Classic Car Garage in Derby
Auto RARA is a specialist classic car garage in Derby, supporting owners with servicing, diagnostics, mechanical repairs, bodywork, paint, fabrication and interior trim. Every job is completed in-house by experienced technicians and craftspeople, with the same care whether it is routine maintenance or a complex repair.
Clients receive clear project updates and access to a photographic build diary. Our wider restoration expertise helps us diagnose problems in context and protect each car’s character, reliability and long-term value.

Our Derby workshop supports vintage, classic and modern classic cars with servicing, diagnostics, repairs and carefully considered upgrades. Every vehicle is handled by our in-house mechanical, fabrication, paint and trim teams, giving local owners specialist support under one roof.


From replacement sills to bespoke sheet metal, our Derby-based team can handle all fabrication and bodywork needs. Supported by skilled body technicians and premium paint systems, every job — whether small local repairs or detailed restorations — is completed to OEM+ standards, delivering a finish worthy of show or concours recognition.
Our Derby-based Trim Studio caters to all local classic and modified car owners, from small vintage car repairs to full interior restorations. Whether restoring original interiors or creating bespoke designs, our craftsmen ensure every stitch, seam, and material choice meets concours-level standards — delivering a finish that looks and feels exceptional

Choosing a specialist classic car garage for servicing and smaller repairs means every issue is considered in the context of the whole vehicle. Our in-house team understands bodywork, interiors, engines and electrics, so repairs are completed with care, accuracy and respect for originality.
Our bodywork team has the skills and equipment to blend new repairs accurately into the existing structure of a vehicle. We match paint colours precisely and return damaged panels to the correct form, helping classic, track and modified cars retain their character, integrity and value.
Interior repairs often demand a keen eye for detail and the ability to source period-correct materials. We are adept at sourcing authentic upholstery, trim, and interior components, ensuring that your car’s interior is restored to its original or desired state. Our commitment to authenticity guarantees that the interior retains its historical accuracy and charm.
Engine repairs are another area where we excel. We understand the importance of preserving the engine’s originality, whether it’s a vintage classic or a modified racing machine. Skilled mechanics will work diligently to repair or refurbish the engine while adhering to the car’s unique specifications, maintaining its performance, and enhancing its longevity.
Addressing repairs in carefully planned stages can make larger restoration ambitions more manageable. We help owners prioritise safety, reliability and preservation, then sequence later work so each repair supports the car’s long-term direction rather than creating duplication or compromise.
