About Us

From antiques to classics, minor maintenance to frame-off restorations, we do it all. If you have recently pulled a barn find out of hiding and need to make it show ready or just a few odds and ends on your previously restored classic, we will be happy to do the work. We also do custom sheetmetal  work from chopping tops to replicating original panels. If you want an 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6 liter in a 1958 Metropolitan or an AOD  4-speed automatic behind your 1956 Fairlane 292 we can do that too.  We have two fulltime employees working in the shop. Jon handles the tear-down, reassembly, wiring and mechanical work. While Kevin handles the rust repair, fabrication, paint and body work. We do all of or own paint work in house. Engine rebuilding is sent out to a well known local facility.  We also sell modern and classic gas tanks, radiators, a/c components, heater parts and more.

Metropolitan Restoration Service was established as an extension of a hobby. Paul Reeder, Jr (owner) always had a deep connection with classic cars. His first car was a 1956 Nash Metropolitan, he later drove a 1949 Ford Woody Wagon while attending Bloomsburg University. His son Jon first became enamored with classics while riding in the 1949 Ford.  He then attended Sun Area Vo-Tech his senior year of High School in Collision Repair. After finishing top of his class he was given numerious scholarship opportunities, choosing Penn College for its highly rated academic and technical courses. Taking a position in a local dealership as an assistant shop foreman after graduation , his thoughts soon turned to the cars his father and him had been restoring on the side to help pay for college. Within a year of graduation it was decided to give restorations a serious go. Shortly after, the meager two-bay garage they started in was outgrown and a new facility was needed. The move was made to the current location and has grown considerably since. The addition of younger brother Chris, a business major graduate of Shippinsburg University, was the catalyst of the major growth of the business into parts sales and increased restorations.  We now employ two fulltime employees and have at any given time eight to ten restoration projects in various states of repair.
