I came across the Classic Car Factory in a FaceBook ad for storage and I made arrangements to store my car over the winter. One visit is all you need to see that these folks truly enjoy working with vintage/specialty vehicles and their owners. The wide variety of vehicles being stored/serviced/for sale reflects the range of interest in this hobby. It is enjoyable to do business with folks who share your passion.

Classic Auto Factory has got to be the number one custom car fabricator in Northern Illinois. Darius & Rimante are great people to deal with & treat every customer like a member of the family. I won t forget to mention the excellent craftsmen, Josh, Jeff & Brian.

Always a pleasure doing business. I ve bought, sold and serviced here and it s a pleasure each time. The guys do a great job at keeping my Mustang up to date with maintenance and the upgrades I ve wanted done over the past year. Getting hard to find honest work for a decent price but these guys are where it s at.

Great place to talk vintage cars and friendly staff. My family member got a deal on a 57 Bel Air and was treated with great respect for being a Vietnam Veteran.

Let me preface by saying I don t like to leave negative reviews.Earlier in the year I contacted them seeing if they have room for 2 of my trucks to store over the winter months. They had availability and we struck a deal and I signed a contract and sent over my information. Then months later I received a call saying that they were not going to uphold their end of the deal and were very short with me. I tried reaching out and they blocked me.

I have had nothing but top notch service and sales experience. I ve been doing business with this establishment for a year now. Their pricing is competitive but more importantly competent professionals with many years of experience do the work.

I can t say enough positive things about this company and Darius that I was talking to. He was patient and very accommodating to me being out of town and needing more info on a car they have for sale there. He sent me videos, specific pics, and picked up the phone every time I called or text. Do yourself a favor and give these guys a try.

These guys are shady. The owner is from Baltria in St. Charles which his family still owns. The picture shows how he treated customers there. Get everything in writing and don t expect them to stand behind their work or warranty any car you buy unless you do. The parts mark ups are flat out robbery. While most of the work they did for me was adequate I feel that I was routinely overcharged for billing hours. They are all about the money and are happy to extract yours. I recognize many of the people rating this place 5 stars as employees. Forewarned is forearmed!

We have had our car stored here for 2 years! This place is amazing. They do everything! They are very very reasonable in comparison to anywhere else to store a classic car. My husband and I just recently got the chance to tour the facility with Al and it really is amazing the amount of care and effort they put into storing the cars and fixing them. We are planning on getting some work done in the fall this year with them. I can't recommend enough!

Amazing experience! Bought a stunning '68 C10 from The Classic Auto Factory in DeKalb. The restoration is flawless, and the truck was well-documented. Smooth out-of-state purchase. Highly recommended!

The Classic Auto Factory truly exceeded my expectations! Their skilled team transformed my '56 Chevrolet Bel Air with their expert repair, paint, bodywork, and interior services. This place is a haven for classic car owners in McGirr and nearby areas! I highly recommend.

I was recommend by a friend and had an opportunity to meet some of the staff who very friendly. I was pleased with the work the performed and their customer service for my friend. So I took a dive and recently had some work done. I was very pleased with the quality and attention to detail. I would use them again.

Very happy with the customer service, professionalism and quality work. I was kept in the loop every step of the way and they found more affordable options rather than running up the bill. I would definitely recommend them and I will be returning for more upgrades .

I was amazed by the classic auto sales service at The Classic Auto Factory in DeKalb. They sold my 1948 Willy's Overland Jeepster in record time, fetching an unexpected price. "Highly recommended for anyone seeking the best price for their classic cars.

Very awesome shop that Darius has going on here! Great group of folks that work there! It s really cool sight to see what s being built here in Dekalb! What sets them apart and is pretty amazing to see a shop that is doing it all from service, builds, storage, sales, etc. all under one roof. I would recommend anyone that is into classic vehicles, or looking to get into classics vehicles should check them out.

I depend on these guys to do all the work on my 95 Vette. Work is very thorough and complete. Store my car here in the winter too! Great value.

Classic Auto Factory = Crappic Auto FuctoryI typically save my time spent on giving reviews to the ones who deserve to be recognized because of their outstanding service.It takes a really negative experience for me to take the time to write a review like this, because I know how it can effect one`s business when a simple mistake is made by an employee, or when dealing with an impatient customer.This review is written under completely different circumstances than that, and if you take the time needed to read this review, you`ll understand why I feel they should change their name to "Crappic Auto Fuctory"This review serves as a warning to anyone who might be looking to invest their hard earned money into a reputable business that will make sure you are getting what you paid for.Crappic Auto Fuctory masks their lack of performance, communication, quality of service, and most importantly their promised word, behind a flashy website and some smooth talking.If there`s anything you`re guaranteed to get, it`s a professional B.S. session.Only because Google has a character limit on their review process, I`ll highlight the B.S. (trust me, original review was much more lengthy and detailed than this).Bought a $44,000 Mustang from them.Had issues they agreed to fix before I had flown out to see the car.Issues still there when I arrived 2 weeks later, had to jump start the car, car filthy.I ignored red flags, made a deal with Crappic Auto Fuctory that included fixing original issue.....power steering line busted and hanging from bottom of car, and restoring FACTORY gages to operating condition.Waited 6 WEEKS for them to fix these simple issues (they made excuses parts took forever to get in....more B.S.)Finally get car, battery dead, battery laying sideways because no hold-down was placed on it.Back of car soaking wet from back window trim being sealed with silicone (probably when they shoved the after-market louvers in) and it was shipped in the rain (shipping by them negotiated in deal).Busted "fixed" power steering line after first turn into driveway, "expert mechanics" at the Fuctory installed wrong hard steel line.FACTORY gages the Fuctory was supposed to fix not all working.I`m into over $3,000 just to get the car road safe, and not even done yet.The sold me a $2 can of worms disguised as a $100 jar of caviar.Called the salesman and told him, I understand completely, as frustrated as I am with their lack of honesty and quality workmanship.....that it was my responsibility to inspect the car fully and I wasn`t trying to hold them responsible for the work that needed to be done.....Except 1 thing (nope, not even the agreement made to fix the FACTORY gages)....the power steering line.The B.S. artists at the Crappic Auto Fuctory won`t even reimburse me the $120 for the power steering line fix.$120 out of the $43,999 + the extra $500+ I handed over for the speedometer part they needed.So, I figured I`d give them what they asked for, and I paid myself that $120 to give them this honest review.Your`e welcome!I`d buy my next car from anyone other than the Crappic Auto Fuctory if I were you, and I certainly wish I had!

I ve been storing my Chevelle out here since they opened up this spot. They ve transformed the massive warehouse into an awesome shop, storage space and car display. Planning to get car work done by them in the near future.

The storage facility at The Classic Auto Factory is fantastic! My vintage car was secure under their attentive eyes with a $99/month cost.

Fixed all the small problems I had when the car was pitched. They fixed them all on the first try.
