About six weeks ago, my husband had a tire blowout in our Jeep that sent him on an unexpected…read more"off-roading" adventure -- and it caused quite a bit of damage. I've used Phil's before and always had a great experience, so of course I recommended them right away. They didn't disappoint! Even with some hiccups dealing with insurance and waiting on parts, the team at Phil's handled everything like true pros. The Jeep looks as good as new! If you ever need body work done, I highly recommend Phil's. The staff are friendly, professional, and truly have your best interest at heart -- plus, their work is top-notch!

I dropped my car off here on Feb 23rd. As of today Feb 27th, I have not heard from anyone at the…read moreshop. Not a good beginning. I'll update if they do! Now Feb 29th. No word from Phil's. Great! March 6th and still don't even know if the parts showed up. Don't understand the reviews. So far they are terrible. Today is March 7 still have no idea thank you. No update as expected. Called their shop. Parts only arrived today I was told. Different than what I was to when I called them last time which was parts where there Thursday . Lied then or now? More over they just don't care. Only communication from Phil's in two weeks. On March 4th. "Hey Daniel, this XXX over at Phil collision center. Just wanna give you an update on your BMW. It's Still waiting on the doors . I called this morning . They said they were out for delivery . I still not seen them but As I do We will get started on that for you and I will also give you a call as soon as Do you have any questions? 3 5 2- 7 8 7- 1 3 0 8..." March 15th. Close to a month now my car has been in this shop. Unbelievable. I was in fact called on March 13th to inform me they were painting the doors. Oh my! I asked specifically to let me know if it would be ready Friday and to please let me know. Of course I've heard nothing from them today. Painful to do do business with. Shop called at 2:49 and said the car could be picked up at 4:00. Then they tell me have to have cashiers check to pick it up. Just a pain to do business with. STAY AWAY My advice. Haven't even seen the car yet. 3/19/24 - Went to pick up car. Polishing compound around the windows clearly visible. Spot on right rear qtr panel un-repaired. What a pain. No communication and poor work. 3/21/24 - Waiting on them to let me know when it's actually ready. Looks like another week waiting on them to finish. Over a month! Keep that in mind! 4/1/24 - poor job on car. Shop not cooperative in fixing their own issues. Manger using profanity because he has no leg to stand on for the poor work and worse communication.

Basically, I have all of the same concerns that YOU probably have when selecting a mechanic - who…read morecan you trust, and who is going to rip you off? Generally, I'm reluctant to give 5 stars to a business, because I can usually find some fault somewhere, but A-1 really deserves high praise. I was new to the area about two and half years ago, and had what I thought was a major problem with my truck A/C. Based on an ad on a restaurant menu that stood out, I took it to A-1. The owner, Beau, found the problem was a 53 cent part that was malfunctioning, and sent me on my way (very surprised, and happy). There was probably no better way to come to understand that this was a man, and business, built on integrity and honesty. For me, that would be more than enough to earn my repeat business, but over the past two years, Beau and the team at A-1 has also proven to be more than capable at diagnosing and repairing every issue I've had. He has ASE certification, and knows his stuff. His prices are more than fair, as well. This is as good as it gets, folks. I'm sorry to be leaving the area, because I truly trust this business, and it's owner. Do yourself a giant favor and give your business to this guy. Curtis

I will never again use this company, and do not recommend them…read more I took my car to A1 Car Repair in Eustis because my AC had suddenly stopped working. I was told there would be a diagnostic charge of about $125 and that it would take 2 or 3 days. The next day I received a link via text with a quote. The quote included the diagnostic charge, indicated that I needed a new battery (which would cost about $450 and included all of the hold down brackets and other parts that I can't imagine are really necessary), and a $15 quote for an AC clutch. I declined the overpriced battery but approved the AC clutch. The next day I received a text link with an invoice that indicated the work was completed; however, the invoice link only charged for the diagnostic charge (nothing for the AC repair). I called to get clarification and the owner said they could not complete the AC diagnostic unless I approved the battery replacement. I explained that I am not willing to pay $450 for a battery replacement. (He said that is the going rate, and I won't get a better price from anyone else. I am able to buy a high-quality battery for $250.) I TRIED to ask whether I could replace the battery myself and return to complete the diagnostic. He went completely off at me! He said, "I am not in the business of diagnosing problems and then people doing their own repairs!" He would not let me explain that I wanted them to do the AC work. I remained calm. I asked him to please listen to me and let me speak, but he was having none of it. I finally just hung up. There was no way for me to pay the diagnostic fee remotely, so I called back to pay it over the phone. The line was answered by an AI bot that indicated I was to leave my contact info and someone would call me back to receive my payment info. I had no way to know whether hackers had taken over their phone line and might call me to steal my CC info, so I was unwilling to use that system. I tried several times to contact them, each time the Bot answered. I suspect they were simply screening my call. Finally, I had my husband call. He was able to make payment over the phone. It turned out that they had reduced the diagnostic fee to around $65, which was appreciated. But it did not make up for the disrespectful and rude treatment I received from the owner.

Well, he doesn't have a six-pack but our car sure looks good. We called about 8 auto repair places trying to find someone to fix a sunroof leak that drained at the driver's side foot area. It only rains in Central Florida everyday and keeping a trashbag on the roof, held down by bricks, sure is sexy but it's not a long-term solution. Body Perfect did an excellent job -- the work was done fast, came in way under the estimate we got from the Nissan dealership, they guaranteed the work, and washed the car. It was such a great experience and we didn't walk away feeling swindled. I highly recommend it.

Bodywork and paint back then required a good eye and real know-how. Seeing the results on our "Carbon Edition" Mazda back from Samuels, on time, below estimate, after a minor (but very visible) job requiring blending, brought me back to that place in time. The quality of work here is second to none. Their customer service with Brittany at the helm, absolutely exceptional.
