“They did a fantastic job on my wife’s BMW X-5. It had 3 years of grandkids spilling things inside, so needed a really good sprucing up. We will be using them again!”

“Just picked up our 2008 Audi TT. Bought the car a few weeks ago. It had a dent in the passenger side door and scrapes along the rocker panel. Tail light loose as well. Troy did an amazing job and had the car back to us in less than 3 days. Car looks awesome. Very reasonable pricing. Looks like new!!!!
Highly recommend Martins!!!!!”
“Calloway European Automotive has serviced my family's cars for many years. They are professional, honest, extremely skilled and punctual. Your estimate will never contain any hidden fees. I will never take my Mercedes to anyone else!
Their waiting area is clean and comfortable. They also provide an assortment of beverages for their clients; including my favorite Cafe Bustelo ☕️ ?!”
“Dario was awesome to work with! He made the car-buying process easy, honest, and straightforward. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely wanted to help us. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great car-buying experience.”
“Outstanding work, HONEST, and local. Exterior auto body shop. If your car needs body or paint job, come here. Chris is honest and knowledgeable. His experience is evident on the work he completes. Been taking all my cars, when needed, to him for years. He helps with insurance claims or private pay. Reasonable prices without all the overhead since it’s a small, local owner shop. Worth the wait.”
“I am so grateful to the staff at Electro Bake Auto Body as they did a great job fixing a loose panel on my Acura. It was quick, easy, and reasonable. Highly recommend Thank you. Mary C.”
“Car Chemistry did an outstanding job repairing my Kia in a very timely manner. The staff is so friendly and helpful keeping us informed daily on the repairs.
Thank you for the superb service!”
“I chose dynamic from a list of names that my insurance company gave me. I was very pleased with how easy they were to work with. Very professional. I had a lot of damage to the passenger side of my pick up. They replaced two doors, the bed, and a portion of the frame and it looks brand new. They even washed my car and vacuumed out the inside. I think they only had my truck for about a week or so Couldn’t be happier.”

“AL-The owner is very friendly, and the staff are incredibly nice too. Great quality and excellent service — I highly recommend them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“When I unfortunately needed body work for my car, I thought immediately of Venice Auto Body based on my last excellent experience with them. Mario and Ryan were great -- very responsive and although it wasn't easy, they got my car back together just in time for my Christmas trip to see my family! Could not recommend them more highly.”
“When my husband and I bring our vehicle to the Best Friends Automotive and say can you go through our car and let us know how it is doing. They give us a detailed sheet checking off that they have looked at our fluids, oil & lubricants, battery, tires, and more. They let us know of any issues or concerns we need to be aware of for our safety. Here are examples of some of the issues we have had a low battery charge, fluids, tire pressure plus all our oil change's. We always feel safer knowing that they have checked out our car.”
“If you’re looking for a Quality, Honest, Family operated business, I highly recommend Harris Auto Collision. I had a minor body repair job. I was treated like they were doing a major repair. Peter and his wife went the extra mile to make me feel Special. I would put their quality every bit as good as corporate owned body collision companies. I was 100 per cent satisfied and would recommend family owned Harris Auto Collision without reservation.”
“Hoyt’s Auto Upholstery did an amazing job reupholstering several seats on the bus I drive! The quality is top notch and the seats look fantastic — like brand new. I’ve known the owner for over 35 years, and he has always taken pride in his work. That really shows in the craftsmanship and attention to detail. They also made sure the job was completed on time so I was up and running for the beginning of the school year. The whole process was smooth. Tim kept me updated and the shop truly cared about making sure everything turned out right. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you want skilled, reliable, and professional upholstery work, Hoyt’s is the place to go.”
“Brooks and Andy were awesome! They did an amazing job repairing my car and were very helpful with the process with the insurance company! I highly recommend this shop!!”

“Most honest and reliable work done without cutting corners. Don't let the low prices scare you into thinking its cheap. I would definitely recommend to friends and family!”
“I have left several reviews in the last 6 months very clearly documenting my journey with my first Jaguar. Mine happens to be a 08 S-type 3.0. Recently had an ABS and Gearbox fault code causing my braking system to operate incorrectly. My front suspension had been shot which I was aware of however the quotes I was getting at other shops to correct it were extremely expensive. Already got taken by Tire Choice (the worst) for a rear brake job that took them 3 weeks to complete. All that being said, Dan at Renaissance Motor Cars not only diagnosed and figured out my problem in a day, he was able to also fix my suspension for a much more reasonable price as well as getting me back on the road in only a couple of days. Can’t tell you the peace of mind you guys give me. My Jag now purrrs and roars. Thank you!!!”

