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.

Chris is an incredible owner. I went to a few places for an estimate on some cosmetic damage and knew instantly that Chris would be the most trusted for the job, in addition to having the most reasonable estimate. Out of 5 places I went to, Chris was on the only one to give me an estimate while I was there, as opposed to through email when I left. He also explained exactly how he’d go about the job and was extremely reassuring that it would come out right, when nobody else at the other shops cared to explain anything to me. I left my car for 5 days and he fixed my front bumper and a pretty significant ding/dent on my door. I picked up my car today and it looks brand new. Extremely happy that I chose Chris for this, and will be using him again in the future.

Chris and the whole operation are top notch. Did work on my Mom's car that had been under my policy and she gets overwhelmed with car related matters and repairs. Everything was super smooth, timely and very quality work. Would not go anywhere else in the future

They are truly amazing. I was recommended to go here by my coworker. She said they have the best service and cheapest price in town. My car got burglarized in the end of the summer and my driver side window was broken. It was taking me a while to get it fixed because everyone in Bradenton and sarasota was charging $500-$600 for a new window. I went to Chris and they charged me less than half of that . Barbara facilitated everything and kept me in the loop. I’ll def go back and make them my permanent auto body!!! I Am so happy with the service at planet auto body. I appreciate you guys so much and i’ll return!!

Awesome! Been using Chris for years. His work is amazing, his attention to detail is second to none. Planet Auto has worked on at least 3 of our cars. Prices quoted are always good, highly recommend.

To be honest, I don’t typically leave reviews. However, Owner Chris has exceeded my expectations in terms of replacing my 2021 Genesis G80 front bumper. He not only replaced it with keen additional suggestions/tweaks to made it better. He made it AMAZING!
Chris is in MY HUMBLE OPINION. A “TRU PRO CRAFT wise”. I guess for me, you can look around, read his company reviews. GO AHEAD -TRY!! He’s the “REAL DEAL”.
*** BEST thing for me was the timely communication with his company. A rare trait in my opinion from times past. Just was a breath of fresh air:)
*** From what I understand, he loves the paint spray autos? Has the BEST installed paint equipment!!!!!
In conclusion. I am humbly fortunate to have Chris moving forward should I need a vehicle issue. His office manager with lobby DOGGIE is so cute. I just moved down to Florida 1.5 years ago.
Even during the hurricane with NO INTERNET and such in his office. His manager called me back 🤷🏻♂️ communicated. I mean who does that. TRUE STORY 🩵
Chris, gives you his cell. He doesn’t mess around. He has more biz than he can handle for sure. Great Dude. Shoots you straight and give you “FAIR PRICE”.
*** How did I meet him originally. FACT: Gentel Genesis/Sarasota which I highly recommend.
Respectfully Speaking. Lakewood Ranch, FL. Loyal Customer.

I have been going to planet auto body since I moved back down here from new jersey and without a doubt It is the most quality and reliable work that I have ever experienced in Working with vehicles.
Fixing my Dodge Rebel pickup from people that don't know how to drive, to tweeking out my Dodge Challenger with dope ass hood pins.
Wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Speak to chris he's the owner.

I could never take my vehicles and parts elsewhere. I trust Chris, he’s not here to rip me off but tells me the truth. Barb has driven me in her own personal vehicle to Enterprise to get my rental when they couldn’t come pick me up! It’s great to see people like this in business and I’m so glad they stay busy. No offense to the shop but I’ve had to use their services more often than I care to admit (I live in Sarasota so you know…). I’ve had my friends take their work there, and they really do work magic. They understand the consumer and are not there to just take people’s money. I’m also in the industry and unfortunately I understand people have trust issues with mechanics and shops, but I will stand behind this one 100%. Keep it up guys, see you soon for my front bumper situation ?

The work was performed on time, paint match perfect, owner and staff are professional. They took the time to guide us through the entire process of restoring the AUCURA MDX to perfection.

Very honest, didn’t try to rip me off because I’m a woman who knows little to nothing about cars. Wiped off a “scratch” I was given an $800 estimate for at a different auto body.

Chris did a fantastic job making my car new again. He also completed the job in a timely manner - which I really appreciated. Barbara handled all details including the car rental, and kept me up to date with how things were progressing. Hopefully I won't need autobody work again, but if I do I will only use Planet Auto. Chris is trustworthy, fair and very skilled.Service: Body & Trim
