a review of "absolute auto body" (933 tupper street, coquitlam) AND WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO GET A DECENT JOB... COPY and PASTE in another window: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\revised 1.jfif it would be hard to find more BS than i've encountered with these people... i wanted a complete body and paint job done on my 1996 Acura Integra. the body was in reletively good condition and there was no visible rust. but on closer inspection, there was a little rust under the top windshield molding, a couple spots of surface rust in the rear wheel wells, a little rust where the rear spoiler attaches to the trunk lid and some surface rust in the spare tire compartment that was cleaned off using a wire brush and then primer paint applied. this was not a typical ICBC 'replace the fender and steal the cash' job. in the end i paid absolute auto body $10,500. (6 grand cash up front and this did not include re-finishing my wheel rims which were sent out to another contractor; Nu Brite Industries, 9535 190th street, surrey; $1500.00). even doing the rims which meant the car was up on jacks for 10 days, this project should easily have been done in six weeks. absolute auto body dragged it out for 3.5 months. i still can't understand why. they WERE NOT that busy with their ICBC jobs. i often checked in to see the shops mostly empty and guys sitting around. meanwhile, they would work on my car for a day or two and then it would be sitting for another week or two. and there were other shoddy issues like putting the windshield and and "old" top molding back in place when i had sourced out and bought new moldings and cracking a strip of the once perfect dashboard between the defroster vents and windshield when i insisted on the new molding and they had to take out the windshield again. in the end, i just wanted to pay them and get my car back. moe, the manager suggested a ceramic finish. i said "yes, do it" and agreed to an additional $400 which i admit sounded more than reasonable and too good to be true (IT WAS!). it's been several months now since i reclaimed my car. TODAY, I JUST HAD IT INSPECTED BY A PROFESSIONAL CERAMIC COATING APPLICATOR (Majestic Auto Spa, 858 westwood street, coquitlam; behind the car wash). first, Amir told me that the entire car was covered in excessive overspray and that would have to be cleaned off. he showed/demonstrated this to me in a way that made it quite obvious and my "new" paint job did not even come close to perfection beside a new car. he also explained that there was absolutely no ceramic coating on the car. again, when side by side with a car with a new ceramic finish, the differences were quite obvious. NOW, I'VE PAID MORE GOOD MONEY (2 grand) TO HAVE THE OVERSPRAY CLEANED OFF AND A REAL AND PROFESSIONAL CERAMIC FINISH APPLIED. after viewing the additional pics of a properly finished job, it should become obvious why i wouldn't recomend absolute auto body (think honesty, integrity and customer service) to paint a dog house. signed a silly old man and his toy ps... when my car had been stuck in absolute auto body's shop for 2+ months and i asked the better business bureau for some help, they were no help at all. also: i can't/won't respond to anyone who might comment on this post. the other day, i recieved a response and, the moment i clicked on that response i suddenly had a virus and my computer froze. i am assuming that response was from somebody conected with absolute auto body. copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\car 9.jfif copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\car1.jfif copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\my old man toy.jpg copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\20221124_150320.jpg copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\Pictures\20221125_085346.jpg copy and paste: C:\Users\Keith\OneDrive\Pictures\20230202_144708.jpg read more

Absolute Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

I made the best decision taking my car here! Not only did I receive professional service, my car was so well taken care of! Not one detail was over looked. I highly recommend them. read more

When a stationary concrete barricade decided to attack our innocent red car we needed some work on the bumper. After getting a few quotes in the neighbourhood I went to Absolute Auto. All the prices were about the same, the only reason why I picked this place is because the owner was the nicest man i've ever met. He was so friendly so I said sure, fix my car. He said two days for the car and sure enough two days later it was ready and as good as new! They did great work on the car and I couldn't be happier. Next time a tree or attack fence messes up the car i'll be back for sure. read more

Great professional and friendly service. My new car was in a minor accident and I was worried about who to choose from the list ICBC had provided me. Finally I decided to call Absolute Auto on Wednesday morning and spoke with Mo. He was very warm and reassured me that he would do his best to get my car in quickly, provide a courtesy car and have the repair done within a couple of days. I dropped my car off the following day at 7:30 in the morning, half an hour before opening because Mo wanted to accommodate my need to get to work soon after. The next day my car was ready in the afternoon! I couldn't believe how quick it was all done, but more important, how great a job they did on it. My car was washed and vacuumed and I wouldn't believe it had been in an accident if I hadn't known before it went into the shop. I am very grateful to Mo and his partners for making an otherwise stressful situation into an almost relaxing one. The work has a lifetime warranty. I'd definitely recommend this body shop to anyone. read more

We took our 1995 family car to Absolute, and were "over-the-top happy" with the whole process!!! We met Moe, and right off the bat we knew he was awesome ... fantastic attitude and a great laugh!!! Because of the age of our car, ICBC wanted to write it off saying that the repairs could likely exceed the car's value. When I told Moe that ICBC would only pay up to a very specific dollar value, he promised he would take care of us and even provided a courtesy car, free of charge. Their customer service is The Best we've experienced in a Very Long Time!!! Their workmanship is of Supreme Top-Notch Quality!!! Our car was even very well cleaned inside and out, and then delivered right to our home. We will be very highly and happily recommending Moe and his Above-Excellent Team to our family and friends!!! We thank them for their professionalism and friendliness -- they made us feel right at home. read more

Like the review before me, I too was "attacked" by a concrete wall in my condo's parking garage. ICBC sent me a list of recommended Valet shops, and I started with the first on the list for Coquitlam. Even though others were quoting similar prices, Moe was the easiest going guy I met in the shops I went to. I could tell that he was genuinely interested in making me a happy customer. The loaner car was a clean, newer Toyota Corolla, nice chance for me to test drive one, as I'm considering one as a second vehicle. Within a week (including the Easter weekend), Moe called me to say that my car was ready. When I went to pick up the car, it looked as good as new inside and out. It was thoroughly cleaned. They even got the coffee spill smells out, and the sawdust out of the trunk! :) I have used other shops before, but this one by far was the best. I will use Absolute Auto again, if and when I need body work in the future. Thanks Moe and your team! read more
