Customer Testimonials

Our customers have a lot of good things to say — and we couldn’t be prouder. Check out some of their stories!

I brought my 1968 Mustang to TDB Auto Body after a small collision, and I couldn’t be happier with the work Nima and his team did. They treated my car like it was their own, paying attention to every tiny detail. The paintwork is flawless and matches perfectly with the original color. Nima kept me updated throughout the process, and the final result honestly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend TDB Auto to anyone looking for expert classic car repairs in North Vancouver.
John M.
Finding someone who truly understands classic cars is rare these days, but Nima at TDB Auto Body absolutely does. My vintage Porsche had some rust and body damage that I thought might cost me a fortune. Nima explained everything clearly, gave me a fair quote, and delivered incredible craftsmanship. The car looks stunning now — you’d never know it was damaged. I’m so grateful for the care and pride they put into their work.
Sarah L.
TDB Auto Body is hands-down the best place for classic car bodywork in North Vancouver. Nima and his team restored my 1971 Chevy Camaro after years of wear and tear. From rust repair to repainting, every part of the process was done with incredible attention to detail. The car now looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my classics!
Mike T.
When my classic Jaguar was sideswiped, I was devastated. I didn’t know where to turn until a friend recommended TDB Auto Body. Nima and his crew were amazing from start to finish. They sourced the right parts, matched the paint perfectly, and brought my Jag back to life. The professionalism, communication, and skill at TDB Auto are top-notch. Highly recommend them for any classic car repairs.
Emily R.
I’ve owned my 1957 Bel Air for over 20 years, and when it needed bodywork and paint, I knew it had to be done right. Nima at TDB Auto Body took the time to walk me through the process and treated the car with the respect it deserved. The restoration work is flawless — the lines are perfect, the paint is deep and rich, and the attention to detail is unbelievable. You can tell Nima and his team are true craftsmen who love what they do.
David K.
After searching around North Vancouver for a shop that specializes in classic car repairs, I’m so glad I found TDB Auto Body. Nima went above and beyond to make sure my 1969 Firebird was repaired properly after an unfortunate accident. The care they take with each vehicle is incredible. It’s rare to find a shop where you can fully trust the work being done, but TDB Auto earned my complete confidence. My car has never looked better!

Got questions about restoring or repairing your classic car? Our expert team at TDB Auto Body in North Vancouver answers the most common questions we hear from classic car owners. From rust repairs to paint matching and full restorations — we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
We begin with a full detailed disassembly, stripping paint to bare metal (removing trim, panels, interior if needed). Next: rust removal or panel fabrication, body straightening, primer/coating, paint, and a careful reassembly and buff — bringing your classic back to life.
It depends on the car’s condition and parts availability. A small job may take weeks, while full restorations can span many months — or even up to a year — especially for rare parts. We keep you updated every step.
We use advanced color-matching technology and premium waterborne/basecoat-clearcoat systems to ensure a seamless, factory-perfect finish.
Absolutely. Our process includes cutting out rust, welding in new panels or patch sections, and applying sealing and protective coatings to stop rust for good.
Yes. We offer a lifetime guarantee on body and paint work (while you own the car), ensuring peace of mind.
You have total control. You can go through insurance or pay privately — we’ll work with either approach and make sure you’re informed and comfortable.
For full restorations we focus on bodywork and paint, but we’re happy to team up with trusted mechanics, or help coordinate mechanical and interior repair work to complete your vehicle.
At TDB Auto Body we specialize in vintage and classic vehicles, though we can also handle modern bodywork. Rest assured, classics get the extra care and expertise they deserve.
