Automotive Enterprise is a top tier, honest, detailed and informative, professional body shop. When I spoke with Bob Waldschmidt, I immediately knew he was a business man with integrity, and an absolute old school straight shooter. I was sure the ZR1 front bumper on my C7 Stingray was completely cooked and beyond repair. I was already checking prices for a new bumper, and irritated about what I suspected would be the cost for the parts, paint and labor. However, within 30 seconds of virtuosity automotive inspection, BW said, oh no, you don t need a new bumper we can repair this one. The sincerity I was shown, and how the shop took a personal interest in a complete and perfect restoration of my aftermarket ZR1 bumper was such a blessing. I was provided with an estimate, below, what I had assumed the cost would be, which was so specific and thorough, it was an easy decision to tell Bob, let s add another body modification to the vette while we re at it. Vicrez makes a rad Stingray side skirt with a vertical wing, so I had the shop order up, and when the parts arrived I got a call from BW, who transparently said the side skirts aren t going to look as good as the stock 2015 C7 Z51 side splitters but they could attach the winglet and make it look mint!!! I was also given the Vicrez side skirt to sell, the shop, in no way was dishonest at any point. And the results, the finished product, far exceeded my expectations. The work done on my corvette was next level and any future repairs or body mods will be done by automotive enterprise.

What a pleasure to do business with Bob and his staff at Automotive Enterprise. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, and customer-focused! I totally trust this shop and I have been using their service for years and even sent my friends to Bob s shop. Indeed, my friends share the same positive customer satisfaction as I do when they work with Automotive Enterprise. I like the fact that Bob/his staff always keep me posted on my car work, which gives me a peace of mind especially when facing car troubles/challenges.

Bob, Phil, and the rest of the crew are the best at Automotive Enterprise. I brought in my 1958 Corvette project car for body, paint, and interior work, and I could not be more pleased with the job they did. There was a lot of unseen damage to the car when I purchased it, and Bob found that damage, fixed it, and the car now looks like it just came off the dealership floor! I highly recommend Automotive Enterprise, and will definitely bring any future projects I have to them for repair / restoration.

I was referred Bob & Automotive Enterprise. Best thing that happened out of this accident. My car was towed to Bob after an accident and from there he helped me navigate insurance and other parts that came with this issue. I was so grateful because it wasn t our fault but the insurance agents always try and take advantage of the situation. He made sure I got every penny out of them to fix my car properly and safely. He went above and beyond helping us and I appreciate that. Hopefully we won t have anymore accidents, but if we do, we re going back to Automotive Enterprise. For reference he put my 2018 Mercedes CLA 250 back together better than I had it

Automotive Enterprise did some bolt-ons for my new corvette. You can definitely get a simple job done cheaper elsewhere, but do you want a tint shop learning on your new C8? You will be paying expert auto body rates for a bolt-on, but it is your car to let another shop learn on. The service was completed in the time promised, great communication along the way, the interior was kept in great condition, and 0 miles were put on the car.I hope to never need any of their other major auto body repair services, but the range of other high end cars they had in was impressive.

I have been going to Automotive Enterprise since 2017. During those six years their expertise has been invaluable to me. It's because of their dedication and experience that has enabled me to complete two major project car renovations. I highly recommend Automotive Enterprise for all your automotive needs, including painting and detailing , body work, electrical/electronic repair, frame repair to name a few. If you have a Corvette that needs work this is the place to go from C1's to C8, they can do it all.

Recently had sideswipe damage to an Audi Q3 repaired and the results are excellent. Perfect paint blend/match and sheet metal repair. Would recommend shop without hesitation.

We brought a classic 64 Studebaker Avanti in for new paint which is fiberglass. It basically requires taking the car apart to do the job precisely and correctly. Bob at Automotive Enterprises knew exactly how to handle this rare classic car. It is absolutely gorgeous. Bob kept us informed along the way of the progress and any issues that came up. It is well worth it to go to an expert shop. Thank you Bob and Automotive Enterprises.Service: Painting

Having all of my automotive repairs completed at Automotive Enterprise for the past 20 years, I've gotten to know and appreciate their professionalism, great customer service and excellent work. They treat all cars like show cars, as it should be. The highest recommendation I can give a business.

Bob is very short tempered and made racist remarks about Mexican construction workers who were working across from the shop. I m addition to this while they were driving my low car down from the frame puller, they took no precautions and my bumper scraped so aggressively it tore a bit. They didn t do anything to address it.

So my brand new 2020 Porsche 911 (992) Carrera 4S was rear ended by someone while I was stopped at a red light .. it wasn't a very bad collision but it did damage my rear bumper in several areas.The car being brand new, and a close to $200,000 investment, of course I wasn't happy about this, but I also knew that it would be critical to get it fixed right, and returned to factory original condition. The driver who hit me was insured with GEICO, who is notorious for nickel and dime repairs and sending you to their "recommended" body shop.. I knew that wasn't going to work, and after getting their estimate of $2015 to fix it, that didn't include a new bumper, but a repair the existing bumper, I immediately decided to go elsewhere... I happen to see that the Porsche recommended body shop was on Industrial so I went to find them, but on the way I saw Automotive Enterprise and Bob the owner happen to be there. He was very friendly and took time to look at the car, and take photos.. he ended up fighting on my behalf with GEICO to get a $5600+ repair with all replacement parts. He also worked with my "Riviver" electronic license plate, and best of all, he allowed me to have unrestricted visits and inspections of the repairs in process.. We were in constant communication and he was always helpful.. his son Rob, and two other employees... a painter and another body man were all very nice, and super professional in their work.. I was absolutely floored at the quality on this type of car... after all they do work on very nice and collectable corvettes. The 992 being "all-new" had very little in terms of documentation but they figured it all out and the fit and finish as well as all electrical components worked upon first time assembly.. an assembly which I was there to watch. I cannot strongly enough recommend this shop for your high end car.. They were "White glove" with my car, and accommodated all of my OCD requirements to keep the interior clean and not allow the car to get damaged by dust and shop related contaminants.. If I could give them 6 stars, I would.. Family business and solid body shop!

We had our sprinter van rear ended and evaluated a handful of body shops as our built out sprinter had some unique needs. We ended up going with Automotive Enterprise and are really happy to have worked with Bob and his team. Bob & Team got the job done, and they did the job right. Our van looks brand new.The Automotive Enterprise team was great communicating with us during the process, and always kept us in the loop. While getting rear ended was a headache, we were in good hands choosing Automotive Enterprise for our repair.I highly recommend Automotive Enterprise!Service: Body & Trim

When I went into the shop to get an idea of engine upgrades for my 77 corvette Bob looked me up and down at first with that this kid has no idea look. I had a good idea of what I wanted after a year research and chatting to multiple guys on Corvette forums about pricing and options. At first he gave me wrong info about the parts to upgrade my current engine and suggested a replacement engine. He suggested a $7000+ gm crate engine which is a basic install for anyone with little mechanic knowledge which I m told by multiple Corvette owners who have did this that at most it s 10-15 hours, yet quoted me $7000 to install. I thought he meant $700 (check photo) but no. He really meant $466 per hour labor. Extortion prices

I brought my classic car here. The person I was dealing with was bob. We agreed on a price and went over exactly what he would fix on the car.He ended up doing a bunch of extra work without asking me and charged me for it. He said it needed to be done Then he wouldn t release my car until I paid and haggled with me on the price until I finally gave in. He kept my car hostage and the treatment was unprofessional and totally unethical.Stay away
