Collector consulting
The expensive mistakes in this hobby happen in the same three places. You buy the wrong car. You restore the wrong things on a good car. Or you write a check for work that should have cost half of what the shop quoted.
Ken has been on both sides of 1,200 of these deals, and he'll walk through yours with you before the money moves.
Send the listing, the photos and the VIN. Ken tells you what he'd pay, what he'd want to see underneath it, and whether the story the seller is telling holds together. One car, one call.
You've got the car and a list of everything you want done to it. Ken will tell you what to fix, what to leave alone, and where the money stops coming back. Most people leave this call with a shorter list and more car.
Send the estimate. Ken knows what the work should cost in Texas, and he knows what a shop charges when it thinks you don't know any better.
Ken won't consult on a car Auto Collectors Garage is selling, and if you ask him about one of ours, he'll point you to somebody independent.
Call or book below. If Ken's out in the shop, Kathy will get you on the calendar.
Pick the service, send the listing or estimate, and Ken will reply within one business day to schedule a call.
