Who Is Cloverleaf?

Where we came from and where we are going

About Us

In the Beginning:

Cloverleaf was born  in 1975  in a small two bay garage behind my parents house. Located in Havertown PA; I did both paint and mechanical work here. I moved on to a slightly larger 2 bay garage located in Lima, PA  at the first cloverleaf built in the US (where we picked up our name) I pretty much stopped doing paint and body work then but began to do a lot of older and classic cars. I was also doing a lot of work for Roy Levis , Performance Equipment. In 1979  I moved to a much larger shop in Aston PA.

 

The Growing Years:

It was while I was located in Aston that we went from being a general repair shop that did Antique, Classics & High Performance vehicles as a side line to specializing in theses same vehicles. While here Cloverleaf Vintage Racing was born.  Specializing in Vintage race and rally car preparation we went on to compete in local and long distance vintage rallies and vintage race events. Building, preparing & maintaining vehicles for both myself and customers. We still kept our hand in setting up off road vehicles and high performance modifications to newer vehicles. Cars built and maintained by Cloverleaf were winning on the show fields and on the competition circuits

Where we're going:

In 2004 we moved to our present location in Malvern, PA. We now occupy a state of the art 12,000 square foot facility which has allowed us to expand the services we offer. We now have an in-house detailing facility, a 1500 square foot show room where we  have cars for sale.  We now offer long & short term storage. Our restoration shop has expanded too and we do most of our metal fabrication and interior work in-house.  We still prepare and maintain vintage race and rally cars for both ourselves and our customers and our performance shop  offers many upgrades on both classic and the most modern of vehicles. Our service shop maintains and repairs most Imports and Domestic vehicles, including SUV's.

 Our goals are to offer you, the motoring public the finest facility in Southeast PA to have your vehicle repaired, maintained, restored or improved, whether it is a classic 1967 Jaguar E type, 1929 Model A Ford, 1966 International Pick Up or your 2011 BMW 3 series.

 Our staff and our facilities are here to make sure all of your motoring needs are met from the show field to the race track to ensuring your family's safety in your daily driver 

Team Bio:

Ralph Steinberg: President and founder of Cloverleaf Auto Service
 Standing alongside his favorite race car, a very stock 1954 XK120m that races, rallies , slalom and drives on the road. This shot was taken at one of the original Brian Redmond Jefferson 500 races (the rookie stripes were for a co-driver at this event) Ralph runs the race shop and does all of the design and setup work on our competition cars. He is also who you will talk to if you want to upgrade your classic car. Ralph is in overall charge of all of the service and restoration work
Joe Bednar:  Service & Parts Manager

If you need a part for your Austin-Healey or a performance upgrade for your new Mustang you will be talking to Joe. And if you call in to schedule you will most likely talk to him or Ralph. Joe handles all of the performance upgrades on our newer Domestic & Import vehicles. When not sitting in front of the computer Joe is out in the service bays and is our lead technician on BMW, VW, Audi and Model A Fords. He also may be found in our custom radiator shop
David Cohen: Vehicle Sales Manager

David honed his skills in the rough and tumble world of the commodities market where he had his own very successful business. Bringing these skills and market acumen to the vehicle sales world allows Cloverleaf the unique capability to help you invest in the correct vehicle for your collection or help you sell yours. Cloverleaf has world wide connections for buying and selling vehicles and can transport your vehicle anywhere. You may also talk to Dave while scheduling your car in for service work
Jeff Dement: Lead technician - Restoration & Interiors

Jeff has the patience and skills to bring your car to the top of the concurs show world. And is meticulous in the small details that mean the most on the judging field. He also loves Jaguar V12 engines and cars and does the bulk of the repair work on them. When not working on a V12 Jag or restoring a car he is quite comfortable working on your Lexus or new XKF.

Jeff is also an ex-marine (though cut a marine and they all still b bleed marine green) And has served in both Gulf wars and other places around the world. We are very proud of Jeff and his service to our country

Jerry Dement: Custom Radiator Fabrication

Jerry is most apt t be found in the fabrication room taking apart a vehicle so one of us can begin a restoration. He is also the guy most likely to be welding in a new piece of unobtainium he has fabricated for one of us so we can continue working on your car. He is the lead person in our radiator shop and when not doing that work he is quite content to step in and work on whatever needs to be done
Arthur Willenbrock III (Trey): Lead Technician - Engine & Restoration

The only one who has worked at Cloverleaf longer is Ralph. Trey did take off for a few years and moved to upstate New York where he worked for a well respected restoration shop where he continued honing his skills on a wide array of vehicles. Art's attention to detail is legendary, perhaps why he has been asked to work on the restoration of a few war birds now and then. When it comes to MGB & C I am not sure you could find someone with more knowledge on this side of the pond. You also may find him working alongside Jerry fabricating some obscure part we need
