I went for an estimate, and the guy walked around my car, which mind you had very little to zero body work needed, and said oh this is going to cost you 6k at least for just a paint job on a small toyota corolla, out of their minds.

Went in for an estimate for my old jalopy. Pleasantly surprised. Very professional and fast.

I also wanted to let you know that high prices on fuel and cleaning supplies and the difficulty in finding staff at this time, cleaning fees have increased by $20 starting in May. Thanks for your understanding!

Came in and brought my adjuster paper work from car insurance company as someone told to me to when I called earlier. the person who deals with insurance was working with an couple so I sat patiently and waited once he was done. He continued to work, make phone calls and etc like I wasn't there at all. It's so hard to just get simple customer service these days

Professional, Punctual, HONEST. I had two body issues with a brand new car that I had only 2 weeks, dent in the trunk, and rocker panel scratched to the frame. Dominic to the rescue! He gave me a very fair, honest quote of which I returned my car to him to fix. Both jobs were complete same day. My car looked brand new again! I am so thankful their are still honest people who do not take advantage of those do not know the difference between a $700 fix from a $7k fix. Dominic and his team are top notch!

I have a brand new Jeep Cherokee and this morning a fire hydrant jumped out in front of me; leaving yellow paint and a chipped up bumper so I went in to get an estimate from Carsmetics on Dale Mabry in Tampa. What I thought was going to be a big and expensive repair turned into the two men going above and beyond to create magic to fix my car on the spot.

It is rare to enter a business anymore with people who take the time to really care, that go above and beyond and value future business. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

The staff and the service at carmedics was exceptional. They went above and beyond to do an excellent job. Jason and Dominic were very helpful and knowledgeable about the body work that needed to be done. The pricing was very fair and the work was completed in a very timely fashion. The car turned out excellent. I would highly recommend this business if body work or paint work is needed on your car.

I have nothing but great things to say. The staff is friendly, professional and accommodating. My BMW came out great. They provided me with a free car rental and quoted me $900 for job that other shops wanted $2,500. They have a loyal customer for life. Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Came here to correct some damage caused from a mishap inside a parking garage. John was very professional throughout the process. His team corrected the damage so well that it looked like a factory finish once complete. Very impressed. Thanks Carsmetics!

I've had to give this review a lot of thought. My car was finished November 2020; after nearly 2 months of not having my vehicle. The customer service has been good mostly; although I had to call for updates each time. The car was initially painted back in September, but there were so many issues with the paint that the whole job needed to be reworked from the ground up.

They lied about this; I was told they would sand the whole car down and repaint. Later on I noticed chips that existed beforehand, looks like they just resprayed. This took about 4 weeks. Now about 7 weeks later there are notable issues on each panel painted. Hood, bumper, roof, trunk lid, and both fenders. Most of the issues have to do with the paint chipping off and primer showing underneath due to fish eyes.

Also there is primer showing underneath paint in several areas. There's also a large scratch on the bottom of the door. My windshield is ruined; they wet sanded the whole windshield because there was so much overspray. The chips were claimed to be rocks; even if that is the case, you can expect 30 or more chips within 300 miles of driving. They did not deny damaging the vehicle; they've offered no options other than a small discount for the front bumper.

Buyer beware: this paint does not hold up. Four months later with normal driving; I have easily a hundred paint chips all over the bumper. This was the biggest waste of time and money. Over 2 grand for just a simple repaint. These guys weren't even close to the cheapest option, but they absolutely cheaped out on their quality of work.

My wife took her car here and Kawika Eva took great care of her. He even put Paw Patrol on so the baby had something to watch when the work was being done. The repair was perfect. The customer service was even better! We highly recommend bringing your vehicle here and we won't hesitate to do the same in the future!

John Wobrock met with me when I first came in to get a rear end collision repair looked at. From the beginning until the end John provided exemplary services. They gave me two choices for the repair one less expensive than the other which I thought also was unique. No sales tactics. John was excellent in communicating the progress and the completion and even arranged for a rent a car at a steep discount for me. Hopefully I never have to use their service again but if I need body repair, John Wobrock will be my first and only call. Carsmetics technicians did a great job. Looks like new. Thanks John and please thank everyone else that was involved in my repair.

