YOUR KINDRED JOURNEY
Your journey to Kindred ownership starts now.
Discovery
Connecting with Kindred Motorworks is the first step in a truly special experience. Whether through our website inquiry form, a direct call, or meeting us at an event, we make it easy to begin your journey.
Prospective buyers visiting Northern California are invited to schedule a private, by-appointment tour & test drive at our Mare Island facility, where you’ll see firsthand how vintage icons are transformed the Kindred way and experience our builds firsthand. From the start, you’ll be paired with a dedicated Kindred Vehicle Specialist who offers personalized, premium service—listening to your vision, guiding you through options, and ensuring every detail reflects your taste. It’s an exclusive process, designed to be as welcoming and rewarding as the moment you take the wheel of your Kindred.
Reserve Your Vehicle
Secure your build with a fully refundable $1,000 pre-order. You can reserve online, by phone, or by submitting an inquiry. Once your reservation is placed, a Kindred Vehicle Specialist will connect with you to review your specifications, answer any questions, and update you on the next available build slot.
Contract Agreement
At Kindred, transparency replaces uncertainty. Your contract clearly outlines your vehicle specifications, customizations, total cost, and delivery timeline. A 50% deposit secures your build slot and places your project into our production schedule. From there, your Customer Experience Specialist will guide you through financing options and keep you updated as your build progresses.
Track Your Build
Milestones Along the Way
Every journey has checkpoints, and your Kindred build is no different. To keep you fully informed, your Vehicle Specialist will share updates at four key stages of production:
-
Teardown – Disassembling the source vehicle
-
Body Work – Restoring and perfecting the body
-
Paint – Applying your chosen finish
-
Assembly – Installing the new chassis and modern amenities
Customer Work Day
As your build takes shape, you’ll be invited to Mare Island for a hands-on experience unlike anything offered by other restomod companies. During your Kindred Customer Workday, you and your family or friends can roll up your sleeves and contribute directly to your vehicle’s build. It’s a rare opportunity to bond with your project, connect with our team, and create lasting memories while becoming part of the story behind your vehicle build.
Final Q&A
When your Kindred is complete, we put it through final testing and tuning to make sure it’s road-ready. Your Kindred Vehicle Specialist will confirm the details with you and coordinate delivery. Whether across town or across the country, we work with trusted transport partners to ensure your vehicle arrives safely and on time—ready for its first drive with you behind the wheel.
Kindred Service
Your experience with Kindred doesn’t end at delivery—it’s just the beginning. Every vehicle comes with a comprehensive 1-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, and your dedicated Vehicle Specialist is always available to answer questions, provide guidance, or arrange service support. We’ve built Kindred Service around simplicity and peace of mind, so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying every drive in your modernized classic.
