Doc's Garage

Chatsworth, CA · Greater Los Angeles

Owner & operator: Jason 'Doc' Ludwig

Doc's Garage, owned and run by Jason 'Doc' Ludwig, is the shop to know if your project leans electrical or restomod. Engine building, fabrication, and mechanical work are in-house, but the standout is wiring — custom harnesses and electrical work that most restoration shops sublet, backed by a Mobile Electronics (MECP) certification you rarely see on a classic-car shop. Their focus is pre-1980s American cars and trucks.

Best suited for

Pre-1980s American builds with serious electrical or restomod ambitions — LS swaps, custom harnesses, EFI. Less of a concours-correct purist shop.
