Weird cars…

When you drive around Madison and your car makes people tilt their heads, snap photos, or say "What is that?" — you're in the right place. We love these vehicles.

At Edelweiss Autowerks, we welcome the oddballs, the orphans, the imports-no-one-else-wants-to-touch. From Yugos and Citroëns to obscure Saabs, ancient French diesels, kei cars, and Eastern Bloc mystery machines — we live for the strange stuff.

We get it. When you call most shops to ask about service for your weird car, you're met with silence, laughter, or a flat-out refusal. Not here. We appreciate weird cars the way their owners do: as rolling passion projects, time capsules, or just fun little anomalies worth preserving.

Sound Familiar? You might be one of us if your glovebox manual isn’t in English. Or if you’ve had to explain what your car is at a gas station more times than you can count. If you know what a Talbot is—or own something that “may vary by continent”—this is your home base.

Yes, We’re Serious About These: We’re not afraid of the stuff others won’t touch. That includes:

  • Vintage French staples like Citroën, Peugeot, and Renault

  • Classic Italian charmers like Lancia, Alfa Romeo, and old-school Fiats

  • The deeper cuts of Swedish design—especially obscure Saabs

  • American oddballs like AMC, Eagle, and Nash

  • The rugged and rural—International Harvester, DAF, even the occasional Trabant

  • Soviet legends—yes, even Ladas and Moskvitches

  • The deeply eccentric—yes, even Messerschmitt microcars

  • Anything quirky, underappreciated, or over-engineered to the point of absurdity

Why People Call Us for the Weird Stuff Because we say yes. We know how to track down parts, we know what we’re getting into, and we actually want to work on your car. That means:

  • No judgment

  • Fast, clear communication

  • Concierge pickup and drop-off

  • A 3-year, 40,000-mile warranty on repairs — that's two years and 28,000 miles longer than the factory warranty on a Yugo, if you're counting.

One Call. No Eye Rolls. Let’s Keep It Running.

If it’s weird and it runs (or used to), we want to see it. Let Edelweiss Autowerks be your haven for the automotive oddities that make this community interesting.
