Auto Trim Design

Auto Trim Design Come to us for all your after-market accessory needs! I'm Todd Hobson, owner of Auto Trim Design.

In 1979 I began working for the company that took auto and truck customization to the masses in the 1970‘s, Trim-Line/3M. I was young and knew that I wanted to do what I had a passion for and that was working on cars and with people who loved them. Trim-Line eventually became Auto Trim Design as our line of products and services increased. We opened here in Charlottesville in 1996 as a small famil

y business working with new car dealerships installing the options their customers desired on their new vehicle purchases. We started out working out of a truck with a trailer that contained our shop tools and equipment and we would do our work on site at the dealers. For the last 10 years now we have had a retail location and offer the public the same quality products and professional installations we offer to dealerships. For over a decade we have been active members of SEMA (Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) and the SEMA PRO Council. We are also a part of Restylers International which is comprised of over 450 members internationally serving the restyling industry. With a combined 56 years of experience restyling cars and trucks, we do each installation like we were working on one of our own. We are real "car guys" that love what we do and it really shows in the attention to detail we give to our installations and your needs and concerns. Our customers love our personal service which reflects the pride we take in our quality of work. Our goal is to do all we can to make sure you are completely satisfied and thrilled with your purchase.

Just wanted to share our new page for our collection.

Thanks for viewing our new page!
We have been collecting classic cars and trucks and doing restoration for 35 years.

Now we are putting more focus on our collection.

The Carboretum changes constantly. We are always on the look for the very best in classic cars and trucks. We really are very thankful that we get to do what we love, looking for the very best cars that we can take to the next level. Some of our cars will remain with us for years and some for only a few months.

While we have specialized in Ford Mustangs Broncos and pick ups for many years we love variety and you might just be surprised with what we have.

We love meeting, Car people and exchanging our stories and memories about the cars that we love and have loved in the past.

While we do have our dealership license, we really only sell five or six cars a year from the collection. If you have a particular classic that you’re looking for or if you have one you need help selling, let us know and we may be able to be of assistance.

Our Premium Paint Protection Film Installed on This Porsche Cayanne Turbo!

This week, we had the pleasure of protecting an absolute icon — the Porsche Cayanne Turbo— with our premium Paint Protection Film (PPF)

The owner wanted to keep that stunning factory finish pristine, especially with the kind of performance this car delivers on the road. So we wrapped the most exposed areas in a self-healing, high-gloss film that’s virtually invisible but seriously tough.

✔️ Self-healing, hydrophobic film – resists chips, scratches & stains
✔️ Installed with precision for a perfect, bubble-free finish

This Cayanne Turbo now has the protection it needs to look showroom-fresh for years — no matter how hard it’s driven. 🏁

Ready to give your cherished ride the protection it deserves? Reach out today to schedule your install. 434-531-5823
