Yelp Review for Danny's Body and Paint 1 Star Kyle B. - Anchorage, AK Posted: April 23, 2025 I had a disappointing experience with Danny's Body and Paint (8900 King St, Anchorage, AK) after they handled a repair for my 2019 Lincoln Nautilus. My insurance (GEICO) paid $566.67 for a new rim due to a minor accident. I wanted to keep the scratched rim as a spare, but Danny's kept it, claiming it was used as a "core" for the new one. There was no mention of this in any paperwork, and I never agreed to it. Rims aren't made with a "core" process, so their explanation doesn't add up. It feels like they took my property without permission. I asked for proof--like shipping receipts or invoices--showing where the rim went, but I'm still waiting. After 31 years with GEICO and no prior accidents, I expected better from their approved vendor. The lack of transparency has left me frustrated and distrustful. I'd caution others to double-check what happens to their parts here. read more

Use Dannys services for several years and was never disappointed with the work that was done.

I brought my 2015 Subaru Forester here, needing some light body work done from getting hit in a parking lot. I was excited when they told me it would be a week, but for 4+ weeks they kept having reasons (e.g. waiting on parts, wrong parts received, painter was having a day, paint was hard to match) for the vehicle not being ready, and kept saying the vehicle would be ready a few days later. I'd call, they'd be hard to get a hold of (they don't leave messages), and then there would be another excuse for it not being ready. Within a week of picking up my car I started hearing a clunk clunk from the area of the car they had worked on. I checked out the wheel and noticed 3 out of 5 of my lug nuts were finger loose, and one of my wheel studs was stripped. Instead of dealing with Danny's and losing my vehicle for another month+, I had it repaired and brought the invoice to Danny's in hopes they would be willing to fix their error. They refused. Their reasoning was that they never removed the wheel, and were quick to show a picture of the car being worked on, with the wheel on. They were not interested in working with me on this in any manner, and refused any accountability. I will not be going back here, and I will actively discouraging others to do the same. Update (4/19): They paid for the repair of the stripped stud. read more

I originally left a 5* but had to update after we picked up our vehicle As a lifelong Alaskan and owner of small businesses for decades, it's important to me to work with small businesses. My wife wanted to go to a large collision center but I promised her they would take care of us. Welp. I was wrong While waiting 2 months to get into the shop, we found a water leak that saturated the carpet from front to back. I expressed my concerns about mold we found and how it will affect our son with multiple allergies. We brought it to their attention and they said "Don't worry. We will take care of it and make it right. We will remove it to dry and shampoo it." Multiple times. State Farm denied the request and I was able to get it approved. I initially told them that even if the claim is denied, the work still needs to be done and I was willing to pay out of pocket. We pick up our car and the next day it was apparent the carpet was not addressed. They had our car for 3 weeks and the carpet is still wet. Never pulled. Never even shampooed. When I asked why the carpet wasn't addressed, he said "Claim was denied. We do dents, dings and paint. We don't deal with water damage or mold. State Farm was supposed to follow up with you and have you take it to someone else" WTF?!?! When I asked why he didn't call me to tell me his response was,"it's not my job to call you if your claim is denied." Keep in mind, we called several times to check on the status since a scheduled 5 day repair crested 3 weeks. He had more than enough opportunities to discuss our claims. Why didn't they tell me initially that they don't deal with water damage??? My wife and I on separate occasions both expressed our concerns about the water damage. If it's not something that you do, then why did you tell us you could? When I told him all that I had sated above, his answer was "Get the fu@k out" WOW Fu@k Danny's and the jerk who runs the front of shop. Totally uncalled for and extremely unprofessional read more

