04 / OUR STORY

A SHARED OBSESSION.
A LOUISIANA SOUL.

A restoration shop. A car club. A place for people who see something special in old metal.

A FAMILY STORY / 1967 GMC C15

BILLY’S BITCH.
A NAME WITH A STORY.

“He was my best friend, my role model, and my brother in every way that mattered.”

Tim remembers his uncle Billy John, the memories that shaped his passion, and the truck that will carry his uncle’s name.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MACHINES

COME FOR THE CARS.
STAY FOR THE STORIES.

A favorite car can start a conversation between people who have never met. A familiar engine note. A model you grew up around. A project you always wanted to take on.

That shared enthusiasm is part of Tacot Garage. Our Instagram introduction says it simply: a car club and restoration shop for serious car enthusiasts.

THE SHOP.

Our climate-controlled repair and restoration space is at 4002 Lavoisier Street in Chalmette. Classic, exotic, collector, and antique vehicles are part of the shop’s world.

THE CULTURE.

Car culture is about more than owning a particular badge. It’s the interest, the questions, and the appreciation for the work that goes into keeping a machine alive.

THE CONNECTION.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see what we’re sharing. If you have a vehicle to discuss, contact the shop directly and tell us what makes it yours.
