About The Position

Velocity and its portfolio of brands are the nation’s leading builders of Re-Engineered Classics™, redefining what it means to own a classic. Our vehicles aren’t just restored; they’re entirely reborn. By blending timeless design with today’s performance, comforts, and technology, we set the standard for how classics are built, owned, and driven. Every product we create is crafted without compromise, honoring the past while delivering the experience of today. Velocity’s Culture and Core Values Success at Velocity requires a “whatever it takes” mentality. We embody grit, demonstrating perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination in the face of challenges. We are adaptable, embracing change, adjusting to new circumstances, and continuously seeking ways to improve processes and outcomes—because growth does not come from comfort. We take ownership, assuming full responsibility for tasks, decisions, and outcomes, whether successes or setbacks, without shifting blame. “That’s not my job” is not in our vocabulary; when one part of our team falls short, we all do. Finally, our ambition fuels our drive to excel, improve, and uphold the highest standards for both personal and professional growth. This mindset defines who we are and ensures our continued success. Overview Velocity is not your typical restoration shop. Our technicians work in a cutting-edge, climate controlled facility, working primarily with new sheet metal. Unlike the nature of collision repair, our team brings custom hot rod dreams to life with high-quality craftsmanship and passion. The talent and dedication of our employees shine through in the exceptional vehicles we produce.
