    Clean Restroom and a cool fish tank.

    I don't know about you but working with auto insurance to repair your vehicle can lead to a little anxiety. IMPEX GAE is a full service collision repair shop a friend recommended I bring my car to and I'm glad I did. Located just a short drive from the Raymond James Stadium, the drop off process was quick and efficient. The staff offered to make me an espresso not once but twice (which I said heck yes to), and explained all the next steps. They even called ahead for the rental car company to pick me up. They have limited parking spaces in the front and side of the building. This review is for the drop off process only. Once I pick up my vehicle I'll post another review. Until then, give IMPEX a call and learn all about what they do.

    This is a follow up Yelp. I chose Impex GAE for repairing my wife's car totally based on all the amazing comments and 5 star ratings on Yelp. The bar was set really high and I must say from my experience, they deserve all 5 stars. From the moment we met Julio, to the quote, to the finished product and on time, absolutely stellar!! I'm a little picky on painting a car. It's never the same. But I must say, I now believe it is possible to get a Porsche factory paint job right here in Tampa Bay. Thank you Julio and your team of professionals for the amazing service and yes, the coffee was pretty awesome too!!

Whether or not you choose to use their services, they will report it to CARFAX. Even if you just came in for an estimate, but never had it repaired. Simply walk in and get a CARFAX damage report over a Minor Dent. I discovered a small dent on my car that occurred while it was parked. I went to Shalom auto body for a repair estimate. The estimate was outrageous for such a small dent, so I decided not to have it repaired. Today I found out that it was reported to CARFAX. There was no accident, no police report, no insurance claim, and no repair was done. This auto shop was the only place I went for an estimate. I highly recommend to stay away from this shady business. I wish I had never stepped my foot in there.

    EDITED review following business owner's response.: The…read morefact that this unprofessional owner chooses to respond to an honest review with lies and personality attacks is absolutely pathetic and extremely alarming. I'm glad I did not do any business with such bully. I'm editing my initial rating as this business does not deserve anything higher than lowest possible rating. Copied from owner's response: "fix the rewiews that is on the wrong list for you to be acting like is my fault.. this is the reason that people like you always being and acting the victim.." Owner took multiple pictures of the car, the VIN number, year, make, model and more. He also asked for my physical address to keep on his records, not my email address. I'm not sure what else this guy wanted. To this date, he never provided an estimate. Original: Wasted my time and never provided an estimate. I arrived to get a quick estimate for a simple repair. All they did was taking a bunch of pictures, asking questions, requested my information, and lastly asked me to step into the office and fill out paperwork. I didn't have time to fill out paperwork. I also don't understand why he would need information such as my address before he was even hired. I left my name and phone number and the guy said he will text an estimate shortly. He never did. A few days later I went to a different shop. They gave me a price right away. Just a simple quote for a simple repair.

From the day I purchased my…read morevehicle with Kobe in Dec 2023 to my tire purchase yesterday April 23, 2026 with Debi, they have always taken care of me. My original service advisor no longer works there so when I called for an estimate on tires I talked to Debi. She was so pleasant and helpful and she's now my service advisor. We hit it off right from the start which is a plus. She took time out to talk to me on a personal level, we got to know each other a bit which led to heartfelt hugs when saying goodbye for the day. Debi recommended the tires I purchased which agreed with my research prior to calling her. I am happy with my tires, alignment and oil change. Car ran great coming home. I'm still in love with my Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. *I'm leaving a review here because, for some reason, I do not receive the emails from the company. Frustrates me as I love to give kudos where they are deserved. Thanks for another great experience!

The battery/charging issue was not repaired as the tech stated "no problem found"... well my headlights should not be flickering and dimming every time I come to a stop... the blower speed shouldn't be getting reduced from 7 down to 1 then back again... obviously a voltage problem. Stop/start also didn't work. All of these power issues started immediately upon pick up after the alternator replacement. Well it got so bad that I had to jump start this 2024 that was purchased new. Well when jumping it I realized the tech didn't tighten the battery terminals when doing the alternator replacement! Silly me... If the guy leaves bolts untightened when replacing an alternator why would I think he would tighten the battery terminal he disconnected! Tightened it up, and it all works fine. So much for the typical "no problem found" response. Service writer is great, the techs they had work on my Jeep not so much...

    Interesting to see only one previous review before mine. And how long ago it was posted. I went to…read morethis place on a recommendation from a high end automotive shop just a block down the road (Rennen) and I am sad to say the end result has been VERY disappointing! Folks, if you have a nice car and you CARE about how it looks and getting the best results for your money DO NOT GO HERE!!! In my case I have a Mercedes Benz. Again I went here based on a referral so I assumed they must do good work. I had to have a fender replaced and front bumper needed repair as well. I was quoted a very good price but now I know why. Original work is already failing after less than a year (Clearcoat flaking, chipping in multiple locations) overspray etc. In full disclosure I should note before the problems started showing I did also bring the car back for them to repaint my trunk lid based on a quote he gave me from the initial visit. So far thats holding up ok but its not enough to compensate for the other problems. I took my car back to point these things out and was told I'm " One of those guys". In despair I still decided to leave the car with him thinking they would at least take care of the obvious issues and I even trusted them to repaint the hood of my car based on a quote I'd gotten from the owner on the first visit. This turned out to be a JOKE and a waste of time! They ignored the flaking paint issues AND Instead of repainting the hood they sanded down the area of ONE of the many pits and blemishes in the paint and then clear coated the hood!!! And in the process of masking for the spray they ruined my grille! Its only been 3 weeks now and the clear coat is peeling and flaking , my hood now looks worse than it did before the work!!! What takes the cake is I asked the owner SEVERAL times to make sure he understood I wanted the entire hood sanded down and repainted and he said "Yes"! Upon arriving to pick up my car and inspecting the "work" the painter could see I was livid. So I will say they did not charge me for the job, but it was because they know they bit off more than they could chew and I am sure they wish I'd never crossed their threshold. So you didn't charge me, MY CAR LOOKS WORSE THAN BEFORE I LEFT IT! When he quoted me a low price for repairs he should have told me to beware it would be for low quality work! Then I should have had the option to accept that or not. But to do the poor work and then call me "That Kind Of Guy" for giving a dam about not getting what I was expecting? C'mon! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!

I spoke with four or five different places and their prices ranged from a few hundred (for a quick misshaped fix on the dent) to quotes of $2000 (since the dent could not be "fixed") to replace my entire bumper. I spoke with Sammy the manager/owner and he told me $450 and he'd make it look new. I didn't believe him, but took him up on it and I was extremely happy. He fixed the dent and re-painted the bumper so it looks brand new! Sammy told me he has a few daughters who have vehicles with people trying to rip them off all the time, and I thanked him for his work. Definitely recommend this place!
