Art’s Auto Body

I had a badly damaged door panel on my Toyota and they did a great job on the repair — looks like new! They were friendly, courteous and quick. Gave me a great price! A nicely run local, family shop! Highly recommended.

These guys are fantastic. Quality work. Done quickly and at a great price. Highly recommend.

Not only did they give me an estimate that was $ 100 less than another auto body shop in the neighborhood, they also were able to get me in the following week — as opposed to the other shop which gave me a date four weeks out. The repair took two days (as expected) and when I picked it up the actual bill was less than the estimate and the work was perfect. And they cleaned my car inside and out.

I have been trying to like and trying to like these guys for a while now.
With how hard or impossible it has been to get a quote, I am thinking it is a blessing in disguise that they couldn’t even get me a quote.
There I was with cash in hand ready to give these guys my business, and not once but twice, after I had called ahead to meet with whom I assume was «Art», to get a quote. I had to drive across town each time to meet him AT THE AGREED TIME, which HE PROPOSED, and low and behold he was not there either time. Each time I was handed a phone with «Art» on the other end and he would tell me he was going to be another 40 minutes or so.
If it is this hard to get him to even give me a quote. I can’t help but imagine what a nightmare it must be to do actual work with them.
The other guys have a smile and regular hours and a three year warranty on all work…
Imagine how bad warranty work would be when customer service is literally no existent.
Maybe they are good at body work, maybe not. The hassle of even speaking to someone face to face was enough to turn this guy off, and warn others…
Maybe I can save you the gas and the headache.

I wrecked the front bumper on my Toyota Corolla during a snow storm and was worried it was going to cost me a fortune. Alvaro gave me an estimate $ 200 lower than another local family owned shop and got the parts and work done in 48 hours. Amazing job, I couldn’t be happier. He’s honest and doesn’t try to nickel and dime you.

Took my new grill in to get painted. Gave me a great deal, 2 days later I had a perfectly painted grill. Will be back!

Excellent service! Fair price and HIGH QUALITY work. I am very impressed with the work performed. I would recommend Art’s to family and friends.

Business owners continue to impress with excellent customer service and standing by their service. When I had to bring my car back for the clear coat needing to be touched up, they went beyond this request and searched for areas that could be problematic in the future. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Arturo was so friendly and did not hesitate to come out to talk to me when I pulled up this morning. I had a minor issue that was causing me a lot of trouble. Someone backed into my car, causing the hood latch to not release. Art got right down and started to see what the issue was. He then took off the grill (which was a pain) and was able to release the latch. He made sure that I got the hydraulic fluid in there right away and let me go without asking for anything! Such a help for me at this time. I will definitely use him again, and recommend to my friends.

Good work and honest but took much longer to get my work done than originally estimated.

Let me start out by stating that I didn’t have any work done by Art’s, so my rating is not on the quality of their work. I had gotten 2 estimates from 2 auto body shops on a minor body repair and paint. One is a small local shop with a good reputation which gave me the lowest estimate and the other is a national chain which gave me a slightly higher bid. Both estimates took about a half hour in total with both explaining the process to me.
I saw the reviews for Art’s on Unilocal and thought I would give them a try based on the overall ratings given by my fellow Unilocalers. I called Carlos and set up an appointment for an estimate and drove to Denver. It took Carlos all of 2 minutes to shoot out a number which was 50% higher than the local shops estimate and 30% higher than the national chain.
Based on the higher and hasty estimate given and all of the unfinished autos I saw laying around I would not do business with Art.

Thank you Art’s Auto Body!!! My car (Scion tc) was involved in a hit and run while it was parked outside of my condo and had very significant damage to the hood, grill and side. I had a high deductible on my insurance policy and no uninsured motorist coverage so I was pretty concerned about the cost. Art worked with me and gave me an incredibly reasonable price. He really went above and beyond by painting and blending everything to look brand new.
I had an offer for a discount from Unilocal for a portion off of my deductible but I decided not to even use it because I knew he was already giving me such a deal for the parts, labor and paint that was required. Not only was it cheaper than I expected, his work was absolutely perfect. It is a very small family run business and they take great pride in doing everything right and treating customers well.

In world bereft of honest mechanics, Art stands apart as a phenomenally competent, fair, and reasonable auto body specialist. If you’re looking for all the bells and whistles, not to mention the sky-​high pricing, head to the dealer. Those charlatans are a dime a dozen.
But, if you want to deal with a humble, attentive, and expert mechanic, go to Art’s. It’s a family run operation. I took my Santa Fe there and Art’s price was half that of the dealer. He also helped me with a rental car side mirror I managed to decapitate on a snowy day while he was working on my car. Even drove me to return my rental car! He will work with you on parts as well. He returned my car in a timely fashion and the work was perfect. In a industry beset with crooks on all sides, Art’s shines as a great old fashion business doing things the right way!

I took my wife’s 3 series here a couple of years ago when it got a big (through to metal) ding in the front passenger door by an SUV’s rear door being opened into it– the owner kindly agreed to pay for it.
A different (also well recommended) shop wanted to do both doors, since the ding was so close to the rear door that they were concerned about it matching. And hence it was quite expensive. Alvaro thought he could just do the one door and was half the price, consequently (or cheaper). He was right.
Picked it up a couple of days later. Perfect. (I don’t remember the exact price.)

