I own a 2000 BMW 323I that had the appearance of a three toned vehicle. This car had multiple dents, scratches and body imperfections. For more than two years, I tried to find someone that would paint the car to my standards, and help me restore the vehicle to the level in which I could be proud. Finally, I took my car to Affordable Auto Painting of Raleigh, NC and I must say that I was blown away with the price, service and superior quality of work. I met the owner and he was as patient and informative as he could be. I live an hour and a half outside of Ralieh, and I made an appoinment to have my car painted there. One Saturday, I drove to Raleigh, but I was not able to get there before closing hours. The owner agreed to remain there until I arrived almost 40 minutes after closing time. He accepted my vehicle and we agreed on a most affordable price that no one had ever offered. In addition to the price, he also threw in a multi-year warranty for the work. Lets say that when my wife arrived to pick the car up, my car was so astonishingly beautiful and perfect, that I could not believe that it was the same car!!!!! Man, am I still blown away and impressed today!!! My wife had a friend drive her there to get the car, and she was so impressed that she made an appointment to have her car painted there also. All of my friends and co-workers who knew how imperfect my car was are now so impressed with the car, that they want to have their cars painted at Affordable Auto Painting of Raleigh. Affordable Auto Painting should seriously consider changing their name to Affordable, Professional Auto Painting of Raleigh, because even at the great price that I paid, I truly received a professional paint job at the most affordable price. Im a fan for life!!!!!!! They have my permission to post the before and after photos of my car, so that you can understand why I am so happy about my car now. Arshad Y. Ali, Timberlake, NC

I dont post reviews often, but only do so when I encounter an exceptional business. I found Affordable Auto Painting through google and Angies List reviews. As I recall, Affordable was the only paint shop to have 100% 5 star reviews, and a great sample size of 45 of them. I shopped around at another shop Econo auto body, which only did single stage paint (like Maaco), and they were trying to charge me almost as much as a 2 stage paint job that Bob had promised me. They did some body work to my 1996 Nissan 300x, stripped the old green paint, and painted it a beautiful ultramarine blue. It looks like it is pretty much new off the lot! I am extremely happy with the quality work they did and will happily recommend them to anyone. Looking at the website, the owner Bob only has a couple unclear pictures of his work. Those pictures do not do his work justice. If you go to his shop, and take a look at the example vehicles he has on premises, the cars are painted just as well as a car out of the factory. If I had a recommendation it would be to include a gallery of more cars he has painted before and after because pictures are a thousand words. But the reviews dont lie. I am really thrilled at the new life instilled into my older sports car and cant stop looking at it! Btw, his shop is a little hard to get to. We had to circle around a couple times. When you get to Capital Blvd stay on the left side at the fork. 100 ft after you will see a bright color sign that says Affordable Auto Painting. If you follow the GPS it might take you to another shop.

My 1995 k1500 suburban has a junk yard hood and was used as a huntingparts storage vehicle when i bought it. I was unhappy with the condition but with my first child and wanting to travel to see family in other states i wanted a big enough vehicle to cart the whole family (wife, child, and two dogs) around. Fast forward a year and I am ready for paint. I could have used another (cheaper route) but i wanted a quality job done on the exterior, and after I went to local body repair shops in my area I was not satisfied with the quality of the work compared to the price they were going to charge. I was recommended to Affordable Auto painting by a few people so I took a trip. After talking to Bob I was impressed with the quality and price of the job so I left it that day. I stopped by a day before I was told it was going to be ready. I was being nosy.....and it was ready. I saw the hard work that the employees where putting into my and the other vehicles that were there. So I came back on Saturday and looked over the vehicle and was not only impressed by the work I thought i only paid for but for the extra attention to detail that was put into the job, door handles were painted, wheel wells were painted, and little trim pieces around the car. The details were what made it. The people who detailed the car made the painter look good. Thank you to all the hard work that was put into this project and my family and I are looking forward to traveling in a good looking car.

Had my car painted with 2 stage paint (base-with-color+clear coat). I decided to repaint, because paint started to peel off all over(not because I had a accident or other type of damage). My car spent most if its life in south east florida (and not in the garage). It is now 17 years old, and I absolutely love my muscle car. I contacted several places in the area, and they had quoted the price that is essentially between 30-50% of the my cars trade in value. I found it absolutely ridiculous and can only be explained because most of them price-fix around how much a car insurance is willing to pay. Clearly those did not make any sense for me. I even posted on a local muscle car forums to see if anybody could advise on local shops, but I did not get any feedback. Then I found Affordable auto painting, called Bob, he asked me to come by to evaluate. Got a quote for the full two stage paint of the same original color, with 2 year warranty. The price was almost 50% below of any other quotes I received. Had my car back in 4 days, and it was just incredible deep shiny uniform paint. no details were missed. And I was just impressed with workmanship, price and speed. Highly recommend to anybody. I rarely write reviews, but this was too good of an experience, not to share.

These guys did an AMAZING job on my car! My car had extensive body damage, several dents and a big chunk taken out of the back bumper from a rear end collision. The quote they offered was very reasonable, and cheaper than what any other body shop had offered me in Raleigh. The quote included body repair work and a new paint job. My car now looks nearly brand new, it doesnt even look like the same car. My friend had her car repaired and painted around the same time, and the shop she went to charged more and kept her car for three weeks. Affordable Auto only had my car for three days and delivered exactly what they promised. I suggest being very gentle with your car the first few days after the paint job. My friend and I were careful even opening the door to our cars, because it takes a few weeks for the paint to completely dry. There is a small smudge on my door handle from when I forgot to be careful in the first two days. Overall, very reasonable rates, amazing work, and exemplary customer service!
