Restorations have been brought in by clients, towed in by transport companies, or shipped into the country via Baltimore Harbor. If considering a restoration, please read "Restos 101" page in full before calling us. An educated customer is a happy customer; which nets overall happiness and satisfaction in a thorough resto experience.

Metric Autohaus, inc. has moved from Pasadena MD to Millersville MD.  We have now secured a larger, state-of-the-art facility to better serve our customers.

We are designing a streamlined, clean, and orderly shop to increase the efficiency of our craft. This means that you will still be able to rely on the same quality Metric Autohaus has been known for, only at a fraction of the time it used to take. 

  We are working on all of our current projects while we move. Evenings will be spent preparing the new building, installing tools and equipment, and restoring the new space to reflect a miniature version of Germany. Click on the "facility" page to see more details.

The size of the shop has increased from approximately 2500 square feet to over 6000 square feet. Everything will be able to be done under one roof in an assembly line. Museum grade art, life-sized German Strasse backdrops, and quaint German decor will surround the many different restoration stations within the facility, making Metric Autohaus a one-of-a-kind guild within the classic VW & Porsche realm.

  This move was made possible by our loyal customer base. Everyone's support and friendship is greatly appreciated. We would like to thank everyone involved and all the customers who have been behind us the whole way.

 Art, design, engineering and a deep love and appreciation for all things VW & Porsche is what makes all of us at Metric Autohaus, our friends and family, major contributors to this vision. With 1% coming from inspiration and 99% coming from perspiration, this entire transformation is finally going from a dream to a reality within a month's time. Once completed, that same level of intensity will finally be able to be sharply focused on every single project that rolls through our doors.

-Thanks,

Metric Autohaus Staff & Management

Hard work and plenty of time & patience are what we need to turn this...

...into this.

***New website ALSO currently under construction; check back  for improved  design and a better illustration of before and after pictures, services, art & music, projects as they unfold, and so much more. This new website will be a complete departure from the norm. Make sure to check back occasionally, it is really shaping up to be something really cool.

_________________________________________________________________________

Metric Autohaus, inc. is a ever growing, "must visit" destination for the avid Volkswagen & classic Porsche fanatic.  Many new projects are currently underway, such as a new website, larger facilities, and clubs and organizations to help support our way of life. If what drives your passion is air-cooled, we are the guys you want to know.  People often ask us why we group VW and Porsche; the answer is simple. Ferdinand Porsche created the VW Beetle as Porsche Type 60; and all Porsches and VWs are therefore linked by "blood relation".

 If you are looking for a Restoration, give us a call. We also can review pictures sent via email, and can advise you regarding the best plan of action.  We are currently giving estimates, and putting names on our waiting list.  We are fully booked on restorations until April or May. The waiting list is also growing.  If you are considering getting an estimate or having us get started on that full restoration, make sure to reserve your spot soon, as the schedule fills quickly.

However, if standard service is needed such as tune-ups, brake and suspension work, factory scheduled service, or anything else that takes a few hours to a few weeks to complete; we can certainly fit you in.  Often times restoration projects can be put on hold for paint jobs, waiting on parts, or just the fact that we caught up with all of the client's payment schedules.  These gaps in the schedule make it very efficient and speedy to fit in smaller jobs.  Therefore, the schedule book is always open for smaller jobs. Not many people still drive these beloved cars, so the availability for service work is never a problem. Conversely, not many shops cater strictly to air-cooled VWs and Porsches either, so make sure to call us or drop us an email to see if we can't help you with anything and everything you might need. 

Just like anyone else, we don't just fix, modify, and restore VWs and Porsches. We also celebrate the German marques with many other forms of more conventional art forms. The website, www.metricarthaus.com is still under construction, but will have VW & Porsche art, music, and much more for the enthusiast to enjoy.  We are a part of the growing movement in the VW & Porsche community, and we urge all to get involved in creating a rich, vibrant community of our own, here on the East Coast.  Drop us an email, or stop by, and let us share ideas on how to create the largest, most gratifying VW & Porsche scene for all of us to enjoy.

Would you like to see customer projects in progress? Follow the "Forums" link  and see sand blasting, welding, and whatever else it takes to preserve the cars we love.
