The reason I do this is for you to be consented and not to bring your car here. The car was in perfect condition when I brought it now I have to carry it on a crane. They left the cable between the guide and the transmission I told them if they could fix it and they said it was my problem I had to pay for the paint and the rest of the towing Truck and the mechanic was my problem too.Call the police and they told me it was a Sivil problem that I had to take my car just like that and go to court. Be aware, dont come to a place like this, no matter how much cheaper it is because in the end You’re going to finish paying a lot more

They had a paint special, $385 for a full paint job and integrated clear coat. My Crown vic had a lot of rust on the roof, a peeling vinyl wrap on the hood, and rust on the trunk lid. I hired them to match the existing factory paint(Ford midnight metallic gray). I chose this Econo location because they had very good Google reviews compared to other locations, even though it was farther away from me.I had to pay an extra $75 to get it sanded and primed for the rust, and an extra $25 to remove the hood vinyl wrap. So all together it cost me $500.73 after tax.So for $500, I am extremely satisfied with this paint job. I never went in expecting a showroom quality job, if you want that expect to pay a lot more! But for $500 they did a phenomenal job and brought my vic back to life. There is no overspray or missed spots, and the paint has a lot of shine and seems to be very durable so far. I should also add that the paint has a 3 year warranty, and for $500 I would be happy to get 3-5 years from the paint.

Satisfying results for reasonable cost. Had to bring it back in when some tree sap got on my car during a vacation after only having the new paint job for a month and they resprayed for just the cost of materials. Will definitely use these guys again in the future.

I know its cheap paint, but the Customer service dosent have to be.. JOHN... they didnt fix all the dings and dents, they also missed painting small parts of the vehicle... when I asked about it, I was told that none of that was discussed.. they dont log anything digital, and they dnt have a diagram of the vehicle to show what was supposed to be fixed, so there was noway to prove it... the guy who does ur quote and intake, John, was extremely unprofessional, very rude, and its 100% a DO NOT RECOMMEND

I cant believe the amazing job, looks like it just drove off the show room floor. My sister surprised me for my birthday and i cant believe how perfect the paint job came out. Im a detailer and i cant find one imperfection, I highly recommend this place.

I was going to get the premium paint job for my 18 year old truck but was talked into the lowest priced job. Was impressed by John’s honesty and how he wanted to save me money even if his business would make less. How often does that happen? And in 3 days! Maaco wanted to keep it 7-9 days! The top of my truck was rusted but not anymore! It looks amazing! Thank you John!

This place is amazing, my wife took our cars and got an amazing deal and service. Im military currently deployed and the fact they did not take advantage of my wife showed true professionalism. I will be sending all my friends and family to this place. A+

Got what I paid for. I tried to get them to do their best job but they insisted I did not need that and the one level below would be the best seeing how it is going to be white. Said they could not give any warranty on my paint because of the type of paint jobs Chevrolet uses on Corvettes (?), I did agree to this though. Absolute carelessness! Dirt and small paint chips in paint. Improper masking. Paint from someones pants on brand new leather seats. Paint hand print on back of Passengers seat. It was my choice to not return and try to resolve. I feel that the shop should do their best work the first time and if I returned as a unhappy customer, what would they do then. The seat, I did not want a body shop resolving that, took it back to where the leather work was done to get it done right. Could not get a good shot of the dirt and chips so no pics of those. I agree this is not a show car and I did not pay $5,000 for the paint job but........

OMG..... I highly recommend this place. I had two cars that they were done here and these guys really did a great job more than I ever aspected. I came to this place recommended by two of my coworkers that they had their car painted here and they were right the prices, service / job are perfect. I am one very happy and satisfied customer.....

HORRIBLE!! If I could give this place zero stars I would. I took my Mitsubishi Lancer to get painted, body work and front bumper fixed. This place is cheap for a reason!! The quality of the work is poor, I have hairs stuck under the paint. The manager, Chris said he would fix the front bumper and the bumper is out on one side and refuses to give me a refund. Not to mention someone drove my car for 50-60 miles!! I turned in my car with a full tank and got it back a little over half!!! Inside my car there was overspray all over and no one even tried to make it look decent before returning my car. Someone broke the clips for the roof molding trim and if I hadn’t noticed they would not have said anything. The manager had to replace the whole part and took 2 weeks. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME HERE!!

GREAT JOB!! I couldnt speak highly enough about Chris and his team at Econo painting!! If your looking for an affordable paint job without the frills this is the place to go!!I picked out the wrong color (completely my fault) Chris and his team redid the truck within a reasonable amount of time, still treated me with respect and helped me out with the price. That shows character! Thanks Chris!!

I recently bought a 2010 Honda Civic for my daughters first car. The paint needed freshened up and i took it to Chris at Econo Auto Painting. I couldnt believe it was the same car ! It looks brand new ! Gorgeous gloss gleaming finish ! Fantastic work ! Chris is professional, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend Econo Auto painting in Largo.Will update with photos soon.

This location is far more superior to the one in Tampa. Chris was very professional and easy to contact. The paint looks ten times better and they got it done in 24 hours. Far exceeded my expectations. Great job, guys!

This place is awesome. A true five stars. Five stars for service. five stars for Price. 5 stars for quality of job. We took in two jobs. One was for rust as we have a northern car. the quotes we got in Illinois as well as other places in Florida were from $650 to $1,100. Econo did it for $350. And the job is perfect.Then we brought in our second car which had a little ding on the trunk lid which again the quotes had been from $850 to $1,300 and Econo did it for $275 complete.Anyone who doesnt bring their car to Econo simply wants to overpay.I dealt with Chris every time. he was professional called back quickly and was totally on the case. Could not ask for more.