I backed my car into a pole being the super blonde that I am. Being new to town, I had to depend on Unilocal reviews to figure out where to take my car. Being a female, I figured I should hit a couple of places to get quotes and also to see how I was treated. Two of the five places did the typical ‘darling, you just need to contact your insurance company and we will deal with them directly, you are not going to understand all the work needed for this repair.’ Two of the places quoted an insanely high amount, and after contacting my guy friends with pictures, I realized those places were just going to rip me off. Then came Art’s Auto Body shop with the perfect price and just the perfect amount of customer service. The owner’s son (I believe) was super helpful, showed me what had to be done and let me pick the parts that he would order to finish the work. The gentleman working the front desk seemed really new as he could rarely answer my questions and just seemed so nervous around me (no clue how a short, blonde chick could make anyone nervous); however, as soon as the owner’s son (again, I believe the son and I believe also the co-​owner) was always helpful and gladly understood and did all of my requests. I was super happy and impressed with their service, the work, and not treating a female customer like a complete idiot.

I brought my wheels here when I lived in Denver. I spoke with Alvaro (owner with his dad) and Josh (painter) who assured me that they could do a beautiful looking job. I was quoted $ 350 which included 2 colors and clearcoat. And, I got a beautiful looking job; but, upon closer inspection there were huge runs in the clearcoat. Alvaro agreed to fix the runs, but did not get them all, yet doubled the timetable. Six months later the job has proven to be good but not great: I found that the sides and back (which show in some places) were not polished well, as I specified, so that brake dust has become difficult to completely remove.
So, here is my opinion in a sentence: If you have a car that costs greater than $ 30K, or you are a «car guy,» this is not the shop for you.

I recently got into an accident and needed a good place to get my car fixed. As I am someone who uses Unilocal as a service to help lead me in the right direction wherever I go, I decided this would be my best bet here as well.
As I drove over to the area, I thought it was going to be out of someone’s garage because you drive through a neighborhood to get there. When I pulled up, the owner Alvaro greeted me with a friendly hello and asked what he could do. He went through all the damage with me he could visibly see and explained the process of working with my insurance company and showing me what I could expect. After he inspected the car he quickly wrote me an estimate and told me what I needed to do to work things out with my insurance as well if I decided to choose him. On top of the friendly manor, he told me he would give me 30% off my deductible as a customer appreication thing. Having reviewed Art’s on Unilocal I am glad that I went with their services.
They completed the car in a weeks time and it looks better than new! I will send anyone who ask’s to Art’s to get their car done right the first time. Thanks Alvaro!

I came here 1. because I want to support local shops instead of chains like Abra’s and 2. because of the awesome Unilocal reviews. Let me tell you something, Alvaro is the best guy I’ve worked with in the auto business.
I got bumped by a dude in Boulder; nothing crazy, he just backed into me. I got a quote from my insurance company and took it to Alvaro. No problem, he’d make it work. On top of that, he gave me 30% off my deductible. On top of that, he was super friendly, went through the estimate that the insurance company gave me, explained what he would do, and was upfront with me the whole time.
While waiting on the rental company to pick me up, I talked with him for awhile about business and life. He’s a legitimately great guy and works hard to please his customers. I called him during the day, he said swing by later on, and he took the time to go over my car with me as soon as I arrived. He then told me if I could leave it that day, they’d get working on it first thing the next morning. Impressive. One week later, the car is finished, looking perfect and squeaky clean. I’m talking wash, wax, AND vacuumed interior.
If you’re in the unfortunate situation where you need the body of your car repaired, you MUST go here. Tell everyone you know, everyone you don’t know, everyone you meet on the street. This is how a real body shop operates and a real small business operates. He is a great guy, he cares about his customers and his work, and you’ll leave satisfied.

Okay, so I REALLY wanted to like this place because of the reviews on here. I really did. But when they quoted us more than double that other places quoted us for some repairs to an older Volvo. Their markup for one used part alone was $ 187.00. To fix just part of the problem (replacing the hood) was $ 1500?! Craziness. They were nice, but I’m not gonna get ripped off for somebody’s pleasant demeanor.
We went to Sergio’s Body Shop instead– on the recommendation of our regular mechanic. Oh wow, what a difference! Less than half the price to fix everything, plus paint it? And in two days? Awesomesauce! Sergio spent a good deal of time explaining the whole process and showed us how things were done in his shop. You want someone fair? Go see Sergio at 3300 W. Hampden Ave. 80 110

Okay, so I bumped into a tree stump while backing out of my parking spot, and knocked the front bumper off my car.
Stop laughing. It sucked.
I crammed the thing into the back seat and took it over to Art’s. They took a look at it, and said they’d have to replace the bumper because I had basically ripped it off the frame and there was no place left where it might be screwed back on. So they got a hold of an after market bumper, installed it, and painted it to match the rest of the car.
The honest, fast, quality work has been lauded in the other reviews here, and I’m happy to add my voice to the throng. These guys are great.
Oh, and by the way. The stump got removed about five days after it mauled my car. How do you like that?
