Car restoration quote.Edmonton, straight answers.

A car restoration quote from 2240 Speed Shop starts with photos and a straight conversation. Tell us the vehicle, where it sits, and what you want out of it. Terry reads every request himself and comes back with scope, sequence, and a number band inside two business days.

How does getting a quote work?

Four moves. No showroom lap, no financing pitch, no pressure to book a bay before anyone has seen the underside of your car.

  1. 01

    You send the car

    Five minutes on the form below, or a text with photos. Year, make, model, where it sits, and what you want out of it.

  2. 02

    Terry reads it

    Owner-operator shop. The person who would do the work is the person who reads the request — no service writer in the middle.

  3. 03

    You get scope and a band

    Written back inside two business days: the work in sequence, what gets done first, and the range it lands in.

  4. 04

    We look at it together

    Before anything is final the car comes in and goes up on the hoist. Then the band becomes a number and the sequence becomes a schedule.

Questions about quoting

How long does a quote take?
Two business days on a normal week. A photo set with the floors, rockers, engine bay and interior usually gets a full answer in one pass. Thin photos get a phone call first, because guessing at rust helps nobody and inflates every number on the sheet.
Do I have to bring the car in to get a quote?
No. Start with photos and a description — nothing has to move for the first conversation. Before a number is final we want the car here where it can go on the hoist, because the underside is where estimates live or die.
Why is the answer a band instead of one number?
Because sealed sheet metal lies. Until panels come off, an honest shop quotes the range it can defend and narrows it once the car is open. A single number quoted blind is either padded to be safe or short enough to become a fight later.
