Ernest and his team did an awesome job on my Vantage. One week turnaround so I could put it away for the winter. A self inflicted minor wound that just made me sick, was fixed and repainted flawlessly. Color match is perfect. I’d highly recommend them for their professionalism and attention to detail. Continued success Ernest, and thanks again.

Took my Charger to Exotic on the advice of a friend. Was super happy I did! You can see by the picture it looks awesome. They went above and beyond expectations. Also did a little more than I asked and I appreciated the extra effort. Will for sure use Exotic for any future issues I may have. Looks like bit should.

Ernest is one of the best in the business. For years, as a customer ,he has taken care of the body work and painting of my cars. The quality of his work is excellent, paint matching is primo! If you are looking for great work speak to Ernest and get a quote.

Ernest is the very best in the business. I would give 10 stars if I could, but all I can do is say bring your wife, bring your kids, bring all your business if you want the best work and the most honest customer service you could ask for. So far, Ernest has worked on 4 of my Italian and Japanese cars over the years. Every time, it’s perfection. Thanks for all you do, Ernest and Team.

EXTREMELY CARELESS....RUNS, OVERSPRAY, BLISTERS, and MORE...See PHOTOS.
I trusted Ernest and sang his praises, however, he did not deserve the high praise. He kept my vehicle for over four months and got overspray on the interior and exterior of my truck. Ernest took my FJ cruiser to wherever and whomever he pleased and would not return any emails and kept me completely out of the loop on the interior repair. After a few weeks I got a call from exotic cars saying, "go pick up your truck", which was at an upholstery shop. When I called Ernest and told him that I had no dealings with the upholstery guys and I wanted to pick my FJ up at his shop, he screamed, "I'm done, I'm done", "get a lawyer". Initially Ernest said let's just start here, meaning let him do his fix and then we'll see...He went from this to, "I'm Done, I'm Done, get a lawyer."
I opened my back window for the first time since the paint job, and to my horror I see a trim piece was never re-installed. I emailed Ernest about this and he has not responded as usual.
Ernest finally responded and tried to claim that the window trim piece was never on the vehicle, but he forgets that they had a plastic trim piece left over and asked me if it belongs to my vehicle, to which I responded "I don't know". Now I know what it was for.
Ernest forgets that when I brought my vehicle in for the initial quote, he opened the passenger door and said "man this thing is in nice shape, you don't normally see this".
There is no part of my FJ that has not been damaged by Ernest's shop. My vehicle has been rubbed to death with chemicals everywhere in a cheap attempt to remove the white paint, and the shine/finish has been compromised. When I showed up to get my vehicle Ernest's guy was rubbing my side steps with reducer which removed the shine and the paint is still there as you can see in the photos.
It looks like some interior panels have been painted and the seats have been dyed in attempts to hide the damage. Ernest refuses to communicate and provide any information about the work/cover-up done on my vehicle. I loved my FJ and Ernest ruined it!
Blisters have now shown up in my paint after 3 months. Ernest called today and wanted me to bring it in for him to see the blisters. I intended to bring my vehicle in so we could go over all the other damage but Ernest will not address the damage he did that you can clearly see in the pictures. It's hard to believe that he thinks I would ever let him near my vehicle again to repair the blisters. I asked Ernest if he wanted to call his insurance company or get lawyers involved. He said he won't call his insurance company. I'm starting to wonder if he let his insurance lapse given his behaviour.
Ernest accused me of hurting his reputation by posting the photos of his work, so he agrees that his work is a problem, but he will do nothing about it.
The photos are too numerous to post, and I think the photos speak for themselves.

Ernest is awesome, he does great work! I’m very happy with the body and paint work he did on my Porsche, I receive many compliments. Recently I was having an issue with the top, Ernest took time out of his busy day to look and make adjustments to remedy the situation, great guy.

Ernest is a master artist!
I recently had the pleasure of witnessing a true automotive magician at work. My girlfriend's car had sustained some unsightly dents and scratches, and we were bracing ourselves for a costly and time-consuming paint job. Enter the incredible artist who not only fixed the car without the need for paint but also made it look as good as new! From the moment he began his work, it was clear we were in the presence of a master. His precision, attention to detail, and sheer skill were nothing short of mesmerizing. Each dent seemed to vanish as if by magic, and the final result was absolutely flawless. The car gleamed with its original luster, showing no signs of the previous damage. Watching him work was like watching an artist bring a canvas to life, and the transformation was nothing less than miraculous.
Above all, Ernest's character was even more wonderful than his incredible work. He is generous, kind, respectful, and incredibly professional.

Our experience with Exotic Car has been excellent, they go beyond our expectation. We got our Lexus RX350 and Lexus ES300 repaired thrice over the past couple of years, and the work done is exceptional. Ernest gives personal attention to every detail, is very helpful and friendly, goes the extra mile. We highly recommend Exotic Cars, they are the Best in Calgary.

Ernest and his crew have helped me many times in the past. They are always quick with their repairs and they look amazing. Most recently he helped me by repainting part of an old sportscar before I sold it. His colour match was perfect and it got me top dollar for the car. Thanks so much! I will always come back, I will always refer friends and family.

Ernest stands out uniquely among others. He graciously repaired our vehicle without requesting any payment in return. His generosity and skillfulness exemplify his exceptional character, demonstrating a selfless act of kindness that left a lasting impression on us
