Everyone the difference is many are being unrealistic in their expectations
Eg a $100k resto for 30 and time frames inline with what they see on thse fox tell shows

Personally though, I do all the work on my own cars (and house) that way its a known quality. I kind of find it strange when people buy a car to restore but pay others to do it all, maybe that's just me?

There are a few I not know about a lot but shonky shops exist, the only way I know is to use word of mouth, I personally don't pay a lot of attention to magazine articles recommending bill bob & Ben the restoration men as I see these as little more than advertorials, and personal experience is the dodgiest work often comes out of the high profile shops.
