Car Restoration
Car Restoration is something that Steve Couture has focused on for nearly 30 years. Bringing a car back to life doesn't mean you are able to turn it on and drive it. It means to renew all of the parts, repaint the car, and change the interior. All of those things are done here fast and efficient. Services like changing headlights to rebuilding the engine can all be done by Steve.
Not only his work is high quality, but also time efficient. It takes him only two to three weeks to change all parts such as water pump, fuel pump, etc... Changing all bolts, completely finishing front end, rebuilding the carburetor, changing breaks, the engine and transmission, and then hand-wash/waxing the car. Steve's highly knowledgeable and experienced, and his professionalism is evident in his body of work . So don't hesitate and choose Private Restoration for your car because you won't be disappointed.

Restoration Detailing
Restoration Detailing is something Steve has been passionate and obsessed with for a long time. When it comes to detailing he wants to make sure everything is at it's best. In order to be excellent at restoration detailing you need to have a lot of experience and that's what Steve offers you. He's been doing this for a long time, so he knows and sees when and what is at it's finest.
The most important part of Restoration Detailing is not only making the car look like it's brand new, but also to make sure that everything is original. The car that you bought 40 years ago is the same as it is right now. Not only does that increases the car's value, but it also shows that the car wasn't remade with modern parts.
