The guys at Laubenheimers painted my bumper on my 2014 f250 and 2016 S4. Flawless work! I bought a cheap Chinese replacement bumper for my Audi and they made it look better than factory! With installation they took care of me by adding bolts into the bottom of the front lip to secure it on even better! Will always come back to these guys!

Great people great work. They were going to replace the front two fenders on my Ram. I found the fenders online and they went to the Ram dealer and convinced them to match the price that I found. The quote to paint and install was $1900. When I picked up the truck today the price was $1300. They were going off of…

Great people great work. They were going to replace the front two fenders on my Ram. I found the fenders online and they went to the Ram dealer and convinced them to match the price that I found. The quote to paint and install was $1900. When I picked up the truck today the price was $1300. They were going off of the flat rate book that said it should take 7.5 hours to paint the fenders. Laubenheimer’s thought that was way too much time so they only charged me what it took! On top of that the work is impeccable.

These guys are so nice fair, and they do great work. I have always had a great experience here. They’re more than fair. Pricing was definitely the reason why we started going there, but the quality of their work and their kindness is the reason why we will always come to them.
