I had a side mirror that was used by Chrysler for a very short time. I looked and could not find it anywhere. Affordable Auto found it and got it painted and installed FAST and at a GREAT PRICE! In addition they buffed out the damage to the paint on the door at no additional charge. These are the guys you WANT to work on your car read more

I called many body shops looking for one that could take my vehicle in quick and came across Affordable Auto Works. Their reviews were outstanding. The expert adjuster explained the insurance process and advised me. I had issues with my insurance company and Affordable handled EVERYTHING! This gave me peace of mind. They have such a quick turnaround that I was only without my vehicle for 10 days. My car is now returned, and it looks and operates better than ever. Their quality of work is remarkable! They are worth checking out! I recommend you look at their reviews, call them, or make the quick drive to their shop in downtown Raleigh. read more

My daughter's Mini had a close encounter with a retaining wall, damaging the hood and fender. I decided to give Affordable a try based on Yelp reviews... a good decision. Bob (the owner) took a look and advised that he thought the damage could be repaired without replacing the hood - saving hundreds. He kept the car for a few hours to properly estimate and came back to me with a reasonable price and reasonable time frame. The work took 4 days, and was completed on time, as estimated. The work is PHENOMENAL. The hood and fender were repaired to new condition, you can't tell that there was repair work done. The paint is bright, matches perfectly and is flawless. The fit of the parts is perfect. I'm super satisfied with the high quality, reasonable price and degree of integrity of the team at this business. I recommend Affordable Auto Painting and Body. read more

Affordable Auto Works - Body Shops Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Fantastic work, fair price, incredibly professional! I'm getting my 25 yo Mustang convertible wrapped and needed to take out some dings. Other body shops either declined the job as too much work or didn't pass the sniff test for me. Adnan and team sparked confidence right away in their honest straightforward approach, and amazing banana bread sealed the deal. The gentleman who worked on my car is a true craftsman and did an amazing job. Gratitude and respect! read more

Easy to schedule estimate & service, competitive pricing, short time to complete & high quality work. Would definitely recommend!

Affordable auto turned what couldn't have been a huge pain to deal with into such a good experience. The work they did on my van was amazing and they handled everything from getting a rental, keeping me informed and working with insurance. I am so thankful! Thank you! read more

I don't know how Bob has 5 stars...This repair shop was recommended to me by a colleague of mine for repairs to my 4Runner after a minor rear-end collision. I went in for an estimate and met Bob, who was nice and seemed like a stand-up guy. The original repair to the bumper was done in a timely manner, but when I received the car the bumper was not fully "clipped in" - Bob slammed it with his fist, popped it in place and sent me on my way. When I returned home the bumper has come back out of place and, so I returned the car three times to have it fixed properly...It came back a tiny bit better each time but never "fixed". Today I took my car to the dealership to have them look at it, and they wanted to know who I let touch my car as the out of place bumper was the result of "poor workmanship". They showed me pictures of where the bumper was held in place by screws....not the proper hardware to secure the bumper, but just random screws you might use for a household project. Bob and his team cut corners, they do not provide the highest quality of work, and are not trust worthy. I would not recommend taking your vehicle to them for anything. There is a reason they come in below others with their estimates. If you have gone to them for repairs, I'd recommend getting someone to go over their work. Though it may look alright, you never know what may lie beneath. I have attached photos for a visual representation of Bob's "quality" work. read more

I've encountered Bob twice: the first time, I had rust on a car that I moved with (from up north). Bob took a look at it and declined to do the body work on it, that the rust would return within a year, and said that he'd give me the same advice he'd give if I were his daughter - to get rid of the car. I was so appreciative of his no-nonsense and honest approach that I followed his advice and when I marred my new-to-me car, I didn't even search for another auto repair shop to paint my baby, I went straight to Bob! His team did an excellent job with the repair and I was extremely happy with the process, from the time that I dropped the car off to the time that I picked it up. read more

My car looks brand new and I almost didn't recognize it when I went to pick it up. They did an excellent job. Bob was also super nice and finished the job on time. I got estimates at a few places and this was the most affordable. My expectations were exceeded. Definitely recommend! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Affordable Auto Works / Affordable Collision, located in Raleigh, on Capital Bld.. I am a big fan of customer service, high quality work at a fraction of the price, and this place delivered! Kristin the GM and Richard the owner, went above and beyond my expectations! Thank you again for all of your help! With gratitude, Andrea read more

Bob is super friendly and seems to really care. Did a great job on painting my entire truck that had sat peeling for 10 years. Best friend is taking her car to get painted here now and have given out Bob's card to at least 2 other people after seeing the truck. read more

Affordable is a joke. Took a 21 year old car for an estimate and the dude looked at it for 1 minute then said $4500. Are you kidding me?

