Integrity is their constant primer. Yes a bit costly but no argument when task is done

Pete helped me find the source of a vexing water leak and refused to charge me, despite giving me an hour of his time. All class.

Fantastic paint jobs top-notch. I would highly recommend them. The staff is very friendly and goes above and beyond!!

This place is great. It's a hidden gem. I've been coming here for all body shop needs since I was a kid. Quality of work is amazing. Nick is a really nice guy and they get body work done quickly. read more

This is my second day back at this location. First time I came here Gonzalo & Mikey were the ones to help me get an oil change. Something so simple, but they gave me the best customer service. My return coming back, Isaac, Mikey, & Johnny helped me get my breaks replaced. Isaac was very insightful on educating me on my breaks and showing how crucial it was for me to fix them. Reasonable prices & exceptional service from their team! Definitely going to be a return customer! read more

My damaged RV now looks new thanks to Cesar and Santini P&B's quality work. Thank you!

Experts at matching paint! They take great care of their customers. I've been going there for over 20 years, and I'll never take my car to another body shop. read more

My car had been vandalized to the extent every fender, doors, hood, trunk, rear window, and windshield, and bumpers; had been impacted in some fashion. The expertise of this three generation old family business luminated as Nik walked around the car during his initial inspection. Assured me it was going to be alright and never swayed from his professional demeanor. Even during the repair Nik and his team isolated additional damage and he kept me informed, plus worked very close with my insurance company to keep them informed of the claim variances. These guys are true professionals and working with them I understand why they have attracted everyday guys like me to celebrities that are looking for the best in the business to do the pet frame up restoration project they have. You can leave your vehicle knowing it will be done right and in a timely manner. If you ever are in need of any bodywork by need or doing anything custom to your pride and joy vehicle, you are really doing yourself a dis-service not calling Santini's; you'll be glad you did!!!! read more

I've been doing business with them for 20+ years. Always high quality paint and body work and never any overspray! They are honest and easy to work with. They do quite a bit of "high end" work and are well known in the SEMA community with cutting edge paint matching and equipment. Very good! read more

Thank you so much for helping me out on my Belair...you did it so much quicker than I expected. Always a pleasure dealing with you Pete and Nick, and thank you again for all the years of help on my showcars....much love...the one and only Kat P.S, you are not a jerk, the other guy must have met you on a bad day...you are the master painter from the OC and a legend in Hot rods and Customs..as just about every car magazine in the World has recognised you as such, you are also a professional business man who has been in the same location for as long as I can remember.....and after almost 20 years of dealing with you I think I would know if you were a dick or unprofessional....I know plenty of painters that are flakes and you are not one of them...so Thanks again and see you soon.. Send Stevie Stanford my love... read more

Awsome work on my truck. Great service and great turn around time. Thanks read more

GREAT JOB! I practically totalled my car in a front end accident and they took great care of my 2007 Lexus IS. My cars color ( Glaciar White Mica) is no longer made and they matched the paint color PERFECTLY! Not to mention they had my car ready in 2 weeks as promised, when other shops were quoting me 4 weeks in work. I dont know what the last guy is talking about, this is by far the best shop to go to for paint and body. I will be taking my other vehicles here for paint and body. read more

We took our car to Santini after insurance claim knowing them for 20 years. After paying a $500 deductible and $9000 on repairs the unresolved single issue that was a complicated fix we were told they were done and would not be fixing the car. Told we needed to contact our insurance company and reopen the claim . The car took almost 8 months plus to get repaired and they would not finish the work. They assured us we would be getting the issue resolved no matter what it took only to have them go back on there word. Sad thing to be a customer so long and not hold up on there word. I don't recommend the shop anymore and there word is no longer something to count on. Try a shop with honesty. This one no longer holds true. read more

This 3rd generation business is A++ in terms of customer service and quality. It's a family sized business not a big box experience you find just about everywhere else. You get things done fast without all the hassles. Highly recommend. read more

