About Us

At Ekins Garage, we don’t just restore cars – we resurrect legends. What started as late nights wrenching in a home garage turned into a career bringing people’s dreams to life. Derek Ekins moved from the collision industry to the hot rod industry in 2009 and never looked back! Located in West Jordan, Utah, our shop is where the look of old-school meets modern technology. We tackle everything from full frame-off restorations to performance upgrades and engine swaps. Nearly everything is done in-house – fabrication, body, paint, and assembly – so the same hands that tear your car down are the ones that build it back up. At Ekins Garage, it’s not just about cars – it’s about the stories they carry and the people who keep them alive. We build them to drive, to show, and to pass down – because these classics deserve a second chance at glory!
