Took my BMW down and had someone look over it. Told me they would get a cost for the work that needed doing. No one called me back. Tried calling 4 times to get a cost with no one returning my calls. When I did get through the gentleman who saw the car he couldn't remember what work that needed doing. Really poor customer service and bad organisation. Such a shame as they came recommend.

My M3 needed some attention to both rear wheel arches due to rust. This involved removing the affected metal and fabricating new panels. The rear quarter panels were painted to blend in with the rest of the car. There were also areas of wear to the front seats and arm rest, this was repaired and the leather recoloured to match. Throughout the whole process I was kept up to date and invited over to discuss the work already done and go through the work required to complete the job. The standard of work was excellent and everyone was very friendly and professional.

I cannot recommend Jonathan and the team at CCCR highly enough. While my little old car looked a bit out of place amongst the Aston Martins and Bentleys, the service I received was exceptional. I had some mechanical repairs done, some small modifications, and some rust repaired, and all work was done to a very high standard. Furthermore, I was kept informed at every stage along the way, and was frequently invited to observe the work being done. I would urge anyone to consider CCCR for any work on their classic car.

The team at Cotswold Classic Car restorations are brilliant! They did a cracking job on my XK150 and Porsche 356B. Their attention to detail is fantastic, no problem too big or small. Terrific craftsmanship.

CCCR sorted out a few bits and pieces on my 1964 MGB. They were brilliant - expert, knowledgeable, super helpful, efficient and provided a great, friendly customer service. Will be using them for the inevitable regular fixes from now on.
