I remembered A.C. Automotive from a previous accident my wife got into 7 years ago- because they were fantastic and do amazing work. So when I was struck by a vehicle in October of 2025 they were my first and only choice. And guess what? They are still the best and do amazing work! You will not go wrong trusting they will take care of you. Thanks Nicole!!
I’ve been a customer of AC Auto for 40 years. They have been consistently reliable, honest and on time with all repairs performed for me. I highly recommend this business without reservation.
very good work and very professional!!!
Brought my car there for a fender bender and it came out fantastic. Paint was blended amazingly and there was no orange peel anywhere. Car was clean and looking brand new almost. Definitely give this place a try if you are lookin for an auto body place.
Went to pick up my car almost a week after it was quoted to be ready on 11/19 and they refused to give it to us because of a decal on the car. I told them I do not care about the decal and tried to pick it up anyways. Meanwhile I have incurred $800 in rental car costs at my own expense. I literally only used this…
AC Automotive was easy to work with for our autobody work after an accident. First step was to make an appointment to get the car assessed followed by making an appointment to drop off and leave the car. They work seemlessly with Enterprise for car rentals. The make the call for Enterprise to pick you up while you…
Any issue I've always brought my vehicle here. They do amazing work. They kept me well informed. Fast efficient service.
It was an easy and wonderful experience from start to finish! AC took care of everything and certainly went the extra “mile”!!
Needed to have the passenger side electric mirror and the right front fender mirror replacements and painted and all that goes with it down to a thousand tiny parts and clips. Getting the estimate was quick and painless. Had to wait a couple of months to get into the schedule. Then, as with any high volume consumer…
Excellent service and very friendly staff. The work was performed as promised (time and quality)
My accident was on March 22 and I wasn’t able to bring my car in until June 5th. It was at the shop until June 23rd, but they did an outstanding job on repairs and the people I dealt with were all professional and accommodating. It almost looks like a new car! They also touched up a few minor scratches that we…
Although it took a while due to supply chain issues, they were attentive to my inquires and did nice work on my car.
Great place to get your vehicle fixed. My car looks brand new. I called once a week to get an update on my car, they kept me well informed. I do wish ordering parts wasn’t such a hold up but other than that, service was great. I even came back a few days later because of a light on my dash, it was just the tire…
They did a great job replacing both driver side doors and trim. The paint job is PERFECT! They do such a great job and are so busy, it takes a while to get an appointment for vehicle to get into shop for repair. To my surprise (and delight) my vehicle’s interior had been completely cleaned and sanitized and there…
AC Automotive’s entire operation is first class from start to finish. Thrilled with the entire process. Car looks good as new!!
When my car was whipped by falling power lines on route 95–they were not live—I couldn’t believe the damage! AC was recommended to us. They replaced 72 parts and painted the damaged areas. My 2011 Rav 4 looks like new. Exceptional job! I wish I could say the same for Travelers Insurance—they rated an “F” on all fronts.
Wow, AC Automotive was fantastic!!! I was so impressed right from the start, with my first phone call to Nicole who was extremely nice, super professional and answered all my questions. Nicole even helped me arrange the rental vehicle to use while my car was in their shop, which took a huge burden off me. Then…
Second time bringing my car here and both times satisfied! You guys are awesome!
Awesome customer service and exceeded expectations with timeliness and cleanliness would never take my car anywhere else
I am very thankful for the job done in my vehicle, I will strongly recommend AC Automotive to anyone, they are the best in town, I have been there before in different years and always they have been very efficient and professional
