Warlock Garage Services

We are a Veteran owned service, repair and restoration shop specializing in Classic Cars, and pre ODB 1 vehicles. Head mechanic is also prior military, engine mechanic on f-15, and the owner a maintenance and airframes mechanic on f-18/ea-6b aircraft, both have extensive time in the industry, both certified mechanics, from experience in motorcycle racing, to NHRA and lots in between. For any questions about your vehicle, scheduling your vehicle and getting it into the shop; please feel free to call us or send us an email. Follow us on our social media pages to find out all of the projects that we are working on.

 

Billing and Labor

  • Current rate for 2024 is $125/hr
  • We do not give estimates, we work by the hour and bill by the hour, the labor is all documented in a by the hour log, and is broken down in the bill
  • we bill hourly because it is not fair or accurate to the customer, if we run into a rusty bolt, brakes that not only need the estimated wheel cylinder but also the brake lines are disintegrating and will have to be custom fabricated (actually happened), or a custom made differential that the owner was not aware of (again has actually happened, parts no longer made for custom diff, replacement necessary became a much bigger job than anticipated). Just the reality of classic cars.
  • We Bill weekly and rarely ask for a deposit unless it is a valuable item or lots of parts, that way if something comes up (family emergency, child, etc) we can put the project on hold and the customer is not out the entire deposit.
  • The Veteran and first responder discount will be raised to $110/ hour for 2024, please ask about it.
