Classic Car Service & Restoration
Vero Beach's home for vintage and collectible vehicle care — handled by someone who truly loves these cars.
Not every mechanic can work on a classic. It takes a different kind of knowledge — understanding original specifications, sourcing correct parts, knowing which modern upgrades help and which ones hurt the car's authenticity and value. Tim Brittain has spent decades developing that knowledge, and it shows in every classic vehicle he touches.
1954 Corvette & 1957 Ford Thunderbird
Two of the most iconic American cars ever built — and Tim has worked on both. The '54 Corvette is one of just 3,640 ever made in its first model year. The '57 Thunderbird is a masterpiece of late-1950s design with wire spoke wheels and that unmistakable baby-blue paint.
Both vehicles require specialized knowledge. Fuel systems, carburetors, and ignition systems from this era have unique quirks and failure modes that a modern technician simply won't know about. Tim does.
