Exceptional work performed by a professional staff! Very impressive workmanship on all metal repair and the high quality paint job is Out of this World gorgeous. My 1966 Shelby Clone is a rotisserie restore and the undercarriage received the same quality workmanship as the body.Im so glad I brought my car to Southern Classics! Every penny spent in the course of bringing this 55 year old car back to factory condition will help to ensure it last another 55 years if not longer.Thanks to Olaf and crew for a superb job and all the advice as I continue to put my car together to enjoy for many years to come.

I was referred to Southern Classics and couldn’t be happier with the results. Olaf and his staff are great. From the first moment I walked in Olaf took as much time as I needed to address all my concerns and talk about what I wanted to achieve with the work I was having him do on my 73 Mach 1. I never felt rushed out of the place. When he wasn’t there his staff would stop what they were doing and took as much time as I needed to answer all my questions on the progress of the work being done on my car. The care they took to go the extra mile and give me top quality work while charging a very fair price, in fact lower than anyone else I spoke to, was appreciated. And the fact that Olaf would stop me from doing work that I wanted to do, that he believed was unnecessary even though it cost him some business shows his quality of character and work ethics as a business owner who wants to maintain a strong continuing relationship with his customers. If you have a classic car, or any car for that matter, that you need quality work completed in an honest and cost conscious manner then Southern Classics is the only place you need to go and Olaf Herrick is the only person you need to work with. The photos are before and after just some of the work Southern Classics completed on my car. Olaf will be taking care of my classic car from now on.

From what I seen, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Olaf so far seems to be a very honest guy, and their work is absolutely amazing! I cant wait for them to start my Classic Mustang!!!*Update to my first review*So good so far, I couldnt be happier with the transparency and the work Ive had done so far by Olaf and his team. Weve still got a ways to go so Ill continue with updates as the build continues.

My company has used them for body work before but I needed to have my personal vehicle restored after tree damage. I just want to let everyone know they were great to deal with. James, in particular, was always communicative, made every effort to let me know what the status was all the time, flexible with my requests and always helpful. His crew did a very good job and really restored everything better than hoped.I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

I recently brought my mustang to Southern Classics for some significant repair work. This is not my first time doing business with Southern as I have brought my other vehicles in as well. I can say my experience was quite professional and overwhelmingly satisfactory.Most important to me for my cars is quality of work performed. They did a great job. Everything was as promised. Thanks!

I am going to be 100% honest. Everything didnt go perfectly smooth with the repair of my 1970 Olds Cutlass, but the owner—Olaf— made sure to take the time to correct the issues to exceed my expectations. Like any great business owner, he takes pride in the quality of work that comes out of his shop. He is very nice, personable, and hardworking. His work ethic is admirable and quality/skill remarkable.Like me, your repair might not go 100% according to plan (sometimes that is par for the course with an old car), but have patience. With Southern Classics you can have the peace of mind that it will be done right in the end.I give my highest recommendation, especially for vintage/antique cars.P.S. Anyone who says any of these employees are rude. (other comments I read below), is 100% lying. I was NEVER treated with anything but kindness and respect by every single soul who worked in that building. James, the woman at the front desk, and Olaf were all very kind, professional, personable, and respectful on all occasions.

Had my car brought in for some body work and received outstanding service that went above and beyond my expectations. Dont know much about cards but when I came in the lady at the desk treated me with utmost respect and was super helpful with what I needed done. Most importantly my car looks great!

I like the way the owner let me pick the level of work to be done and to opt. out of things I can do myself. We have already completed one project together and have started another. Im sure everything will end up great like the last car.

I brought my Ford truck in for window seal replacement. Olaf and his staff are professional, communicative, honest, easy to work with and great at what they do. Thank you all for your integrity and doing great work on my truck!

The work this shop puts out is not the problem. The owner and his business practices are. He pays his employees less than anyone else around. He charges more than then anyone else around. He has a rude front desk woman who treats you like you are a child.There are hundreds of places in the Fredericksburg are to get work done on a car and this place is the most expensive and has the worst customer service.Take your business some where else.

Terrible customer service. I would rather pay double the price to any other company than have to deal with a single soul at this business- especially the owner. Do yourselves a favor and just go somewhere else. The price will be the same, the quality of work will be the same, and you might actually talk to someone with some people skills.

Recently had my 68 Cougar in for body work/paint from getting rear ended. The entire crew at Southern Classics was great and they worked well with my insurance and got my car quickly back to its show car state in a painless experience. Couldnt have been happier!

Had a 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham completely overhauled and restored. It was a family car with a lot of sentimental value. Olaf and his team did a phenomenal job from start to finish. When it comes to trusting someone to do a job like this, or in my opinion any other work on a vehicle, you will not find a better place.

Wow! Olaf and his staff did an amazing job on my 1965 Mustang. I can’t even tell where the repair was done. I’m very happy with their body and paint work. I highly recommend Southern Classics if you need to repair or restore your classic car.Thanks, again Robb

My husband and I had an old ford truck taken to olaf’s shop to have extensive work done like body work and mechanical work. My husband was a marine stationed in quantico at the time our truck was taken there. Fast forward a bit...my husband got out of the core and we moved back to Michigan. However the truck wasn’t ready so we left it there to continue being worked on. The work Olaf and his staff did seemed to be good while we were in Virginia but it all seemed to go down hill when we left.We got the truck transported to Michigan after we were told it was ready. I’ll never forget the condition it was in when we picked it up. We had to fix MANY things before we could even drive it home.Olaf also sent the trucks transmition off to be rebuilt at another shop which was a waste of time and money. Our truck is now at another shop getting the same work RE DONE because it was done wrong and caused a bunch of other issues.I’m so so so disappointed as we really like Olaf and his team...