Just want to say this is my second repair from Santinis and can't say enough good things about Pete, Nick and there staff! I just picked up my new Lexus from there and was ecstatic at the quality of the work they did to it. Let me tell you I am over anal and picky about everything, and especially my cars! I couldn't find one thing to complain about! Just wanted to thank them and let everyone know if your looking for a body shop and you have high expectations as I do you will not be disappointed bringing your vehicle here. Hands down great people and great work! Thanks guys for putting up with me calling every five minutes checking on my baby. She looks fantastic! I can't thank you guys enough! read more

I have been dealing with Pete at Santini's for over 25 years. He has painted and repaired everything from my daily drivers, to drag race vehicles that won "best Appearing Car" the first time out. The staff are all well trained and monitored by Pete, who has probably forgotten more about paint and body than most people will ever know. The negative comment about color matching below must be a joke or something because I sincerely have not met anyone that takes the time to match a panel as well as this shop. Santini's has been dealing with clear coat paint jobs (found on most cars these days) for a few decades or more and I have never been short of amazed at the work done on my personal cars. If you REALLY care about how your car looks after paint or body damage, you can't go wrong taking it to this shop. I am in no way related or compensated by anyone affiliated with this shop. Just a regular business man that would like to give an honest appraisal of a business that is top notch in my book. read more

This place rocks!! They do top notch work. All is show and magazine quality work!!! Pete is a GOD when it comes to the art of painting!!

I had a fender bender in my 1950 Chevy, and Santini's was able to perfectly match 10-year-old metallic red paint perfectly. The body work was also flawless. My car looks better than it did before the accident! Pete and his crew are very personable too.I highly recommend Santini's! read more

I want to thank Santini's shop. They had excellent personnel. They did a wonder job & I will never go to another paint shop the rest of my life. They treated me like family and are definitely the best. -Big Z read more

Nick did me a huge favor. I came in to get an estimate because i hit the garage and it left paint marks. Nick came out and said hold on a sec came back out and buffed out the paint marks. He was super amazing and so helpful. Very honest guy! I would absolutely recommend going there!! Thank you Nick that was awesome! Im stoked!!! read more

Pete is the master flame painter.. nobody does it better. He painted my truck 10 years ago and people still go gaga over it. Santini Paint and Body have been doing it longer and better than anyone else. read more

If your lookin' for a shop that can really do quality custom paint work, look no further than Santini's! Pete and Nick did my 2009 HHR SS several months ago, Pete helped guide me with my ideas of what I wanted to do, recommended several different options ( which were the right options ) and pulled off what I consider one of the best looking HHR's I have ever seen! There were several things when all was said and done that Pete was not happy with, he told me to bring it back after the paint cured in about a month. I returned the car and the guy's at the shop took care of her in no time..... That is what you would call real true professionals that take a lot of in their workmanship. Thanks Pete and Nick! Proud to cruise around in that car. The look is killer you guy's! Mike Linkiewicz read more

Awesome staff, awesome job. Thanks Nick for getting my car fixed so quick. The color is perfectly matched. Santini is the only body shop that I trust. read more

Hi there. I have a new Oxford White 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost. I am looking to get 2 custom accent stripes painted on the sides of my car as well as paint the front chin spoiler and grills and rocker panels. How much would that cost approx. I made a couple of rendering of the basic look that I want and attached them to this email My email address is derekfahs@yahoo.com Thanks for your help! read more

Pete and Nick did a fantastic job on repainting my sister hood for her Chevy Cruze after I backed into it. They were quick and the color match was spot on! Their customer service is outstanding. I will definitely be referring all my friends to your shop! thanks for the great work! read more

