Luke Colman
From the moment I spoke with Phil and his team, I knew my 1973 Porsche 911 was in the right hands. Their knowledge runs deep, and the respect they show for automotive heritage is unmatched. The full restoration exceeded every expectation — right down to the stitching on the seats. I didn’t just get my car back; I got a piece of history, revived with passion and precision.

I’ve worked with several restoration shops over the years, but Auto Fanatic sets a completely different standard. They handled my Ferrari 308 GTB with such care and detail — it honestly came back looking better than when it left Maranello. The team kept me informed at every step and delivered concours-level results. If you’re serious about your car, this is the place.
Henry Lee
I have known Phil for over 7 years through social media and had him customize and upholstery the interior in my Shelby GT350R based off his videos, His craftsmanship is beyond perfection and why I shipped my interior over to his workshop in NY all the way from Wisconsin. These guys are perfectionists!
Gary B
Phil is truly a master of his craft and a die hard enthusiast who eats and breaths what he does daily. I contracted him years ago to restore my 1968 Shelby GT500 to MCA Concours standards and his knowledge and attention for perfection exceeded my expectations.
Francis R
I was referred to Phil through my Ferrari dealership to work on my 458 Aperta to repair some leather wear and redo all of the interior sticky parts. He updated me daily with videos and photos and took the time to explain things I never would understand. The communication and transparency of the process to painstakingly disassemble these cars takes patience and precision and you get what you pay for. The work was completed on time and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend these guys
John Icon
I was referred to Phil and Auto Fanatic through a friend to restore my original 1967 Shelby Cobra 427 CSX 3299. This particular car has sentimental value as it was my best friends car in high school. It was recently acquired and I wanted to preserve the originality while repairing the broken interior and exterior items. Phil is a true artist who redid the interior yet made it look old and original with the wear and patina. He is a master of his craft in regards to preservation and what he can do.
