Our service for a safe transport of your vintage car.

Legends for ever

Vintage cars are more than just vehicles. They are automotive legends, they tell stories and they inspire our dreams. At our Vintage Car Restoration Workshop we bring all our knowledge and experience to bear in preserving these legends and restoring them as authentically as possible. Using both finest hand crafting skills and state-of-the-art technologies, we make them last for ever.

Originalgetreue Herstellung von Karosserien

Authentic reproduction of car bodies and chassis

In our own workshop, using the highest level of hand craftmanship, we reproduce parts and components that are no longer available. Our car body construction specialists have decades of experience in this very demanding craft. True experts at what they do, they can reproduce any form, no matter how complex, as a faithful replica of the original.

Patentierter Korrosionsschutz Ro-Dip

Patented anti-corrosion protection

Our patented Oldtimer-Ro-Dip process for vintage cars enables us to safeguard newly restored vintage bodywork against corrosion, providing 100% protection over the car’s entire lifetime. The process combines cathodic dip coating with a special rotation method that allows the coating to penetrate fully into all cavities.

Wiederherstellung historischer Lacke

Reproduction of historical paints

With the aid of computer-operated measuring devices and drawing on our decades of experience, we determine the perfect colour and paint composition for your vintage car, and carry out the painting work in our own paint shop.

Konservierung mit Ölen und Wachsen

Conservation with oils and waxes

We can also provide lasting protection against rust for an existing car body that does not require full restoration. After a preliminary treatment with dry ice blasting and endoscopic examination, we apply a sealing coat of oils and waxes specially designed for your vintage or classic car. Learn more

Feedback from our customers

“Mr. Schad possesses the ability to cross over and take on the customer perspective. He is supportive and truly tries to understand the objective each customer is pursuing. He considers a number of solutions and evaluates the best path for each individual case. That is one of his great strengths. My philosophy is – and I always look Mr. Schad in the eye when I tell him this – that I don’t want to have to touch the body again for the next 30 years. When your budget isn’t limitless, you have to continuously weigh up which measures should be taken in which way. The support Schad provides in this process and in the decisions that need to be made is, in my opinion, truly unparalleled. You need decades of experience for that, which is the case with Mr. Schad. I really do feel well looked after there.”

“I had my Jaguar, which has been in my ownership since 1992, restored at Schad. I initially came to have my car treated with dry ice blasting. Then, it turned out that the car boot, including the back wheel housing, was like a sieve. Anything made of sheet metal needed to be repaired. That was back in 2007/2008. I’ve been bringing my car here every year since. They have always been extremely friendly. They have also explained a great deal, showed you a lot of details, and taken countless photos of their work, which has taught me a lot. It has been an excellent experience, very positive. The skill, expertise, and quality of their work are extremely high. I can most certainly recommend Schad.”

“I would recommend Schad to anyone who wants to preserve their vintage car forever. I inherited the car from my father, together with the obligation to look after his prized possession. From the first conversation with Mr. Schad, I felt that we understood one another. He showed me how his procedure would work to give me an idea of which work was essential, necessary, or preferable. Initially, I decided on treatment with dry ice blasting and a full endoscopy. This was followed by an extensive restoration. During this time, I saw time and time again how high the level of professional competence and thoroughness held by all the team members truly is. Here, they complete their tasks, giving not just 100% but 150%. For me, that is Schad’s unique selling point: The faithful restoration of technical, cultural heritage. I was extremely happy with the wonderful result – as well as the very trustful cooperation.”

“A great example of craftsmanship! That passion for detail. Their moderation. I really believe, it was no longer our car. It was their car that they were looking after, and that was how they went about every detail. A wonderful atmosphere, always warm, open, and honest from the very beginning. They always involved us. And it’s not easy to find someone who is prepared to explain what they did, how they did it, and why they decided to do it that way to a half-amateur – not to mention the extensive photo documentation. That really is fantastic.”

“I was looking for someone to carry out a dry ice blasting treatment on my DS. It was already in excellent condition, but I wanted to have a look at the underbody more closely and inspect the cavities with an endoscope. The rust damage wasn’t all that bad, but the structure of a DS is highly complex. They opened up all of the cavities, removed the rusted metal, and renewed and conserved everything immaculately – even better than new. The people here are absolutely perfect when it comes to body construction. I wouldn’t have brought my cars here for years if working with them weren’t as fantastic as it is. A very good working atmosphere and a great willingness to help. It’s a real pleasure to come here.”

“After the restoration of my husband’s Volvo, there was no question that we would bring the Fiat to SCHAD Originale too. We had a great experience there. I believe that they love every single vehicle as though it were their own. And you can tell. I had the feeling that it was in excellent hands. They explained every single step and detail in great depth. Then we received the complete documentation of each step. That was excellent. The overall service was also fantastic. We were able to discuss any new developments constructively. We had great conversations with them, which were very helpful. They really do their work with all their heart. I don’t know what they could possibly do better.”
