Bob's Top Shop is an automotive restyling business founded in 1973 by Robert Nardine and is proud to be starting their 35th year in business. Bob's goal has always been to provide his customers a unique, customized vehicle. Bob began his career in the automotive restyling industry in 1959 as a shop helper in an upholstery shop in St. Albans, Vermont. While attending high school and the University of Vermont, Bob learned the trade from Henry Carmon, a second generation upholsterer who taught him quality and pride of workmanship. After graduating college, Bob bought that shop and also operated two additional shops in Vermont before moving to Florida.

Bob opened his own restyling company in Merritt Island, Florida in 1973 and relocated to Orlando in 1989. Bob's Top Shop is the premiere, award winning automotive restyling shop in Central Florida. Bob has over 47 years experience in the automotive restyling industry. Bob's Top Shop's employs ASE/SEMA certified  technicians for leather, roof treatment, sunroof and accessory installations. Bob's Top Shop uses only the finest materials installed by expert craftsmen to make every job perfect.

In 2001 and 2005 Bob participated on panels to help develop certification questions for the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and SEMA.  Bob has served as a council member on SEMA's PRO advisory council since 2004.
