If you are bringing your car/truck here, read ALL of this first: Ive been there a couple times, first was for body work and a paint job--it was just after the massive hail storm and my little CRX looked terrible. For just $800, they got me a new hood and sunroof, got multiple dents out, and painted it flint black with a metallic clear-coat. Pretty good deal if I do say so myself. When the front end of my car was brutally smashed (and suffered a bit of frame damage), they were able to get me a new hood, reconstruct the bumper, and paint the hood for just under $550. It looked pretty nice given the fact that a couple weeks ago it had looked terrible. Also a pretty good deal considering how much an aftermarket hood costs. It has its cons as well. Upon getting my car back when it was first painted, they did not paint the inside of my mirrors and did not care to paint over the doors key whole. They also painted my entire front & back bumper rather than paying attention to the factory specs which indicate that only the upper half of the bumpers should be painted. Its been a good 2.5 years since then and the paint has held up for the most part. There is some flaking around parts, but nothing major. One other thing to note is that they did a poor job with the primer in certain places that you may expect, like just between the window and exterior door plating, and also between the door and the windshield. All in all though, they seem to be good at what they do--that is, cutting corners in a quality paint job to give you a good price. As far as I can tell, this place is also a hit or miss: on some jobs they will have drip marks and dust under the clear-coat, while on others the paint job will be slick but still of "cheap" quality. If youre on a budget and need a paint job, this is the place to do it. Its cheap, they do an OKAY job, the paint looks nice, and they give you a 1 year warranty on it. Make sure that when you pick it up, you check everything, and to make it look good for years to come you need to wax it once a month for at least a year.

I called them two weeks ago setup a paint appointment for xmas present for my girl. They promised that if I brought my car to them Wednesday night 12/21/16 that it would be done by Friday evening 12/23/16. So I made my plans and drop the vehicle off and payed for it up front. Friday afternoon I call and they inform me that it wont be ready til Saturday morning. Ok no worry right? Call them 20 times from 10:30am to 2pm and Noone answers the phone,no one calls me back. So I go down there and they are closed. Now its the day after xmas and the vehicle we are suppose to be taking on our week long vaction is locked up in this shop. All rental car places are closed. So I cant get my car,I cant rent a car, I didnt get her car back for her xmas which ruined my xmas. Now its 10am 12/26/16 still no word , and Im having to borrow a car just to make it to our reservation in time before they cancel our vacation. I promise when I return , the 1st person I speak to hear from my lawyer.

They did a really good job on my husbands truck. No complaints there. But they took some things out of his glove box and console. The only reason they should have been inside the truck was to move it from point A to point B. They have no excuse for even opening any of the compartments. He had work done on the exterior not the interior. So I suggest if u take your vehicle here to get any work done take everything out of it first if you want to keep it. If you dont it might not be there when you pick it up. Not only that...they said we would be able to pick it up on Thursday morning and didnt actually get it back until Saturday evening. But otherwise the body work and paint job was good.

Took my 1965 Pontiac GTO in for some much needed assistance. John and Jerry were very nice, professional and efficient. Felt like old friends instantly. Wanted and only needed to mask it off, do a tiny bit of bodywork and respray same color.. They did exactly what I needed and were finished 4 days ahead of schedule. Paint job was better than I had hoped. They fixed the minor body imperfections and made my old beast look AWESOME. Cost was incredibly inexpensive. Recommend this company and these people to anyone. (They all wanted to keep the car it was so beautiful). Many thanks to Econo.

I wouldnt recommend this lame ass place to nobody my mom took her hood to get re-painted they painted it over but a bunch of specs was on her hood because they didnt sand it so we took it back to get painted again my mom told one of the workers she get off at 5 oclock shell be to get her car when she got off well we get there around 5:20 in there closed which we was told they close at 6 even there website says they close at 6 so she called the next day to tell a worker what happen in he hung up in her face twice & was very smart & rude to her dont go to them go somewhere else...

I went to pick up my car and it was the wrong color. I discussed the situation with the manager and the owner. They said if I didnt pay for it he would file for a title. I paid for the car, but I am very unhappy with the color as it is not the original color of the car as I requested. The door jambs are a different color the the car. I am also unhappy with the manager and the owner because of the way they conducted business. I was told to begin with they would make it right. Of course, that did not happen. I will be sure to spread the word of how they treat their customers!!!!!

I am a single, older woman who had learned to drive and bought myself a second hand car. Within a year my car had serious paint fading on the hood and it was starting on the bumper. I had asked a friend and he recommended this place. The gentleman behind the counter was courteous and clear. I did not spend a lot of money to get the car repainted all over. They called me within the week to let me know my car was ready. My friend and I both looked it over and were well satisfied with the work. It was a good experience from start to finish.

If I could give less than 1 star I would! Th s was for our Harley. It came back LATER than they said, they called on Wednesday said it was done, we go Thursday morning and its not completed it was supposed to been done by Monday. We got it back with a crack in it where there wasnt one before as you can see in the pic, and it was painted over. It had so much over spray, runs, and over aired spray it looks awful! They still charged my husband a lot for the garbage job they did to our fender!! BEWARE OF THIS PLACE!!!
