What customers said about painting
T M's Collision RepairThis was my 2nd time using TM’s. Both times they were courteous, professional, fast, and do superior work. Car has been returned to me earlier than expected, looking brand new.
Ultimate Finish Paint and BodyGreat and honest work! Have taken multiple vehicles and have got nothing but excellent results, custom work included. Recommend 100% and will definitely be coming back.
Body MasterWe had a great experience with this body shop. Our vehicle had been clipped on the rear driver side by a large trailer. Gaston & his team made it look like new! Perfect repair with perfect paint color match. Super-pleased!
Max Mobile Autobody RepairSam is the best! If you need any body work/painting, he’s the one you need to call. Professional, goes above and beyond to get your vehicle looking like new! I’m so grateful I was able to meet him, I will definitely be referring him to anyone that needs any type of body/ paint work needing to be done! 10/10
Fox AutomotiveWent there against my insurance request who was pushing for a preferred shop but I trusted my gut and followed the advice of a friend who drives a car similar to mine Ryan and his team did a fantastic job delivered my car in timely matter and my 2023 red Audi Q3 looks like nothing happened to it
Ultimate Finish Paint and BodyVery honest and straight to the point approach related to the repair of my BMW as well as helpful administrative initiative with the car insurance company. Also very pleased with the final repair result. Thank you Renee
