This mom and pop shop does it right. Once upon a time, my car looked shiny and new. Then, one Halloween, some @(#*$*)( kids egged my car. The clear coat peeled, and over the next couple of years, the damage spread and spread until my car looked like... Well, lets not talk about it. Its embarrassing. Id heard so many horror stories about Earl Scheib and paint places of that ilk, but Im broke, so a fancy paint job was simply not an option. Plus, who wants to put a fancy paint job on a nearly ten year old Elantra? Not me. So the internet, in its infinite wisdom, led me to Economy Paint. First off, lets just take a moment to acknowledge how awesome it is that this little middle-of-nowhere body shop realizes the importance of having an internet presence! Before and after photos? Yes, please. Reviews? YES, please. By the time I drove my sad little blue car out to Riverside, I felt pretty confident it was in good hands. My car was quoted $250 to prep, as there was EXTENSIVE sanding involved, and $195 for paint. I dropped my car off on a Saturday afternoon, and was told they would TRY to have it done by close of business Wednesday. I received a call Tuesday morning letting me know it was ready to go! Compare that with reviews of Earl Scheib, etc., where peoples cars seem to hang in limbo for weeks at a time! I was nervous about the reveal. People had told me, "Youre NEVER going to be happy with a cheap aftermarket paint job..." But I was prepared to chalk it up to "better than having no paint at all!" I didnt recognize my car. The paint job is excellent. Little dents and dings that previously had a very demo-derby look to them are barely even visible with the new paint job (note: they did not fail to repair these, I never asked them to). It seriously looks like a brand new car. Im so happy with it. Great service, great results. I couldnt be happier. Economy Paint is the way to go.

I was attracted to Economy Paint and Collision due to their advertised low prices and photos on their homepage. I met with Dennis to obtain an estimate for my 2006 Ford Explorer after speaking to him over the phone. Dennis spent at least 10 minutes patiently explaining to me about the technical aspects of painting a vehicle. Upon my arrival, I obtained an estimate. I also enjoyed our conversation as we spoke about political matters related to the armed forces and POTUS’ policies. I felt Dennis was trustworthy, extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Economy Paint and Collision is a family owned business. I later learned that his wife Ann and their son also participate in the family business. I requested my S.U.V. be painted the same colors maroon and beige with pearls. I had at least 25-30 chips in my paint that needed to be filled before the paint job. I enjoyed my conversations with Ann as we spoke about family matters and how she ran the shop giving young men opportunities to work and become skilled employees. Ann treated her employees like family members and she truly demonstrated her care for them. When I picked up my vehicle it was a rainy day so I could not see the exceptional shine I was expecting from the paint job and the pearls I had requested add to my paint. The next day, I washed my vehicle on a sunny day and noticed the beautiful work. I noticed all the chips had been filled and the paint had an incredible shine. I could not be happier with the professionalism, excellence, and attention to detail Economy Paint and Collision provided to me and my 2006 Ford Explorer. -Jeong Ko

This was a great place to get my front bumper painted. I bought a used bumper that was damaged since it was cheaper than brand new. They said the damage was pretty bad, but I still opted to get it repaired and repainted as it was still cheaper than brand new in the end. It turned out great, couldnt even tell where it was damaged before. At first the paint did not match my White Pearl color, and I was told it was very hard to match a Stage 3 paint job, they said the best way would be to also paint the fenders to blend the color in, but I just didnt have the extra cash being a College student. They offered to repaint it for free to try to get a better match, and it turned out excellent. It isnt a 100% match without doing the fenders, the bumper is still a tad bit off color, but its much less noticeable than the first time it was painted. I would say probably around 85-90% match. They will work also with your schedule, which is great since I have school and work all day long. Great customer service and quality! Thanks Dennis!

I do not know where to even begin! I found this place a few years ago and I saved up since then just so I could get my car fixed. I had vandalism and dents and scrapes all over my car and I was worried it would cost over 3000 to even get it fixed. First time I called the place I had great feeling because they were able to work with me rather than take advantage. I have to say this is a very honest shop they actually help you save money! they communicated daily with me and even confirmed about painting certain parts of my car. I went with a lavender pearl for my color and I couldnt have even imagined how it would turn out. I went to pick up my car this morning and when I seen my car I was speechless I got exactly what I was expecting and more! Overall I have to give them 5 stars great service! Thank you guys for this wonderful experience!

EXCELLENT PAINT JOB, PRICE AND SERVICE ! Took a (just bought for our daughter) dark grey 2006 Toyota Corolla S to this shop to get repainted the same color. The dark grey paint they used actually looks better than the original grey paint used by the factory. A mini flake type color that really makes it stand out and look GREAT !. The shop has excellent service as well. They were really friendly, polite and helpful.. They even gave us advise on how to maintain the new paint. The cost was reasonable also. Good price and they did the work in 5 days. My daughter actually picked up the car at their shop. That was the first time she actually saw it. She loved it especially seeing it for the first time and with the new paint made it that much better. We would definitely recommend Economy Paint & Collision.

Being a family owned body shop, Economy Paint and Collision has a very warming and welcoming atmosphere. Other collision repair shops in Riverside that I got estimates were trying to get me to spend more than i really wanted. and to my surprise, with the $195 I had to spend on a paint job, there was no pressure to spend more. Dennis wife (who does most of the prep work) even showed me how to prep and sand the car myself to save me some extra money. with my weekend free, i took her advice and spent the weekend sanding the car. this saved me some cash and actually made me feel like part of the process. for the price I paid in the end, the resulting paint job was well worth the small amount of money i spent. this is a shop that i will take future cars to. thanks!!