Absolutely terrible service, and hack jobs. Avoid like the plague, This is coming from someone whos been in the body and paint industry for over a decade. Full disclosure, I am not the paying customer, but I am dealing with the results of their shoddy work, which they refuse to stand behind. I bought a vehicle which had body/paint work done at Danny's just 3 months prior. The previous owner told me that the windshield they had installed started to leak but they took it back and Danny's "fixed it". Shortly after purchasing the windshield started leaking tons of water during a car wash. I removed the headliner to check for leaks and found where they had "fixed" it. Instead of removing and reinstalling the windshield correctly, they tried glopping urethane adhesive up in the cracks. This is NOT the correct way to fix a leak and it makes a much bigger mess. I took it to a local glass shop and they said they wouldn't work on it since it was such a mess. I called Danny's and they said to come in and they would need it for a day. I was happy they were going to stand behind their work and fix the mistake. After a few days without hearing back I called and they said they wouldn't fix it since I wasn't the original owner, even though it's work they did just 3 months ago. I explained that glass shops did not want to work on it and Joe responded with "Oh yeah, it's a mess, I wouldn't want to touch it either". He then told me they pay someone else to fix their glass so I figured they would have the glass installer come fix it at no cost to Danny's. He said they'd talk to the shop owner. I call the next day and he says have it in the shop and are working on it. After 2 weeks I call to see what the status is and I am informed that they will not be fixing it. They never once reached out to me, The car would have sat there for weeks or months if I did not keep calling. I show up to get it and it's covered in snow with a dead battery. As icing on the cake, the leak from the windshield started dripping on the radio and shorted out half of the buttons. I now have to buy hundreds of dollars worth of tools to do it myself, and hope I do not break the glass. Lastly I looked over the work order and found several hundred dollars worth of materials and labor they billed the last owner for that never got done. I guess they figured most people don't know how to read repair reports. TL:DR: Beware of this shop, they do not stand behind their work, they have zero communication, and they will make mistakes that no other shop will want to correct. read more

My bmw looked brand new after the repairs were completed . I was amazed at how clean it was inside upon return. Thank you !

Danny's does an amazing job! He has worked on several of my vehicles including my race car and he has always over delivered. read more

Fantastic job! My Lexus SUV did not come w a tow hitch or roof railings (for roof attachments, like ski racks and carry shells). On top of that, my bumper got badly damaged. Danny's Autobody & Paint took all the hassle out of working w my insurance co (USAA) and the price I got for the add-on features (roof railing + hitch) were substantially (!!) less than if I ad gone through the dealership. Start to finish, the experience and workmanship was on point!!! Great price, service, customer care, and quality of work! read more

I took my car there to have my side view mirror replaced; one week later my mirror was replaced. Great service and helpful employees. I would go to them again and recommend them to my friends. read more

I have not had to use many auto body shops in my lifetime but if this is how they are all operated I don't know how they stay in business. This business had my vehicle for over a month and I called them every Friday to check the status. Not once did they communicate with me about the status of the work they were doing, the communication they were having with the responsible insurance company(State Farm, Stacy Roy) or when the work on my vehicle was expected to be completed. When I called them on 3/13 I was told by Rob(that works the front desk there)that my vehicle had been ready for TWO weeks.He lied to the insurance company stating i was told my vehicle was ready when that was absolutely not the case. I was understandably very annoyed that nobody had called me ever with any type of update and he got very ugly with me stating that insurance was not agreeing to pay for all of the damages and they were done with it. This is without a single phone call to me to make me aware of what was going on. He then told me he would call State Farm the next day and we would have a conference call to discuss the claim. That never happened so I went to the shop 3/16 to pick up my vehicle (still not fixed) we had and angry exchange before I go to start my vehicle and its completely dead. After another employee jumped my vehicle I proceeded to go to work when all the gages went crazy, all the warning lights and bells were going off and a message on my dashboard "NO OIL PRESSURE, TURN OFF ENGINE IMMEDIATELY". I never had any such issue before they took possession of my vehicle. My Chevy Tahoe is in considerably worse shape since picking it up from them and they have done ZERO to make this right. I also requested that the owner return my calls on three different occasions to discuss my situation and never once did I get any type of response and my vehicle is still not fixed. I'm not sure what recourse a person has when when not treated ethically/professionally by a business but will definitely be finding out how it can be legal to accept payment for work that was not completed on top of returning my vehicle with problems it never had when I left it in their care. The worst service and experience ever! read more

Danny and his guys are amazing, I won't take my vehicles anywhere else! My truck was in a no fault accident and the my own insurance company was trying to skimp on repairs (even though they weren't paying for it) and Danny refused to allow it. My truck was repaired properly and I switched insurance companies. read more

Went to get an estimate for a complete paint job on a 1990 truck, first they were reluctant to come out and check out the truck, and then after just glancing at it for a few seconds he said it has a few rust spots, and he does not do rust, It had tiny rust stains where the 1990 GM paint has peeled (was a GM Paint issue that is well documented), So I said ok, no problem but I wondered why he was not interested in taking on a job that I was willing to pay between 8 and 15 k? To which I was told "you know fuck you, I do not have to explain why I wont do it, take your fucking paint job somewhere else or do it yourself" Quite a shocking turn of events, and probably the first time I have had a business person speak that way to a potential customer. I an only assume that since I was not argumentative or rude to him that it must be racially motivated, I am East Indian and he is American and he seemed offish from the time I walked in the store. read more