Great job for the price, very happy. Could pay 10x more if you think you need a perfect job. Fast, professional & pleasant. There were some minor oversprays, the worst of which they corrected on the spot. Note that their guarantee is prorated, so not worth as much later when less expensive paint may be reaching its life span.

Review №21

If paint job is needed for professional use. This paint job isnt for you. Plus unless your paint job looks like trash already the paint job they offer diminishes the value of your vehicle. Basically not worth it. They are a huge pain to deal with. They painted on the interior of my vehicle and did not clean it up! And it took me a little while to notice the paint job was left incomplete for the longest time.... Which auto paint shop takes over 1 month to complete a job and still makes mistakes? Very unprofessional....

My car came out awesome! It had so much damage to the rear and needed a paint job badly as it is a 2005 Toyota Corolla. They fixed everything and painted it for $700. I uploaded a before and after. Im still in awe! Chris kept me updated and workers in the lot were super nice too!

Took a hood here to get painted. Staff there was very nice and professional. They were able to match my car color and were very easy to work with. I honestly cant find anything to complain about. Nice staff amazing price over all great experience. Will do business again if and when the need arises.

Econo paint was a great experience, price was right where we wanted it and their crew was very knowledgeable and informative. A couple hiccups on the finished product just because I like to thoroughly check work with a fine tooth comb but the manager had no issues correcting all of my concerns. Highly recommend Econo for your auto painting needs.

Fair, honest work. Great price. Good for older cars, or something you want to look good without spending a lot of money.Basically -- fair jobs with excellent prices. If you are looking for a flawless job, you WILL pay 3-4x more that what these guys charge. For the money, they are hard to beat.

You dont get what you pay for, you get a lot more here. I paid 15% of a standard paint job, and received my car in 2 days, at just around 85% perfect condition. That being said, I gave them a car that was in pretty bad shape, so getting to 100% would have been near impossible.

Cannot leave another review so I am updating this one. After Chris and crew did such a wonderful job on my sons car (review below) I knew I would be taking them my Pontiac Sunfire. My car had dents in the drivers quarter, and shoddy primer job on the hood and the sun had not been kind.These professionals gave me a great estimate and got to work. They finished the job in less than 4 days and called me to let me know I could pick up the car but they asked me if they could keep it longer because they were not satisfied with the hood. Not their fault. The hood was pretty bad. We discussed options and they offered to redo the hood at no additional cost. We compromised and I suggested a new hood. Best decision ever.I picked up my car today and am so pleased. This car has over 200k miles and now looks like it did when it rolled off the factory floor. Do not let the price fool you. They do quality work. They give you advice on how to care for the paint to make it last as long as possible and when to wash and start waxing. They have EARNED a customer for life. I will update with pictures soon.(previous review)Took my sons 2001 Pontiac Sunfire there. Badly faded paint and clear coat peeling. These guys gave us a great price and the workmanship and quality seems better than what we paid for.

Lets see what I can tell you first, this place did a OK paint job people are right they do get paint on your headlights, and paint on other things like door handles. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, WHEN PEOPLE SAY THE PRICE IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEY ARE RIGHT. Now I haft to go back and have them paint the back because when when they closed the trunk they never let it dry first and now the paint came off. Also the customer service is NOT a 100%When I first came in asking if they took credit cards, the front deck gentlemen was very brash and was irritated saying NO ONLY CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK. I WILL NOT BE USEING THIS PLACE AGAIN!!

Worst place ever. Took my 350z there to have front bumper painted. They got over spray on the headlights and tried to get it off with paint thinner. That ended up melting the headlights. They didnt tell me this and if I didnt notice they would have let the the car go. I had to get corporate involved to buy headlights. The manager also racked up 500 miles on my car to get himself home every day for a week in spring hill. Bad bad bad news!!!!!!!

TLWR version: Dont go here. You wont receive quality.I asked to get my left rear and light replaced with the bumper repainted and now it doesnt work. They left the old light in my trunk, along with a cardboard box. They didnt replace that clear sticker thing. My car looks like butt, when they told me theyd make it look like it as before my accident. They lied.

Review №58

Painted my car for very cheap price and fix all my dents for 300 dollars any other body shop in america would charge you 5 to 600 dollars or more just for a paint job remember people these are 300 dollar paint jobs not 2000 dollar paint job for what they charge the quality give you you cannot complain at all if you expecting perfection take it to the dealership were they charges 3000 dollars... Basically what they do there is make your car looks better than what it was for 300 dollars yes in these days 3 hundred doesnt really get you too far. basically what Im saying is you get what you pay for people if you go to mc.donalds and order off the dollar menu dont expect a steak dinner!!!!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!!!Very unprofessional, drip marks every where took back 4 times and at the end they did not want to deal with me anymore. Initially they painted my car purple, then wrong blue but I was so fed up and tired I just left it. My friends asked me if I painted it. Looks so bad that I may have to take to get repainted somewhere else. Tried to complain to the main corp offices and can not get any info.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.I had bad feelings about a place called Econo, but got talked into taking my car there. Terrible job, run offs all over the place, dents not touched, paint on headlights. Was driving and my spoiler fell off because they didnt put the scews back on. The mgr, Scott is a jerk and could careless about customer satisfaction. I wish I would have never gone there, Im embarrassed of the way my car looks and when I tell people where I had it painted, I get that, well, what did you expect from a placed called Econo. dont make my mistake, avoid this place at all cost
