Sorry, but no. We will not restore old plates you acquired from elsewhere, or plates that you are currently using on the road. All of our available hours are devoted to restoring our own stock to keep our sales business afloat. Our restoration is done by hand, and some of our work can take close to a year to finish. We don’t want to rush that process along, or stall our stock restoration queue in order to paint other people’s plates. It slows down the rate at which we can get our own restored stock out the door, and that’s bad for our business.
Given that our work can take a year to complete, we don’t want to be responsible for the safe custody of plates that are your property, and possibly already registered in your name. If they are lost or stolen or damaged, we have no way to replace them, and so, we will not put ourselves in any position where we could be held responsible for them.
We used to accept restoration jobs for past YOM clients (it was never advertised), but as of 2017, that service was firmly discontinued.
Here is a selection of license plate restoration services you could try (all USA-based). We have never used them, so we can’t endorse them. This unordered list is not updated regularly:
