What can I personalize on the Dave's Garage sign?

Every line shown in the personalization fields: Whose garage; Motto line. We carve exactly what you type, and a real person reads each order before it meets the saw.

What sizes and finishes does it come in?

Three sizes: Small 16" x 3.5", Medium 24" x 5.5" and Large 30" x 7.25". Twenty hand-applied finishes, from Dark Walnut and Ebony to Barn Red and White Paint; the carved letters always stay natural wood so the words read clearly from across the room.

Can it say Workshop or Man Cave instead of Garage?

The word GARAGE is carved as part of this design; the name and motto lines are yours. For PAPA'S WORKSHOP or a man cave version, send the wording through the custom request link and we will carve it as its own sign at the same price.

What if I make a typo in my personalization?

A real person reads every order before it is carved, and we carve exactly what you typed, so look the preview fields over once before checkout. If you catch a mistake after ordering, reply to your order confirmation right away and we will fix it before the board is cut.

How long does a personalized sign take to arrive?

Each sign is carved to order in our Kentucky shop rather than pulled from a shelf, and it ships free within the U.S. It leaves the shop in 2-7 business days, then takes another 2-5 days to reach you, and you get tracking as soon as it is on its way.

Every neighborhood has the garage where problems get diagnosed over a fender. Our personalized garage sign makes it official: DAVE'S GARAGE — your resident mechanic's name — carved in warm vintage letters, with FREE ADVICE · OPEN 24/7 set between two carved hex nuts below.

Shop-Grade, Not Showroom-Fragile

Garages are hard on decor: sun through the bay door, the occasional flying glove. Carved solid wood takes it. There's no printed face to scuff — the letters are cut in and finished over, built like the workbench it hangs above.

Set His Hours

Keep the classic motto or type his: By Appointment Only (Honk Twice), Hourly Rate Doubles If You Watch, Papa's Workshop — Measure Twice. If he says it in the garage, we can carve it under his name.
