Placer Auto Body

Placer auto body was referred to me by a paintless dent removal guy. He told me they did good work and have competitive prices. After having my Volvo repaired there I would agree.
Before I could get over there to have the small dent fixed, my wife was in an accident. In addition to repairing the damage from the accident, they fixed the previous dent that the dent removal guy said he couldn’t handle, at no extra charge. The car looks like new again!

These guys do great work. Everything from a quick race car paint job to high end repair.

Placer auto body was referred to me by a neighbor after our new-​ish Toyota corolla got badly scratched during an altercation with a cement structure. An area about 1 sq foot was affected, and it looked ghastly. While the paint hadn’t completely come off, it was badly scuffed.
When I met the owner, he gave me two options — a full rework of the panels involved or a partial rework wherein his (very experienced) painter, Terry, would blend it and make sure the blending was invisible. The second option was about half the price of the first option, and about half the price of what it would have cost me to get done at any other place.
Since I was paying out of pocket, I decided to go for that option. It took them three days to fix it. When I went to pick it up, I couldn’t believe my eyes at how good it looked. The color match was perfect, the blending was impeccable. No way to tell that there had ever been anything wrong.
Not only that, they had also buffed out or somehow fixed numerous other little scratches and dull areas all around the car. Suitably impressed, I asked them how they had done such a good job… the technician who had picked me up from home said «Oh.we had planned to do a partial rework but we ended up doing a full repaint of your panel». I was stunned — they had done the high-​rent version of the work, on their own accord, when I had asked for the less expensive option. Wow! now that’s service!
Oh.did I also mention that they picked me up and dropped me off? (about 13 miles each way)
So…
Pros:
1) Great work
2) unexpected perks
3) pick up and drop off
4) locally owned small business
5) the owner, Tim, is VERY good at explaining the details and the nuances to a lay-​person such as me.
Cons:
1) The work wasn’t done in 2 hours… er…just kidding. There were no cons at all.
In Summary: I know exactly where I will take all my auto body work in the future. Thanks, you guys.

A good place to go if you are paying out of your own pocket. You might as well go somewhere more «high-​rent,» if your insurance is going to pay in full.
They forgot to get a back door handle working after replacement and the parts they used were pretty cheap; however, if paying out of your own pocket and trying to save a buck, they aren’t too bad with their bondo work & cheap parts.
