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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
