David's Rod Shop

Restoring and Maintaining the Fine Vintage Cars

Located in Scottsdale, Arizona, we have the ability to receive your pride and joy at a secure, private shop, or travel to your garage to handle repairs right from your garage or warehouse.
While the bread and butter of David's Rod Shop are Italian marques such as Ferrari, Lancia, and Alfa Romeo, we have experience with a wide range of pre war cars from Bugatti, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce as well as later sports and racing cars from Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Lamborghini. On top of this we are always up for a challenge and have a wide network of resources to approach projects outside our traditional scope.
