Original Type Restorations, With a Little Common Sense
Atlanta Auto Restoration is an owner-led shop in Hampton, Georgia. We bring antique, classic and muscle cars back to the way they left the factory, and add a few sensible upgrades, like better brakes, only if you want them. Your car is probably older than most of our tools. We treat it with more respect.
In the Trade Since 1986
Owner Mark Engel has spent decades with his hands on classic cars, backed by a team with over a century of combined experience.
Monthly Billing on Big Projects
Restorations take time. Paying for one can, too. Large projects can be billed monthly.

Restoration Services Under One Roof
Disassembly & Assembly
Every nut, bolt and bracket documented on the way apart and put back exactly where it belongs.
Sheetmetal & Body Work
Rust repair and panel work that fixes what time and Georgia humidity left behind.
Paint & Refinishing
Original lacquer, basecoat/clearcoat or urethane topcoats, applied over bodywork done right.
Suspension & Brakes
Correct rebuilds, plus brake upgrades for today’s traffic if you want them.
Mechanical Restoration
Engine, transmission and drivetrain brought back to good health.
Electrical
Troubleshooting and rewiring, because nobody enjoys a gauge that only works on Tuesdays.
BeforeAfterSpotlight: Paint & Refinishing
A good paint job starts long before the first coat, with bare metal, straight panels and a lot of sanding nobody ever photographs. We refinish in original lacquer for owners who want it period-correct, and in basecoat/clearcoat or urethane for a finish that stands up to real driving. The goal is the same either way: a car that looks right from ten feet and even better from two.