“I took my vehicle to this body shop right after another vehicle backed into me to receive a quick estimate for the damage to determine if insurance needed to get involved. I was helped by the GM, James DeRosa initially, and after a quick assessment he supplied me with the esitmate shortly thereafter that day. Upon dropping the vehicle off for repair (after insurance claim), they coordinated with Enterprise to pick me up and supply me with a rental for the duration of the repair process (2 weeks for a small repair). After work was completed I retrieved my vehicle only to discover what appeared to be new damage done by the body shop. I dealt specifically with James with regard to the damage I thought was their fault. At first he was pretty upset and adamant that his shop didn't cause the damage, but after we reviewed the intake photos it was clear the damage was not there when I dropped the vehicle off, as they map existing damage so this type of thing doesn't happen. With that, they accepted responsibility and got me back in within a couple weeks to repair the damage, and provided another rental (even though it was the cheapest POS Enterprise had). When making the repair they discovered the work done previously was crap, and when the vehicle was in the spray booth, apparently the heat caused the previous repair to push out and crack. Although they didn't cause the original damage, they made it right. I applaud their professionalism and quality of work and feel confident that if I need further repairs, this is the shop to bring it to.”
“My experience was amazing I went in for a paint matched color they scanned it and couldn’t get a chip of it but the team is great and all the staff is wonderful they pulled out all the books and got the color to pretty much damn near perfect.
It’s my second time painting with a proper gun and they made sure to print me the right documents and make sure I have everything and know everything for me to get it done I’ll upload some pictures of the hood I just did!
Ignore the orange peel once it cures I will wet sand it and get rid of it all!
Thank you guys at the ABE team”
“Brought my car here around the middle of December. Tom and Jerry's Collision staff not only gave me a reasonable price for the repairs but also got the job done in a timely matter despite the holiday season. Outstanding customer service, thank you! 5/5*”
“They were able to get me in to look at the damage the day after my accident. My trunk didnt close so they quickly fixed that so It would close for the weekend. Then I dropped it off for repairs the business day after that. They worked on the car while I was out of town and were finished by the time I got back. They did a excellent job and were friendly and helpful.”
“I am 100% satisfied with Ashton restoration and the professionalism that was delivered by the owner Chris. He is an honest, good family guy and does an absolutely wonderful job. This is my third restoration on my 68 Camaro that I’ve had for almost 40 years, I wouldn’t trust it to anyone else. Thank you Chris and family!”
“So I'm updating my review, this time with photos, well some photos. Amazing work, mixed custom paint and in my insane time frame did what he could. So see Jr new custom paint made my truck pop out. More to be done, but he is who is doing it. Mirrors, grill, lines you can't see it but it's custom mixed metallic black.Service: Body & Trim”

“I recently had both of my vehicles in for routine service. Both vehicles had a couple of items that needed attention but there was no hard sell or pressure tactics that you find at a lot of repair shops. I like that. The work was performed in a timely manner and the price was great.”
“My car wouldn’t start and I work two jobs, so this created a very stressful situation for me. The people at Ed Howard Mazda were so understanding and helpful when I reached out to them! They quickly fit me into their schedule and got my car up and running again. As it turned out, my battery was dead and my car also needed a few minor fixes. They went above and beyond with their service and made me feel valued! They’ve have won my loyalty! Thank you to the staff at Ed Howard Mazda!!”
“Definitely recommend coming the Carsmetics in Sarasota. I was in a car accident between my garage and me...the garage won LOL! I took my car two 4 different body shops, 3 in Venice and 1 in Sarasota and Carsmetics was the most reasonable. Once my car was in, the service was fast, they followed up and my car was back in my garage in no time. Jeff, the Manager, is informative and easy to work with.”
“Extremely pleased with the job done on my car by Walter and his wonderful wife Catheryn. They excel in what they do, you are kept fully informed on the work in progress and they are spot on punctuality. Superb job! Thank you W&C”