My husband had used them to repair fender damage on a custom painted truck and they had done a beautiful job.. Then we had just the hood repainted on our Black 59 Impala.......They were able to match it perfectly. So when a lady ran into the back of my Nissan I went back to them. Again a perfect experience. I had given it to them for the estimate and then realized I would need it the next few days. No problem they were so nice and understanding. I took the car back and the car was ready when it was supposed to be and but they had also cleaned and polished the headlights. They do a great job and give great service!!! read more

These guys are terrific. Had three dents with deep scratches on the hood of my 1964 Buick Electra convertible, and Pete and the guys removed the dents and repainted the hood in the difficult-to-match color black perfectly. The finish did not look this good when the car left the factory over 50 years ago. They were prompt, communicated clearly when it would be finished, and offered a very fair price. Would definitely go back to them if I have any further body or paint needs. read more

Pete repaired some damage and matched a triple stage House of Kolor paint on my 1968 Camaro show car. I could not be happier. The match was perfect, the SS stripes exact and the color sanding a polishing were excellent. If you have a custom or classic that needs repair, take it to Pete! read more

Pete went out of his way to help me as a dumb local kid learn about paint and custmizing cars now that's my how I've made my living for over 20 years. He has painted over 10 Cars including magazine cover cars. Santini paint quality is only exceeded by the quality of the person read more

Totally recommend Santini Paint. Pete has over 30 years experience and always keeps up on the latest trends of auto painting and customizing. For those who have the guts to give negative ratings for this auto body & paint shop, obviously have their own personal issues they need to overcome....Just sayin... read more

great job on my 43' go fast boat and it was hi tec detailed paint and he did a great job .. can't tell that entire boat was painted .. would definatly recommed that you get your work done by santini al read more

I have an old Triumph Motorcycle that had a custom paint job with a lace pattern and pinstriped that had been done 30+ years ago.. Took it to Pete Santini and he said he could come close to duplicating the pattern. Got it back and I was stunned. Amazing work. Much nicer than original. Truly a piece of art. And a good fellow also. Tom Garland Seal Beach read more

Wow just wow! I called today 7-13-16 at around 2:00pm and I was attempting to inquire about their services. The person who answered had a what do you want attitude.. So I asked if they do custom paint and the person said "No!" And immediately the person hung up on me! I was like wtf! So I called back right away and asked him why he hung up on me.. He replied I had a bad connection which is not true because I heard the phone being slammed. Anyway I continued to ask nicely and even asked for his name and he wouldn't give it to me!! He said why? And who is this?? In a very aggressive behavior. In my head I was thinking whoa man you must had a very bad day but it doesn't justify your behavior. How can a business like this treat their potential customers?!! I don't get it. Then when I asked how much to have my car repainted he replied " it's $10,000 or more! Can you afford that?" At this time I was in shock already, what did I do to this person for him to get mad so much at me? This is the worst call I've ever had for a business. Really upsetting they allow people like that answer the phone or work at a professional setting. If only I could take out that one star on Yelp because they don't even deserve one single star. Do not come to this place! People are rude and disgusting. It's funny because he acts all tough on the phone to a customer. Such a shame this person ruined my day. read more

Worst Body Shop ever! These guys worked on my car and couldn't even match the paint on my car. When i asked them to reshoot it, the man himself said it looked ok, and there was nothing he could do about it. After giving them 4 tries to get it right, i said forget it after that experience. Its a small world, and people like Pete Santini don't deserve to stay in business anymore. What happened to him, they used to be good guys? My advice, go elsewhere when in need of paint and body care for your vehicle. read more

I went to Santini's because I had a few places on my car that the paint was starting to oxidize and peel. It wasn't something my insurance was covering so I was hoping for a good deal but also good quality. I'm so glad I went to Santini's, they gave me a fair price and not only took care of my paint but also removed some dents and got my car looking brand new when I got it back! They are a family owned business which I always like to support, and they do everything from custom paint to insurance work. I will definitely use them again. read more

Excellent service! I went in for a full custom paint job. They were really good to me and the work was GREAT! If I ever need anything else done, I'll surely be coming back to Santini Paint & Body! Thanks Pete read more

