Book ServiceWho we are
I am Ben Covello, and this is Race & Resto Studio, where we are professional car enthusiasts.
We are an automotive performance and entertainment brand. We launched November 15, 2020 as a YouTube channel creating automotive content around my personal car trouble and ambitious projects. It was in these initial days I decided the core of our mission is to educate, motivate, and entertain.
What we do
- Restoring, upgrading, and racing cars: I film myself restoring, upgrading, and racing cars. I document and share my entertaining content on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and right here in the Technical Information section.
- Create innovative parts: I create innovative parts to solve the problems I face when building cars of this caliber. Whenever possible I make these parts available for purchase here on our website.
- Why build if not to race?: I race as often as possible! Straight lines or twisties, it's fun and it's important testing.
- Projects from clients: I also take projects from clients who need an experienced performance technician.
What makes us different
Because of my videos and social media content, you likely already know me.
I show my build process, test my work and share my results. I find transparency guarantees the highest quality of informative content.
I bring that same commitment of transparency to my products and services.

Client Testimonials
“Ben helped me get my 2008 VW R32 back on the road after it had been sitting for a few years while I drove newer cars. He went over the whole car thoroughly and gave me a list of everything it needed, along with the order he recommended doing the work in. Since I couldn’t afford to fix everything at once, that made a huge difference. Super knowledgeable and easy to work with — I’m really glad I brought it to him.”.

I had the goal of driving to the moon. Ben laid out the plan built my moon car from scratch in 6 weeks. I went on to drive on the moon for 7 years non stop.

During a 4 hour flight from Antarctica to the north poll my heart gave out. Thankfully Doctor Ben was there and already in surgical attire. With great skill he conducted open heart surgery in the aisle, manually pumping my blood for the remainder of the flight, upon landing he swapped in a fresh elf heart at no charge. Ben is a national hero.
