My husband dropped his truck off on a Thursday and they said they would be done in less than a week but they never clarified what week! It took them over THIRTY-THREE, yes, 33 days to paint his truck. He repeatedly called wondering why it was taking so long and occasionally we would drive by and visit our poor, lonely truck. Anyhow, we decided we were just going to cut out losses and go get the truck back without the paintjob and they said, "oh no! Well paint it now!" and we said "dont bother" but in reality they had started painting it (how is this even possible?) and did not finish. We got there and they had painted right over mirrors, license, emblems, and it was ridiculous! While we were there staring in disbelief the manager (or whoever he was) was trembling and sweating profusely (it was very hot out) and trying to place the pinstripes on the truck. We said, "forget it!" OMG...what a mess. And yes, we paid every cent and left very disappointed. Seeing as we were so disappointed and still had to pay while they did nothing to make it up to us....here is your review to make it up to you.

I took my Ford CV at this location over a month ago, just to have a color change , from silver to black , no repairs needed.. They poorly sprayed my car over , missing most of the trunk door jams etc. , silver was still showing when opening the trunk , also, paint over-spray all over the leather seats , windows, and dashboard.. Literally they ruined my car.. Sanded over my chrome door handles and chrome trim . The boss told me , to take the car back to them in about 3 weeks , and when I called back , he banished, not longer worked there .. Now dealing with new manager at this location , still waiting to take it back to be corrected, time will tell , last chance for them to fix and replace damaged door handles.. If Not right , last resort, I have to sue the shop ! Very dishonest people !! , I will follow up on my review for the outcome ! Hope this helps before YOU become the next victim ...

Painted my car for very cheap price and fix all my dents for 300 dollars any other body shop in america would charge you 5 to 600 dollars or more just for a paint job remember people these are 300 dollar paint jobs not 2000 dollar paint job for what they charge the quality give you you cannot complain at all if you expecting perfection take it to the dealership were they charges 3000 dollars... Basically what they do there is make your car looks better than what it was for 300 dollars yes in these days 3 hundred doesnt really get you too far. basically what Im saying is you get what you pay for people if you go to mc.donalds and order off the dollar menu dont expect a steak dinner!!!!

Lets see what I can tell you first, this place did a OK paint job people are right they do get paint on your headlights, and paint on other things like door handles. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE PRICE IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEY ARE RIGHT. Now I haft to go back and have them paint the back because when when they closed the trunk they never let it dry first and now the paint came off. Also the customer service is NOT a 100% When I first came in asking if they took credit cards, the front deck gentlemen was very brash and was irritated saying "NO ONLY CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK". I WILL NOT BE USEING THIS PLACE AGAIN!!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. I had bad feelings about a place called Econo, but got talked into taking my car there. Terrible job, run offs all over the place, dents not touched, paint on headlights. Was driving and my spoiler fell off because they didnt put the scews back on. The mgr, Scott is a jerk and could careless about customer satisfaction. I wish I would have never gone there, Im embarrassed of the way my car looks and when I tell people where I had it painted, I get that, well, what did you expect from a placed called Econo. dont make my mistake, avoid this place at all cost

Horrible place. I took my car there to get painted and i left it there for a week and than went pick it up my car look really bad. I told the guy at the front desk does this car look good to you and he didnt say anything. Im like the whole car looks like sh** moldings are coming out decals are not even put in,interior is dirty,paint looks horrible. I wasnt happy at all with this place its horrible. I will be calling BBB on them they preety much scam you. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR THERE TO GET PAINTED.

Worst place ever. Took my 350z there to have front bumper painted. They got over spray on the headlights and tried to get it off with paint thinner. That ended up melting the headlights. They didnt tell me this and if I didnt notice they would have let the the car go. I had to get corporate involved to buy headlights. The manager also racked up 500 miles on my car to get himself home every day for a week in spring hill. Bad bad bad news!!!!!!!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!! Very unprofessional, drip marks every where took back 4 times and at the end they did not want to deal with me anymore. Initially they painted my car purple, then wrong blue but I was so fed up and tired I just left it. My friends asked me if I painted it. Looks so bad that I may have to take to get repainted somewhere else. Tried to complain to the main corp offices and can not get any info.

TLWR version: Dont go here. You wont receive quality. I asked to get my left rear and light replaced with the bumper repainted and now it doesnt work. They left the old light in my trunk, along with a cardboard box. They didnt replace that clear sticker thing. My car looks like butt, when they told me theyd make it look like it as before my accident. They lied.

Had body work done here after someone vandalized my SUV.. I had the whole car painted also.. All for under $500...That was in July 2009. Its August 2011 now and my car still looks like brand New.. I couldnt be happier with the quality and the price.. I dealt with Howard the manager back then.. Great overall experience!

Fair, honest work. Great price. Good for older cars, or something you want to look good without spending a lot of money. Basically -- fair jobs with excellent prices. If you are looking for a flawless job, you WILL pay 3-4x more that what these guys charge. For the money, they are hard to beat.

Took a hood here to get painted. Staff there was very nice and professional. They were able to match my car color and were very easy to work with. I honestly cant find anything to complain about. Nice staff amazing price over all great experience. Will do business again if and when the need arises.

Cmon folks, for the price & quality, none better!! Had my car painted, 1 week ago & very pleased. Ray is the manager, knowlegable, helpful, had my car finished in 2 days, as he promised. Also, their go too girl Tru, is a definite plus for the team:)
