We Are Northern California's Classic Car Specialist
Our staff consists of over 40 years of experience in the automotive field, and Orinda Classic Car Center is where we get to live our passion of working on these classic vehicles! We do complete mechanical restorations, repairs, and even resto modifications (upgraded suspension and brakes, rack & pinion, electronics). We strive to ensure your vehicle is properly worked on the first time, no cutting corners. We have had vehicles brought to us that were sitting for years needing attention everywhere, vehicles that have been in families for decades that regularly come in for normal wear and tear repairs, even vehicles that are show room quality! If you’re new we proceed with a general inspection of the vehicle allowing us to go down the list of what does and doesn’t need attention, with the highest priority being safety.
“What appeared to be a perfect Resto Mod on paper at auction turned out to be a bit of a nightmare for the owner of this 1970 Resto Mod Chevelle SS. After purchasing at auction, we were entrusted with inspecting and addressing issues this vehicle presented” Read More

“This family cruiser was Ed's childhood car. He set out to restore the trusty wagon to be safe and reliable. He also had aspirations of towing a small Airstream travel trailer and realized that the tired 300C.I. original engine was not going to give him the power he needed.” Read More
“We need a cool shop wagon to could use as a test bed and show car. This hot rod started out life as a stock Chevy Greenbriar family wagon we found sitting in a yard in San Jose California.” Read More
“This is not Chris's first Mustang but it is the most radical. This Shelby replica car was pretty hot when he bought it but he usually does not leave his cars alone. So we hopped it up with fuel injection, modern suspension, steering and brakes.” Read More
“After inheriting this classic cougar from relatives Kurt soon realized that the driving experience left a lot to be desired. The car was clean enough but stock and tired. He wanted to increase the horsepower significantly.” Read More
“The extensive work we did for John was the last stage of a very long restoration that took many, many years. The paint and body work was already completed but the car was in need of mechanical work bumper to bumper.” Read More
