“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 ☕️ ?!”
“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.”
“Fantastic job.. car looks brand new.. very courteous and polite.. The office is immaculate and clean..He gives you very good estimate when the car will be done.. Thank you Tom and your Staff..?”
“My F-150 got side-swiped on Fruitville Highway — the entire front right fender was scratched up badly. I was sure it would need a full repaint. Mike took a look, explained exactly what he could do, and got every single scratch out. It looks brand new, like it never happened. What really stood out to me is the honesty. They could have easily told me it needed a repaint and charged me for it, and I never would have known the difference. Instead, they did the right thing and saved me the money. That tells you everything you need to know about this shop. I won't go anywhere else for body work, and I'll be sending everyone I know here. Five stars isn't enough.”
“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“The silver lingering behind an unfortunate accident!
This good news story is about an unexpected accident that happened (not our fault) just as we were preparing to store our vehicle leaving the area for an extended period. Bad luck turned into good luck by being referred to Perdigao Auto.
We had loads of reasons to be worried including the short timeframe before our departure, plans we could not change, concerns about availability of parts, etc.
Somehow everything worked out thanks to the solution-oriented, quality-minded Julie and the Perdigao repair team.
On so many levels, service was exceptional. Outstanding quality of work, respectful and responsive relationship with our insurance company, regular status updates to us virtually, photos and videos showing the progress of work done and then making arrangements for delivery of our vehicle to our reserved storage.
Each interaction was friendly and positive, to the point where we’d almost wish to have another accident knowing this outstanding family-owned company would be taking care of our beloved Mercedes convertible.
May you be so lucky to choose Perdigao if you need repairs on your car. Highly highly recommend.”
“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!!”
“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!!!”
“Brought my BMW XM there after being side swiped on the highway. The staff here were very personable and professional. The repairs were done quickly, I was kept in the loop throughout the process and the work was perfect! It’s the first time I left a body shop and didn’t feel like I got taken. I highly recommend!!”
“Extremely happy with my experiences at Caliber Collision! Michael listened to everything I had to say and executed on all my requests. My Golf looks good as new. Very professional and I love the lifetime warranty on the paint. Thank you very much.”
“This is an amazing shop. They treat you like you're family and take pride in their work. Summer, the owner, and her team do a great work. They painted my car and added a cool custom flare to it. I was so happy I booked an appointment to have my entire interior done too. If you need anything done, big or small consider this shop!!!”
“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!”
“Great local business that knows their products. Manager Candace has actual auto body experience and can really help you with any questions you may have. On top of that the products they sell are pro quality, you can't find a better paint supplier in the Sarasota County and certainly no one better than Candace.”
“Had an amazing experience bringing my Navigator in for a service. I also met the sales team. They were professional and courteous as well. The showroom was spotless, and comfortable! I’ll be continuing my vehicle service there and will definitely buy my next Lincoln there! Such a great atmosphere!”
“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!!”
“As a woman I don’t know anything about cars. But this Shop helped me understand and took very good care of me and my car. Honest people and reliable. Keep the hard work ??”
“I was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism demonstrated by Rebecca, my estimator at Gerber Collision & Glass, throughout the repair process for my vehicle. The team communicated clearly regarding the status of my repairs and timelines. Rebecca paid close attention to ensuring that the correct replacement parts were sourced for my 2007 Nissan Frontier. The front desk staff were outstanding in coordinating a rental vehicle with both me and my insurance company. The body shop maintained an exceptional level of organization, cleanliness, and competence. I am happy to recommend their business to others; my overall experience was excellent. Gerber Collision even provided auto detailing on my vehicle, addressed a dashboard warning light, and checked tire pressure and filled with air my tires! Most importantly, they were straightforward about pricing, which was fair and disclosed immediately, despite my repairs being covered by another insurer. Gerber consistently upheld their professionalism, with Rebecca even ordering a custom rear light for my bumper to restore my vehicle to its original condition after my accident. Thank you to Rebecca and the entire Gerber team.”
“Sir Oscar and His Team is the best they fixed the dent and scratch of my car well, it turn out like new ❤️, Thank you everyone keep up the good work. God Bless .”
“Wade was polite and professional.I had all the faded trim replaced on my 2016 Honda crv .The work was done on time and the car looks great,they even straightened out a crooked tail light. Excellant service .”
“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.”
“I got my 2010 Honda civic painted at this location and couldn’t be happier. The paint was very chipped and the clear coat was almost completely gone. There were also a few areas of rust. They did an amazing job! Grant and Ed answered all my questions patiently and were very professional; I highly recommend their services”
“Steve and his staff did a wonderful job on my Altima. Steve knows his business and kept me informed from the beginning till my car looked as good as new. I would highly recommend Girouard's .”
“Excellent service with unbeatable price. There was damage to the back of my Explorer that required some body work, paint and a new tail light. Car looks fantastic and paint matches perfectly. Very happy customer.”
“TAKE THE TIME TO READ IF YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU!
Seems like these negative reviews I read are from people who don’t listen.
I damaged my car pulling out of my garage, and googled shops in the area. I can admit, the reviews scared me a little, but I seen overall they come highly recommended. I called Kim’s and asked about a quote, I spoke to Hunter and he had asked if I was seeking self pay or insurance. When I explained I was using Progressive, he told me to bring my estimate from the insurance in, and we could talk next steps.
When I got there later that afternoon I was directed over to Katelyn. I was met with kindness, and a smile. She took the time to walk me through the nitty gritty of the process, explained to me that they are not a direct shop with insurance companies, and they charge a higher hourly rate than what my insurance will pay for, and that I would be responsible for whatever difference is not paid for by my insurance, and even pointed out to me on the insurance estimate itself where they have that statement in the fine print. I was blown away by the attention to detail she gave me to make sure I properly understood this very new to me process. She explained this was not meant to scare me off, but to be upfront with all their customers that I could possibly owe hundreds out of pocket because of the hourly money difference before handing my car over.
Hunter then stopped into her office and we reviewed the estimate together, and I was also able to review the form that I would have needed to sign if I had them fix my car, which stated everything she explained to me. While I ultimately decided to take my car to a shop that shares a contract with progressive (only because I know I cannot afford much outside of my deductible amount), these people were very kind, very patient, thorough and honest even when it means they could lose a potential customer. Great job to this team!
Shame on these reviews that all share the same complaint!!”
“Great experience. Dropped my car off on a Friday. They ordered the part right away and car was done before 10 A.M. Monday. Would absolutely recommend and use them again.”
