Amazing team
Jeff is a great person and just sold me
the best car I’ve ever had in my life
William Dixon
I have worked with Jeff and his team now
on multiple occasions; they have not only
sold vehicles for me, but done AMAZING
mechanical and body work on my
vehicles. They are extremely honest and
want to make certain that every last
detail is of the utmost perfection and to
the customers' satisfaction. It's Alive
Automotive is what every shop should
strive to be!!!

I just purchased a classic car from It's Alive Auto a
couple days ago and it was one of the most
enjoyable experiences I've ever had when buying a
car. The vehicle was represented accurately and
the price was fair and reasonable. I feel as if I've
made a new friend in Jeff Homsher and he has
personally called me since the purchase to verify my
satisfaction with the vehicle. I am definitely a
satisfied customer and will shop with them again.

I had Jeff and team work on my 67
Healey. They removed all the rust under
the car and then they completed a
fabulous paint job. I would highly
recommend Jeff Homsher for all your
restoration needs. Contact me for a
referral or with any other questions
about their work. Thanks Jeff and Crew!

We purchased a 2013 Maxima from It's Alive
Automotive a few weeks ago. We were very
hesitant to stray from the large well known
retail stores but now so happy we did. Jeff is
very knowledgeable about cars and was so
amazing about accommodating the times we
could check out the car.
The sales process was so relaxed and
seamless. I would highly recommend this
honest business owner to any of my friends
and family and will use them again in the
future. #awesomeexperience #greatdeal

I had Jeff and Team do some metal and
body work on my 63 Triumph TR-4. If
you have a vintage car and you need
some work on I would recommend
them. They are very professional and
fair. Jeff wants to know what you want
done and works to accomplish that with
his team. His time estimates and prices
are as close as you could ask for.

Jeff and his team did an outstanding job
on a bare metal repaint of my 67 Jaguar.
I told him I wanted perfect black paint
(which is the hardest color to do well)
and they hit it out of the park. I couldn’t
be more pleased.

My wife and I just bought a 2011
GMC Sierra Denali from Jeff and
his team. We have never had a
better car buying experience.
Whether you are buying late
model cars or taking in the run
down classic for new life, It's
Alive Auto is the place to go!

I should begin by saying..."I never post reviews but I
always read them". I feel compelled this time
because if you are considering using this company
but may be on the fence because its not advertised
very widely, I recommend you get in contact with
these guys immediately! Customer service and
communication was phenomenal throughout me
trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my
truck, paint color, price, time frame, etc etc etc. I got
EVERYTHING I asked for and before the deadline they
gave themselves. Hard working crew dismantled,
prepped, painted, and reassembled within just a few
days. I've had 6 compliments within the first week on
their quality of work and uniqueness of my new
paint. Love these guys. Support this local business!!
Homsh, can I get some matching racing stripes
before I go to Miami next week?
Kevin Brensinger
This place was amazing... :) They fixed
my car door in May 2015.......less
than 600.00 were 2 other shops in
Waterloo Il.wanted 1,500 to
1,700......Big differents. If you want
good honest work give this place a
chance.....Thanks again...

