OK my turn to write a late review! I brought my old 1993 Ford Pickup to Rick and got a very reasonable estimate to repaint and restore my old baby that's sat in the driveway for several years. I choose Rick out of 5 other body shops (all were much higher and not recommended as highly). Boy was this the right decision. If you're looking for collision body work or restoration like mine, go to Rick. He and his partner Greg are the tops. Thanks Rick and Greg for the great work.

This place was recommended by another car enthusiast. It's no lie we are a huge car family. The Mister's baby has easily 500K on the chassis. He was looking for a body shop to do some sprucing up on his car, replacing out the wing, trunk, side skirts and making sure the paint matched, all that fun stuff. We had a deadline for mid January, in order to showcase his car at the Eibach throwback meet. We dropped off the car the beginning of January and had it back in just over 3 weeks. Our quote was good for all the work they did Employees are super friendly.

Day of pick up

Brought in an ole 1956 Ford pickup with a lot of body work issues, Rick went through the truck assured me that's it's nothing he can't handle. His patience and workmanship was 2nd to none. I can tell you this is the best place to come where you won't be taken advantage of Rick definitely a stand up guy. Fair pricing but most of all takes the time needed never rushed through anything thanks again Rick will refer you to anyone that wants quality.

Look no further! Rick is awesome! I purchased a topper for my truck and it wasn't same color. Rick color matched it perfectly!! Great pricing and down to earth guy. I would highly recommended him to anyone needing some paint work. No matter how big or small of a paint job you need Rick is your guy!

I should have wrote this review awhile back. A friend recommended Ricks. Rick came out to my house to give me his thoughts and quote. I had a horrible experience with another painter. My car was all taken apart. Rick gave me reasonable quote. Went with Ricks Kustom and I'm sure glad I did. Greg and Rick do great work. Btw, this was all through the Covid madness. Now, I get numerous compliments on my car. I've referred about a dozen folks to Ricks. So, kudos to you Rick, and Greg. Thx.!

After Rick's magic touch!

I damaged the rear driver's side of my classic Corvair and found Rick Krehers Kustoms near my home. After a visit and a quote, I dropped my classic car off for repair. Rick and his crew did a fantastic job of repairing the metal to its original shape and skillfully blended the color and finish. The repair was completed quickly and handled with professionalism. I'm very happy with the results. Highly recommended!

I should have reviewed this shop long ago. Was looking for some one to repaint my 38 Chevy Sedan. The car was painted in 1996 and started to bubble and crack. I took it to Rick and told him I wanted just the way it was originally. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Then let the one attached do the talking. Well, He did such a great job, I took him my next project, my 2002 Dodge Viper. I wanted the entire car brought back tp the way it was when it was delivered from the factory. Rick could have easily sanded and primed the car and painted it. Instead he did exactly what I hoped he went through every panel and made sure it was perfect! Fixed and fitted the panels perfectly. Vipers are not bolted together they are mostly riveted. Rick drilled out the rivets because painting over them wouldn't be the correct way. He didn't cut any corners. I picked the car up a couple days ago and I can't stop looking at it. It is perfect he really out did himself!

See all

I brought in my 2022 Mazda Model 3 sedan which had a collision to the right front bumper causing it…read moreto separate from the fender. Lawrence Rhee General Manager, approached me and said it is relatively minor damage and that he could fix it right there. He gently pushed against the fender until the crease went away and pulled the bumper edge outward until it lined up flush against the fender. He did some other work quickly and finished after I came back from lunch. I couldn't believe my eyes! I got three other quotes up to $2600 requiring to replace the bumper and paint the fender to match! The car is over 5 years old but the entire body is in great shape. I wasn't looking for a perfect repair. Lawrence at the start asked if I wanted a perfect restoration or something reasonable. I definitely wanted something reasonable because I didn't want to go through my insurance company for an aging car. After he finished the repair, you can't even notice any damage. I wish more body shops were more honest like Signature Auto body. Last thing, I plan to come back with my other car that needs more extensive work but at least I know I'm dealing with someone who I can trust! :)

