The Great Auto Paint

I just got done recommending this place to a pal who needs some inexpensive, but good paint done to his commuter car, so I guess it’s time to write a review. I would also not hesitate to recommend this place to someone with a higher-​end car, if they are not afraid to save some money, sounds strange, but car-​guys can be like that.
I remembered this place because of my great review of Dings and Dents. The two businesses are associated with each other. I have a 2008 BMW M6 in Interlagos blue, that had severe rock chips on the front bumper, dents and chips on the hood, and a huge rock chip on the carbon fiber roof. After getting quotes from the premium places in town, that included replacing the entire roof ($$!!), I decided to pull back and shop some more. I did not want to replace the costly roof, and simply wanted it painted so I did not have to worry about the delicate CF finish any more. I worked with Alex on what I wanted to do (not what the shops wanted to do) and was astounded at how reasonable the pricing was on each panel as we walked around the car. The cost was about half what I was getting quoted elsewhere.
I have painted a car before, so I wanted to see some of his work, and checked out a car they had there. Looked good to me. Bottom line: Interlagos blue has a extremely fine flake in it and is not easy to match, but Alex did a great job matching. There are a couple of small dust specs in the clear coat that I identified, since I know where to look, but otherwise, the finish looks really good. I am probably going to leave them alone and not try to wet-​sand and polish them. I have not found any overspray yet (which is good), and the hood and fender-​blend were done on the car. Dings and Dents did the dent repair and in one case, saved me from having to paint an entire rear quarter panel.
there’s pictures of my car here. Look at the later ones to see the After shots.
It’s a small shop and they can only handle a few cars at a time, but the savings is worth it.

Alex the owner of this paint shop is a fantastic guy and his team did a paint job on my motorcycle.
All i can say is that it was magnificent. While visiting i also saw some of their
Other work on cars and it was top class.
This is a business where there is none of the pomp and flashy sell. It is about good people doing real good work and taking care of the customer in the old fashioned and authentic manner.
They also have a mobile dings and dents business and though i didn’t use this it really sounds like they know what they are doing.

Had my hood painted. Alex was able to match my original color on my 4Runner and completed the job in 3 days as promised.

Have a ’97 F150 and replaced a ’92 Explorer with a 2012 Escape Titanium. In short, those vehicles are rectangular shaped and the Escape’s shape, turning radius and wheel base are different. Result, noticeable scratch and gouge on three different 19 inch wheels.
The repairs are magnificent and the price was very reasonable. In addition to the damages, some small scratches were also repaired. Needless to say, I am a happy camper! Great company and owner!

I wanted to give 6 stars if Unilocal allows me to do so. Tons of thanks to Alex for doing an excellent repair job to my car with almost half price compared with other body shops I quoted.
Two months back, my wife accidentally hit those red poles in one of our neighborhood gas stations so the driver side rear door, quarter panel, and bump all got dents and scratches. Considering the high deductible of my insurance, I was easily fooled by a guy in a parking lot who promised a quick dent /​scratch removal but actually did more damage to my car. The spray he used didn’t match with my car’s color at all and my original major dents became many small dents which I knew later to be more difficult to repair. Depressed by my own stupidity, I had to go to some decent body shops but again shocked by the high cost to replace these damaged parts and even higher labors.
Because I had some good experiences with Dings and Dents before, I finally decided to try my luck with the same shop although I have moved far from Campbell. After 1.5 hour drive, I found out that Alex has become the new owner of both the Great Auto Pain and Dings and Dents. Alex suggested to replace the rear door but just repair quarter panel and bumper to reduce some cost with a almost perfect look and feel. Considering me as a returned customer, he gave a quote which is almost half of the price I got from other body shops. After 1 week, my wife and myself were so happy to see our car to be brand new again! Alex and his team spent extra hours to repair the damage to the metal parts, especially the quarter panel, without adding extra cost, to make sure they look near to the perfection. All the paint job was done flawlessly and we definitely recommend Alex’s shop to everyone.

Took my Pt Cruiser to The Great Auto Paint after a fender bender. Only took 2 days to fix. My car was as good as new. Alex and Alejandra went above and beyond to make this bad experience a pleasant one. Perfect job thanks Alex and crew.

My teenager had a minor fender bender in my car. She got 2 estimates. Great Auto was $ 300 and the other (Dings and Dents) was almost $ 1000. She worked with Alex to get the car scheduled and fixed and she paid the $ 300 and I have a perfect bumper again. Great company, the owner and his wife were very nice and accomodating and willing to work with a teenager navigating her first accident.

I accidentally closed my garage door on the rear plastic bumper of my 2009 Honda Accord. While it didn’t look terrible, it was bad enough that I wanted it fixed. I got one bid that so high as to be unacceptable. The bid with The Great Auto Paint was much better, so I decided to go with them. I wasn’t expecting a perfect job with the plastic, but was shocked when I saw how perfect the job turned out. The bumper looks like new. The job was done in one day. I would highly recommend having repair work done here.

I had several large scratches on my SUV on the liftgate and bumper after leaving it at a parking garage (unfortunately, I didn’t notice the scratches until it was too late to file a claim). I solicited estimates from 8 – 10 body/​paint shops in the San Jose/​Campell area. Alex gave the lowest estimate by a good margin. I was a little nervous about how the quality of the work would be, but he was very straightforward about what I could expect and after he assured me that he would do a good job, I decided to go with him. As it turned out, the work was superb and I couldn’t be happier. We had originally agreed that he would spot paint the scratches, but he went ahead and repainted the entire liftgate (at no additional charge) when he determined that the spot paint wouldn’t pass muster. The car was ready on-​time as he had promised.
I’ll definitely go back to Alex with any future problems, and would highly recommend him to anyone, including friends and family.

Alex and his crew did an awesome job on my Landcruiser. Looks better than new. I am thrilled to finally have found a painter/​body shop that follows through with what they said they would do.

Some one hit my car in a parking lot. Just a few scratches on my rear bumper but they offered to pay for the damage =].
I went to a shop near my house and they gave me an estimate of $ 950. Needless to say I thought that was a bit much and so did the guy who hit me. He recommended this place and I took it in.
They repaired the bumper and re-​painted it for a third of the price of the other place all in 3 days. The guy who hit me was able to pay over the phone and I was able to drive out with a brand new looking bumper.