Unbelievably wonderful people. I got tapped in the rear bumper and already had estimates of $900ish from two shops for repaint work. I was driving by and stopped at Santini's for a third look on a whim. They told me might buff out can we try first and then write estimate if not? In less than 10 minutes my car was fixed and they did it for free. Said "write a Yelp review" is all they ask. DONE! They were happy to help and respectful of my regular person car that is not a fancy hotrod or collector car. These are true car people while the other shops are parts replacement machines. They will be first on my list should I ever need body and/or paint attention again. read more

Surfboard put a ding in the nose of my classic 68 Camaro. Color match perfect. Workmanship the best. Couldn't be more pleased. Quality is not cheap, worth every penny however. Pete is an artist! read more

I took my restored 1955 Chevy convertible (with a 30 plus year old paint job) to Pete and his crew to address some worsening paint and body problems. Pete gave me a very realistic appraisal of what the potential problems could be (which turned out to be right on the money), how they might be fixed and what it could cost. Pete always kept me posted to what was going on as the work progressed and on several occasions he had me come out to his shop to see where we stood. As work progressed his estimates were always fair and more than reasonable. Pete's friendly crew were great as well and always more than willing to answer questions about the work they were doing. My paint and body issues turned out to be somewhat complicated and problematic (due to the poor work done 30 years ago) and the work Pete & his staff did was truly amazing! I was so impressed by what I saw I had Pete do more work that I originally planned to do. My car looks stunning! Thanks, Pete & crew! read more

I want to begin by saying I am in the insurance business as a field adjuster who goes into bodyshops every day. I get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly on a daily basis. I have worked in the insurance claims field since 1990 when I started working for the "Good neighbor" people until 2002. I have seen it all and Pete Santini is probably one of the most honest and qualified paint and body repair shops around. He has been in business in Westminster since the late 1970's and I met him in 1983. I knew his father , Pat, as well. Pat was in the industry too until retiring about ten years ago and had an excellent reputation in the South Bay area for over 30 years. It is a well known fact many higher end paint shops or custom paint shops try to get insurance companies to paint vehicles completely as they will claim they cannot match a custom candy or pearl color. Pete is the "Go to" guy buy most insurance companies when they are in a bind and need help when some opportunist body shop owner tries to gouge the insurance company. The insurance companies know they can trust Pete to tell them if it can or cannot be matched without painting the whole car. Pete is one of the few people who can do this and does this correctly. I have seen so many instances where Pete has gone out of his way to help people and even fix something for free that was not part of their insurance claim because he is just a good person. That's Pete. But sadly, you have customers who are opportunists and are simply miserable people who just can't be pleased. They thrive on sites like this because it gives them some power which they have likely never had before and they use it to make other people miserable too. They always seem to be the same type of people who want something for nothing. They are also usually completely uninformed about auto repairs as well as the major changes the industry has recently gone through with changing from solvent based paints to water-based paints. This (Like Obama Care), had not been completely proven to work before pushing it on the bodyshops which created nothing but problems for most shops with poor color matching and poor adhesion qualities. Then there are the insurance companies who try and push you in to "their" shop who gives them huge parts and labor discounts but offer a LIMITED lifetime warranty. Hence the term "LImited". All parts manufacturers only offer a 30 day warranty on a new factory part. That's why the warranty at the DRP shop says limited. Even on your new 2014 Honda Civic with only 1,000 miles on it. The paint manufacturer has their own warranty too. And if you have a paint problem, it's up to the paint company, not the bodyshop. So, the next unhappy person such as Homer L. makes in accurate accusations, consider Santini's is the last bodyshop standing on Westminster Blvd after 40 years. That can only mean Pete is doing something right. Not to mention his work has been in more automotive magazine feature articles than any other painter in the world. That's right. The world. Homer L. truly needs to get a hobby. read more
