How to Find a Custom Auto Body Paint Shop

Whether you are tired of your car’s look or you car has been in an accident and requires a  repainting job, you need a professional auto paint shop to give your car the look it needs.

There are numerous auto body paint shops in Atlanta, but how do you know which one to take your car to?

There are several things consumers should keep in mind when looking for the right body shop to restore or overhaul your car's paint job.

Seek Referrals & Read Reviews

Make sure you do your research ahead of time and ask for recommendations to people you trust who have firsthand experience with auto body painting shops. Also, be sure to check the company's reviews on local business listings like Google+, Yelp, and the like.

Now this does not mean you should take what other people tell you or what you read as gospel, but it should help you weigh your options. However, it will help you narrow your list down to a select few auto paint shops that you'd want to do business with.

Get Multiple Estimates

After you've narrowed down the list of shops you'd want to work with, start gathering up estimates from each of those body shops.

Just like any other major purchase you'd make, you should shop around and get multiple estimates for your custom paint job. Don't just settle for the first shop you find. A good estimate should entail the probable number of hours required to finish the job, how much your materials costs are for the automotive paint, and what the overall labor cost will be.

Make sure your estimate doesn't have any hidden fees that will surprise you at the end. And keep in mind, you shouldn't always go with the cheapest estimate. You get what you pay for!

Professionalism Matters

When you visit a shop that is messy, unorganized, and manned by people who do not know aren't helpful and friendly, that could be a reflection on the type of work you'll get from them.
Often times, the workplace is a reflection of the people who work there and the quality of work they do.

Make sure you're working with a body shop that has a professional, helpful, and friendly aura about them. Odds are, the quality of the paint job you'll get will be on par with your customer service experience!
