VALOR RESTORATIONS

REMADE IN AMERICA


FOUNDING


Jeff Logsdon founded the business, essentially, by accident.  Having sold his technology company in 2012, and having too many collector cars for his home garage to hold, he sought out a place to put his collection of Mustangs and Porsches for maintenance and, in some cases, restoration.  When he identified that there was tremendous demand for high quality, integrity oriented restorers in the area, and an unquenchable demand for sentimental restorations out there, he had to start to say, "yes".  Yes to these HUGE, wildly complex projects, yes to making that family dream come true, and yes to what others in the business run from...massive mechanical and cosmetic restorations.  In 2024, with a daunting amount of projects in front of him, Jeff called on his son, Brendan, to come home from Knoxville, TN and help him keep the train on the tracks.  The company has embraced Brendan as it does the apprentices as a great person, leader, but also the future of the business.  Together, this family owned business, has the right blend of youth and experience to be durable and lasting as a business.


THE TEAM & APPRENTICES

The Valor Restorations team of 23 professionals with over 450 years of collective experience, led by a leadership team of professionals with as varied a background as you could imagine, are different from shops that are underexperienced and understaffed.  With business experience and, more specifically, project management and quality control backgrounds, this group of leaders has the experience and determination to tackle just about any project and deliver.   As we build our team out, we make sure to bring in members who understand "yes", and have a passion for finding the "how" that's necessary to differentiate us as a team.  Our Apprentice Program is a four-year, paid program where nominees from local and outside areas are brought in to contribute, but more importantly, gleam an understanding from senior staff on how to do things properly, and efficiently.  The young bucks are a great addition as well as they inspire our older talent and keep them from having to do the, literally, heavy lifting on the project.  With six apprentices supporting our team of 17 veterans, we feel like we're bringing forward a class of experts in a dwindling pool of talent.  We think Mike Rowe would be proud of our program as it fosters development of talent as well as high paying, durable careers for these millennials and Gen Z folks.


CAPABILITIES 


In addition to the overall capability to manage projects, the team has deep experience in mechanical, cosmetic, and and custom restorations.  Experience with converting old systems to new technology is something we enjoy and take a tremendous amount of pride in doing.  We have expert body technicians, world class painters, and mechanical expertise ranging from European exotics, to pure American muscle.  We also tackle soft systems like interiors, are great at wiring systems, and can make a fuel system work like it should.


GOALS


Our goals are not to be the biggest, but certainly for having a reputation as being the best.  We are all perfectionists, and while perfection is the enemy of the good, we always collectively seek both.  We want you to enjoy your experience with us, and we want you to hold us in high respect and an important part of our community.
