Charlie did a great job repairing my daughter s damaged car. He provided a very fair estimate and showed me exactly what had to be replaced and why. The shop is very clean and he does his own painting in his on-site booth. I was so happy, I had him do another small job on a second vehicle. I will definitely come back if the need arises.

I brought in my car because my car's electronic system was failing. Then my car wouldn't go in reverse. Charlie diagnosed the car and promptly repaired the wire connector, serpentine belt tensioner and alternator. He also proactively flushed the transmission fluid because it was at the recommended number of miles to change it. I was very thankful Charlie fixed exactly what needed to be fixed in an honest, thorough and timely manner. Now my car runs like a charm! I would highly recommend Charlie's Ace Auto and Body Repair and in fact need some body work too, so hope to go back soon!

Charlie s Auto Service is superb. My car s clutch blew out one night. Charlie fixed the clutch so my car was ready the next day. Because my car badly needed some body work at the time, I asked Charles to completely fix the dents in the body, repair the rust damage including replacing the the rocker panel, and completely repaint the car a custom matte black color and fix a big crack in my windshield.My car looks amazing now and it runs fabulously. It is a 2007 Pontiac G5 with a manual transmission.Charlie is friendly and easy to talk to. I would call or text him if I have questions. He is easy to get ahold of. The photos show the before color (yellow) and the after color black matte.5/5 would highly recommendServices: Auto body & trim repair, Painting, Auto glass repair, General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Auto detailing, Transmission repair, Auto body & trim replacement

I have had Charlie do both major and minor repairs on several of my prior and current cars. His work is always excellent! He is honest, timely and always courteous. He recently installed a new water pump and thermostat on my BMW 530i and found a transmission leak on my wife's Honda CRV. Unlike the dealers, he does not recommend work that is unnecessary and his pricing is fair.

Best customer service in town. I had went to get a door replacement for Nissan Sentra, Charlie took it upon himself to find the exact match for the door I needed. He was very understanding and kept me updated with any problems along the way. He painted the door perfectly matching the door to make it look identical to the color of the car. No flaws. Charlie s auto is the place to go for the best prices and best service hands down.Service: Painting

I recently brought my 2019 Toyota 4Runner to Charlie's auto shop for a repair, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From the moment I arrived, Charlie provided knowledgeable information and went above and beyond to ensure that I was satisfied with the work being done.Charlie's expertise was evident in the high-quality work he did, using only OEM parts to make sure my vehicle looked and performed like new again. Even better, I couldn't even tell that my vehicle had been hit in the rear passenger quarter panel!Throughout the repair process, Charlie kept me updated with photos and was always polite and courteous. He clearly takes pride in his work and cares about his customers.Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Charlie's auto body shop to anyone with automotive issues. His expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail truly set him apart. Thanks again, Charlie, for your excellent work!

Charlie has been my mechanic since I purchased my vehicle in 2021. My first incident happened almost immediately, cracked my front bumper leaving the alley (I am not used to driving lower vehicles, my last one was a Jeep). Charlie was able to order the parts and fix it right away! After it was fixed, I was able to bring my car to Charlie to look at if anything came loose or needed some extra care at no additional charge! He's been very helpful! I have continued to use his services! THANKS CHARLIE!

I was involved in an accident 12/10 . I had no place i knew personally to take my car to get fixed . I was driving past and saw Charlie s shop, I decided to walk in & just give it a try . Charlie was very welcoming, very informative, and very honest. I was so nervous that he was going to turn me around due to high operations during this time . He took me right in & even was able to get my rental car sent to the shop so i had a way home . He called the insurance company and was able to get an adjuster sent the very same week . I am now currently happy with Charlie s work and customer service. I HIGHLY recommend this shop :)Service: Auto maintenance

Brought in my mother's car for body repair. The whole repair process went very smooth. Charlie took care of insurance claims and rental car reservation. Charlie did a superb job with the repairs, and he even finished everything ahead of the schedule. The price was very reasonable, and I couldn't be any happier. I think I found my new mechanic. Thank you, Charlie!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Body & Trim, Brakes

My 1st time at Charlie's Auto Service he stands behind his work with pride and joy. It is a making how one can mesh old with new paint and Audrey and I are speechless seeing new with old and how all the colors are one considering how old the car is 11 years old. In the future I'm going to have my car serviced by Charlie I look forward to throw my business his way.

My husband and I were here from out of state...and our old baby, an old Astro van, broke down on us. We knew she was still worth saving, so we called around to local garages...and decided on Charlie's Ace. We are glad we did. Reasonable rate, and old girl is running smoother than ever. Very satisfied with quality of work and service!
