HERITAGE CARE
SPECIALIST PRESERVATION FOR COLLECTOR-LEVEL VEHICLES
HERITAGE CARE
Factory-level diagnostics and preservation for classic automobiles.
No shortcuts. No guesswork. Only methods that respect original engineering.
Heritage Care was created for owners who see their car as more than transportation. A classic vehicle carries engineering intent, history and material authenticity that cannot be recreated once lost. Our role is not to redesign that identity, but to protect it.
BMW is our foundation.
Built on deep experience with classic BMW models and OEM diagnostic systems, Heritage Care combines technical understanding with careful preservation. The philosophy extends beyond a single marque — vehicles from all brands are welcome, provided they deserve factory-correct care, respect for originality, and a long-term preservation approach.
THE HERITAGE APPROACH
Every vehicle entering Heritage Care follows a structured process designed to protect originality and eliminate assumptions.
1. Technical Verification — Digital and Mechanical
For vehicles equipped with electronic control systems, evaluation begins with OEM-level diagnostics:
– control module communication analysis
– factory configuration verification
– detection of previous coding or non-OEM modifications
– restoration to factory logic where required
Not every classic vehicle has digital diagnostics — and those cars demand an even deeper level of expertise.
For earlier generations without diagnostic communication, evaluation is performed through mechanical and functional analysis:
– system-by-system inspection
– electrical integrity checks
– live component testing
– inspection of vacuum, fueling and ignition behavior
– assessment based on factory specifications and period-correct operation
In these cases, knowledge replaces software. The same precision applies, only the tools are different.
2.Condition Assessment & Preservation Planning
Every vehicle that enters our workshop is treated as an individual project. Before any work begins, we establish a clear picture of the vehicle’s real condition so that every following step is guided by a single goal — to bring the car as close as possible to its factory-correct condition, within the context of its age and history.
– Originality of Paint and Materials
Evaluating paint and finish is one of the key steps, as it determines how far correction can safely go. We measure and analyse the surface to understand how much protective layer remains and how it can be preserved for years to come. An aggressive approach may deliver quick shine, but it shortens the life of original paint. Our goal is to achieve maximum depth, clarity and reflection while maintaining long-term stability and value.
– Previous Repairs or Restoration Work
Every previous intervention leaves a trace. We analyse what has been done to the vehicle — from repainting to mechanical or electronic modifications — in order to understand where it may have moved away from factory logic. When required, work is directed toward restoring balance and preserving the original character of the car.
– Condition of Interior Surfaces and Trim
The interior is where age shows most clearly. We assess the condition of leather, plastics, switches and details that define the feeling of originality. The goal is for the interior to feel fresh, clean and properly preserved — not like a new replica, but like a vehicle that has been carefully cared for throughout its life.
– Areas Requiring a Controlled Approach
There are parts of every vehicle where experience and judgement define the limits of intervention. In these areas, we determine how far to go to achieve a strong result while preserving authenticity and long-term stability. Every decision is made with the intention that the result looks correct today and remains correct for years ahead.
Our goal is not a short-lived visual trick or superficial shine. The objective is for the vehicle to leave the garage in a condition that feels closest to factory-correct — technically coherent, visually clear, and balanced in every detail.
The difference should be obvious the moment the garage doors open.
The owner should instantly recognise their car, but see it on a level they may not have experienced for years — with depth, presence and a stance that makes an immediate impression.
Heritage Care is a process that restores the full character of the automobile. The result is a strong WOW effect that still feels natural and authentic, as if the car has simply become what it was always meant to be again.
When the work is finished, the goal is simple — that looking at the car brings back the same feeling you had when you first wanted it.
3. Controlled Preservation Process
Heritage Care is not a service completed in a single day, nor a process done by routine. Every vehicle moves through a carefully structured sequence of steps, where each phase begins only when the previous one is done properly. The pace is dictated by the condition of the car — never by the clock.
– Careful Surface Decontamination
Everything starts with deep cleaning that goes far beyond what is visible at first glance. Years of accumulated contamination, old residues and environmental deposits are removed to allow the true condition of the surfaces to appear. Only when the vehicle is properly cleaned can its full potential be revealed.
– Controlled Correction with Purpose
Correction is never performed to chase shine for its own sake. The goal is to restore clarity, depth and proper definition to the body lines and surfaces. Work is carried out only where it truly benefits the vehicle, always respecting its age and history. The result should feel strong yet natural — as if the car has simply been exceptionally well cared for all along.
– Protection of Original Finishes and Materials
Original paint, trim, metals and interior surfaces are treated with the respect they deserve. Protection is not a final step but part of a long-term strategy, ensuring the vehicle remains stable and consistent long after it leaves the garage. The car should continue to look right through seasons of use, not just under workshop lighting.
– Preserving Character and Presence
Every classic has its own identity. The goal is not to erase that character but to bring out the best version of it. The car should look strong, correct and authentic — refined without losing the story it carries.
Everything we do leads to one moment — when the car is moved into the light and it becomes immediately clear that it has regained energy while still remaining completely itself.
The result should be felt instantly. The vehicle leaves the garage with presence, clarity and depth that naturally draws attention, giving the owner the feeling that the car has finally returned to where it always belonged.
