Classic British Car Repair Services

The label of classic cars refers to a broad range of luxury vehicles that are between 20 and 50 years old. These cars are usually maintained and restored to take on leisurely drives or be presented at car shows.

Classic British cars have defined the generations gone by and continue to stand the test of time. Land Rover, Jaguar, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce… luxury brands have cemented themselves as favourites of auto enthusiasts for their historical significance and high-quality parts.

However, to perform as well as they look, even the most well-designed cars need regular maintenance and timely repairs: services that your average repair shops may not be able to offer.

Classic British car maintenance requires immense knowledge of specific components, systems operations, manufacturing practices, and all the quirks that make these vehicles so special – and at Westminster Motors we understand this as your premium classic British auto service center.

Our team’s years of combined experience, attention to detail, utilizing manufacturers’ special tools and workshop procedures restore, repair, and maintain even the most unique retro cars.

Whether you’re looking for vintage car restoration or a classic car mechanic near you, don’t hesitate to trust us. As fellow auto enthusiasts, we know you should never settle for anything less than the best.

Planning to Buy a Classic Car? Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection!

Classic cars repair services

At Westminster Motors, we also offer certified and comprehensive pre-owned vehicle inspections. This is not your average check-up: our experts look into the finer details to assess the condition of your potential purchase and its actual value.

Why is this important? While classic Jaguar models and antique Land Rovers come with comprehensive histories and stacks of receipts, this doesn’t guarantee they’ll be in top condition. Our thorough inspection process can save you thousands of dollars!
