The Mandich Difference

This is Craft.
Not a Car Wash.

Travis Mandich built this shop because he believed Sacramento's classic car owners deserved a mechanic who actually understood what they had — and cared about it as much as they did. Every job gets the same attention whether it's a tune-up or a complete build.

01

ASE Certified mechanics on every job

Certified expertise applied to vehicles that deserve nothing less than the best.

02

In-house fabrication when parts don't exist

We make what we can't source — panels, brackets, custom parts built to fit right the first time.

03

Honest, reliable service — always

We tell you what your vehicle needs and charge what we quoted. No surprises, no upsells.

04

We treat your classic like our own

Travis knows what these vehicles mean to their owners. That's reflected in how we handle every car that comes through the door.

What Clients Say

Sacramento's Classic Car Community Trusts Mandich.

★★★★★

"Travis is the real deal. Brought in my '67 Chevelle with a transmission problem that had stumped two other shops. He found it, fixed it, and had it back to me faster than I expected. This is the only shop I trust with my classics."
