Kennedy Auto Body & Paint

Call for an estimate on painting my Honda Accord. The guy who answered was very rude and condescending, and quoted that it’d be $10,000 because they’d have to take the entire car apart. Put down people who simply tape up the car before painting and compared it to painting a room. Then he said that he’d recommend a service in Santa Cruz which would not be possible at all and there are plenty of other businesses locally. He also kept interrupting me when I was trying to ask questions or confirm details. I don’t know if this is supposed to be a scam, vetting, looking down on me because I’m a woman, or down-right incompetence, but that one phone call put me off from using them forever.

This is the place I bring my cars when they need body work, even though there are tons of closer body shops. Ray is great to deal with and the technicians know their craft extremely well. They’ve worked tirelessly with my insurance to prevent my car from being totaled when I didn’t want it to be, they’ve performed restorative miracles, but most importantly they’ve always backed up their work. Any problem I’ve had after getting a car back from them, they’ve taken care of with zero fuss. These are the guys you want to trust your car’s restoration with. You don’t deal with employees who come and go, who treat you as an obstacle between them and their paycheck, you deal with people who have invested decades into this business and who take real pride in what they do.

I give them 10 stars, they are always ready to help no matter how bussy. They did body work on both my cars ..like new. I have used them a few times in the past and again last week. Its always a pleasure to work with all of them.
