I am Laszlo Izso and I am the founder of the Classic Mechanic restoration business. I am a qualified Vehicle Technician with over 20 years experience working with modern, classic, and vintage cars. I am originally from Hungary and I lived in the UK with my wife and family for around 9 years before returning to Hungary in 2019.
We offer you the chance to fully restore and enjoy the car of your dreams, at a much lower cost than doing the same in the UK. Anything is possible and the level of detailed restoration is only limited by your imagination and budget. Laszlo is an obsessive perfectionist and does not and will not make do and mend.

Laszlo did a great job on my Morris 1000, gave a reasonable quote, then booked in for some excellent fabrication work on basically a whole front end and door posts of my Morris and numerous other welding repairs at his little workshop in Macclesfield - the car now rescued, looks original again. Looking at his other excellent work and projects, like the Jag and Issetta, my Morris was a walk in the park! If you need a restoration job doing then look no further than The Classic Mechanic...

I discovered Laz through his website and after reading the great reviews of the Lister Jaguar restoration decided I should talk to him about my 62 E Type. The meeting was fine and after looking around the shop and talking to him I felt I was in the right place. Despite him being busy we managed to agree a flexible start date and we met again at my place so he could see the car for himself before starting. The car was cosmetically very nice but I knew there were hidden problems and had suspicions about the quality of the work before my ownership, little did I know what was to come. I stripped the

Laszlo is without question the most trustworthy, reliable mechanic I have encountered. Testament to this is the fact that he provided regular progress updates. I gave my barely-running R19 to him and a few weeks later I picked it up with an MOT and drove it home faultlessly with a huge smile on my face! Thank you Laz, you've made me very happy! 100% recommended. Look no further!

I entrusted two motorbike projects to Laz at a good friend's recommendation. One of these projects turned into an extensive nut and bolt rebuild. From a 'left in a wet barn' write off, to a showroom condition as new 15 year old sports tourer. Laz has been an exemplary professional: always keeping me up to date, open and honest, trustworthy and a genuinely nice guy to deal with. That's to say nothing of his immense talent in laying his hand to almost anything and having such an eye for detail and absolutely insisting on such a high degree of excellence. Whatever restoration project you have in mind
