Earl Scheib Paint & Body

ZERO stars. Terrible job! They were supposed to take care of the rust in a few spots. I would have known «take care of» meant just painting over it, I would have probably taken my car elsewhere. Besides the orange peel and the over spray on the trim everywhere, the office was like walking into a smoking lounge you could cut the smoke with a knife if was so thick.
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and go somewhere else!

Awesome job!!! Took my car in one day looking like crap, picked it up the next day looking brand spanking new!!! Also, paid about $ 1600 less than I had been quoted at other body repair places!!! Jeff was honest and direct with my service, I highly recommended it!!!

Unbelievably horrible experience. I brought y car in a year ago (last summer) after someone rear-​ended me and they «fixed» it. One of my back lights was never fixed and still is not the same. They did a complete body paint job due to other damages– this is a well kept 2007 Beetle, not some old junker, so no rust, etc…
Within 6 – 9 months, the paint was chipping ALL over the car. I brought it in, under the warranty, to have them fix the problem. Here’s how my car was returned to me:
–Paint all over the black parts of the car (windows, wheel wells, side mirrors).
–Paint on the SEAT.
–The VW sign had fallen off the car and wasn’t replaced.
–Paint on the windows themselves and on the headlights.
–The rear license plate taken off, not replaced, and no screws for me to put it back on (which would be illegal for me to drive without).
–The reverse light was HANGING out of the car by a cord (and they weren’t even supposed to touch it in the 1^st place! Why were they messing with it?) and the bulb is out. This will cost me even more money to get fixed at a reputable place.
–Someone had smoked in my car (I just quit, so trust me, I can smell it).
–Paint that had dried while it was dripping off the car.
–Masking tape all over the car.
The car was returned to me on their clock– they told me it was ready. I even called within an hour on my way in and they said yes, it was ready. THIS is how they present a fixed car to someone?
IT’S CHEAP– YOU GET EVEN LESS THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Steer clear. I’m considering reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and Lisa Madigan.

FINALLY got the car back. The paint job is what I paid for. The edges on the fenders had dry paint hanging from it. I had to kick them off. The side mirrors weren’t completely painted. The part closest to the window was half white/​half blue. Overall, I am pleased that it got painted, because it desperately needed one, but would not recommend it.
When i was paying for the car, I saw beer bottles. They were actually drinking at work. Wonderful. On top of that they charged me TWICE! Then said they didn’t. I got them on the phone with my bank and even my bank said they did. More issues to deal with.
Finally, I am driving on LSD and my hood starts to come up. So i take it to my neighborhood shop and they said that the last person to work on the car took up the hood lock!!!
DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU ARE BROKE AND NEED A PAINT JOB!
