Preserving Automotive History: How Wheelers Family Auto Group Excels in Servicing Collector Cars

Every automobile enthusiast knows the joy of owning and caring for a collector car. These exceptional vehicles embody history, craftsmanship, and a passion for automotive excellence. As we celebrate Collector Car Appreciation Day on July 14th, it’s crucial to highlight the significance of regular maintenance and the role that Wheelers Family Auto Group plays in preserving these automotive treasures. With their expertise, dedication, and commitment to quality service, Wheelers Family Auto Group stands out as a trusted partner for collectors seeking to keep their prized possessions in top condition.

“We do get a fair amount of collector cars in our service department. We give collector cars the white glove treatment,” said Bill McKenzie, Service Manager at Wheelers. “We store them inside and only technicians with collector car experience work with the vehicle.”

He added that the most challenging part of working with collector cars is finding parts. “Manufacturers are only required to provide parts for 10 years,” he said, adding that older vehicles have a carburetor. “They quit making carburetors for vehicles in 1986, so many techs have never worked on them. Wheelers has technicians familiar with carburetors.”
