The Karl Kustoms Classic Car Experience

When it comes to classic cars, you know that there’s nobody better than Karl Kustoms. We recently had the opportunity to work with Jorge Trevino, a self-proclaimed ‘picky car guy.’ After caring for so many of his cars over the years, Jorge has a passion for the details.

When Jorge was looking for the next classic to join his personal garage, he was chatting with another car guy who lived a bit further north, up in Iowa. This friend soon helped him find the perfect ride. After spending time dealing with the back-and-forth of information, Jorge traveled over 20 hours to Des Moines, Iowa, from his home in Texas to see the Karl Kustoms’ shop and get to observe the kind of work we do every day. If you’d like to see more of our work, check that out here. While Jorge was here, the team did some paint touch-up work on his much-loved Chevy Bel-Air.

The Passion Behind The Process

In the testimonial, Jorge highlights how the people in the shop have a passion for the work they get to do. He mentions “people who will work on your car as if it was their car”. Throughout the video, he recalls many team members by name and reflects on how their time spent with him and his car helped make his car buying experience memorable. We feel Jorge does a great job highlighting the fun, friendships, and passion that runs through the shop here at Karl Kustoms.

The Showcar Difference

While the trip for Jorge does seem huge just for paint touch-up work, it just highlights the quality and ability of the technicians under our roof. With Jorge’s experience in award-winning show cars, you know he has an eye for only the best. There’s a reason we get to see repeat customers like Jorge with his 55 BelAir and his LS-powered truck. It’s the passion behind the classics that helps to keep them rolling.
