Inspections, valuations & support

Technical Assistance

Pre-purchase inspections, valuations and written expert reports before you buy, plus complimentary support during the warranty period and on-site help at rallies, parades and exhibitions.

Before you buy

A classic can hide years of filler, rust and missing parts under good paint. Before you commit, our specialists inspect the car and tell you what you are really buying.

  • Pre-purchase inspections
  • Valuations
  • Written expert reports with photos
  • An estimate of what a restoration would cost

During the warranty period

Every restoration carries a 12-month warranty with complimentary technical assistance. If a covered issue arises, we repair it at our workshop in Moara Vlăsiei within the warranty terms.

On-site event support

We also provide specialist technical support at the events you enter with your car: rallies, parades, exhibitions and concours. Our specialists deal with unexpected technical problems quickly, so you can finish the event you entered.

  • Rallies (historic and regularity)
  • Parades and club runs
  • Exhibitions and concours
  • Mobile specialist dispatch for regional events
Frequently asked

Technical Assistance: frequently asked questions

What does a pre-purchase inspection cover?

Bodywork and corrosion, mechanical condition, whether the chassis and engine numbers match the documents, how original the car is, and the state of the interior and trim. You get a written report with photos, and we can estimate what bringing the car to your chosen standard would cost.

Can you value a car?

Yes. We prepare valuations and expert reports for owners who are buying or selling a classic.

What's covered by the post-restoration warranty?

Workmanship and reassembly on all systems we rebuilt. Wearing parts (belts, hoses, filters, pads) are covered for defects but not for normal wear. We walk you through the coverage at delivery.

How long is the warranty?

12 months on all restoration work, whatever the tier.

Do you travel to events abroad?

Yes. We've supported clients at events across Europe. International event support is quoted per event based on distance, duration, and crew size.

What happens if the car breaks down mid-rally?

We dispatch the nearest specialist with a tool kit and the most likely spares for your car. Where a roadside fix isn't possible, we coordinate recovery to the nearest safe location and then to our workshop.

Can I pay for event support even if my car wasn't restored here?

Yes. We accept event support commissions for cars restored elsewhere, subject to our technicians' availability and an initial familiarisation session.
