SERVICING CARS FOR OVER 50 YEARS!
Here at Mission Rod and Custom, we are a tight nit crew, dedicated to restoring cars back to their former glory! We broke ground in April of 2022 and opened our doors to the public in May of that same year.
​
We lead our shop by faith, and make it a point to share the love of Christ to every person who crosses the threshold of our business as well as treat every new and existing customer like family.
