Verified Company
We recently purchased a 1966 Chevy Impala and wanted a thorough inspection by someone who truly understands classic cars. Dorsett Speed Shop came highly recommended by several trusted sources—and now we understand why.
From the moment we took the car in, Dan put the car up on the lift and took the time to walk us through everything. His knowledge, experience, and genuine customer care were top notch!
There were a few minor issues, and Dan addressed each one with precision and care. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled properly and in a timely manner, without compromising the quality of the work.
Dorsett Speed Shop has absolutely earned our trust, and there’s no question—this is where our beautiful Impala will be going for all her future “spa days.”
If you’re looking for precision, passion, and pure craftsmanship, Dorsett Speed Shop is the gold standard. From start to finish, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The depth of knowledge in fabrication and assembly here is absolutely next level—every cut, weld, and fitment is executed with obsessive attention to detail.
What really sets Dorsett apart is the dedication to delivering flawless, high-end builds. You can tell there’s pride in every project that leaves the shop. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overlooked. Every part is carefully thought through and built to perform and impress.
If you want your dream build done right—no corners cut, no compromises—this is the place. Dorsett Speed Shop is the real deal.
“It’s called “Hot Rodding”
If you are looking for a classic Hot Rod Speed Shop, with all the modern technology but old school ethics and integrity, look no further. Dorsett Speed Shop is the place for you. Daniel and crew are highly skilled and honest. His shop is always clean and well run. A reflection of the care and quality workmanship that Dorsett Speed Shop provides. I brought my 57 Chevy show car to him to make it road ready. Daniel’s methodical and careful approach revealed many unknown issues that needed updating and or replacement. Daniel was always careful to bring me in on the issues and explain options for correcting the problems, always cost conscious, never up-charging. This is a great shop with a great owner/ operator who really cares about each and every project that comes through the door. Great experience, couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Daniel!
Really helped me out of a jam when I got scammed elsewhere. Was honest, fair, and extremely helpful getting my car back together.
You can leave your hotrod or custom with Mr. Dorsett and have confidence that your vehicle will be worked on by professional mechanics and fabricators. Whatever your automotive needs are, you can trust that Dorsett Speed Shop will have you up and running and back on the road in no time. Shop rates are very reasonable for the quality of work they provide. Personally, I would take my car to Dorsett over any other shop. These folks are straight shooters and won't try to push off unnecessary repairs on your vehicle just so they can put more money in their pockets. You can be sure that your repairs and work will be done in a precise and promt manner. They are also quite courteous and respectful. I highly recommend them. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently visited Dorsset Speed Shop to get some work done on my car, and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service I received. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and they went out of their way to ensure that my car was running at its best. They were able to diagnose and fix a problem that other shops had missed, and they did it quickly and efficiently. The prices were also very reasonable, especially given the high level of expertise. Overall, I would highly recommend Dorset Speed Shop to anyone looking for quality car service and repairs. Thank you for your excellent work!"
Danny runs a top notch shop! Dorsett Speed Shop does some of the best custom fabrication, installation, restoration, and car build's around.
I most appreciate Danny for the trust we have built over many years of coming to his shop. He will never steer you wrong or suggest any unnecessary work be done. My car and I both get treated the same as the most expensive car in the shop even though we're certainly not ;)
Can't wait to have Danny take care of the next upgrades to my classic.
So happy to have received a recommendation to Dorsett Speed Shop! They are absolutely the best to work with. Both Danny and Verna have uncompromising integrity. I came to them with an idea on what I wanted done to the engine on my 1968 Camaro. They took my ideas and expanded on them to achieve the goal I was looking for. Everything they touched turned out way better than I could have imagined. In comparison to the jobs they usually do, mine was very small but they never made me feel like my project was insignificant. Since my first encounter they have done several other things on my Camaro for me. Their ability to troubleshoot and analyze a problem is outstanding. I feel like I didn’t just find a great custom shop to work on my muscle car but, I also gained friends in the process. Thanks, Kelly

Thank you I really appreciate the kind words - we always try our best to do quality work
I don't personally go here for the cars, but my guy does. And somehow they find a way to include me by giving me Dorsett swag like tee shirts & tank tops. They're super respectful, kind, & generous as people. One day I dream of getting a car built for my guy & I will 100% be going here just based on the kind of people they are!