I wish Yelp offered 6 stars because Bob and the Affordable Auto Body team absolutely deserve it. I was in a bad car accident and Bob helped me every step of the way, from arranging towing, to interfacing with the claims adjuster and finding a body shop to assist with my car's bent frame. If you are looking for top notch work and the best customer care you will ever experience, please go see Bob! read more

Very thoughtful and helpful. Nice people. (Miller and Richard) Kept me informed as to progress. Most importantly the work was outstanding!

Bob is as genuine and nice as they get in this business. I accidentally smashed my sideview mirror into my garage and took it to him for a estimate. He broke down the prices fairly and even rounded it down for me. His estimate was a good $125 less than what I got from other shops. He genuinely seemed like he cared about his customers and wasn't in the business to swindle from those like me who don't know a single thing about cars. I've been recommending Bob for anyone who might have had an accident or needs a new paint job. Fingers crossed I won't need to make another trip here, but I now know where to go! read more

Bob's crew did a great job refreshing my 20+ year old car with an all-over paint job. They did some body work, prepped and put a very nice looking factory paint job on it. I got a quote for a low-cost single-stage production job as well. Affordable came in higher, but for a much better paint job and personalized service. I'm glad I went this way rather than "cheap." read more

Took my car in for an estimate late in the afternoon, got a good price for the work, ordered the bumper which came in the next day and the work was done the following day. It looks as good as new. I hope I have no more accidents, but if I do I'll be back. Great service, friendly professional staff. read more

I took my truck by to get an estimate on painting the roof and hood and doing a spray in bed liner. The price was very reasonable and he even installed some replacement headlights at no additional cost. Truck was ready when he promised it and Bob did a great job. Completely satisfied with the results. read more

These guys are exactly what you're looking for. I scraped my car and they repaired & repainted perfectly. They're honest, their price was reasonable and they actually finished a day early. It's been well over a month and my car still looks brand new. I loved working w/ Kristen & Bob and will be back whenever I have an autobody issue. read more

My 96 Miata was in serious need of a new paint job, clear coat had failed on the hood trunk and rear of the car. Numerous dings and scratches everywhere. My back bumper was damaged to the point where I was positive it would have to be replaced. Went to Affordable Auto painting where the owner, Bob, immediately walked outside to meet me. I got an estimate in minutes which included repairing the bumper that was amazing for a two stage paint job. Picked my car up a few days later and was floored by how great it looked! The color match to the original Montego Blue was perfect and the paint looked like something you'd pay twice the price for! You just can't beat his expertise, service, and price! read more

I brought my car here based on the great reviews it received on line and I'm glad I did. Our Nissan Versa was in need of a new front bumper and repaint the rear bumper...no problem. Great price and job. Bob runs a super efficient shop. Work was done super quick. Wife was very pleased! Happy wife happy life!!! read more

Bob and team did a beautiful job bringing my Jeep back to life after some major denting/scatching from a recent accident. I visited a few other well-reviewed auto body shops for quotes prior to visiting Affordable Auto and waited days - one instance over a week - for responses. Rebecca walked out to my car the second I said I was looking for an estimate, took a few photos and delivered all of the info in 15 minutes. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly and professional. I hopefully won't need to visit them again anytime soon, but am thankful to have found a reliable shop if there's ever a need in the future. read more

Greatest experience - highly recommend Affordable! They were always available to answer questions, knowledgeable about what needed to be done and they were true to their name - Affordable! I was very happy with job they did when we picked the car up. Bob took care of everything...... read more

This place is really wonderful. Bob took amazing care of my car and made a really stressful and unfortunate situation as easy as it could be. I would never know there was damage too my car! They did such an amazing job and kept pleasantly surprising me with cost cuts. I will recommend this place to anyone I know who needs repairs done to their cars. Thanks bob! read more

TAKE YOUR CAR HERE FOR ANY SORT OF BODY WORK OR PAINT. Recently, I had someone scrape up my bumper...something fairly small. We got two other quotes in the $800 range. Bob at Affordable charged us $500, including tax! I just picked up my car, and it was done before we had expected and it was so well done. I can't say enough nice things about this place and the man running the show. Going anywhere else for body work is a mistake. read more

They did an excellent job! I had received several quotes from different places and they had the best price and we're very easy to work with. Would highly recommend read more

