I brought my 2003 Celica GT-S to Gamble's based on the recommendation of a tinting shop. He specializes in classic Volkswagens mostly, with his shop filled with bugs, buses, and Karmann Ghias. Some of the vehicles I saw in his shop looked like they could win car shows. There was also a '68 Corvette in the shop getting a full paint job.
My car had a cracked front bumper, and the paint was coming off the plastic trunk handle. The bumper needed to be replaced, and MC (the owner) quickly found a brand-new genuine Toyota bumper for a lower cost than what the dealer quoted me. MC quickly gave me a quote, and stuck to it the entire time. The price is less than what I would have paid at one of the larger shops which get the volume of collision-insurance repairs. The trunk handle piece was a head-scratcher. It turns out that Toyota chromes the entire plastic piece, then paints over the chrome, leaving a strip of visible chrome around the edge. MC worked hard to save the chrome and just fix the painted part. Most other shops would've simply thrown the piece away and charged for replacement.
MC had the job finished in only two days, and I was blown away by how good my car looked. I can't tell that there was ever any damage, and the genuine parts fit perfectly. His work is top-notch. He kept me updated during the entire process, and was very open and honest. I have dealt with plenty of shops, some worse than others, and I am glad to say, I did not feel one bit apprehensive about trusting Gamble's Finishing with fixing my baby. They even washed the car, and vacuumed and dusted the entire interior. I would highly recommend this business to anyone. read more
