What started as a one-man panel and paint shop in a small block garage has grown into one of New Zealand's leading muscle car restoration and custom build workshops. Along the way, Real Rides has earned multiple industry awards, including the internationally recognised Mothers Shine Award.

Alongside decades of hands-on experience, we've expanded our capabilities to include CAD design, 3D scanning and 3D printing, allowing us to solve complex challenges and deliver even better outcomes for our customers.

Today, we help customers turn ideas into roadworthy, driveable street machines — whether that's a simple upgrade, a major rebuild or the muscle car you've always dreamed of.

The workshop may have grown, but the philosophy hasn't changed: build it properly, pay attention to the details, and create cars that are meant to be driven and enjoyed.
