Meet the Master Restorer
Hi, I’m Stanislav Kholodovsky, founder of Kraska LLC.
I’ve spent the last 17 years focused on restoring old cars, specializing in metalwork, bodywork, and paint revival for vintage and rare vehicles. Whether you’re looking to restore a classic car, bring back your muscle car’s original look, or do a full auto rebuild, I approach every project like a piece of art.
In 2023, one of my restoration projects — a 1964 Porsche 356 Carrera 2 — won 2nd place at the prestigious La Jolla Concours d’Elegance.
Clients trust me because I provide full transparency and craftsmanship in every stage of the restoration process. Each project includes:
- Photo documentation of every stage — before, during, and after
- A custom photo album of your restored car
- Hourly billing with full accountability for each hour
- Optional pick-up and delivery service
- Open shop policy: you can visit the workshop in San Clemente anytime to see the progress
