RW Auto Classics

The guys at RW Auto Classics are top-notch and my experience could not have been better. I was welcomed by Sean on the phone and connected me to Jesse - the lead mechanic and one of the owners along with Matt. I have a vintage Sunbeam Alpine that needed some brake work and a clutch hydraulic leak fixed.

Jesse and crew helped me out of a jam since the car was not drivable and immediately I knew my car was in the right hands. They were very professional and courteous and have very high standards at very reasonable rates. They found ways to surprise me in a pleasant way and consistently "overdelivered" at every opportunity of the project. Very refreshing in this day and age. John did a great job on my complete brake job and clutch problem. After I picked up the car Jesse called me at home that evening to make sure everything was fixed and that I was happy with the work. YES!!

I highly recommend the guys at RW Auto Classics for your classic.

Jesse and the gang have made RW Auto in to a top notch shop worthy of any level of British classic. I had them repair a rusted-out rocker panel on my 1976 TR6 and they did an excellent job. They provided pictures of the issue and provided great communication throughout the process. Their service was fast and the final cost was surprisingly reasonable given the size of the job and the quality of work.

It's become increasingly difficult to find a quality classic repair shop and RW Auto is a very welcome addition to the area.

Separate from the repair work, the shop itself is worth a trip out to Monroe. It's a huge property with thousands of parts for sale covering the pantheon of British autos.

I would feel confident bringing any job to RW Auto and will absolutely be using them again.

We had our backs to the wall when the passenger window in our 1963 MGB fell out of the track. This is not an easy fix. But the folks at RW Auto Classics came through for us! Our MGB felt right at home with all the Jaguars in the shop! In addition, they fixed a fuel gauge issue that no other shop seemed to be able to fix. Very pleased with everything and that we have a resource for British Car Repairs. RW Auto Classics is now our shop for life!

My recent experience at RW Auto Classics has left me a loyal customer for life! In a world of hurried routines and rehearsed sales protocols, it was a stark and welcome contrast to encounter a group of true automotive enthusiasts running their own company their own way. These guys know cars, they are passionate about them, and they took the time to understand exactly what I was working on and what I needed. Matt and the RW staff provided not only exemplary customer service, but considerable technical support. They were also willing to dig in their parts bins and search their yard for the parts I was having trouble finding elsewhere. The bits I ordered from them were well packaged for protection, and the Jag IRS they sent was fully crated (with deck screws!) over the pallet…..probably the best pallet shipping I have ever seen. They checked in with me after the sale to make sure all was well, and they answered every email I sent them. I highly recommend RW for anything to do with a classic Jaguar…..(and I didn’t get any compensation for this post, in case you’re wondering).

I have a Fiat Spider that needed a new starter but getting the old one off is kind of a difficult job. I brought it in to RW Classics and they replaced it for me with no trouble. They have a lot of spare parts on hand and were able to find an original Fiat starter which they tested and lubed before installing. They also replaced some bolts that were missing on the transmission that I was not aware of. Overall it's a great shop with knowledgeable guys working there and I doubt you could find a better place locally to work on an old European car.

This is a refreshing company to do business with. They are very responsive and concerned for your satisfaction and what you are doing with your British car. Highly recommend working with this group for your parts needs or a classic car you are looking for. In over 50 years of buying and selling British items it's really great to find a committed company like RW Classics. Hank

RW Auto Classics:

I have had the fortunate good luck and pleasure of stumbling into finding an amazing gem of a vintage car restoration RW Auto Classics and owner Jesse Rumen. I have an MGBGT that I have been searching for a couple of years for someone to support me in my restoration efforts of my GT, Jesse and his team are amazing and so passionate about their work.

I have found it to be exceedingly difficult to find people who will one work on old British cars let alone who are competent and have capacity to support enthusiast in their effort to restore and repair their classic cars My searches over the last three years, have resulted in being placed on waiting list for 2-3 years, which may or may not happen depending on if the shops continue to be in business or the owner is still physically able to do the work..

When I first met Jesse and his partner, Matt, I was so impressed by their enthusiasm, willingness to set up realistic goals of restoration with benchmarks, estimates of cost at each phase or the restoration work. It was so apparent in our interaction that they really care about their customers and their cars. Jesse offered an opportunity to tour their shop and so I could see firsthand the amazing high-quality work they produce prior to starting the assessment of my car. I have consistently found Jesse to be so enthusiastic about the car culture, creating a family atmosphere with his team and customer base as well as consistently producing superior high-quality outcome for their customers.

Jesse is contagious in his passion for the cars and culture, he is such a straight shooter and understands heritage and the importance of preserving these amazing vehicles. I have had the opportunity to see several cars in process and completed and these cars are so well beyond the quality of their original condition. The painting quality they produce is bar none and is the best I have ever seen, which is amazing coming from a body man’s son. The vintage car community is truly blessed to have such a passion craftsman who are committed to doing such outstanding work that is timely and cost appropriate for the quality work they are producing.

As amazing as RW Auto Classics restoration work is, their commitment to the vintage car community is even greater. What Jesse and his partners are planning for their location is truly visionary, from a club house for clubs to meet, families and car enthusiasts to gather, a track to drive vintage cars, and hosting multiple events for the vintage car community. RW Auto Classics is truly beyond anything that can be found in our state of Washington nor the Western United States.

I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend RW Auto Classics for any support you need for your classic car. I can guarantee you will be well cared for and supported on your classic car journey. An added bonus is you will be introduced to an amazing group of people in our ever-growing vintage car community through the team at RW Auto Classics. Thank you, Jesse, for your vision and passion.

The guys at RW Auto Classics are great. They provided service and inspection on my 1975 MG Midget, and really care about the classic cars they work on. They were also very helpful in explaining how to maintain the car.

I have had R&W fabricate, install, and repair components on my TVR and TR6. I have used them for brakes, exhaust, electrical, steering, suspension and numerous nuisance item.
They successfully repaired all items in a professional manner. They found and repaired a structural crack that others had missed....saved me from a potential catastrophe.
With that said I whole heartedly recommend RW Auto Classics.

First time my MG has had a go over by experts. They resolved the issues and got it running super sweet, Fun to work with and an impressive shop to visit. High recommendations.

Provided parts that were as advertised, quickly and well packaged. Provided excellent support after the sale. Matt is very helpful. I recommend his services without reservation.
