"Vern did all the body repair and paint work on my'59 TR3A 6 years ago. This car had alot of issues and needed quite a bit of work. It was a complete frame-off restoration. His craftsmanship was so superb that as a result this car has won many awards. A few of which are,People's Choice Best in Show for the Portland All British Field Meet. This was with over 800 participating cars. It has won Best In Show 4 out of the last 5 years in the All Triumph Drive In (ATDI). It was chosen as the Best TR2 - TR3 at the VTR Nationals this September 2009 in San Louis Obispo CA. This award is sponsored by The Roadster Factory and chosen by Charles Runyan, the owner and a TR3A owner.These are just the highlight awards in addition to many others.
Another point I would like to make is Vern's pricing is very fair and makes this hobby affordable for enthusiasts, such as myself, that otherwise could not afford to participate in this expensive pastime.
Vern also does all the body work on my personal and business vehicles. My family members use him also for their vehicles, which is a testimony to his fairness and pricing.
I would be pleased to discuss Vern's work with anyone".

" I have been using Vern for both restoration and late model collision work for over 12 years. He ' s done the body restoration on my Triumph TR 250 and Mini woodie wagon, extensive work on my Austin Healey 3000, and performed minor fixes to serveral of my other collector cars. Along with restoration he has performed the collision repair on our VW Beetle , Audi 100 , and BMW 325.
Vern ' s work is without question top grade. Both the Triumph and Mini have won numerous awards including national and regional shows. They have both placed first in class at Forest Grove Concours and won 1st place in their respective national concourse shows. Vern is also a class act. He is trustworthy, cares about you as a human being, and wants to make you happy with the job he does.
I have recommended Vern to many of my friends and have never heard anything negative back. He is highly respected in the British car community and in particular the local Triumph club. Vern has grown to become a good friend of mine and of others that he has done work for."

"I chose Vern for the body work and paint portion of my LBC. I had helped assemble several previous cars which had gone though Vern's shop and I was impressed with the attention he paid to the detail areas such as the sheet metal crimp seams on the bottom of the doors. Vern was very willing to work with me on special requests; such as using a textured autobody sealant inside the wheel wells, and the extra nice finish I wanted on the near perfect Bugeye bonnet. It was a bonus that Vern was able to fit inside the Bugeye trunk to for repair and refinishing ,it is more of a cavern then a trunk as there is no trunk lid."
