RW Auto Classics:
I have had the fortunate good luck and pleasure of stumbling into finding an amazing gem of a vintage car restoration RW Auto Classics and owner Jesse Rumen. I have an MGBGT that I have been searching for a couple of years for someone to support me in my restoration efforts of my GT, Jesse and his team are amazing and so passionate about their work.
I have found it to be exceedingly difficult to find people who will one work on old British cars let alone who are competent and have capacity to support enthusiast in their effort to restore and repair their classic cars My searches over the last three years, have resulted in being placed on waiting list for 2-3 years, which may or may not happen depending on if the shops continue to be in business or the owner is still physically able to do the work..
When I first met Jesse and his partner, Matt, I was so impressed by their enthusiasm, willingness to set up realistic goals of restoration with benchmarks, estimates of cost at each phase or the restoration work. It was so apparent in our interaction that they really care about their customers and their cars. Jesse offered an opportunity to tour their shop and so I could see firsthand the amazing high-quality work they produce prior to starting the assessment of my car. I have consistently found Jesse to be so enthusiastic about the car culture, creating a family atmosphere with his team and customer base as well as consistently producing superior high-quality outcome for their customers.
Jesse is contagious in his passion for the cars and culture, he is such a straight shooter and understands heritage and the importance of preserving these amazing vehicles. I have had the opportunity to see several cars in process and completed and these cars are so well beyond the quality of their original condition. The painting quality they produce is bar none and is the best I have ever seen, which is amazing coming from a body man’s son. The vintage car community is truly blessed to have such a passion craftsman who are committed to doing such outstanding work that is timely and cost appropriate for the quality work they are producing.
As amazing as RW Auto Classics restoration work is, their commitment to the vintage car community is even greater. What Jesse and his partners are planning for their location is truly visionary, from a club house for clubs to meet, families and car enthusiasts to gather, a track to drive vintage cars, and hosting multiple events for the vintage car community. RW Auto Classics is truly beyond anything that can be found in our state of Washington nor the Western United States.
I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend RW Auto Classics for any support you need for your classic car. I can guarantee you will be well cared for and supported on your classic car journey. An added bonus is you will be introduced to an amazing group of people in our ever-growing vintage car community through the team at RW Auto Classics. Thank you, Jesse, for your vision and passion.
