Dano The Rust Buster 1652 Southwest 7th Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33060

"Dano is the Picasso of Rust! He brings the old world craftsmanship back. Did a car for our customer and was very pleased with the results."

"Dano is one of very few true craftsman left, in an ever shrinking pool of professionals, and these days he’s needed now more than ever! His talents are vast, and when it comes to rust repair he’s truly passionate! Trying to find help restoring antique cars can be very difficult when it comes to niche skills like sheet metal repair and welding… Many people in the biz are just there to get paid, but Dano deeply cares about the projects he takes on, and is driven by a deep love for the art of automobile restoration, the history, and the family connections to these vehicles that we all hold dear. Classic cars are time machines, and he gets it! He’s easy to get along with, and a blast to be around! I highly recommend his work for anyone trying to save their beloved classic!"

"Lets be very honest, Dano is the man! What a great guy to work with and brilliant in what he does! I first approached him about replacing the floors on my 73 charger. Dano arrived on time and spent close to 40mins looking over the car to assess priority of repairs from immediate to things that can wait. After that moment you immediately knew this guy knows what he's talking about. Overall, his turn around time took 1/10 of what the big body shops around town would take and also at a fraction of the cost! When Dano gets to work, no stone is left unturned. He went through every crack and crevice with a fine tooth comb ensuring his work was immaculate. All of was well worth for what he charges. He's also fully mobile! Great guy and love his work ethic and attitude! You can talk to him about anything and he will suggest free advice. I will definitely see him back soon to clean up this bad girl. Overall he left me grinning when he was finished. Pics as proof. Cheers!"

"If Doctorates were given in auto metal fabrication, Dr. Dano would be Professor of Muscle Car Repair and Economics. In an age when most body shops blindly follow insurance company protocols, simply replacing entire car sections like tinker toys, the art of skillfully welding and nuancing a vehicle’s sheet metal by hand has all but vanished. Dano still practices this lost art. Like the classics he helps restore, he’s an American one-off. An original. He even still makes house calls! He’s a steady operator that took an almost forensic approach to discovering my car’s particular repair needs. He has a unique perspective with almost spiritual insight into his craft. He tackled the toughest part of the job with one fell swoop, and made the rest look easy. All of this after one body shop guy after the next told me to ditch or sell … ride her into the dirt till the wheels fell off … or come up with a ransom of cash. Dano is honest, fair, and reasonable. All rare qualities nowadays. He also understands the repair regimen appropriate to a given vehicle’s proportional value. Thanks to Dano, Americans can still appreciate my classic Chevelle convertible, and marvel at an age when Detroit still produced classics that were the envy of the world. Thanks friend."

"Dano is a great guy very easy going and had great communication though the whole job. hired him to repair some rot on my 442 and he did not disappoint very knowledgeable and takes pride in doing the job correct. he treated my car like it was his own and cared about the little details so people wouldn't be able to tell it was repaired. The best part he came to me so no need to trailer my car to some shop so I could get the run-a-round for months. A+ workmanship"
