Shop Uniforms That Hold Up in the Bay

Auto shop apparel deals with grease, heat, and constant washing, and customers judge a shop by how the team looks at the counter. Sew NC supplies the garments and decorates every order in house in Winston-Salem, with a digital proof before anything is produced.

Technicians can wear embroidered work shirts, service advisors can match in embroidered polos, and reorders are matched to your previous order as the team grows. For help choosing fabrics and fits, see our guide to mechanic uniforms.

Choosing the Right Decoration Method for Shop Uniforms

Shop apparel gets washed hard and worn every day. The right method depends on the garment, your logo, and the size of your order. For a side-by-side look, see embroidery vs. screen printing.

High-Density Embroidery

The standard for mechanic work shirts, polos, caps, and jackets. A stitched logo keeps its shape and color through repeated washing.

Direct-to-Film (DTF) Transfers

Ideal for full color logos and detailed artwork, and cost effective for small runs or orders with different designs.

Heavy-Duty Screen Printing

The most cost effective choice for large runs of one design, like shop tees, event shirts, or car show merch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions shop owners and service managers ask most before ordering uniforms.

What are mechanic style shirts called?

They are usually called work shirts or shop shirts: short or long sleeve button-up shirts in a durable poly-cotton fabric, often with the shop logo embroidered on the chest. The logo placement guide covers the most common logo spots on work shirts. Many shops use the term mechanic uniform for the full set of work shirt and work pants.

Auto mechanics commonly work with greasy parts and tools, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, so most wear a durable button-up work shirt or a shop t-shirt, work pants, and a jacket or hoodie in colder months, usually in darker colors like gray, navy, or charcoal that hide grease and stains. Service advisors at the counter often wear embroidered polos, so the whole shop looks consistent.

Send us your shop logo, the garments you want, the quantity per size, and your deadline. We reply with a quote and a digital proof showing placement, size, and colors, and once you approve it, the order is produced in house. Work shirts, polos, and tees can all be decorated in the same order.

The price per shirt depends on the garment, the decoration method, and the number of colors and locations. Embroidery pricing depends on the size and detail of your logo, and setup is spread across the order, so the price per piece drops as quantity goes up. Minimums are 6 pieces for embroidered work shirts, polos, and jackets, and 12 pieces for screen printing, DTF, and embroidered caps.

Sew NC supplies the garments for every order, sourced from trusted apparel brands, which guarantees how every print and stitch turns out. Customer-supplied shirts are not accepted, but the team will help you choose a durable work shirt, polo, or tee for your shop and quote garments and decoration together.

Sew NC produces shop uniforms from its shop at 121 Back Forty Drive in Winston-Salem, and works with auto repair shops and dealerships across North Carolina, including Greensboro, High Point, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham. Standard turnaround is two weeks after proof approval and payment, and rush production is available for an additional charge.
