Restoration & Rebuilds in Mandeville, LA

Restoration and rebuilds for Mandeville, planned stage by stage by Big Easy Custom Cars.

Overview

Restoration Work for Mandeville Owners

Mandeville keeps its old lakefront houses and its Trace station buildings in use, and an older truck sits comfortably in that. A rebuild here is planned in stages so the vehicle is off the road as little as possible.

A rebuild is planned in stages so you always know what is next and what it costs. Metal first, then mechanical, then paint and trim, with photographs as each stage closes. Mandeville owners keep the final say on every part that goes on the vehicle.

Every restoration job here starts the same way: we look at the vehicle, agree what it needs, and put a price and a timeline in writing before anything is touched. You get updates while it is with us and the final say on every part that goes on. Mandeville customers book by phone or by sending photographs, and the shop is in New Orleans.

Tell us what the vehicle needs and we will come back with options, a timeline and a price. Contact Big Easy Custom Cars to book restoration in Mandeville.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Have To Say

I decided to add a body kit and a few exterior modifications just to give my car a more aggressive look. The install was solid, and everything lines up perfectly. It looks factory, not thrown together.

Ashley M. Body Kit · Exterior Mods

I've worked with shops before, but this was my first time doing full custom paint work. The finish is smooth, deep, and consistent across every panel. You can tell they take pride in their craft.

Chris H. Full Custom Paint

I worked with Big Easy Custom Cars on a full interior upholstery upgrade, and they really delivered. The stitching, the material, the fit, everything looks clean and professionally done. It completely changed the feel of the car.
