Everything I have purchased from them has been spot on. Whats in the product description of the product is what you get and then some and I have never had a problem with getting the Same Products that I have purchased in the past for projects as I tend to purchase in bulk sizes as I do small paint jobs I repaint classic tractors and utility trailers as well. USC Icing Polyester Finishing Putty SKU: 9521 I bought a finishing filler 11 years ago and then this fall I used the last of it and had to get some more to finish the job and by George they had it same stuff and formula was the same as well. Finish 1 2K HS Urethane Primer SKU: FP410 Same with the 2kHS primer I purchased 11 years ago kept the can properly sealed as I had purchased a gallon and used it up same time and needed more purchased another gallon and same deal they still carried the same brand and everything was the same on it formula and all quality hadnt changed one single bit. Finish 1 Ultimate Spot/Panel Clearcoat SKU: FC710 Excellent Clear Coat I have used this on many of my projects I Use hardener with it but allow it to air dry I dont force dry my paint allowing it to come out like the old days nice and hard and no chance of chipping or peeling. I still use the good old fashioned chemical paint I know the water borne paint is supposed to be the cats meow but call me old fashioned but I was taught to paint by my old man and his dad taught him and even over seen my being taught as well and 20+ years of repainting tractors and utility trailers and I have not had a single problem with air drying the paint. Sherwin Williams Base Coat I have used multiple Base Coats as well and they all lay on nice and even the metallic lays in even as well. Being as I do buy in bulk I mix up what I need as I am painting so that it doesnt harden in the can as once you mix in the hardener what you dont use will harden up thus leaving a solid paper weight if you mixed up a whole gallon youll have a gallon paperweight. That being said its super easy to mix the paint for what you need and not have to worry about getting the ratios wrong if your an amateur and dont have a paint mixing scale you can use a cup with ratios on it and you cant go wrong on it. The paint is durable as well I painted a utility Trailer 7 years ago it was a mint paint job smooth as silk and glass finish painted it Massey Ferguson red. Laid 10 coats of base and 20 coats of Clear and then wet sanded and then polished her to a smooth as silk finish. Sharpe Finex FX3000 SKU: 8358-1.8 Awesome Paint Gun best Paint gun I ever bought only 1 complaint about it is that on the cap of the cup that comes with it the hole in the center was 2 small to allow for the air to flow in to match the flow of paint going out of the paint gun so I had to drill it out to a 2.2 mm Hole but I ended up buying disposable cups that were bigger having a higer capacity on them I also adapted them with a small ball valve so that I could quickly change the cups out and while I spray on big jobs my helper is mixing so I can keep the gun full I am considering making the switch to a Pot system as I am starting to get more and more work and that is leading to my using more and more paint. The rebuild kits for this paint gun are also very affordable and easily done to change out the needle and the tip took me 2 minutes to do it. Also investing in a gun cleaning kit as well is advised so that you can make sure to get all the little holes cleaned out properly every time. Note: for any amateur painters that are painting metallic paint jobs for the first time make sure your constantly stirring the paint and swirling it in your paint gun as your spraying as well so it maintains the even flow of the metallic as some heavier metallic paints the metallic can tend to settle as you spray leaving an uneven pattern on the items your painting. Since I live less than an hour away I am able to order it online and either I can drive to their shop and pick it up or wait 24 hours or less and UPS has it at my door.

We Stock What We Sell. We have a fully stocked warehouse, unlike other companies who take your order & then have the item shipped from another distributor. They have no control over their inventory and usually dont even know if its in stock or not. They have to look for the tools to ship you after you have placed your order. copy and pasted from their site, this is not true!!! it is miss leading!!! when they order it from the manufacturer they put the order under their name not mine so ups would not attempt to deliver since there was no sign saying auto body toolmart outside...not happy will goes else where for my tools!!!

Horrible service and terrible workmanship on the modified inspection light cart. I went over a month of going back and forth with three different people to try and get something close to what I wanted. When I finally got the stand one of the uprights was welded out of square (1" out in 8"). The qulity of the paint job was also terrible. The overall look of the parts in the box looked like it was made by a Junior High shop class!

I made two orders, waiting for parcel 2 weeks. Got a package with a missing item, the invoice was written that the missing goods will separate sending later. in a result I waited for another 2 weeks and wrote a letter when I get my paid goods, I was told that - they are sent in the first shipment. In short, I still have not returned the money is not the product. I opened a complaint on paypal expect to ....

it says open 7am - 7pm yes is open at 7am but nobody attending. After 5 pm front door is closed and you have to wait until somebody sees you to come over to open it ( 5 mins waiting) then I went to buy 3 items 2 of them in back order non in stock ( they can show that on the web site right) well people use Amazon longer to wait but cheaper and you already know if they have it in stock,

I have ordered many things from here and havent had any issues to date, I am close so occasionally I will order via phone and pick it up later on. I have had them ship items and their shipping is pretty fast. My suggestion is do your homework on the products you are buying first.

The company I work for purchased a tool from this site and paid an additional $70 in freight for 2 day shipping and then it took 2 weeks to receive the tool. I would never purchase from them again.

Unreal amount of stuff available for purchase related to auto body and even some paint. Friendly front desk lady. Call ahead tho or order online. Its not really a retail store.
