The Shop
Old-school handshake.
Modern-spec execution.
For over twenty years Easy Automotive has been building hotrods, customs and classics in Hayward — molded in the old-style tradition passed down from older generations of handshake and quality work. From street rod to back-road cruiser, we help customers achieve their custom car goals.

What We Build
Hotrods. Customs.
Classics. Restomods.
Twelve disciplines under one roof — fabrication, drivetrain, paint, interior — managed by one shop, finished to one standard.
Hot Rods
01Pre-war steel, modern brawn.
Traditional and modern hot rods — pre-war and early-50s bodies, mated to dependable drivetrains and stance you can actually drive home.
Request quote→Customs
02Built to your spec, not a catalog.
One-of-one builds. We don’t cut corners and we don’t copy off the next shop’s clipboard — your build is yours.
Request quote→Classics
03Respect the metal. Improve the experience.
Classic restorations done with the same care the factory should have. Original look, dramatically better drivability.
Request quote→Full Custom Builds
04Vision to keys.
A complete build managed start to finish — sourcing, fabrication, mechanical, paint, interior, road-ready handoff.
Request quote→Ground-Up Builds
05Frame on a stand. Build a legend.
Bare frame to finished car. Every system new, every bolt accounted for, every panel laser-straight.
Request quote→Restorations
06Bring it back the way it deserved.
Period-correct or factory-spec restoration work, with options to add modern reliability where you want it.
Request quote→Restomods
07Looks like ’68. Drives like ’24.
Modern fuel injection, modern brakes, modern suspension, classic skin. The best of both eras under one paint job.
Request quote→Engine & Transmission
08From stock resto to extreme builds.
From a top-end refresh and tune to a fully built rotating assembly. Custom or stock rebuilds — only the highest-quality materials, every time.
Request quote→Fabrication
09If it doesn’t exist, we’ll make it.
Custom brackets, mounts, panels, exhaust, mini-tubs, frame work — in-house fabrication for everything off-the-shelf can’t cover.
