Just got back from Derrell"s Body Shop where I had a very pleasant experience…read more While working in my garage I had dropped a jack stand on the hood of my wife's, new to her, 2016 Mazda Miata. I waited a week to tell her so it wouldn't ruin her Thanksgiving holiday. After getting a recommendation from the local parts store and reading reviews on line I decided to get an estimate from Derrell's for the repair. I'm not sure who I talked to, but he seemed like the owner -maybe Mike? I mean that as a compliment because he was down to earth, just like one of the employees, not an authoritative owner type. He walked out with me to my car and looked at the dent in my hood then went inside and got one of his technicians (coworkers) who buffed the dent to asses the condition of the paint. Fortunately the paint was still good underneath the scuff and we decided it could be fixed by popping the dent out. He called his dent specialist and found out that he was in the Myrtle Beach area (where I live) on Mondays. This he thought would be easier and save a trip to Conway for me. Meanwhile the technician also buffed out some scuffs on my rear bumper. With the business card of his dent repair specialist in hand I asked him how much I owed him and he said nothing. As I walked out the door he told me to practice safe jack stand handling techniques in the future. Dustin

I really can't speak highly enough about the Father-son partners that own the shop. They did a great job at a way more reasonable price and a very reasonable time frame. They even did a few things at no cost. We even had them do our oil change service since it was time. Couldn't be happier. We'll definitely be back with any car repairs we have come up that they can do. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would!

From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, approachable, and actually took the time to explain things without making me feel rushed or clueless. That alone is gold. I'm no stranger here, I've been coming for years, and that consistency matters. They always take my schedule, long drives, and my kids' safety into account when recommending anything, which is such a thoughtful, personal touch you don't find everywhere. What really stood out from day one? No gimmicks, no upselling, no "mystery problems" magically appearing. Just straightforward, genuine service. They tell you what you need, what you don't, and let you decide without pressure. It's refreshing in a world where that's not always the norm. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in both their work and how they treat people. Reliable, honest, and just all-around good humans. Definitely not a rip-off spot, this is the kind of place you keep coming back to and recommend to everyone you know.
