State Auto Body Inc. at a glance
Customers consistently praise the shop for affordable pricing, quick turnaround times, and high-quality paint and body repairs that restore vehicles to a like-new condition. Reviewers frequently highlight the owner's honesty, personalized communication, and willingness to handle diverse issues ranging from minor scratches to complex custom modifications. However, a pattern of criticism in low-star reviews indicates significant delays in providing estimates or completing parts orders, with some customers reporting months of unresponsiveness.

I was recommended by our mechanic to use State Auto Body. My BMW 750 front end was struck while parked in Miami. After work was completed, the front end looks like new. Very pleased and would recommend to anyone looking for a professional paint and repair.

My mother has been going to Herman for years. He is so honest, kind and professional. He always goes beyond the call of duty. His prices are very reasonable and you never have to worry that you are going to be overcharged. His work is top notch and he works quickly to give you your car back in a timely manner. 100% recommended!
