Worst bodyshop around

I wouldn't even give this place 1 star if Yellowpages would let me. The work from this place is horrible. Their painter obviously has no experience. The new owner is a fraud! If you pay him in cash he pockets your money! I would never recommend this shop to anyone I care about!

Horrible Body Shop!!!

They are a complete ripoff and their work is the worst body work I have ever seen. They will take you for every penny they can and have very little experience with actual auto body work. Please DO NOT take your vehicle to them.

We offer a Lifetime warranty with every repair, so if there is a problem, I would appreciate you to contact us at 941 923 5558 so we can get the issue addressed and fixed. I apologize for any issue you have/had, but our technicians have 30 years experience EACH, as well as many ASE and I-CAR certifications, which puts them with great experience. We may be a little more pricey than Maaco and Electrobake, but our quality is and lasts years longer than the cheap job you get from places like that. You get what you pay for. Again, if you aren't happy, please give us the oppurtunity to fix your issues. Thank you.

DO NOT USE! I brought my car ...

DO NOT USE! I brought my car there after a car accident. I chose this place because my family had used them multipe times in the past. THIS IS NOT THE SAME OWNER THEY USED. Their mechanical work is extremely poor. I had to bring my car back 4 times before spending $100 to get it fixed by a mechanic that could do it right. The owner, Dan, claims to warranty his work but cant seem to fix the problems. When you try to call him he will hang up on you instead of helping you resolve the issue. How is that standing by your work? I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANY ONE!!!

I apologize that you have had a bad experience at our company. Fortunately we have new management. If you would please contact us at 941 923 5558 I would like to detail your vehicle as a courtesy to make up for his mistakes. Unfortunately I cannot change the past, however I would like the oppurtunity to change your outlook on our company, as it has changed greatly since 2011. Once again, I cannot apologize enough for the rude ex-management of the company.

I recently had an accident with my car which I brought to Don Olmsted Auto Body and Upholstery. They were very helpful in assisting me through the insurance claim process. The repairs were excellent and were done on time, as promised. They have a top notch facility, a very personable and professional staff and they made me feel very comfortable with the entire process. I would highly recommend Don Olmsted Auto Body and Upholstery for all your auto body needs.

Great experience! I was really worried about my car when I took it in but Dan took good care of me and when I got my car back you couldn't even tell I was ever in an accident.

I wouldn't ever give this place a star!

Under new management and its the worst management ever! The guy doesn't know the 1st thing about running a business.

Uses the cheapest materials to get all jobs done. Numerous cars gave to come back to get repainted, because of poor quality paint.

claimed iconBusiness Response01/24/2013

I apologize that you did not have a good experience, however we use Standox paint and 3M materials, which are top dollar in our market and the best out there. FORTUNATELY for our customers, we had to let our previous painter go because of the poor quailty. However we have fixed that issue and have the best quality in town now and offer a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on anything we do to your vehicle. So if you are unhappy with the work that was done, please call us so we have the oppurtunity to correct our mistake and you can meet our technicians that have been working in this field for 30 years. Please contact us at 941 923 5558. Thank you.

New owner..Owner has cheated his workers out of their pay and has fired all of his experienced workers without notice or cause. His own work is second rate and sent out customer cars with extremely bad paint jobs.



Never use them to paint or repair any of your vehicles. The name has been around for over 31 years but not the owners. They have no real customer service skills or believes.

claimed iconBusiness Response01/24/2013

Unfortunately, under new ownership, we found a majority of our old technicians were stealing from our company. As this sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee, I must apologize to our customers. As I said, if you steal from a company, unfortunately we can not afford to keep paying someone to take money from us. Thank you.

Do not listen to the other review. I have taken many cars to Dav (and his wife, who works in the office). He must be talking about a past owner. They are great and the best price in town. I had an estimate from carsmetic that was literally double his price. They have always done a great job and in a timely manner

As a company, we apologize for past mistakes. FORTUNATELY however, our company is under new ownership, due to the past owners being very rude. Again, I cannot apologize enough, and if you would like to give us a call I would love the chance to make it up to you. Please call at 941 923 5558 and I'm sure we can work out a free detail as a courtesy.
