Frequently Asked Questions
Automotive International is the most experienced and knowledgeable vintage and exotic car sourcing and restoration facility in the region. We provide comprehensive service for Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley, as well as other exotic cars. We are driven by our passion for detail, commitment to excellent service, and high customer satisfaction.
We are open Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST.
We are open some weekends by appointment only.
We sell, consign, and broker cars locally and worldwide. Our team has spent years developing a comprehensive network of individuals, collectors, and dealers we work with to locate the bespoke cars our clientele are seeking. We also inventory a select number of cars we believe are highly unique or have other outstanding attributes.
We offer a complete array of detailing services from basic wash to comprehensive interior and exterior detailing with full paint correction. We also provide dry ice detailing. The most advanced method for removing dirt and grim accumulated on any surfaces on the car including all the subframe, suspension, and engine components. The process cleans deeply with no moisture and a minimal amount of preparation as the ice does not hurt the areas it is cleaning. We are the only shop in the region with dedicated dry ice technicians focused solely on automobiles.
We can arrange for those services with our select partners who only use the best and latest technologies and products. We also provide paint touch-up and respray services when needed prior to the application of PPF.
We do both services and have prepared cars that have won top honors at Cavallino, Ferrari Nationals, Pebble Beach Concourse, Amelia Island, and other prestigious national shows.

Yes, we do many PPI’s every year on the brands of cars we service. We have two price points and would be happy to discuss them with you. We will not do one without talking directly with a potential buyer. It is important to discuss a PPI before we agree to do one to convey what we do and why we do it a certain way.
The time to income is not compelling but we do it to support the car communities at large. The risk to our shop’s reputation of not doing it properly can be significant so we put the hours in to be as thorough as possible. Our goal is to provide the greatest value at a fair price. We are a full restoration shop also so we look closely at the body, paint, and interior during the PPI.
