A classic doesn't want to look new — it wants to look right. Our restoration work in the Algarve runs on that line: original character kept, decay stopped, materials revived by hand. The Morgan, the Mercedes 560SL interior and the classic Porsche in our portfolio all left looking like themselves, only healthy.
Cracked cream leather, a headliner letting go, wood trim gone milky — interiors age faster than engines. We re-stitch and re-trim by hand: seats rebuilt to their original character, headliners re-glued or replaced, steering wheels restored from smooth-worn to factory-touch. Where we rebuild or replace, the work is guaranteed; where old material is cosmetically revived we say honestly that age may keep moving — before we start, not after.
“On a classic I measure twice and repaint never, if I can help it — original paint is part of what the car is, and once it disappears under a new coat, you can't buy that history back.”
Original paint is part of a classic's value — erasing it is the last resort. Single-stage lacquers and decades of sun respond remarkably to measured machine polishing, and genuinely tired clear coats can be chemically rebuilt at our RestorFX centre in Loulé rather than resprayed. When paint truly is beyond saving, our painting side matches the period colour and finish — and only the panels that need it.
Plenty of classics arrive here fresh from a barn, an auction or an inheritance — cars for restoration rather than restored cars. The first step costs nothing: an assessment on the lift, paint measured, materials checked, and an honest map of what needs doing now, what can wait, and what should never be touched. Then the project runs in stages you control.
Yes — interiors, paint revival, chrome-safe detailing and staged restoration projects. The Morgan, Mercedes 560SL and classic Porsche in our portfolio are exactly this work.
Only if you want it to. Our default is character-correct: original surfaces revived, patina respected where it belongs, decay stopped. A classic that looks 'too new' loses something — and often value.
More often than owners expect. We measure first; single-stage paint and tired lacquer respond to careful polishing, and RestorFX can rebuild clear coat chemically. Repaint is the last resort, panel by panel.
With the free assessment: on the lift, paint measured, materials checked, and a staged plan — what's urgent, what waits, what should stay untouched. You decide the pace from there.
Oleg & the team did a fantastic job restoring my 1995 Jeep Wrangler — on budget, on time and exactly as promised, with regular photos and updates throughout. Excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again. 5*
A huge thank you to you and your team! My car has never looked so clean! Just Cars did an amazing job making my car look brand new. It was full of sand, dirt, food — everything the kids could possibly put in it, and years since its last proper detail. Just Cars was amazing. A huge thank you!!
My wife and I have been using Just Cars for a while now and always find the service fantastic — very professional and helpful. They've done numerous things for us, from valet to fitting stereos and mechanical work. Would highly recommend them.
I've had a great experience with JustCars — definitely a place I'll be coming back to! A professional team with friendly, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the quality of their work. Keep it up, guys — wishing you all the success!
The guys did work on the Ferrari and they did a great job — thank you!
Oleg is great. I bought a used BMW X5 from a private seller and the aluminium centre console had a few scratches. Oleg made it look brand new with a flawless wrap. Highly recommended.
So glad I found Just Cars. Oleg and his team sorted a small issue with my car's finish within 24 hours — and they're specialists in every kind of car maintenance. Highly recommended.
We had a tricky problem — removing dried-out vinyl lettering from our van that even the signage company couldn't manage. Alek quickly came up with a solution and the work was high-quality and super fast. Recommended for excellent professionalism.
When you love your car, go to Just Cars!!! What they do is truly amazing. When you collect your car it's better than picking it up from the Porsche dealership — and far better protected. Steven
