What Does European Car Customization Include?
Customization is the process of shaping a vehicle to match an owner's exact vision—improving its performance, appearance, comfort, or personality. European models require expert-level attention to ensure every enhancement complements the original engineering.
Performance Upgrades
From refined engine tuning to full handling packages, we offer performance solutions crafted for European platforms. That includes suspension modifications for better cornering, brake system upgrades for confidence on Oregon roads, and power enhancements tailored to your driving style.
Exterior & Interior Styling Improvements
Express your personality through carefully designed aesthetic upgrades. We provide custom wraps, updated exterior elements, interior refinishing with luxury materials, and body modifications that highlight the natural design lines of your European car.
Modernization for Vintage Models
For classic European vehicles, we specialize in subtle yet meaningful modernization. This can include updated infotainment systems, improved mechanical components, period-correct enhancements, and tasteful restoration work that honors the character of the original build.
Why Customize Your European Vehicle?
European cars offer exceptional foundations for personalization. Whether you want something bolder, faster, or more unique, customization offers long-term enjoyment and tailored performance for everyday and weekend driving.
Renew Your Connection with Your Vehicle
If a car you've owned for years feels dated or imperfect, customization provides the opportunity to fall in love with it again. Instead of trading up, you can transform it to feel fresh, exciting, and truly tailored to your current preferences.
Boost Performance and Everyday Usability
Upgraded suspension, better tires, modernized lighting systems, and enhanced safety features can dramatically improve how your car feels and performs in Eugene's varied driving environments.
Address Aging Components with Smart Solutions
As certain OEM parts become difficult to source, customization gives you the opportunity to replace outdated components with modern or fabricated alternatives that maintain or enhance performance and reliability.
Our Customization Workflow: Turning Ideas into Results
Successful customization requires collaboration, precision, and clear communication. Our process is designed to give you confidence every step of the way.
Step 1: Personal Consultation & Goal Setting
We start by discussing your vision—what you want to change, what you want to improve, and how you plan to use your car. We evaluate feasibility, provide recommendations, and outline potential customization pathways.
Step 2: Planning, Design & Component Sourcing
After defining your goals, our team develops a detailed project outline. We source OEM+, premium aftermarket, and specialty components from trusted suppliers to ensure every upgrade meets the highest standards.
Step 3: Expert Installation & Precision Craftsmanship
Our ASE-certified technicians complete each modification with expert-level care. From mechanical upgrades to cosmetic enhancements, every detail is handled to ensure durability, safety, and a cohesive finished product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I begin a customization project?
Start by scheduling a consultation. We'll review your ideas, assess your vehicle, and build a roadmap that includes design, materials, cost expectations, and timeline.
What is the typical timeframe for a customization project?
Timeframes vary based on scope. Minor updates may take a few days; larger performance or aesthetic projects can take several weeks. We provide a detailed schedule during planning.
Does customization increase my car's value?
While value increases vary, customization significantly enhances the ownership experience. Performance upgrades often improve longevity, and high-end cosmetic improvements can attract niche buyers.
Do you customize all European models?
Yes. We work with all major European manufacturers—including Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, Volvo, and classic British/Italian brands.
Do you offer warranties on custom work?
Yes. Warranty terms depend on the parts and type of customization. We use high-quality components to ensure durability and stand behind our craftsmanship.
Can you provide pick-up or delivery for customization projects?
Yes, we offer free pick-up and delivery within the Eugene–Springfield area for qualifying projects, as well as service to surrounding towns.
