Met Aurelio approx 4 years ago. At the time I was a manager at a high end shop, not too far from Aurelio's shop, working on mostly newer European vehicles. He came by and introduced himself and asked if we ever need any help with repairs or paint work on older vehicles to give him a chance. I took his card and put it away in my card file box along with 25-30 other cards I had been given from other vendors and jobbers. Approx 3-4 months went by and he stopped by again to say hello and see if we had anything for him. I thanked him for stopping by and he left me a few cards again and said if I got a chance to stop on by his shop and check out his work. Well long story short I was in the area and was about to get on the 10 fwy and looked over and there was his shop. I made a quick u turn and stopped in and took a look around and checked some of his work. I had a long time customer that had brought in his daughters car for a minor collision just a few days prior and he had requested a quote to clean up the car and paint the rest of the car since we were going to paint the front end from the insurance claim. I knew we would not be able to get the car cleaned up within his budget due to the fact of the paint materials we use and our labor rates. So I decided to give Aurelio a chance, I put them in contact with each other and they negotiated price. We did most of the repair work and Aurelio's crew took care of the rest. We got the car back in less than a week to finish up minor assembly. The car looked great. My customer was very pleased with the job and price. I no longer work close by but I still refer customers over now and then. Everyone's been very pleased, I have never had anyone call me to complain about the price or quality of his work. I have referred over dozen customers and just sent over another referral to him this week. Just a quick note regarding the other Yelp review, estimates are like opinions every one is entitled to them. Giving an establishment a poor review over an estimate??? give me a break grade or yelp businesses on their work and service performed. read more
