They did body work on my Range Rover Sport after an "incident" with my garage door. My 2007 model look's practically new. Very professional. Jenn and Tom in the front are great.

Can you say; "home town treatment". These people are amazing. Right from the moment I drove up I knew I was in good hands. I asked, "can I park here", answer: 'Don't you worry about that or anything". It only got better after that. There is no way to say how grateful I am to these people. They took care of me like family. Don't hesitate to use these people, I never will. Thank you Shine Automotive.

Nick did a fast, high quality, professional and affordable repair to my car. In an era where it seems like it's more rare to find service providers who go above and beyond, it was very refreshing to experience this type of service. As a result, Sunshine Automotive has earned my loyalty!Service: Body & Trim

I am disappointed with my experience here. A good friend recommended this repair shop. Knows the owners. I read all the wonderful reviews. I take my car here, no second estimate needed. Maybe my expectations were to high. I was told 6 days. When I dropped the car off, I noted a new problem that had occurred since the finderbinder. When I noted that at drop off I was told they would bring out a BMW mechanic to diagnose and there would be a diagnostic fee one way or the other cause they had to have the BMW tech come out. I agree. My 6 days turned into 10 to allow the tech to come out and do his thing. Finally on business day 13, they call and tell me it's ready to go. No other communication. I had to call and leave messages to get updates. No note or charge for the BMW technician. The error that stated right after the finderbinder came up almost immediately after leaving the shop. I call them about. Apparently, they read the codes and deleted them and called it fixed if they don't pop right back up. Apparently, they don't have a BMW mobile tech. Apparently, I was misled, and they just clear codes. Which they were willing to do again if I wanted to come back. Apparently, that takes an extra 7 business days. There was no diagnostic charge. Now I have to take it to another shop to finish up the work and of course the extra business days at that shop.

This was my 2nd time to use Sunshine Automotive and it was the complete opposite of the first time. I won't be back - here's why... Needed the hood of my car repaired/painted due to a debris strike. Received a quote and time estimate of 4-5 working days - no more. I dropped my car off on the pre-scheduled Monday morning, and was informed that my car would be completed Thursday or Friday at the latest. When I called late on Thursday afternoon, I was told to call back on Friday. Called back on Friday and was told it would be completed on Monday. When I called on Monday, I was told someone would call me back, no one called me back. I called on Tuesday and was told again that someone would call me back. No one called on Tuesday or Wednesday, so I called back on Thursday. On Thursday I was told it might be done later in the day but they would let me know. I explained to them that I had several appointment to run on Friday and if my car wasn't going to be completed I would like to know so that I could make other arrangement for those appointments. No return call again.... When I called on Friday morning they said it would be done by 3. I arrived at 3:30 and my car was completed by 4PM. A 4-5 business day completion turned into a 2 week process. Communication is beyond terrible - no one seemed to care, and no one even apologized for the delay. Come to find out later, the paint booth had a power outage / issue so instead of communicating this delay to customers waiting, they just opted to ignore the issues of these delays.Service: Painting

I was recommended to Sunshine Automotive from my realtor because they said this company does the best car paint jobs in St. Pete. I came in around 4/25/2023 for a quote, and they took about 15-30 minutes. They had a long backlog, and I wasn’t scheduled until 6/5/2023 (1.5 months later) to repair small-medium scratches on my car. Jen informed me the work would take 1-1.5 weeks at most which worked out fine. I emphasized the work completed before 6/16/2023 because I was going out of the country. Unfortunately, the work was not completed by 6/14/2023, and I was very frustrated. Thankfully, Dean and Tom kept me updated every day and put their best people on my car to finish the work by the afternoon on 6/16/2023. I was extremely grateful for their efforts to repair my car and get it ready for me before I was out of the country. I liked that they also provide a lifetime warranty on the paint job. If you have the time to wait for their repairs, you will be in good hands with Dean.Services: Painting

I have taken my car to this body shop so many times that I ask for a bad driver discount!This week i took my car in due to a small scratch area near the drivers side back tire. It wasn't too noticeable but had black markings. I freely admit to being self diagnosed OCD. I knew it would bother me.Thomas took a look and verified what i had thought, it would be expensive to properly repair. He offered to add some touch up paints and i have to say it looks pretty good. My car is a 2018, some I think this will have to do. They do excellent honest work. Highly recommend.Laura

A piece of my bumper popped out of place and was dragging; I called Sunshine Automotive and Tom told me to bring it over right away. He took a look at my car and fixed it right there, free of charge. Talk about excellent customer service!! I will definitely be back for any future needs I might have and will recommend this place to my friends and family.Service: Body & Trim

After visiting two other body shops with varying degrees of customer service, I pulled into Sunshine Automotive and met Tom, who immediately diagnosed my repair, explained what needed to be done and the amount of time it would take. He was thorough and of kind demeanor and countenance, answering each of my questions at every step of the process, and completed the repair within the time he estimated. Highly recommend.Service: Body & Trim

So I brought my car here after referral. Was Greeted by Jen first day - very nice! Had to a bit of a waiting list so I made an appointment to bring the car back (Nissan Altima 2020). Actually Missed my appointment date, but they allowed me to bring the car the day after. Dropped the car off and Pauline let me know they were waiting with the parts to fix my ride. Called me about a week and half later to schedule pickup… cleaned it up really good. Did AMAZING WORK. Would absolutely recommend! One of the owners, Tina, along with Dan made sure everything was to my standards. And away I drove. Perfect collision repair ???? Love sunshine automotive !!Services: Body & Trim
