How Does Restoration in Hungary Work?
We offer you the chance to fully restore and enjoy the car of your dreams, at a lower cost than doing the same in the UK or Germany typically we are like for like 30% lower in costs with far higher quality of finish. Anything is possible and the level of detailed restoration is only limited by your imagination and budget. Laszlo is an obsessive perfectionist and does not and will not make do and mend. All restorations are meticulous in their detail and their quality. All our work is quality guaranteed and our transport and storage is fully insured. The cost of transport is offset by the lower hourly rate we charge due to the lower cost of living in Hungary.
Please note that since Brexit there may be situations with a UK vehicle that require paperwork and sometimes a deposit to be paid in France. We will assist with the paperwork and try to avoid these where possible. We have no issues with accepting any cars from the EU.
