Bentley and Crewe-Built Rolls-Royce Restoration & Service at JE Robison

J E Robison Service is skilled at all aspects of restoration, service and repair of postwar Crewe-built automobiles. This includes Rolls-Royce and Bentley motorcars built prior to the 2003 separation of the companies, and Bentley motorcars built from 2003 to the present day. Our company has provided premier independent service and support for these cars for 30 years in Springfield, Massachusetts.

We work on all the postwar Crewe models including the Mark VI and R Type, the SI, SII, and SIII, the Silver Wraith, Silver Dawn and Silver Cloud Series. For newer cars we are experienced with Silver Shadow and Bentley T Type, Corniche and Camargue, and Silver Spirit, Silver Spur, Brooklands, Mulsanne, and Turbo R and Azure cars. Your Continental, Continental GT, Flying Spur, Mulsanne, Brooklands and Bentayga are also welcome here.

For owners of newer cars our workshop offers an alternative to franchise dealers with the ability to follow paths main dealers cannot. For example, we can fit rebuilt or aftermarket struts and brakes to GT-era motorcars. We have alternatives to costly Bentley front end components. If your car is our of warranty those may be important considerations.

We have unmatched cosmetic restoration and custom capabilities. If your wood trim is splitting or showing its age, we can help. We can also do custom inlays and veneers in conjunction with Will Rau and Madera Concepts, the two leaders in the field. We make leather, carpet, and other upholstery to order.

We are one of the few specialists with tools and training to care for the “transition cars” sold between 1998 and 2003 — the Silver Seraph, the Bentley Arnage, and the Final Series Corniche and Azure.

We are proud of our work on vintage Bentley and Rolls-Royce. Many models have become quite rare, and original replacement parts are scarce. We are expert at finding parts, and in some cases, design weaknesses must be addressed. We are proud to offer service innovations to keep Bentleys on the road economically. For example, we have perfected the art of convertible top hydraulic repair on the Azure and Final Series Corniche cars. We developed solutions to address head gasket failures on the Turbo R and Arnage 6.75L models. As problems with vintage cars appear we work to resolve them and our broad experience ensures we are ready to tackle anything that may happen to your fine motorcar.
