Orinda Motors has had a long love affair with classic cars, and the communities within Lamorinda know it well. From our smaller Classic Car Show that is par of the Orinda Association 4th of July Parade, to the large Orinda Annual Classic Car Show in September, Orinda Motors loves to show off the Classic Cars we service, repair, and maintain.
But what drives us?
Is it because these classic cars remind us of our younger years? Yes.
Is it because they don’t make them like they used to? Yes.
Is it because we love the camaraderie of the Classic Car community? Yes.
Is it because our obsession over Classic Cars feeds our love for investing, art & design, nostalgia, and therapy? Yes, yes, yes, and yes!
Lucky for us, we know we are in good company.
According to Allen Pennebaker, the owner of Orinda Motors, “We have been fully engaged in the classic car service and repair business for 15 years. Orinda Motors Service Manager, John Vanek, was the driving force behind this as I had always avoided repairing classic cars. His vision and diligence has made classic cars a significant part our business. As part of this commitment we started the Orinda Annual Classic Car Show in 2005 with Chip Herman.”
The reason Orinda Motors has crafted such a long-standing, excellent reputation for servicing and repairing Classic Cars is because, according to Pennebaker, “Our uniqueness is in our philosophy. We are always honest, and always do what is best for the customer. Taking care of customers is what we do, and servicing cars is only a part of that. Being an integral part of our community is another main component of our philosophy. The main driving force behind Orinda Motors is not money. With this comes the most ethical and well trained staff that exists anywhere.”
