This company doesn’t do private work. All reviews left are from employees, friends or family members. They only work on cars from dealerships or “we owe” type work. Its pretty shotty at best. The other one star review, the owner paid to remove. Look up the names on the reviews. They are all fake.

Review №4

Ive called multiple times, left multiple voice mails and have never received a call back.In addition to not returning calls, they do very poor work. My car is covered with fisheyes, orange peel and white speckling.I bought a car from BMW Bellevue that needed some paintwork and part of my negotiation was for three body panels to be repainted. BMW promised me they had a guy that did excellent work. I later found out they dont paint in house and use Instant Autobody, then found out that Instant Autobody does their spraying under tent in a parking lot. Talk about a ghetto setup.I got BMW Bellevue to give me the direct number for the owner of Instant Autobodys cellphone and called him beforehand to discuss my concerns of painting under a tent in a parking lot. The owner owner admitted that painting under a tent can be problematic with windy/dusty conditions but at the same time was very dismissive and nonchalant. He didnt do anything to make me feel better about the paint environment. Nevertheless BMW Bellevue wouldnt let me take the car to my preferred paint shop that has multiple dedicated downdraft spray booths.Painting in a parking lot with no dust free environment, no air filtration and Id have to assume poor paint prep work is a recipe for fisheyes and directly reflects the results that I received.I requested to meet with the BMW service manager along with the painter to address my concerns and they both acknowledged the poor paint work. I was requesting for my car to be taken to a certified BMW collision repair center but the BMW service manager refused. He assured me theyd be able to correct the problems. I asked the painter what he planned to do to correct the dozens of fisheyes, orange peel and white speckling. He said he planned to wet sand it. I asked if he was going to add more clearcoat and he said only if necessary but that hed correct the defects.After they had my car for a week, I came to pick it up today and some of the major defects were removed but there were still dozens of small fisheye dimples and now even more white speckling. Im certain all the painter did was minimal wet sanding and polishing. This is not how you correct fisheyes.At this point I just needed my car back and realized that BMW wouldnt stand behind there customer and that the painter was incapable of providing quality work.If youre getting a car painted through a BMW dealer that uses these amateurs, demand a BMW Certified Collision Repair Center.Instant Autobody is not a quality auto paint shop. Its super budget, so that dealers can save money. Even though Id never take my car to a Maaco, Im sad to say that I probably would have received better paint work at Maaco. Even Maaco uses spray booths.Trust me, this was obvious to me but it was my mistake for trusting a stealer dealer. If someone wants to paint your car under a tent... Run as fast as you can. Dont do it.
