Customer Reviews And Success Stories 1979 MG Midget

Since I first saw a picture of my father's Austin Healey Sprite, I always wanted an English two-seater.

2 years ago I bought a MG Midget that was a "10 footer." I decided to make it a project and bring back the car to its former self.

While having my engine work done at the machine shop I asked about restoration shops. He gave me Netcong Auto Restorations as a referral as he was doing some work for them.

I drove up and talked to Phillip and Hal. I got an estimate and decided I would strip the car down myself and have it delivered to be blasted, metal work done, and then painted. Hal and the crew did a great job replacing the rusted outside metal and repairing previous damage found that turned out to be a little more than anticipated.

The car was painted a beautiful older British Racing Green, giving a more classic look than the 70s type green it was painted in. The car is almost complete now as I have rebuilt the suspension, replaced the carpet, and cleaned every bit that went back in including re-wrapping the wire looms. Now she just needs the engine dropped in.

Good timing as the weather should be getting nicer soon. The car looks like she came off the production line back in the 70's, but with nicer paint!

Thanks again for the work to bring back another MG to be road and show ready.

Customer Reviews And Success Stories 2009 Acura NDX

I needed some body work on my car after someone scraped it in a parking lot.

At the same time I decided to spruce it up with new wheels and "blacking-out" the trim, and de-badging the make and model from the back.

The team at Netcong Auto Restorations did a great job, very meticulous on the paint work, and kept me informed throughout the process.

Today I was at the car wash and the manager - who sees hundreds of much more expensive cars every day - was extremely complimentary about the look of my car.

It's worth the drive, these people care about doing things right

Customer Review Sucess Story- 1954 Austin-Healey 100-4 BN1

Not long ago I picked up my car from Netcong Auto Restorations, boy am I happy!

I took it to them for a new paint job as there was some rust that was developing under the old paint.

As the work began some old damage from an old collision was discovered and... well one thing led to another and I decided that a total frame off restoration was the only proper way to get the car back into shape.

My tired old car underwent an amazing transformation while it was in the capable hands of the folks at Netcong.

The workers were incredible, and the pride they took in their work was something that is hard to find nowadays.

The owners, Phillip and Dana, were fabulous, they treated my baby with all the care I could have asked for.

As for the work, well lets say that I never had any complaints. The mechanical work was done wonderfully, and the paint job is the best I have seen in many years of going to car shows.

They treated me like a member of the family, took great pride in their work; I could not have asked for a better place to have my car restored.

Thanks to the wonderful work they did I am now the proud owner of the newest old car in the world.

2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport

The Alpine audio system is great. I was driving 70+ mph on the Parkway with the top down on my Jeep and sound quality was still amazing. I caught some Rage Against the Machine today on the way to work and I swear I woke the dead!

Thanks again, you made this entire transaction very easy, and the system has vastly exceeded my expectations.

Customer Review - Success Story 1998 Porsche 993 Carrera S


I want to take the opportunity to thank you again for a job well done on the full re-paint of my Porsche 993 Carrera S. It was a complete color change from Ocean Blue to Seal Gray and the type of work Netcong Auto Restorations did refinishing the car in a different color looks as if it was done at the Porsche factory. Precise & excellent work on your part, I get compliments on the car all the time. Last summer I took it to a car show & people were raving about how awesome & shiny the car looks. Thanks and hope to do business with you again in the future and I will surely recommend your shop to anyone who is looking for a paint job or a collector car restoration. Attached is another pic of how nice my Porsche looks.

Best Regards Always,
