Questions before the car comes in.
What a build costs, how long it takes, what happens to a car that ships in from out of state — answered the way the shop answers them on the phone.
Getting started
Do you work with clients outside of Oklahoma?
- Yes. Unique Customs works with collectors nationwide. We regularly coordinate enclosed vehicle transport and manage projects remotely with clear communication throughout the build process.
How do I start a build with Unique Customs?
- The process begins with a consultation to understand your vehicle, goals, timeline, and level of customization. From there, we outline scope, feasibility, and next steps before moving into scheduling and planning.
Do I need to have a complete plan before contacting you?
- Not at all. Some clients arrive with detailed visions, while others need guidance. We collaborate early to help define the direction, scope, and priorities of your build.
Scope and services
What types of vehicles do you work on?
- We specialize in classic and collector vehicles, including muscle cars, vintage trucks, and specialty platforms. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle is a fit, we’re happy to discuss it.
Do you offer full restorations as well as partial builds?
- Yes. We handle full frame-off restorations, partial restorations, modernization projects, collision repair, and standalone services depending on the vehicle and client goals.
Can you modernize a classic without losing its character?
- Absolutely. Our approach focuses on preserving the soul of the vehicle while enhancing performance, drivability, and comfort through thoughtful, integrated upgrades.
Timing and scheduling
How long does a typical build take?
- Every project is different. Timelines depend on scope, condition of the vehicle, parts availability, and level of customization. Full builds often take several months to over a year.
Why do restorations take so long?
- Quality restoration involves extensive teardown, inspection, fabrication, and refinement — much of which can’t be rushed. Our priority is doing the work correctly, not quickly.
Do you have a waiting list?
- Yes. We limit the number of projects in the shop at one time to maintain quality and attention to detail. Scheduling is discussed during the consultation phase.
Pricing and payment
What does a typical restoration cost?
- Costs vary widely based on vehicle condition, scope, and client goals. Because every build is built to order, we do not offer flat pricing. Estimates are provided after an initial evaluation.
Do you offer phased builds or budget flexibility?
- Yes. Many clients choose phased builds, allowing projects to progress in stages while maintaining long-term goals.
What is your payment structure?
- Projects typically require an initial deposit, with progress payments tied to milestones throughout the build. Details are outlined clearly before work begins.
Logistics and nationwide clients
Can you arrange vehicle transport?
- Yes. We regularly coordinate enclosed transport for vehicles shipping to and from our facility.
How do you communicate with remote clients?
- We provide regular updates, photos, and progress check-ins to keep clients informed, regardless of location.
Quality, process and ownership
Do you outsource any of your work?
- No. All core restoration, fabrication, bodywork, paint, and assembly are completed in-house to ensure quality and consistency.
Do you document the build process?
- Yes. Build documentation is part of our process and provides transparency, provenance, and long-term value for the vehicle.
Will my car retain or increase its value?
- While no restoration can guarantee future value, our focus on craftsmanship, documentation, and correct execution supports long-term desirability and collectibility.
After the build
Do you offer post-build support or service?
- Yes. We stand behind our work and remain available for follow-up service, adjustments, and ongoing care.
Can you service or update a vehicle you didn’t originally build?
- In many cases, yes. Vehicles are evaluated individually to ensure they meet our standards for service or modification.
Still unanswered? The shop would rather talk it through than have you guess.
