Classic coach can do anything in house. Mechanics, interior, paint, etc. The thing they farm out is coating/plating. It’s mostly Italian craftsman. Drop off your car, hand them the keys, and rest easy.

 

i have never once heard a negative thing about Auto Elite. Im not in NJ so have never used them but all my NJ friends go there and love it.

 

Classic Coach is central. Up north vinnie at auto elite.
Classic coach is the spot for body work restorations for sure. FNA sends cars there.
General service type work they are mostly about the same. Mostly.
For 348 specifically Pocono sports car is probably the best. Sort of NW.

 

I am in Northern NJ and travel to J Scuderia in Cranbury. I have never been disappointed, and their work is flawless

 

I second J Scuderia in Cranbury, the best.

 

Call Master Upholstery in Newton NJ. Jerry does amazing work.

 

I've been useing Vinnie from Auto Elite for years. He does great work.

 

PM sent

 

Don’t think he was alive when the 355 came out. Experience counts.

 

Auto Elite, Vincenzo Latino, 1 Atwood Place, Tenafly, NJ. Did my engine out/water pump, etc. at a reasonable price. Has been working on 355s since they were born.

 

Wow, that is harsh and dismissive of someone's vast knowledge.

 

what a stupid comment.

 

Glad you said it, I agree

I agree too. Many of our tech support crew were toddlers when my 1995 F355 Challenge was made. A few of them prepped my car prior to the three-day Watkins Glen event I went to three weeks ago.

I have full faith in their training and expertise to ensure that my car is right for the track where it's subject to extreme use...

A well-trained and experienced crew came in handy a few years ago when my car began experiencing intermittent loss of power on the track. All sorts of warning lights were going on and off. I always carry a spare alternator with me to track events but the alternator in the car was relatively new so I figured it was a loose cable connection.

In the pit lane, the techs saw that the connector was secure. I was directed to go back to the garage. Using a wire continuity tester, they diagnosed a broken wire in the cable which they isolated when the slit the cable cover open...

Yes, they had the car on jack stands...

They spliced the broken wire, taped up the cable cover and my car was back on the track a half hour later.

I helped with the diagnosis but the techs knew how to effect repairs and did so quickly.

 

Who would you have work on a car from the 60s/70s then?
With that logic.....those with the "experience" to do the work would all be dead.

 

As a nut and a spendthrift my interest was piqued when I learned that Connolly leather could be re-connolized. FYI

 

where are you? Stitcht north of Baltimore had done excellent work for me. They have done very high profile cars.

right, it was not intended that way, it was more observational humor. Apologies how it sounded.
