So VERY professional and a great price. They took a POS Jeep and transformed her into a beauty. No overspray, not mess. Owner kept me updated through the entire process. Professional quotes, on time, I was so happy I personally went and thanked every single employee! They are great!!!!

Bruce and his team are absolutely the best! They stand behind their work 100%. I will always bring any auto painting issues to them. For the price, you can't beat the quality!

I had to get my left rear quarter-panel repainted because of tire wear. Took my car in 5/29/12 and got it back the next day 5/30/12. They did an awesome job! The car looks great again. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly, informative, and professional. I will DEFINITELY take my car back for additional painting needs should they arise. Very highly recommended! And very affordable for people on a budget!! Don't hesitate take your car to them, you won't regret it.

Paint has dirt, hair, smears, orange peel and overspray on plastics. For $1k? Looks good from 5-10 feet away

Outstanding service. Had my 2008 F150 repainted and it looks like it came off the showroom floor. They did an excellent job of repairing a major dent on my hood and front fender as well as a area of rust on the roof. I would definitely recommend them for any basic restorative work.

They have painted both my front lip and sideskirts. I'll be taking my diffuser to them as well. Very affordable

I needed the hood of my car painted and got quotes from PCB to Pensacola and they were all outrageous. I found this company and although I had to wait because Michael ripped their roof off and they were in the middle of rebuilding....but they didn't forget me and called to make an appt. Did a great job for a fantastic price. Highly recommend.

UPDATE Dec 2020: MAACO Shop (National Franchise). I would check them out. My history w/MAACO is limited. In Boston area, 1983, a MAACO Shop repaired and 100% painted my '72 VW Van. Great work!! '85 traded-in for New Jeep Grand Wagoneer; Jeeps 4WD Full Size Luxury SUV.UPDATE Jan 23, 2019. The love affair continues!! After a PCB year, including Hurricane Michael, my truck's paint still looks great. I've put a few "custom" rubs on the rear quarter panels ... they buffed out perfectly. The paint looks as good or better thang the day I picked it up, a year ago.5+++ Stars! "A Glowing" exceeded all of my expectations, starting with my first visit continued through delivery of my "like new" truck.The shop is clean and well maintained. IMHO, the owner is a pleasant, intelligent, honorable and professional gentleman. I believe that he respects and appreciates his team of Craftsmen. Everyone I met there struck me as hardworking, smart, personable and professional.That was really "all you need to know", so you can stop here. If you have time and are interested, read on. I provide details about "A Glowing" (hereafter AG) so you know how they operate. Details about my truck are provided to help you understand the basis for my expectations.Asking for recommendations from local friends and family, personal experience, and on-line research reduced the number of candidate paint and body shops. I chose AG after a visit to their shop.The first time I stopped st AG was about one year ago. I was very impressed. My visit was unannounced, Ray was the gentleman manning the desk at AG. He was pleasant and professional. After politely listening to me and answering my questions, Ray gave me brief tour of the shop. Next we went out front to examine my truck. Ray brought his clipboard and inspection checklist.This is my Dream Truck, purchased new when I lived in South Texas. It is a 2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab, SLT, long-bed with the new high performance Cummins 5.9 Liter 24-valve, Turbo diesel. Paint is "optional" Dodge Molten Red Metallic, a deep maroon/burgundy with fine gold metal flake. Think of shiney FSU burgundy with small gold metal flakes that give it a 3-Dimensional effect.My truck's paint and body had issues that are expect after 13 years of hard use in "the Sunbelt" and full-time exposure to the elements. My issues included failing/failed factory Clear Coat and paint, a bunch of bruises, dents, scars, general body wear/tear and similar issues with the installed, matching color, bed "cap".I asked Ray for an estimate to repair all dents, surface rust, scratches, paint and clearcoat issues ... for both the truck body and bed "cap". Reminder: my truck is a full-size long bed, quad cab with a large bed "cap" installed. That is a lot of truck and surface that needed attention.We returned to the office and discussed the work that would be required. AG uses a specific, repeatable pricing method (amazingly valuable to AG and customers). Ray quickly provided a computerized quote clearly and completely defining the work, providing line item prices and the final out-the-door price.The price was excellent ... much less than the price estimates from dealer body shops and big franchise shops. It covered all body repairs and the Premium Package. (See AG's web site fore package specifics.) My bed "cap" was included.I dropped off my truck Monday morning at 7:30 am. Yesterday (Friday), after less than 5 days, "A Glowing" owner, Bruce, handed back the keys to my "New" 2004 Ram. Examining my truck, I was very impressed! AG had exceeded my hopes and expectations. Body and paint are exceptional. The 13 year old headlight/turn signal lenses were polished and looked better than factory new. My truck had been washed and detailed.There is a lot more to be said, but I've written more than enough. I now have a showroom quality exterior on my Dream Truck! Much more than I paid for!Thank AG!

Left a car there for a week. Heard nothing so gave them a call to check on it and was hung up on so we went by to check on the progress. When we went there I found the car had not been work on at all. When I went to go check on it the vehicle there were cigarette butts, beer cans all inside and a destroyed steering column and jacked up ignition.. Obviously someone tried to steal it from where it was on their property. When we were talking to the owner about it he was very rude and trying to blame it on us as if it were out fault .Not once did he apologize. All he did was make excuses. Lawsuit on its way! Very rude, liars and disrespectful!!!!!

They did a good job, price was fair. I had a full paint job done due to hurricane damage. It almost looks like it just came off the car lot.

Bruce and Ray did an excellent job of communicating exactly the work entailed...the time it would take and possible issues with the final product. For the money, some of the best body and paint work I've gotten in Bay Co.

Over spray everywhere, runs, & it looks like they painted it in a dirt lot. I paid for their high-end paint job. Would hate to see their lower priced job.They are obviously an auction car body shop.SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY & have true professionals due the workService: Painting