Needed to have my rear bumper/ back panels fixed after being rear ended by an uninsured Lyft driver. Found these guys on Yelp, and am glad I did. Dealt with manager Joey from start to finish. Estimate was competitive ( original bid was almost 2 years ago immediately after the accident, but insurance was non cooperative. Statute of limitations was running out.) I was there on Saturday and insurance gave me the okay ( money!) on Monday.

Car was ready and washed when I picked it up. I noticed the rear light wasn't sitting perfectly in its space; called Joey up and he told me to bring it in. They removed the entire bumper in order to correct the problem. Staff was friendly and professional. Car looks awesome. Thank you Joey!

A highschooler in shop class would've done a better job. They didn't repair all that was damaged. The door that was damaged doesn't line up. I kept hearing a strange sound that sounded like that window was partially open. After further inspection the rubber seal that goes around the door is not straight, wavy, and attached with blue pins that do not hold it very secure.

Definitely an aftermarket piece of crap. Since my car uses oil occassionally, I keep a 5 quart bottle of 0W-20 with me. I checked the oil the other day and what was in my car? 5W-30 with 2 quarts left in a Valvoline bottle. I haven't bought Valvoline in years! There also is a piece missing in the part you hold to close the door. The battery was darn near dead and barely started the car.

Since I was in the process of moving 2 hours south, starting a new job, and still working long hours at the present job, I did not bring the car back. There was no time. It was several weeks after I picked up the car did I have time to do a thorough inspection. Therefore, not only did they do half the job, the work done was shotty, I had to buy a new battery, the inside of the car was filthy, and they stole a $35 bottle of oil leaving me with 2 quarts of oil that if I didn't notice before I used it, would have destroyed the engine.

I had an amazing experience at the Clearwater location. Joey, the manager, was a really nice guy and the repair work on my bumper was perfect. It's a very clean, professional shop and everything was done on-time. I'll be a repeat customer, and I highly-recommend them!

Best experience ever. My car needed quite a lot of front end work. Ken was patient, helpful, and quick when it came to my car getting taken care of. They said drop off Thursday am at 8 am. ready by friday at 6. Car was done Friday by 3pm! I wish I had before pics to share with the after pic but imagine the entire front end being held up by 2 rolls of ductape. I was in awe with the great work they did. I will return if needed in the future and will recommend to everyone.

Carsmetics and specifically Willie took great care of me when I had a relatively large scrape on the front right of my bumper. The paint was scraped off and the bumper needed to be popped in! I took the vehicle in for a quote which was quick and easy and from there was able to schedule an appointment. Carsmetics only held on to the car for one day and the job looks great. I recommend their services for any minor paint/fender damage you may have.

Carsmetics on Ulmerton took a very badly painted rear bumper and turned into a professionally restored matching bumper on my Honda. all within 24 hours. I was very pleased with both Joey the manager and the work performed on the car. My only suggestion is that the office/waiting area is less than professional looking and would benefit from some upgrades.

Rear bumper damage, but Joey came to the rescue! He was awesome! Very knowledgeable & upfront about scope of work needed and pricing. He even offered a rental car. Now that's what I call customer service! Work was done in about 3 days and I was back up and running. Come see Joey and Carsmetics for your fender bender needs. They are the best!

We went to Carsmedics due to a friend had brought her car there and been satisfied. We made the decision to go with them and scheduled the appointment. We were well informed throughout the process of what parts would be replaced and painted and there was a large part of the front grill/bumper that was not being replaced. We were called just after 5 pm and told our car was ready for pickup.

We arrived and waited several minutes before our car was brought around to the front parking area. We were told the car wash part of the process is what caused the delay. We went out to inspect the car and the black grill/bumper piece was smeared with I still don't know what. The gentleman handling our pickup said it was dust and it would come off.

I tried rubbing it dry and wet and it was not coming off. Then we noticed the blue paint on the bumper. The gentleman took the car back to the shop and they supposedly did some compounding to get rid of the blue paint and all the smears. He brought the car back to us and I saw no improvement. My husband went inside to pay and I went to sit in the car as I was not feeling well.

