lines and gaps sit correctly, before any colour goes on.
The scope is set around your vehicle, from one repaired panel through to a long restoration carried through metal, bodywork, paint and final polishing.
Why Langley owners make the trip
Older vehicles need judgement rather than a standard repair procedure. Original panels, discontinued parts, previous restoration work and specialty finishes all change how a job should be approached, and that is the whole focus of this shop.
Maple Ridge sits directly north of Langley across the Golden Ears Bridge. If the vehicle is not road ready, enclosed transport can be arranged, including for projects that are partly disassembled.
ICBC approved repair work is available for eligible classic and specialty vehicles. Contact Black Cherry Autoworks to discuss your vehicle and claim.
