Lanzini Body Works

My insurance company and I have selected this shop to repair my brand new ’15 Altima. I will keep you posted of the progress. Today is 1÷26÷16

I first went into the office and was greeted very warmly, and the nice lady went and got Mitch. He also greeted me warmly and I talked to him about my car. We went and looked at my Model A and he was very fussy about going over the entire job with me, he was very good about pointing out things to me that I did not even know about. He has a very sharp eye and really took his time to inspect my vehicle and my needs. Next he wrote me an «estimate» and told me it was an open estimate for the reason he could not tell what someone before him had done to the vehicle. I thought oh no! But i took it back to him and dropped it off at the agreed time and date, once again I was treated very well. They started the work and with their blessing went in every few days to check on progress, there were times when it changed dramatically and times when it did not seem to change much but I could tell they were doing a great job and really gave a damn about their work. To my despair they did find some bad spots that had been covered over in the past but these areas were repaired and made just like new. Much to my amazement soon it was ready for paint and Mitch painted it himself, WOW what a nice job. My dream was coming true due to Lanzini’s great work. Upon final assembly I went to pick it up with a big smile on my face and checkbook in hand. I was a little scared about the extra work that was done and braced myself, shock it was only a couple of hundred more than the origional estimate for all that extra time they put in. It looks amazing and I get thumbs up when ever I drive it. All i can say is what a great Body Shop, what great people and what great work, they kept me informed and up to date on the entire job and went the extra mile to make sure that I was happy. Thanks for the great work guy’s, 5 stars does not say enough.

Came into Mitch Lanzini expecting grade A work. I was hit by someone on my rear passenger door and first took my vehicle here apx. 3 years ago. It ended up looking worse and worse over time. I got it back with new chips and scratches inside the door (see close-​up pic of red paint). The bondo work became incredibly wavy and paint was discoloring. After having the time available I decided to come back to give him first right of refusal to fix it. He started off giving me several reasons why the door looked as it did… 1. different paint was used at the time (a water base) that he had other cars come back to him unsatisfied from before as well 2. his son was working for him then and was insufficient 3. job was rushed through and not enough care taken to do it right. I just wanted the door to look like factory again. I even suggested again for a second time that I would pay out of pocket for a whole new skin, on top of what the insurance took care of, if he thought he couldn’t get the door straight. He said that wasn’t necessary. I am extremely fussy about my vehicles and had a very hard time letting him tell me that he could do a great job on a redo. After verifying he was not going to wet sand the old paint down, as he first wanted to do, which was completely unexpected from a body shop with this type of credibility. I accepted his offer to straighten and repaint the door, again. I told him to take as much time as he needed. I got it back 4 days later straighter than it was. At first glance I was somewhat satisfied that at least it looked better but still not what I expected after my paint has cured. Especially after how confident he sounded in his work. Still wavy, new chips on top of door skin and a large spot with fish eyes (bubbly paint, see close-​up pic of red paint) where the body was obviously not prepped/​cleaned for. This work is a joke. The few hot rod jobs that he did for Mr. Foose must have taken him months to get straight. I am writing this review for others who love their vehicle as much as I do & would not recommend anyone go here for body or paint work. Period!
Update:
How many passenger rear doors does one vehicle have? Since the owner can state that this is completely irrelevant to the work they provided, I would be happy to show my paint job to anyone at any of the local car shows. As well as saying my truck is covered in other dents and scratches to the Unilocal community, if needed, I can provide more pictures of it all. My review is completely truthful, including the photos that the owners are not proud of. If they weren’t proud of it I’m wondering why it even left the shop 4 days previous to my original review. I believe that a 3^rd attempt to make me as a customer happy is redundant, the reason I did not just make a phone call. Or return the calls due to Tara’s aggressive nature as heard in my last received voicemail. I don’t need that extra stress. I am sticking to my review as the other 1 star reviewer has after the owner also commented that he was untruthful in his review as well. Thank you though for your attempt.

Mitch and Tara are AMAZING! I am so happy with the finished product and timing of my vehicle. They are very efficient and honest! Not to mention, they go above and beyond for their customers! 5*‘s

We are also going to get my wife’s Tahoe painted by Lanzini’s body works can’t wait to see how that turns out

You have me confused with someone else. Or that is an obvious stock reply. I’ ve got to admit, its a pretty smart diversion to insulate you from the truth. Unfortunately it not the truth. I had my silver Mercedes 2001 S class here. repaired here. I payed good money and accurately described my experience in the previous review.

I can’t believe it’s already been 4 years since my original review of Lanzini’s.
I’ve seen Mitch for several different projects over the past 4 years. His work still continues to impress me.
When you visit his shop and see all of the cool paint jobs they’re doing, it’s pretty exciting.
They also do insurance work and basic fender-​bender stuff. Not just super custom hot rods and stuff.

Had a minor accident with my Volt. Needed the rear bumper re-​painted. He made it look better than from the factory… I have gone to Mitch for years when I have need Body Repairs. Mitch Does Great Work…

Beyond 5 stars! Not only is Mitch The BEST at what he does, but he is the nicest person ever! I would drive 200 miles to bring my car to him for a something so little as a door ding. I will never go anywhere else!!!

World Famous Mitch Lanzini from the show OverHaulin!

Mitch and Tara are the best! I have taken all three of my cars there over the years. They don’t cut corners on repairs and take good care of their customers. Mitch has a superb attention to detail. Last time I was there he saved me from a nightmare job that was done by some mobile window place that had scratched my paint and installed a low quality window. When I picked it up from Lanzini it looked as good as the day I bought it.
I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a body shop. Top notch, all the way!

Mitch is the man. I’ve had him do numerous work for me over the years and have referred many happy customers to him. This is the only place that will touch my cars… whether it’s insurance work on my daily driver or a full paint job on one of the classics
