BUSINESS OPERATIONS

QUALITY STANDARDS

Our Quality Standard is set in place to ensure a system of checks and balance are followed. We ensure our work meets manufactures specifications. We inspect and document all discrepant findings on each muscle car restoration process by utilizing a  maintenance inspection program. 

THE INSPECTION PROCESS

This ensures all areas of the muscle car are inspected for serviceability, and have been properly repaired, operationally tested prior to release to service to our customer. All our restoration repairs must have an MCS quality control stamp for final approval. This process ensures a record of compliance with the manufactures technical data.

VEHICLE SPECIFICATION DATA SHEETS

The Muscle Car Shop offers vehicle specification information sheets. This informational guides our customer through a technical evaluation inspection that offers the owner a record of what type of configuration the vehicle is in to include engine parts, cooling system, air conditioning, interior, brake system, fuel system, suspension parts, body panels and miscellaneous items etc.  This information is very helpful when vehicle undergoes preventative maintenance and repairs.

PARTS ACCOUNTABILITY

We also give you a full accountability of all the vehicle parts, materials and receipts of all items used to build the project.
