CnC Customs & Hot Rods

My Father passed away in December of 2019. Our Family had to arrange the sale of 2 of his classic vehicles (1963 Chevy Impala and a 1957 Chevy Bel Air).
An individual by the name of GARY MATESIC was retained by my Brother to arrange the sale of both vehicles. Gary tried to persuade my Brother that the Bel Air had an offer from one of his "friends" in Austin for $42k and how we should jump on this offer asap, as this was the best deal we were going to get.
Needless to say, I told my Brother to reject the offer, but wanted to get a second opinion, and that's how I stumbled across CJ. His estimate was right on the money and the Bel Air sold for nearly $90k. Essentially, CJ made my family $50k by giving a detailed once over and relaying his knowledge to my Brother (who was the POA for the estate).
I have my own Hot Rod and will be taking it to CJ whenever services are needed, big or small.

If you ever find yourself having dealings with Gary Matesic, especially selling something of yours, keep a serious eye on him and any proposals he may offer up. He claims to have over 40 years appraising and selling vehicles. Clearly he was way off on his estimate or was working an angle for himself.......either way, unacceptable.

I brought in my 1956 Chevy 210 for some maintenance work and for installation of an ac and a stereo system in my baby. These guys are funny, fun guys who really know what they're doing. They worked to get me good deals and kept me up to date without me asking when part deliveries were delayed due to covid. My car is running so much better and the ac looks so nice and doesn't mess up the interior aesthetic and works so well! I'm so happy to be able to drive my car again. This was worth the wait and they really did go above and beyond for me. I highly recommend their services-you won't be disappointed!

I could not have asked for better help and service. I drive a 76 F-250 and finding a shop that employs people that are okay with not having to have a vehicles manual or a diagnostics port are becoming harder and harder to come by. They worked on my steering and a few other parts. I mention the steering specifically because it was a very tricky situation. My truck has previously had its column replaced and a power steering conversion done. Without knowing where all the existing parts came from, they were able to fix it properly and make it stronger than stock. These guys know what they are doing and they are honest in letting you know "we fixed what you asked for but you might want to look into this". A lot of people might take that as an "up-sale" but not here. They seem to mostly deal with vehicles that are 30,40,50+ years old and just want our classics to be as safe and reliable as possible. They are nice guys, easy to talk to and the best thing I have found, they don't talk to you like you are an idiot. They seem to get that someone who takes the chance on driving a truck as old as mine probably has at least a basic understanding of vehicle mechanics. BUT, if you feel the need to ask what something is or how something works, they will clearly explain what your asking without talking down to you. My truck still has a lot of work to be done and I will defiantly be taking it back to them for things outside my know-how. From the owner down to the green horns, all the people there are great guys.

Very knowledgeable about engine builds and Ls swap. Reasonable fair pricing.

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. From the lady at the front to the mechanics in the shop. We had to rewire and pull the engine on a very unique car that requires a lot of extra attention to detail and creativity. I felt that Josh, Donny and the owner CJ really put their heads together to come up with solutions that protected the integrity of my vehicles value. There were some hiccups along the way, but in my experience when you work on custom and classic cars sometimes you don't know what you'll run into until you're elbow deep into the project. They were always fair and honest with me and quick to address issues as they came up. We'll definitely go back for future work as it's always something with classic cars.

I took my 53 to get a window fixed today. Manny and his crew provided me with exceptional service. They were very friendly and got the job done quickly. Im very excited I found this place and will be back for all my classic car needs.

The guys at CnC have always provided great service and quality work! I have a '55 pickup and they are always able to find the parts I need. They are very knowledgeable about classic cars and I've always been more than pleased with the exceptional work they've done!

