The exact intake your classic car restoration leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Classic Car Restoration — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified classic car restoration lead should tell you
Full or partial restoration of a classic or vintage vehicle, covering mechanical, cosmetic, or structural work, where the intake needs to establish current vehicle condition, scope of work wanted, and who has authority to commission the job.
- Current Condition Vehicle
- Restoration
- Make, Model, And Year
- Own Vehicle Or Have
- Would Like Restoration Begin
- Vehicle Located
The questions your team needs answered
Every classic car restoration intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is the current condition of the vehicle? | Current condition carries the widest weight spread in the catalog, so it's the single strongest indicator of how much shop time and budget the project will realistically need. |
| What type of restoration are you looking for? | Knowing whether the customer wants a full build, partial work, or cosmetic-only job lets the shop match the lead to the right technician skillset before booking. |
| What is the make, model, and year of the vehicle? | Captures the detail in the customer’s own words so you’re briefed before the first call. |
| Do you own the vehicle or have authority to arrange its restoration? | A no-answer here means the shop is talking to someone without authority to commission the work, which is far more likely to stall than a confirmed owner. |
| When would you like the restoration to begin? | Only an immediate start is treated as urgent, so this answer separates ready-to-book projects from long-range planning conversations. |
| Where is the vehicle currently located? | Where the vehicle currently sits determines whether transport or pickup needs to be arranged before any restoration work can begin. |

Built for classic car restoration workflows
| Cliont capability | Classic Car Restoration application |
|---|---|
| Conditional scoring logic | Weighs vehicle condition (running vs. frame-only) alongside ownership authority so a shop can see at a glance whether a lead is a real, actionable restoration job or an early-stage inquiry. |
| Guided video or photo widget | Prompts the vehicle owner to submit condition photos alongside their answers, giving the shop a visual reference before committing a bay to a job described only as 'needs cosmetic work.' |
| CRM routing with lead context | Passes make, model, year, and requested restoration type into the CRM record so estimators aren't starting from a blank intake when they call back. |
| Timeline-based lead segmentation | Separates 'Immediately' leads from 'Just exploring options' leads so sales follow-up cadence matches how close the customer actually is to committing. |
Common classic car restoration lead scenarios
Ready-to-restore, wants to start now
A running vehicle needing cosmetic work, owned outright, with the owner wanting to begin immediately — condition, ownership, and timeline answers all flag this for fast follow-up.
Inquiry before ownership is settled
Someone asking about restoration on a car they don't yet own or control, such as an inherited vehicle or a pending purchase — the ownership authority answer routes this for a lighter-touch response until authority is confirmed.
Frame-only project, still exploring
A frame or shell-only vehicle where the customer is just exploring timelines rather than committing — the low condition weight and open-ended timeline answer set expectations for a longer sales cycle.
Collector coordinating from storage
A vehicle sitting in a storage facility with the owner requesting partial restoration on specific areas within a few months — location and restoration-type answers help the shop plan pickup and scope logistics.

Classic Car Restoration lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake decide which restoration leads deserve a bay appointment?
It weighs the vehicle's current condition and confirms whether the person inquiring owns or has authority over the vehicle, so shops see running, owned vehicles ranked above frame-only or unauthorized inquiries.
What happens if the person filling out the form doesn't own the vehicle?
The ownership authority question carries a much lower weight when answered no, so those leads still come through but are flagged as needing ownership confirmed before a quote is finalized.
Can the intake separate full restorations from cosmetic-only or mechanical-only jobs?
Yes, the restoration type question captures whether someone wants a full ground-up build, partial work, cosmetic-only, or drivetrain work, so the lead reaching your CRM already shows the intended scope.
Does the intake capture where the vehicle physically is right now?
It asks whether the vehicle is at the owner's property, in storage, or at another shop, which matters for quoting pickup or transport before any restoration work can start.
How is urgency represented for a restoration project versus a quick repair?
The timeline question ranges from immediate start to just exploring options, and only 'Immediately' is treated as an urgent signal, keeping true ready-to-go projects distinct from long-range planning inquiries.
Will the intake work for sibling services like performance upgrades or off-road vehicle work?
This catalog is specific to classic car restoration; Performance Upgrade and Off-Road Vehicle Service run on their own separate intake catalogs suited to those jobs.
