Highly recommend this paint shop if you're looking for honest, reliable, paint and light body work, without breaking the bank. My service was super speedy and every concern I had was promptly and kindly addressed by management. The staff was a joy to work with and I'll be taking my second vehicle down there very soon due to how pleased I was with the process and the work.

Thank you guys and see you again soon!

I Had a great overall experience. Top-notch Customer service and they did an excellent job painting my car and bringing it back to life. Tony hook me up with a great deal. Would recommend to anyone needing there car painted or any body work done. Thanks again.

Absolutely horrible! When they said that they ONLY take cash or money order it should have been a red flag. Painted the car, did not fix anything like they said, it needs a touch up on several spots and when we pointed this out they wanted for us to pay again. Manager literally said “there’s nothing you can do you paid cash” and laughed - do NOT PAY BEFORE THEY DO THE WORK, they are extremely unprofessional and rude and will tell you EVERYTHING YOU want to hear just to get you to pay but don’t honor anything they say after you pay and will literally tell you “there’s nothing you can do” if I could give it 0 stars I would!

Rodents Onsite - Think Twice!
Brought my vehicle to this shop to paint the roof and left it there while the work was being done. Arrived days later to pick up my car and a terrible stench came from inside. Feces all over the floorboards, multiple spots where my seats were chewed through, plastic from the back seat parcel chewed through leading to the trunk. The inside was ruined. Nobody had an answer for me as to why my car had this terrible smell, was chewed up and how this happened. The onsite manager was understanding and tried his best, but the situation just kept getting worse. I was assured that they would do right and clean up the mess and shampoo the seats and floors. This didn’t help and I couldn’t even drive the car the smell was so bad. I was forced to pay for the $400 from the contracted paint job that was done. That was contractually signed so I get that. I took my car home and couldn’t stand the smell, so went searching. Isolated the smell to a dead rat underneath the carpet floor that I found when I took my seats out myself and followed the chewed holes. Took it back to the shop and they removed the rodent and said the smell would be gone in a few days. Waited a week and it got worse. Wound up claiming this on insurance and my car was deemed undriveable due to the smell so it was totalled. At this point I’m out $1500 for taking my car there, and had to get a new car. Leadership is a joke and wouldn’t even talk to me. The only person worth working with is the onsite manager Tim. Don’t go here unless you expect to spend more than agreed.

Econo Auto Painting was half the price of the other places I called, but the lower cost didn't mean a reduction in the quality of the paint job. It truly looks like a new car! The crew there was friendly and helpful, supplying a written guarantee and the exact price for the completed work. They scheduled me that day and I picked up the next day. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Tony the Tig/AR!

Took my money, promised they would cover and fix all dents and scratches and did not of it. The manager Tony is very rude and only took cash, told me if I wanted my car fixed I would have to pay again and I would have to pay for each day my car is there. Do NOT GO HERE & do not pay them unless you use your card! Do NOT PAY CASH

My car had been left out during a hurricane and obtained many scratches. The bumper was also cracked. I went there to paint the entire car and a new bumper. I got an estimate and came in a bit later. I dropped off the car and they called me a few days later. Obviously you get what you pay for, but I feel like they exceeded my expectations. They even tell you before hand that it’s economy priced to try to set some expectations but the work is very well done. I went with the original color of my car and changed the roof to black. While I can’t speak for longevity it was a great deal, great people and will definitely recommend or return for more cars to be completed. You will not find a better deal anywhere.

Absolutely awesome place to get paint done! My Sentra's original red faded paint definitely needed to be addressed, these guys are incredible. Tony, the manager there, is an awesome guy to work with. Really worked with me and hooked up an amazing price and the crew there got her done in two business days, awesome work guys! Shout out to Christopher as well, awesome dude and was able to get her back to me as quick as possible. Awesome price, awesome crew and an amazing job! Would recommend 150%.

I received prompt attention as I drove up for an inquiry. The young man was there in very short order and gave me a written estimate for my vehicle. Yes, I would consider getting my vehicle painted here. Update: Just to let you know, over 6 weeks ago, I got my car painted here. There's a video on my YouTube Channel: Money Matters Product Reviews and I AM if you wanna see the results of my paint job.

My car is peeling I never have complaints about companies unless it's serious enough, they say they will spray it again but I haven't had my car back a month I'm so upset I will change when my car is rectified. (Update) 2 months later I forgot to up date they repainted and it's better make sure you check your side mirrors they seem to not like touching those.

They did a fantastic job on my 1998 Dodge Ram pickup truck pickup I was overwhelmed at how good the job was. It looked very nice. There was absolutely no paint whatsoever in my cab or on the floor of the truck or on the windows for that matter I would definitely recommend. And my friend was there too with me he saw it and thought it was quite a good job

My experience as this has been my third time using Econo Paint. I've never had any issues with this organization. You can't beat the price for the service you are receiving as well as the turn around time. If you want a factory finish then go to the factory, but at least with econo you are getting a decent paint job (no paint swirls or residual dripping) in less than two days. Oh be sure to look on their website for the specials section and make sure to mention the coupon and the price for the amount.

Under new managers. Total disaster. Overspray, on window rubber mountings. Body parts not assemble properly, so the car makes flapping or rattling noises. Hollidays on spray job. I will have to repaint next year by a professional. Avoid!: (

Terrible work! I would never take my car there again, nor would I recommend anyone else going there. They ruined my car! I now have to take my car somewhere else to have it redone!

I took my car here on a recommendation from my mechanic however that was a mistake. My second mistake was tipping them well BEFORE I seen the finished product in the light. How do you get a paint job where part of the panel that is supposed to be painted is not, yet both tires and one of my rims get pain? And then there is all the dust inside the car and the fact none of the glass in the car will ever be clear again. Only way you should take a car here is frame only. I think students at a hs body shop would do a better job.

Go and see Tony, the Manager in-charge. A consumate professional, extremely polite and genuine. Addressed all my concerns (prior visits have not met my satisfaction). Painted the entire car, issues with prior paint, especially front bumper. Tony accommodated my needs. I will return in the future. Thanks again Tony!

This place is a mess. They take your money first so when you see the paint job and it’s a mess, the workers look like they came fresh out of jail and the female with no teeth attends you then goes to the bathroom to sniff her pill. Great place of business
