If you’re looking for an all around shop, Paulk’s auto body is the place to go. This company went to war for me to assure I kept my truck. They went above and beyond with repairs and kept me updated through whole process. My truck honestly looks twice as good as it did before the accident and I plan on having more work done with them in the future. Thanks Phil and Yvette!

The work done on my car was EXCELLENT. Paul, Yvette & their staff are amazing. Very professional & friendly. My car looks GREAT all the way to the hand painted pin stripes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PAULK’S auto body for your vehicle needs. Whether it be body work, painting or customization. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much for taking care of me & my vehicle!!! ❤️

Look no further! From the exceptional customer service to the mirror like paint job and affordable pricing, what more could I ask for?! I couldn’t be more satisfied. You just don’t get that these days and Paulks Auto really checked all the boxes. Very professional and knowledgeable and took the time to explain my options as well as the process. I felt very comfortable before leaving my Jeep in their hands. Both Phil and Yvette went above and beyond my expectations! Definitely recommending them to anyone who needs any kind of restoration done.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Paulks Auto Body. My vehicle looks better than new! Phil, Yvette, and Dillon give 110% to every customer and treat everyone like family. I wish I could give 7/5 stars. Dont go anywhere else.

Big props to Phil and his team. Took my 13 yr old, original paint, Subaru STI to get the hood repaired and painted. Also got the whole car waxed and buffed. The results are AMAZING!!! Showroom quality finish!

Phil, Yvette, and the rest of the body shop family could not have treated my car better. After my new car was hit in my own parking space -- I could not have been in better hands. The car is better than new... Thank you, the price and care; check out Better Than New Collision for all your car need -- the best in Central Florida.

The work they do here is beyond amazing and they are some of the nicest people I have worked with in a very long time. They have a true passion for classics and love the people that love the same stuff that they do. I highly recommend these guys to anyone that needs the services that they do. Not to mention that the price was AMAZING!!!

I cant recommend this place enough! I was referred here to get a quote on repainting my 2008 4Runner. It was chipping all over and beginning to rust due to age and the hot Florida sun. Phil was so helpful from start to finish! Not only did he explain the steps of the entire process, but he was also able to address some other concerns I had with the vehicle and gave me a great price! He went above and beyond by sending me pictures and videos to update me on the progress and was always very quick to respond to my phone calls and text messages. When I picked up my vehicle it was pristine, washed/waxed/detailed and literally looked BETTER THAN NEW!!! Im very happy with my decision to trust them and couldnt be happier with the results!

Best family owned auto body shop in Central Florida! So glad I trusted them with my vehicle because they did an absolutely amazing job and I sent a mutual friend to them as well and they were also very pleased with the work they did! I would continue to send multiple people to them who are looking for an amazing experience in all around!

I own a European antique car that needed some freshening up. I gave a detailed list of items that needed to be worked on. Each one of the items on the list was corrected in a high-quality and timely manner. In terms of the bang for the buck, it was well worth it. It is now the go-to auto body shop for my car.

I took my 1990 Pontiac Firebird to Phil for some paint work about a year ago, The car had picked up some scratches over the year and I took it to Better Than New to have them fixed. He did an amazing job painting The car and an even more amazing job communicating with me about what I wanted done, and always sending me pictures of the process! Amazing airbrushing on the car and amazing paint work! I couldn’t ask for a more professional job and customer service! I love the way my car turned out and I’m sure you will too if you take your car to this shop!

There have been numerous times over the years I have needed a good body shop to take care of my car. Philip the owner of this place is without a doubt the best in the business. He is fast to get your car in, the work is impeccable, and pricing is beyond fair. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs bodywork on their vehicle.

WOW... What a find. Needed body repair and paint work done on my 1993 Ford F150 Flair Side. I was worried about quality and the final product. Well I am so happy with the work. So much better than I expected, what a fantastic job. I love family owned businesses that do such a good job. I highly recommend Better Than New Collision Center for all your paint and body work needs.

My son backed into a 2015 Ford Focus and damaged the driver door. I did not want to go through insurance and my mechanic highly recommended Better Than New. The other party had gotten an estimate that was ridiculously high. When I stopped in I never mentioned the other estimate. I showed them a picture of the damage and got a price that was 1/4 of the competitor. They ordered the door on a Wednesday and had the car ready by Monday. It looked Better Than New. There was no pressure, no hidden up charges. They offered a fair price and provided quality work. My insurance companys preferred vendor happens to be a block away and they butchered my Nissan Titan. I wish I would have know about Better Than New then. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Could not be happier with the work on my car. I had a number of areas of rust to address and they were taken care of the right way with new metal. Phillip also managed to take an air dam that did not fit properly and fix it to were it was correct and fit. I would definitely recommend the shop for restoration or repairs.

Incredible job on my vehicle. I had something spilled in my car and could not get the smell out. They did it all! Removed carpets and cleaned, did a clear coat on the metal. After struggling for weeks with this, I think we’ve finally conquered the problem. Thank you team for taking such good care of us.

We have brought three cars to Better Than New Collision Center for body work, one of which is an antique Mustang. The word that best describes Phil’s work is meticulous: he made each car look brand new, removing dings, painting the exterior and having the interior detailed. He is a true artist and the prices are fair and reasonable. Highly recommended!

I CANNOT speak high enough of these guys! I’ve been going to them for years. They’ve always fixed my car in a timely and friendly no matter how big or small the issue. They’ve offered suggestions, diagnosed and treated my car as if it was one of theirs. I’ve had my car for 15 years; It’s my baby. I wouldn’t trust it to anyone else!

Phil and his wife went above and beyond helping us! We went through multiple auto shops, including the dealership themselves and unfortunately we kept getting different answers and did not feel comfortable spending thousands of dollars on our vehicle. With Better Than New, from the first minute we felt our mind at ease with their up front honesty and most importantly, their amazing customer service. They made sure to communicate everything and update us along the way.Thanks for making our experience one we will never forget, and for the better! We couldnt have sold our car as fast as we did without you all.

This place is extremely unprofessional in every aspect of the word,they take your automobile charge you up the ying yang and do minimal to your car,the owner will sell you stories on how professional his jobs come out,great sales pitch terrible output, I left a car there for the better part of 3x as long as it take to fix something small,I promise that any shop with half the talk would have been done in less than two weeks,then the owner talks about storage fee,sir if you didnt take so long to fix it there wouldnt be a storage fee,be careful consumers there is a much better shop down the road.

They did an excellent job repairing my 2014 Honda Civic. The door was smashed in due to a car accident (not my fault) and they quickly got the repair done and handled it with my insurance. And they didnt even have to replace my door at all. They got the dents out and painted it to match the car perfectly. They also cleaned my car and the seat fabric for me courteously. 10/10 would definitely go back if I need repairs in the future! Thanks Phil!

The whole passenger side of my car was practically totaled because a drunk driver hit my car and I was so devastated to think that it would never look the same. I took it there and they are very trustworthy people let alone go above and beyond my expectation my car looked better then when I bought it and my overall experience I will have to say was a win.

This is by far the best body shop and mechanic experience I’ve had in 12 years of living in the Orlando area. I had the front and rear bumpers repaired and repainted on my BMW as well as front pads and rotors. I use my car for business and Phillip and Yvette turned it around in two days straight, whilst also providing the most competitive price I could find anywhere. I couldn’t be more happy with the experience and Better Than New have mine and my family’s business for keeps!!!
