Not automatically. AG Body Shop’s confirmed vehicle restoration scope focuses on suitable body, metal, corrosion and paint work.
A body restoration can involve assessment, exterior dismantling, panel repair, suitable welding and metalwork, surface preparation, refinishing and reassembly of relevant exterior components. That does not mean every mechanical, electrical or interior system on the vehicle is being rebuilt at the same time.
Engine and drivetrain work, suspension, electrical systems, specialist diagnostics, glass and upholstery are separate disciplines. Where a restoration project requires those areas, they should be identified and planned separately with the appropriate specialist rather than being assumed to form part of the bodywork quotation.
This distinction is especially important with classic vehicles. A car can have a comprehensively restored exterior while retaining an existing engine, interior or electrical system, depending on the owner’s objectives and the agreed project scope.
Defining these boundaries before dismantling helps the owner understand what the body shop is responsible for and which additional work may need separate planning.
For body-focused restoration, see our Complete Vehicle Restoration service. Owners of older vehicles can also review Classic Car Restoration.
Our Car Restoration Process guide explains the body, metal, preparation and refinishing stages in more detail.
