Someone backed into my husband's car in the parking garage at his work. Smart Toyota recommended taking his car to Ball Auto Body, so we did.. They quoted us $1800 (the printed estimate was four sheets long and $1200 was labor, not to mention it'd take 5 days).
A colleague told us about Auto Color so we decided to drop in for an estimate. When we got there, the front desk manager (Andy) had just stepped outside to help another customer. No biggie. But immediately, the owner (Joe) came out of his office and greeted us. He walked us outside to our car and assessed the damage himself.. He told us EXACTLY what they'd need to do to make it look brand new again and provided us with an exact cost. With tax, we paid about $800 and it only took them 2 days to fix.
This place is great! NO BULL SH*T businesses like Auto Color deserve much praise. Joe and Andy are top-notch! If we ever need more work done in the future, we'll definitely be going back to them.
