Restoring or maintaining a classic car can feel overwhelming. Trust the experienced team at Mattingly’s Performance & Repair LLC to guide you through the process. Our technicians are well-versed in classic vehicle systems and understand the balance between modern reliability and vintage character. While we use modern diagnostic tools and professional equipment, we still appreciate doing things the old-school way when it matters most.


Rust and Corrosion Assessment

Rust and corrosion are common concerns with vintage vehicles and must be addressed correctly to prevent future mechanical issues. While we do not perform body or paint restoration, we carefully assess structural and mechanical areas affected by corrosion and make recommendations or necessary repairs related to safety, drivability, and component mounting.


Engine Restoration or Replacement

Replacing worn components alone often does not resolve the deeper issues found in aging engines. Internal wear in bearings, valve trains, cams, piston rings, and cylinders reduces power and efficiency and increases the risk of failure. Precision measurements, resurfacing, boring, valve seating, and internal inspections are critical to restoring engine performance.


In some cases, complete engine remanufacturing is the best solution. We proudly work with JASPER Engines to have original engines, drivetrains, and transmissions professionally remanufactured to OEM specifications. Your original components are returned looking and performing better than new and are backed by a nationwide parts and labor warranty. Ask our team about JASPER options for your classic vehicle.


Repairs and Upgrades

Classic vehicles often suffer from age-related issues or outdated designs. We offer mechanical repairs and upgrades such as electronic ignition systems, carburetor service, performance intakes, cooling improvements, braking upgrades, and transmission enhancements. Limited fabrication or welding may be performed only when required for proper mechanical repair or component installation. Whether your goal is improved drivability or maintaining a period-correct setup, we tailor each repair to your vision.


Ride Quality

Over time, worn suspension components such as bushings, springs, shocks, and wheel bearings can drastically reduce ride comfort and handling. After proper inspection and service, many classic vehicles regain the smooth, comfortable ride they were known for. Addressing these issues helps reduce noise, vibration, and harshness while restoring confidence behind the wheel.


Interior Mechanical Repair

Interior issues such as sagging doors, malfunctioning window regulators, worn latches, rattles, leaks, and faulty electronics can take away from the driving experience. We focus on functional interior repairs that improve comfort and usability while preserving the vehicle’s original feel. Attention to these details helps elevate your classic restoration above the rest.
