Real work. Real materials. No shortcuts.
Bone Chill Garage is a South Dakota shop built around craftsmanship, automotive knowledge, and useful things made with character.
Built from a lifetime around cars, steel, and making things work.
Bone Chill Garage grew from early days in a body shop, years around muscle cars and specialty vehicles, hands-on fabrication, dealership experience, and a belief that useful things can still have a soul.
Built carefully
Every piece carries our name, so we build with attention to the details that make it last and make it worth keeping.
More than a number
Our appraisal work draws on bodywork, mechanics, dealership, auction, performance, and collector-vehicle experience.
No runaround
Clear scope, honest communication, and practical solutions for the person who ordered the work.

Hands-on experience changes the result.
- Real-world automotive and fabrication knowledge
- Reclaimed materials turned into useful pieces
- Independent vehicle appraisal perspective
- Work made for people—not mass production
Different services. Same standard.
Whether we are building a bar, evaluating a vehicle, or helping you find the right used tire, the goal is the same: useful work, honest communication, and a result you can feel good about.
Let’s build something worth remembering.

About BCG
Bone Chill Garage LLC was built on simple, raw principles: grit, metal, and serious craftsmanship. What started as a passion for working with hands and steel in South Dakota has grown into a dedicated shop specializing in custom industrial furniture, handcrafted bar builds, and precision metal fabrication.
We don't do mass production, and we don't build throwaway pieces. Every drum, spool, and piece of reclaimed steel that enters the shop is transformed into a one-of-a-kind statement piece built to last generations. If you can picture it, we can fabricate it.
Beyond the fabrication bench, Bone Chill Garage provides professional vehicle appraisal and consulting services. Leveraging decades of hands-on mechanical experience and deep knowledge of the collector market, we deliver straight-shooting, accurate evaluations for classic cars, hot rods, and specialty builds.
Quality work. Straightforward service. No compromises.
Their attention to detail and commitment to quality truly stood out. We’ve already recommended them to others.