HERITAGE SIGNATURE LINE
Nothing is rushed. Everything is done so the car feels right — today and years from now.
4. System Integrity & Final Verification
Once the work is complete, the vehicle goes through a final verification phase to confirm that everything is working together as a whole. This is the point where we make sure the car feels finished — no compromises, no loose ends, no unfinished details.
– Technical coherence check
Systems that were previously inspected or adjusted are verified again to confirm proper operation and stability. The car must be ready to drive, with everything functioning as it should.
– Visual inspection in real conditions
The vehicle is assessed under different lighting and angles to ensure the overall appearance feels natural, balanced and correct. Every surface should belong to the same story.
– Final alignment of details
Small elements that define the overall impression are refined so the car feels complete and settled — not overworked, but properly finished.
When this phase is done, the car no longer asks for anything — just an open road and an owner who can’t wait to drive it again.
HOW WE WORK WITH YOUR CAR
Every vehicle that enters Heritage Care is treated as an individual project, never as just another car in a schedule. Before anything is touched, the vehicle is carefully inspected, documented and evaluated so it is clear where we start and where the process needs to go.
Decisions are never made for speed, but for the condition of the car, its originality and its long-term value. The work follows a calm, deliberate approach — no rushing, no improvisation.
Throughout the entire process, the vehicle remains in controlled conditions, and every step has its place and purpose. When the goal is preservation, shortcuts simply do not exist.
Your car is treated as if it were our own — protected, respected and handled with the kind of care that earns trust, not just results.
WHY THIS PROCESS TAKES TIME
Work at this level cannot be rushed. Every step requires patience, experience and careful judgement, because once original materials or balance are compromised, they cannot simply be replaced.
This is why the Heritage Care process takes as long as the vehicle requires — typically between 2 and 7 days, and longer when the condition, preservation level or history of the car demands it. The pace is never dictated by a schedule, but by what is necessary to do the job properly.
The value of this approach comes from the time invested. Nothing is skipped, nothing is forced, and every decision is made with the long-term condition of the vehicle in mind rather than short-term results.
When a car is treated with patience and respect, the difference is immediate — and the result speaks for itself long after it leaves the garage.
Time is not added to the process — it is what gives the process its value.
WHAT HERITAGE CARE IS NOT
Heritage Care is not a quick service designed to create instant shine and move on.
It is not a one-day cosmetic transformation focused only on visual impact.
What we do goes deeper than appearance. Every decision is made with respect for the engineering, materials and character the vehicle left the factory with. The goal is not to erase age, but to bring the car back to its strongest, most correct form — without sacrificing originality along the way.
We do not chase temporary perfection or aggressive correction that looks impressive for a moment but shortens the life of the car. Instead, we work toward balance, authenticity and long-term stability — so the vehicle looks right, feels right, and continues to age properly.
Heritage Care is built for owners who understand that real quality takes time, patience and experience. The result is not just something you see — it is something you immediately feel when the car stands in front of you.
If the goal is simply to make a car look new for a short period, this is not the right process. Heritage Care is for those who value authenticity, technical integrity and results that remain impressive long after the first impression.
Some cars are cleaned. Others are preserved — and the difference shows.
AFTER HERITAGE CARE
When a vehicle leaves Heritage Care, the result is immediately visible. The car looks sharper, cleaner and more defined — not artificially restored, but elevated in a way that respects its age and character.
Paint regains depth and clarity, materials feel alive again, and every surface reflects careful attention rather than quick correction. The vehicle does not lose its history — it presents it in the best possible form.
The goal is a strong visual impact that still feels authentic. Owners should recognize their car instantly, but see it at a level they may not have experienced before — correct, balanced and unmistakably cared for.
Beyond appearance, the vehicle feels coherent as a whole. Technical systems are verified, protection is in place, and the car leaves ready to be driven and enjoyed.
Heritage Care is designed as a long-term relationship between vehicle and specialist, not a single visit. The initial process creates a high-standard foundation that protects the car for the year ahead.
Because of that foundation, returning annually becomes part of the preservation strategy. Follow-up visits are faster, less invasive and focused on maintaining that peak condition rather than rebuilding it from the start.
HERITAGE PRINCIPLES
Original paint is value.
Factory logic comes first.
Preservation over perfection.
WHO HERITAGE CARE IS FOR
– collectors who value authenticity
– enthusiasts who want specialist oversight
– vehicles with history or unknown past work
– owners who understand that preservation is different from cosmetic detailing
Whether you own a classic BMW, an Italian icon, a British grand tourer or any vehicle with character, the approach remains the same. Heritage Care is open to all brands — because respect for engineering and originality is not limited to one badge.
Whether a car communicates through modern electronics or through purely mechanical systems, the philosophy remains the same: respect the engineering, protect the originality.
FINAL PHILOSOPHY
Heritage Care is not about making a car look new.
It is about keeping it correct — mechanically, visually and historically.
True classics are not transformed. They are preserved with intention, so their story remains intact not only for today, but for the years and owners that will come after.
When your car leaves the garage, it shouldn’t feel different — it should feel right again.