Let me start out by saying that I have been going to CNC for over a year now, and I have spent a pretty significant amount of money with these guys, so I feel that I can give a pretty accurate assessment of the quality of work one can expect at CNC. I own a few classic cars, but one has been the proverbial problem child. I have a '68 Mustang, which I bought back in 2003 and which I have sunk six figures into - literally - with all of the Mustang "experts" in the DFW area over the past 14 years. I wanted to build a Shelby tribute car that was different from any of the others which one will see at the shows and in the magazines. I bought all the right parts, and the expensive trim pieces, and even paid a pretty penny having all of the paint and body work done. However no matter how pretty she looked, the engine was a HUGE disappointment. Even though it was a gorgeous engine that was built by one of the many "experts" you will find on-line, the thing just didn't perform properly. There was a huge amount of vibration coming from the engine, and when I stomped on the gas pedal the thing just fizzled. In short, I wanted smoking tires, not a smoking engine. Through the years the car bounced from shop to shop, and I tried everything from new carbs to new fly wheels, etc. I had brought the car to Mike and the guys a few times before to sort out some electrical issues and upgrade various parts on the car, and Mike had solved a steering problem which nobody else had been able to fix, so I was comfortable with them tackling the engine. In short, they pulled the engine out, disassembled it and found some major issues which couldn't easily be fixed. They talked me into replacing the engine, and I agreed. Mike built a fuel-injected 347 Stroker for me from the ground up, and we used the best parts we could find which were in my budget. Now, the thing screams and is gorgeous!!! The engine runs smooth and tame around town, and when I am ready to get on it - watch out! For the first time since 2003, I was able to enjoy my car this week. I found myself smiling while driving, and I realized that was all I ever wanted. Thanks guys for putting the smile back on my face again! These guys are THE ONLY experts anywhere in DFW that I will trust to touch ANY of my classic cars - PERIOD!

CJ, worked on my 1956 Mercedes 190sl he did some minor engine work and was the only local guy with the tools and knowledge to install Mercedes classic hose clamps. Friendly, professional all around great guy. I highly recommend his shop.

No doubt, Great place! Brought in my 2015 FRS, Came in with a couple of my own ideas, and got the most honest opinions by CJ and Mike. They didn't dissuade me, turn me down, or push me into other suggestions. The entire time they gave me honest thoughts, nothing more or less. No time wasted, and followed all the right paperwork. I might just have bad luck but i haven't been to a body or performance shop that acts as should-be as CNC. They did my intake, exhaust, custom stealth cut out, tuning, and body work. Just seeing the cars on the lot and the tools available to them, they have the network and potential to do anything you need for a car. Expect to pay for the work, good quality comes at a very reasonable rate. Weigh your choices!

Had them work on my project car doing a new front suspension for my old '47 Plymouth. Looks great and the car drives and handles so much better. When I decide to switch to the fuel injection I talked about with Mike, they will be the place I take it to.

The Pros at CNC CUSTOMS took great care of my vehicle when I needed custom work done on my '55 replicar. I will continue to count on the crew at CNC Customs for as long as I have cars that need great care. They are the BEST!!! Do yourself a favor and check with them first when you need the job done right, the first time. Thanks guys, Tom S in Colleyville

CnC and it’s crew was great, I took my truck there when it broke down and they were completely honest about the diagnostic process and did not hide anything from me. When I had them do work on the truck they kept me updated throughout and were super informative and helpful. Would love to have them do work on my truck again.

CNC customs, your shop for all your automotive needs. I got Sparco hood pins installed on my 2006 Scion TC. They did a great job and have great customer service. I recommend bringing your car here.

I taken my car here a few times for repair and custom work. I have to admit, they are a little pricey, but well worth it. Probably the most professional shop that I have been to. No surprises when you get the bill.

Had a great experience taking my 68 Chevelle to these guys. Manny (GM) and the crew are great to deal with. Will definitely use them again!

Brought my 72 Mach 1 Mustang in and not only did they fix her up but they gave me the best service I have ever had and some awesome pointers!!!

Work has been great and prices are reasonable. The guys there are knowledgeable and easily accessible!

Doesn't look like much from the curb, but the guys inside are really great...!
