DO NOT Get your auto body paint done at Econo Body Painting and Bodyworks!! (Longwood) We got a deal that turned out too good to be true.. And sadly it really wasn’t. I had two cars to be painted a Honda Civic and a Ford Escape Hybrid. After some price negotiations we came to a price we really liked plus were told we had a year warranty and after that it was prorated. I asked what I needed to bring in to prove that and he said just the work order. First they painted the Civic, it’s not a great paint job but not horrible at the price we paid we thought hey its ok. We didnt notice the over-spray paint on the headlights until much later but even that were going to let slide. Then they painted just the hood on the Escape and since that paint was ‘higher quality’ we had to pay more. They did it and again over spray on the headlights and gaps on the paint near the windshield sprayer and then what looks to be puddles of clear coat on the hood. I pointed that out to Luis. Luis says sure he’ll take care of it but bring it back in a couple of weeks. We got busy and since we had a year to bring it back (or so we thought) we decided we would get to bringing it back in eventually. Fast forward 8 months later we decided it’s time to get this handled. We take it in and since we waited so long it’s now out of warranty. I explained we had a year he said no you only have 90 days on the ‘spot’ paintings. I asked him to show that to me in the paperwork and he wasnt able to. He turned around and was going to CHARGE me to fix work they did incorrectly. I was so infuriated, that I was calm and amazed at the situation. I highlighted the sheer madness of the situation but that fell on deaf and well-practiced ears at swindling people. So unless you want shoddy work and mysterious moving non documented warranties DO NOT go to Econo, it’s a NO NO. --Edit-- The took care of the issues after a few emails with people in there accounting office and BBB Complaint Word to the wise if you go here get the warranty in writing!!!!

What a joke! The sad thing is that the paint job wasnt that bad but the prep was horrible and upon delivery, I discovered that they had scratched the #$% out of my brand new tail lights. They left adhesive material where the badges go, which should have been sanded clean, they just painted right over that. We discussed several items that I wanted to make sure were sanded off, like the gravel sticker at the bottom of the rear fender molding, etc. Nothing was done that I asked except the three dents I paid for to be repaired. When I called about the taillights, I was told to bring them up and they would take a look at them. Two days later, I hadnt heard anything so I called. Another person answered and told me they were replacing my lights and I could come get the scratched ones since I havent been able to drive the truck for going on two weeks now. When we arrived to pickup the scratched lights, it was like there was never a conversation. No one knew why we were there because they hadnt had time to work on the scratched lights. Great customer service right! And they lost at least 5 other paint projects due to this horrible interaction. Stay away!

To be honest I wasnt expecting too much when I brought my car here based on some of the other reviews, but it turns out they did a great job! I brought my car to 3 other places to get quotes and what the other places wanted were WAY out of my price range. Econo Paint was third of the price of the other places. Econo Paint was recommended to me by a friends dad who has been bringing his cars there for years so I thought Id give them a try. I had a small dent and paint chips on a rear door for my 2015 Subaru Forester (Its my wifes car and I swiped a pole) and I was just expecting a patch job. When I went to pick the car up I was amazed at how well they matched the paint and I couldnt even tell where the dent or paint scratches were. In fact there were a couple of other dings on the door that they fixed as well so that was a nice surprise. I dropped the car off one day and picked it up the next day. I dealt with Jim and was he was very professional and just a nice all around guy. I would highly recommend Econo Paint on Highway 17/92 if you need touchup work or spot painting. These guys are awesome!

Well I took my car here to get painted that was in real bad shape as far as paint goes and several dents and deep scratches. The hood was peeling real bad to where you can see the metal and the driver door was a different color from the car. They took my car in and was done in 3 days. At first glance the car looked perfect. They took care of most dents and the paint looked awesome and shiny. For the price I was very happy. Then when I got home I noticed how dirty the car had gotten inside and out. I cleaned the inside. I just lightly rinsed and shamied the outside and noticed all of the imperfections. 2 really rough spots on the front bumper and the hood starting to peel again and lots of air bubbles. During the job they had called me and told me about the hood been bondoed and its going to have imperfections when theyre done cuz they dont mess with the bondo but when I finally did my first wash I noticed all of the imperfections match where the paint was peeling. It seems they just sanded the parts where the paint was loose and left the rest. For now they get 2 stars until I see how they care of this.

Amazing work these guys. Jim took care of my classic 93 twin turbo z which had to be perfect. I was speechless when I saw the work. It was like a restoration job. I will be taking my other car to him as well. He kept me updated me the whole step of the way and didnt over charge me for the car being such a pain in the butt too work on. I added extra body parts along with sealant and cleaRcoat for my preference but my car turns heads everywhere I go. I recommend everyone to econo paint in Longwood. Budget or no budget they will have you looking brand new in no time. Also I met the workers and body men. They are down to earth and love there job. Very friendly atmosphere. I will be back. do not go to any where else you will regret it. God bless Jim and econo for listening and caring for my classic car.

Do not recommend!!! People you got to view the reviews before you take your car to this places!!! At first they (JIM) treat you nice they do the estimated to your car they tell you its gonna be ready in 2 days and i also paid for my dents to be fixed but the truth is i left my car there for a whole week cause everytime i called they said it ill be ready tomorrow so when i finally when to see my car they never fixed the dents and broked my front glass and expected me to take it to my insurance or fix it my self cause they were not responsible for it!!!! Wtf??? Finally they fixed the glass ( not the dents) after all the trouble and pain i went to..... honestly worst place ever!!