Jeff and crew did some body work
on my car after I was rear-ended.
Quality work at a reasonable price.
Looks brand new!
Sue Schulte Indelicato
Just picked up our 81 Corvette she is
absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks to all of
you for making her so wonderful!
Tina Maxey Shaw
These guys are awsome !! Thier
work is second to none for a small
repair or a complete restoration.
James Shaw
Fantastic job on my car! They were
flexible and easy to work with!
Results were better than I expected.
Thank you!
Barb Rosenbloom
Did great work on my TR-8. They
make sure work is done right. so
happy to have it back on the road
after 3 years. and love the paint on
the hood.
Jim Birr
My brother-in-law and I were close to finishing a
frame-off restoration of a '71 TR6. We wanted the
front and rear ends professionally aligned as well
as have a third set of eyes check our mechanical
work. I called around and talked to several
people about where to get the work done.
Almost everyone suggested I meet with Jeff at It's
Alive. I knew after my first conversation with him
that he was the right guy. He gave a realistic
estimate of cost and time. Jeff kept me informed
throughout the process and made sure I was on-
board with his suggestions. The TR was
completed when promised and at a very fair
price. It drives and he caught a few details we
hadn't fully addressed. I strongly recommend Jeff
and his team and will use them again in the
future. Thanks Jeff!
Joseph Ambrose
It’s Alive Auto repainted my car and it
looks beautiful. Jeff, the owner, was
very personable and kept me up to
date during the process. The car came
back in excellent condition and at a
great price. If you’re thinking of
restoring your car, I would definitely
give them a call.
Paul H
Really great outfit. They did some
complex work on my race car chassis
and then painted the fiberglass
bodywork. Fantastic job in all
regards. Nice to work with sharp
people with tremendous skills
Michael Wirrick
I am restoring a 69 GTO and had to replace
all the parts in the front end. Afterward
took it to a shop to have it aligned, I was
told it could not be done. Which meant they
did not want to put the time in to do it
right. I took it up to It’s Alive and Jeff had no
problem with working on an old car
undergoing a restoration. He was able to
bring the car back into specs, yes it took
more time than a new car but they did it
RIGHT and did not pass the work on to
someone else. I have many old cars and
they are my new go to with things I am
unable to do in my garage. Thanks for your
help with my project car.
Tom Quirke
Top notch place. The clutch went out
on my 94 Rover Mini Cooper. I
searched all over STL to find someone
to help. The owner Jeff went above and
beyond to help me out. He's a class
guy. He fixed all the issues without any
problems. I highly recommend this
place for any automotive issues. They
can fix anything. Check out his shop
and you'll see the quality work they do.
Bryan Wyman
Well where to start....i brought them a HUGE problem,
otherwise known as my beloved 62 Lincoln
Continental, that has never ran right since i bought it. I
had so many mechanics try and fail to figure out the
mysterious issues of this oldie but goodie. "THESE
GUYS" had the experience and patience to really get in
there and diagnose these odd issues i had that were
not by any means common. TRUST ME, take ur car to
them FIRST and save yourself the frustration,
disappointment and $ ud get from a less experienced
team of mechanics! ITS ALIVE are a great bunch of
guys that love what they do and know exactly what
their doing.
Alissa Ferguson
Recently bought a car from Jeff at its alive
auto and couldn’t be happier with the car
and the service. The knowledge that Jeff
offered was really incredible. Very honest
and most helpful. Really can’t say enough
nice things about him. Highly
recommended and thanks again for a
beautiful car!
Geoffrey Hardcastle
I drove from Pittsburgh to Missouri and was
treated like gold. For any person interested
in reconditioned automobiles of the highest
quality and friendly customer service,
please see Geert and Jeff. Best guys ever.

Jason Rauschelbach
Owner Jeff saved me a lot of money and
headaches by inspecting a vehicle at Moto
Exotica (large classic car dealer) near him in
St. Louis. Hagerty Classic Car Insurance (the
best in the genre) recommended him; thank
goodness they did. It took him 3 trips to Moto
to make them get the 1947 Willy's Wagon
running as it should (and as Moto described
in their listing). So if you're buying a classic in
the St. Louis area, this is the guy you want
representing you (unless you go yourself). Jeff
acted in my behalf as a good "attorney"
would, making sure that I got what I paid for.
THANK YOU JEFF!!!
James Manry
I have known of Jeff's passion for classic
cars forever, and have seen his
craftsmanship. Nobody pays more
attention to detail. Can't wait to get my
next car from It's Alive Automotive!

Great place to have your car restored,
buy an antique/classic vehicle or just
admire the showroom!

I just wanted to take the time to let you know what a
fantastic and professional job you and your crew did on my
award winning 1968 Corvette convertible. When
interviewing shops looking for someone I could trust with
my completely restored with exception to the tired original
paint corvette, I felt comfortable talking with you and your
crew. You understand the bond between a customer and
their classic cars. This is an NCRS top flight car that had
worn original paint. Now it has a new paint job thanks to
It's Alive Automotive. All I can say is Wow!! I am so happy
with the end result which is breathtaking with such
attention to detail. Thanks Jeff and crew!