I brought my car in because the plastic part on the bottom front of my car was damaged (probably…read morefrom parking) and even though I pushed it up, it dangled to the ground. I was told I can replace the whole part, or he can fix it temporarily for me first. Then after 10 minutes or so I was told that a replacement for now is not necessary and I should be good to go. It was fixed free of charge and I am so grateful! It's so hard to find an autobody shop that is so reliable, so honest and so nice. I definitely would recommend Signature Autobody to everyone! Good and honest people still exist. A business like this is hard to find because as a woman, I always feel like I get rip off since I do not know much about cars and it's maintenance. I am happy I found Signature Autobody.

Professional. Very responsive. Quick to address my issue…read more Brought in my 19 civic on Tuesday that had a broken bracket, leaving the front bumper hanging a bit under the headlight. Sat down with Daniel and got the part ordered, which arrived on Wednesday. By Thursday midday, got the part replaced and was driving out the lot. I highly recommend Perfect Color. Jeff was quick to provide an estimate over the weekend and his team got the job done quickly. Will definitely be back for any future repairs.

The service here is A++. I had a friend paint some side skirts for me, but when I got them back,…read morethey had quite a bit of orange peel and needed to be cut and buffed. I contacted Daniel, and he was great to work with from the start. His pricing was fair, the turnaround time was reasonable, and he made the entire process stress-free. I had called several shops, and most of them wanted to repaint the side skirts completely. Daniel was one of the few who was confident they could correct the finish with a cut and buff, and the results exceeded my expectations. When I mentioned that I still needed the side skirts installed, Daniel let me know his team could handle that as well. After the cut and buff was completed, I brought my NSX in for the installation. Just as we were backing the car into the shop, it suddenly started leaking coolant everywhere. The team immediately jumped into action, cleaned up the coolant, rolled out wheel dollies, and carefully moved the car inside so it could cool down while they completed the installation. Daniel and Team even went the extra mile by calling around to find a replacement cap and topping off the coolant for me. Unfortunately, the cap didn't fit my aftermarket reservoir, but I appreciated the effort. After the installation, the installer noticed my reservoir cap looked secure but wasn't fully locked down. He sinched the locking mechanism properly, and the coolant leak did not return on the ride home. The quality of the work was outstanding, but what really impressed me was the customer service. The team went above and beyond to help with an unexpected problem, and that's the kind of service you don't see every day. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend this shop to anyone

We had a bad (and unique) accident that took a lot of steps, communication with insurance, and…read morecommunication with the collision center to fix. Crash Champions was great, especially Josue - super patient with all of my questions and concerns, and kept us on the best timeline possible. I've worked with a few collision centers and this is the only one I'd consider returning to.

The customer service here was extremely unprofessional and rude…read more I received a text stating that my car would be ready Friday. I explained that I worked and would be able to pick it up Monday morning. On Monday at 8:16 AM, I called and explained that I could be there at 9:00 AM. Marlene told me the car still needed to be washed, so I said not to worry about the wash because I had somewhere to be at 10:00 AM. I specifically spoke with Marlene, and she said okay. I showed up at 9:00 AM as we had discussed, only to then be told that my car needed to be calibrated and was not ready. What was especially frustrating was that this all happened within about 40 minutes of our conversation, when I had clearly told her I would be there at 9 and she had agreed. When I questioned this, Marlene went back and forth with me and insisted that she never said it was okay for me to come at 9:00 AM. She even denied the conversation in front of another customer. I found this incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. If there was a calibration that still needed to be completed, I should have simply been informed when I called rather than being told it was okay to come pick up my car and then being made to feel like I was wrong for showing up when I said I would. I did speak with the manager, Vernie, who actually listened to my concerns and apologized on behalf of the center. I appreciated him taking the time to hear me out. My advice: If you end up working with Marlene, I would recommend asking for a different advisor. Based on my experience, communication was poor, and I was left waiting for my vehicle after being told it was okay to come pick it up. Very disappointing experience with the customer service.
