SERVICE PACKAGES
At Silver Lining Auto Restoration, we offer three distinct restoration packages designed to give you complete control over the timing and budget of your classic VW restoration project. Whether you choose our Bronze, Silver, or Gold package, you’ll receive the same exceptional quality workmanship and transparent communication throughout the restoration process. The primary difference between these packages is the priority level your vehicle receives in our shop, with Gold members enjoying front-of-the-line status and the fastest completion times. Each package is tailored to accommodate different timelines and budgets while maintaining our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Gold Package: Premium Restoration Service
What You Get
Our Gold Package puts your classic car at the front of the line. Your restoration becomes our top priority with dedicated attention day and night. Most projects complete in about 9-10 months, depending on your car’s condition.
Progress Updates
You’ll receive weekly photo updates with detailed descriptions of what we’re working on. We know you want to be part of the journey, and these updates are the next best thing to being in the shop with us.
No Upfront Deposits
We don’t require deposits to start your project. Once your classic arrives at our shop, we begin work immediately.
Transparent Pricing
We charge $150 per hour for labor and bill for materials weekly. Since every classic car is unique, we don’t provide fixed price estimates upfront. The final cost depends on:
Amount of rust discovered
Your desired quality level (show-quality or concours)
Unexpected issues found during disassembly
Our Commitment
Many shops give estimates that rarely match the final bill. Instead, we believe in working together as your project moves forward. Our focus is always on quality craftsmanship and your complete satisfaction every step of the way.
Silver Package: Premium Restoration Service
Accelerated Completion Timeline
You have made the decision to restore your classic car. Now you need to decide where you want to take it and who will get it done in a timely matter? With the SILVER package, your restoration would be completed in approximately 1 to 1½ years, not the industry-standard 3-5 years.
Weekly Progress Updates
You will get weekly photo updates of the progress made with descriptions of what we are doing. We understand you want to be involved in the build and this is the closest thing to being here with us.
No Upfront Deposits
We do not take deposits on any projects. Once your classic is in our shop, we get to work immediately. We invoice weekly for time ($130.00 per hour) and materials.
Transparent Cost Structure
With every project being different, there is no way to give a fixed bid because it is impossible to know how much rust there is, or what quality of a restoration you want – concours or show quality restoration. There are many factors to a restoration. It is common in our industry for shops to give bids but by the end of the build it is 2-3 times the amount.
Collaborative Partnership
Our goal is for you, the client, and Silver Lining Auto Restoration to work together as the project moves forward to the finish. Performing quality work and having satisfied customers is on our mind every step of the way.
Active Restoration Guarantee
Bronze is our basic package which still gives you great value. We know and see what other shops are doing in our industry. We are not a storage facility nor do we take projects on unless we are going to be working on them. What does that do for you as the client? You know once your classic is in our shop we will begin working on it.
Flexible Progress Timeline
Depending on how many GOLD and SILVER members we have, will determine progress on your classic. This also gives a chance for clients to budget how much they can spend per month.
Photo Documentation
You will get photo updates of the progress made. We understand you want to be involved in the build and this is the closest thing to being here with us.