Upon opening the door I found my mat dislodged from the hooks as well as dirty, the steering wheel, the door panel and the seats all had dirt on them. When the gentleman came back out with my husband i showed him the interior of the car. He said "that's from me getting in and driving it around back. It's just dust." So, I took my dirty car home. I work at a company that does detailing and I hope they can clean it and undo the smears on my grill/bumper. Overall not a great experience.

Excellent and fast service. No appointment needed to get your car looked at. I went in for a front bumper repair and it took all of 20 minutes. Maybe call ahead to see if they are busy.

Excellent Service Ever! I had a front Bumper Scratch on my Corvette, they had given the lowest quote. Got a free rental when I dropped off the car. They took a day to fix the scratch, and also took care of some chipping near the air dam of the bumper which I had not noticed earlier. And all this at a very reasonable price! Joey and his staff were very professional and the quality of work is excellent.

I had an incident with a garbage can that ripped the mirror on the passenger side of my car. I took my car to Toyota oh by the way I have a 2009 Scion. They quoted me a price of$258. Not including the paint and labor. I started my research and called Carsmedics. Scott and Tim are EXCELLENT THE WORK WAS PERFECT THE WORKERS ARE EXCELLENT. They treated me like a customer not just a lady with no knowledge of vehicles to rip off.

A real bonus was I was also able to get my hood painted. I was so overwhelmed with amazement. If you EVER need any work done on your vehicle cosmetic wise. PLEASE GO HERE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. MY CAR LOOKS NEW!

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! I drive by this body shop every time I go for a Cuban sandwich across the street. Today I decided to finally swing in there before I went for my lunch just to get an idea of what a repair would cost. I had backed my car into a trailer a bit too fast and it indented and pulled out the bumper from it's regular location.

I tried to get everything to snap back into place by myself with no luck. Scott Evans got down on the ground under the car and had completely fixed the bumper within three minutes, now it looks like nothing happened (except for the scratches), everything is back in it's proper place! I asked how much, Scott said "nothing" - WOW! I will go back when ready to get the bumper re-painted. Amazing customer service, I will be back and I highly recommend.

Had some minor damage to our car and took it to Carsmetics. I had previous work done by them on a previous vehicle and had been very happy with the quality of the repairs as well as the timeliness of it and the reasonable cost level. After our car was looked at he came out, repaired one piece, and rubbed out the scratch. Suggested that it might be better to postpone any further work at this time. That level of integrity and honesty can't be beat. Absolutely my " go to" guys. Recommend them highly.

My experience at Carsmetics was excellent! The staff was very responsive and professional. Had a very pleasant surprise when it was time to pay the bill found that the final cost came in less than the estimate due to the skill of their staff. Highly recommend this location for your repairs!

We had a. EXCELLENT experience at CARSMETICS on Ulmerton Rd. Service was top notch. We got an affordable quote on a bumper repair. They even tacked it up and secured it for free when giving the quote and completed all the work in 1 day! They went the extra mile by washing the car and giving us a complimentary head light restoration too. They were recommended by the firefighters at my husbands station as well as the Florida Hjghway Patrol. Carsmetics really gave us the best service at the best price! We highly recommend them if you have any body work that needs to be done on your car. Carsmetics is the place to go! Sincerely, Kelly & Larry Thompson

So I hit my brand new car over the weekend and I was devastated thinking I was going to be spending a fortune and that it was going to look refurbished. To be honest I didn't even want to car anymore. I went and saw Joey at carsmetics and he fixed my car good as new. No joke, it looks like I didn't even hit it! And I got an insanely low price.

They had my estimate and car fixed in a matter of ONE full day. I don't know of anywhere that charges a reasonable price and gets your car in and out in no time. Plus he did a little extra work for no charge. These guys are great! Go check them out.

After constant quotes from various body shops and leaving feeling ripped off, I was pleasantly surprised to discover Carsmetics. They are certainly a gem in the rough. Not only was the price right, the work was exceptional. Joey and the crew here really care about their customer. They genuinely take pride in the finished product. Look no further, you have found your body shop!

Never thought I would give 5 stars to a body shop but Carsmetics went above and beyond. From the quote and introduction Mike was clear, fair and helpful. Dropped off the car they not only took care of rental but when the rental company was taking too long one of the crew drove me over to get me going. Forgot to mention this all happen after they were "closed". Car was complete on time for the price quoted. Can't say enough. Rarely do you get this service and a great price.
