    The El Camino before service (the front suspension was too low, Manny fixed it)
    Balázs B.

    Manny worked on my '77 El Camino and did everything I wanted in great quality plus drew my attention to a couple of items that will require attention. I never felt any pressure to order more than I felt necessary or comfortable; he always kept me in the driver seat, but advised against costly mistakes (e.g. an unnecessary big block swap). His work style is intense, so be prepared to answer his calls as a priority, so that the work gets done surprisingly fast (but never rushed). Overall I'm looking forward to working with him again soon.

    Mr. Manny is very knowledgeable and works ethically. He patiently guided me through the right course of action to get my late husband's 64 SS back to showcase condition. It was very refreshing to get good solid advice without any sales gimmicks. Mr. Manny has a true passion for classic cars and I look forward to the day that I can go to him with a future project.

    My story is simple. I bought a car from an ebay auction unaware of the problems. I don't know much about engines or transmissions, but I dreamed of a classic American car. And I got it. This is an AMC Ambassador 1967. Then I realized what a mistake I made, because this is a rather rare car and it is a big problem to repair it, contacting several senvises and spending a couple of thousand dollars, I settled down, because no one could do anything, but only spoiled it. I am, completely losing hope, I sent another request to Yelp and received several answers, but what surprised me, the Manny's answer. He did not give an estimate online and did not try to sell me something, he said that we need to talk, because he has questions. I left him my number and he called me back, his first words were that he would not take on a project if he was not sure of the result, this is very cool. He asked me a lot of questions and at the end he confirmed that he was ready to take on this project. I was delighted, plus the photo archive of Manny's Classic Auto Restorations was very impressive. And so I brought him a car, we took a ride, talked personally, Manny explained all the steps to me and I agreed to everything and was right. Within two days, Manny sent me the first estimate with a full description and photos. I confirmed and he started working, constantly sending me updates. Unfortunately my "new" car had a lot of problems, but I was already ready for it. After he finished the first stage, he moved on to the engine. He immediately warned me that the engine was in poor condition and we decided to upgrade it. Manny took care of it completely, removing the engine and sending it to the bulkhead and paint. Also sending me a photo and video report. Then it was time for the transmission, which was poorly repaired in the previous service, but here again Manny did everything on A +. The last stage was the suspension, which no one touched for 55 years and Manny replaced it completely, also welded all the holes in the bottom, replacing the plates. In addition to this, he did a lot of small details, put a new carpet, hemmed the seats, put new door and roof gaskets, and so on. Unfortunately there are some surprises during repairs, but that's normal, an old car, but Manny first explains all the risks and only then starts to do something. Most importantly, he double-checked everything several times and if he didn't like something, he redid everything, it's very professional and I appreciate it. In the end, when everything was ready, I returned and before leaving Manny spent an hour to explain and show me everything, as well as give a lot of useful tips. I am very happy, Manny made my dream come true, I got a classic American car. I am very grateful. I advise all classic car lovers Manny's Classic Auto Restorations, this is the man who will take care of your car completely and in the end you will have what you want. Thank you Manny, thank you bro!!!!

The first word that comes to mind is FAMILY when I think of Rudy and the crew. As cliche as that sounds, it's evident from the moment one walks in the front door. A gentleman in line hollered with excitement as he picked up his car. I did the same a few days later after RP Studios completed the impossible. The customer service, dedication to ensure an excellent finished product, speediness and all-around vibes in the shop are second to none. As the owner of a project car, I've been in a number of shops up and down California but truly none left me as impressed as Rudy and the Crew. The work, care and pricing are UNMATCHED! Visit for all of your collision needs - even if it's a bit out of your way. It's worth it!

    I cannot recommend RP Paint Studios & Collision enough! My experience started with an online…read morerequest that was answered within an hour--I had an appointment for an estimate before my insurance company even called me back. Rudy is incredibly knowledgeable. He actually got under the hood and the chassis, identifying potential hidden issues that might arise during a full tear-down. Because of his thoroughness, I knew exactly what the repair should cost. When the "AI insurance estimate" finally arrived, I had the confidence to push back immediately because I knew I was being low-balled. The communication of RP & Co was world-class; Nancy called me every few days to keep me updated on the progress so I was never left wondering. As for the work on my Tacoma, the front-end repair and paint matching are flawless. They went above and beyond by fixing a broken antenna and discovering damaged headlight wiring I didn't even know was there. To top it off, they returned the truck fully detailed. In a world of automated estimates, Rudy, Nancy, and the crew provide real-world expertise and elite craftsmanship. They are the best in Murrieta, hands down!
