To be honest, I don't know what else I can say that hasn't already been said. I wish there were a few more around! They've been nothing but up front, honest, and fair in the prices, and they communicate very well about what's needed, why, variables, etc. There's a reason why it's 4.9 stars at 444+ reviews.

Brought in a car for a pre-purchase inspection. Andy, Jason and James all took time to explain in detail the inspection results and what one could expect from owning this car. I am thinking seriously about changing who maintains my car. Was impressed. PS the shop was spotless.

Ace Body & Motor took great care of me. I brought my truck in and they did a great job getting it fixed and back on the road. The work was solid, the process was straightforward, and I really appreciated how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend if you need dependable repair work done right.

Larry is super knowledgeable about Smart cars. He was very thorough with explaining what was wrong with my little car. He taught me things that I didn't know about my car. If you own a Smart car, he's definitely your go to guy and shop. Stop wasting your time and money on non experienced shops. They are Smart car gurus.