I don't post reviews often, but only do so when I encounter an exceptional business. I found Affordable Auto Painting through google and Angie's List reviews. As I recall, Affordable was the only paint shop to have 100% 5 star reviews, and a great sample size of 45 of them. I shopped around at another shop Econo auto body, which only did single stage paint (like Maaco), and they were trying to charge me almost as much as a 2 stage paint job that Bob had promised me. They did some body work to my 1996 Nissan 300x, stripped the old green paint, and painted it a beautiful ultramarine blue. It looks like it is pretty much new off the lot! I am extremely happy with the quality work they did and will happily recommend them to anyone. Looking at the website, the owner Bob only has a couple unclear pictures of his work. Those pictures do not do his work justice. If you go to his shop, and take a look at the example vehicles he has on premises, the cars are painted just as well as a car out of the factory. If I had a recommendation it would be to include a gallery of more cars he has painted before and after because pictures are a thousand words. But the reviews don't lie. I am really thrilled at the new life instilled into my older sports car and can't stop looking at it! Btw, his shop is a little hard to get to. We had to circle around a couple times. When you get to Capital Blvd stay on the left side at the fork. 100 ft after you will see a bright color sign that says Affordable Auto Painting. If you follow the GPS it might take you to another shop. read more

Recently a neighbor backed into my vehicle and damaged my front grill. Luckily, my neighbor left a note of apology and a phone number. I brought my car to Caliber in Raleigh and they couldn't look at my car to give me an estimate for 6 weeks. I then called Caliber in Cary, and their reply was 4 weeks before they would be able to provide me with an estimate. After a couple of calls to other repair shops, I called Affordable Auto and spoke to Miller, explaining my situation. She told me to come to the shop at my convenience, which I did the next day. Upon arriving at the auto repair shop, Tevin almost immediately came out to look at my car to see what part was needed in order to provide me with an accurate estimate. Having the estimate in my hand, I presented it to my neighbor and he gave me a check to cover the repairs. I called Miller and asked her to order the part, and to please call me when it arrives so I could bring in my vehicle. A week later I received a call from Miller, and made a plan to bring my car in during my lunch break, and pick it up at the end of the day. Affordable Auto Works provided a like new repair and wonderful customer service, and I would recommend their services. read more

When I pulled up to this body shop, Bob came right out to greet me and gave me an estimate quickly and efficiently. He ended up replacing my side mirror, front bumper, and repainting my entire car for a very reasonable price. When I picked up my 2005 Nissan Sentra, I couldn't believe how clean it looked. My car had several small scratches and paint chips before bringing it to Bob's. When I saw my car after the work was completed, it was perfectly white again with no dings visible. I am very happy with the work, and I even have a two-year warrantee on the paint job. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Paint job was fine. Reasonable price, decent work. PROBLEM: they drove my car approximately 270 miles while they had it. I clear my odometer and log my mileage every time i fill my gas tank, done it my whole life. Somehow my odomoter had 300 miles on it and a completely full gas tank when I picked it up from them. At least they filled the gas tank up. If i didn't track and clear my odometer every single time i get gas, wouldn't have noticed. Sadly for them, I do. Would not recommend or return b/c they've lost my trust. And no, I didn't just forget to clear my odometer. Mileage log shows about 270 miles unaccounted for since dropping car off to be painted. Also, noticeable white dusty handprints on the moon roof and two different AC vents. BEWARE: your car may be driven--a lot--while they have it. UPDATE in response to Bob's comment: The car was ready on a Friday afternoon but due to my work schedule and Bob's hours, I was unable to pick the car up til the following Thursday (and was not charged for additional storage time, which i appreciate). Meaning, the car sat there over the weekend. If i'm an employee and need a car for myself or a family member, and i know there's a perfectly good car going unused over a weekend that i can "Borrow" and have back by monday, well.... what the owner doesn't know doesn't hurt them, right? I keep a detailed mileage log for tax purposes and somehow the car acquired an additional 270 miles just sitting in the parking lot, while maintaining a full gas tank. I didn't contact the owner b/c i wasn't looking for a refund. I figured he would deny it--he was either aware of the problem and would deny it, or truly unaware that the car was borrowed and would deny it. Either way, won't change that it happened. I noticed the mileage and gas tank discrepancies two minutes after leaving the parking lot. I waited to post the review b/c i don't like to leave negative reviews and i debated for a long time about whether to do so. I decided, in light of all the glowing positive reviews, that it might be helpful to others to document my experience. It also wasn't that big a deal to me so i kept forgetting to do so--I am disappointed that my car was driven without my permission and i will not be recommending them, but it's not an actionable offense, either. Boils down to, my mileage log doesn't lie. The car mysteriously acquired 270 miles sitting in a parking lot and the gas tank mysteriously refilled itself. My fault for letting it sit there over a weekend after it was ready, but i didn't have any other options. Since this review was filtered, i suspect few people will see this anyway but at least be aware there's a possibility your car will be driven without your knowledge. read more

