These are the places where cars are maintained, modified, repaired, and occasionally rethought. Some specialize narrowly. Others work across platforms. All are documented for how they operate, not how they advertise.
Each feature focuses on:
The shop’s background and specialty
How work is approached
The types of customers they serve best
Cultural or technical perspective
The Shops archive exists to provide context.
