Services — Restoration & Builds
Restoration & Custom Builds
One-off builds. Ground-up restorations.
01What's included
The scope
Ground-up restorations and one-off builds — bodywork, mechanical, trim and paint under one roof, documented from first bolt to last.
02The process
How it runs
No surprises on collection — you approve every step before it happens.
01
The brief
Concours, restomod or driver — the standard is agreed before the first panel comes off.
02
Strip & assessment
Full teardown with every finding photographed. The real scope is known before major spend.
03
Staged build plan
Body, drivetrain, trim, paint — sequenced with costs per stage. You approve each gate.
04
The build
Months, not weeks — with a photo record you can follow from anywhere in the world.
05
Commissioning
Run-in, setup, snagging, and a handover file: every receipt, every photo, every spec.
03Why it matters
Built for Dubai conditions
A restoration is a project, not a service — and projects fail on scope, not skill. Our staged-gate process means you always know where the money went and what comes next.
The build record matters as much as the build: a documented car is worth more, insures better, and sells faster. Every Autova build leaves with a complete file.

05FAQs
Straight answers
Honestly: it depends on the car and the standard. The strip-and-assess stage exists to answer this question with evidence instead of a guess.
Any time — and you get photo updates at every stage regardless. It's your car and your money; you should see both.
Yes — modern drivetrain, brakes and AC in classic metal is some of our favourite work. UAE roads demand the AC.
We source genuine, NOS and remanufactured parts through networks in Europe, Japan and the US.