Went to Affordable Auto Paint and Body in early August and met with Brad, Shop Mgr....I told him I had been to several body shops in and around Raleigh, and I wanted to get an estimate to do a color change, paint Job on my 1992 Mustang....I did not have my car with me, so Brad did not want to do an estimate without seeing the car, but I just wanted to get an idea if they were really Affordable...I came back with the Mustang the next day and Brad looked it over and gave me an estimate...Not only was their price better, but the turnaround time on the paint job was a lot sooner also...Comparing Apples to Apples, lets just say I saved several hundred dollars and about 2 weeks total on what Brads estimate was for compared to the rest of the body shops who gave me a quote...I delivered the car to the shop the next week, and crossed my fingers that they could and would deliver...Well about 2 weeks later, just as promised I got the call that I could come and inspect the car...It was outside, sitting in the sun, Glowing in Viper Red...You should have saw the smile on my face...Not only did it look great, but Affordable Auto Paint and Body delivered even more to me than I had expected, especially at the price point we settled on...After all, I did not have an unlimited budget, and they did not use all of it up either...I can truly say that I am 100% satisfied with my paint job, and the customer service that Bob and Brad gave me before and after the job was first rate... I highly recommend you take your car to Affordable Auto Paint and Body, when you need auto paint, or body work... Stan B., Fuquay Varina NC... read more

Bob is amazing. I am very satisfied with his service. I came in about a few weeks ago because my father crashed into my car. He made me car look better then it did before I came in. He also works very fast and wastes no time. I recommend him for any one. Thank you! read more

Bob and his crew did a great job with repairs & painting on our 2002 Camry after a minor collision caused significant front-end damage. We initially took the car to Gerber Auto Body in Cary, NC for an estimate, and their estimator stopped calculating once the estimate surpassed $4,500: more than twice the value of the car at that time!! An acquaintance and former insurance adjuster recommended we call Affordable, and they did not disappoint. Their estimate came in well under the quote received from Gerber at just under $2,000!! Bob worked us into their schedule quickly and repairs were completed on time as promised, too. Finished product looked great, and there were no surprise costs, etc. after the fact. Very pleased overall and will definitely use them again (although hopefully there won't be a need any time soon)! read more

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Not only did he take me pretty much same day but it was affordable and the service was OUTSTANDING! I drove around to many shops to fix my Mini Cooper. The door was done due to an accident. I was worried since not all shops can work on German Cars. Well Bob does it all! They were fast (got my car back in 3 days) friendly and understanding. Thank you!! read more

All I can say, is you should see my car -- a 16 year-old, 2002 325i BMW which looks brand new. She was once black and now she's a beautiful silver with just the right amount of bling. Best referral I can give -- all the staff, from the owners, service managers to mechanics came out of First Class Auto (my fantastic auto service store of 12 years) to rave about my car! They were so impressed and were talking about things I had no idea of -- so, Bob -- you did a timely and outstanding job, all at an affordable price. This was coming from guys who really know their cars. Sorry there is not enough room to gush about your old fashioned, honest and fair customer service that everyone receives. I don't think you know a stranger. Thank you for taking care of my baby -- now where's my picture???? read more

They did an awesome job repairing deep scratches on our SUV and made it look brand new again. Their quote was much lower than others we got. Friendly and personable. Highly recommend. read more

I picked up my car today and the paint looks like new!

Honest, fair, and reasonably priced! Bob and his associate Brad were so helpful in figuring out the right fix that would last for the broken front bumper on my Honda Fit. Brad walked me through all the options and they had it fixed quickly and got me back on the road. They also refurbished my headlights that had gotten all cloudy. They were honestly also just lovely, really nice people! Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Sparing you all the details, suffice it to say that Bob, the owner, solved an unusual paint problem I was having with my Fiat--one that had stumped the dealer and the Fiat forums. His shop did beautiful work at a very reasonable price. Also, I took in my partner's 20-year old Lexus for a passenger door replacement and a driver's side door handle. Another beautiful job -matching 20-year old paint even! Again this work was done at a very reasonable price. Plus both Bob and his manager, Brad are super-friendly and treat you like family from the get-go. I highly recommend Affordable! read more
