“I was so pleased to find a VW expertise shop in Michigan that could do such a quality restoration. John and his team kept me in the loop through all processes with phone calls, emails and pictures. John was very flexible with timing on parts and assemblies that I supplied. John made every attempt to make sure that this would be a stress-free project. I would highly recommend SOMC with any restoration project you might have in mind!”
Gary Penission
“From the moment I met John, I knew my beloved VW Beetle was in the best hands. I loved being invited to his shop and getting an explanation of the work being completed. Seeing and touching the process was awesome and something I never expected and probably wouldn’t have got from someone else. John made sure we were part of the process and was transparent about the work being completed and why. SOMC transformed my Beetle into my absolute dream car!”
Robert Schoof
“John and his staff at SOMC worked very closely with me down to the smallest details, a true collaboration with me as a customer to make sure that there were no surprises with the completed vehicle. I felt that I was on the team throughout the entire project as we worked together to the finish of the project.”
