We weren't aware that they had put a different tire on that was not new. They thought that when they put the tire on, it was balanced correctly but it wasn't so it wore uneven. When my husband went to take the tire off, he couldn't get the lug nut off. He got all the other ones pretty much loose but he couldn't get that loose and when he did, it broke. Another tire company that we went to thinks that when they put it on, they put it on with a gun and they put it in there off center so it didn't screw in like it's supposed to. They forced it in there so it wasn't gonna come off. They did a shoddy work without anybody knowing it. I probably wouldn't use them again.

The estimate on both price and time to complete the work were exactly as quoted. The paint matched perfectly which, for a red convertible is a real indicator of high quality work. In fact, because the work was so well done, I had them paint the front and rear bumpers of my car at their Express shop. Everyone at both shops was friendly and-need I say-honest. It was also very nice that they detailed the cars inside and out! FYI: Don't let their happy face logo deter you. They are the best I have used; not that I have lots of fender benders!

I was getting ready to sell my 2006 Prius. It was in excellent condition but the rear spoiler (on the hatchback) had begun to peel from the sun hitting the clearcoat. It made the car look bad so I wanted to spruce it up. The paint on the rest of the car was good.
I started my research on Angie's List, of course! I found three excellent providers, but one was a fairly long distance from my location, so I discarded that one. I decided to get a third bid from Fountain Valley Bodyworks, who wasn't on Angie's List but has been voted best body shop in Orange County by readers of the OC Register for the past few years and had good reviews on Yelp. All three vendors were very professional, courteous and all indicated they could do the minor work I needed in about two days.
I met with Dylan English, who gave me a written quote on the spot (as did the other vendors). I was pleasantly surprised at how little the quote was, because I was under the mistaken impression that you couldn't get ANYTHING done at an auto body shop for less than $500. The quotes I received were for $264, $259 and Fountain Valley Bodyworks quote of $167.76. I decided to give FV Bodyworks a try even though they weren't on Angie's List (yet). I'm glad I did. They did a great job and the new paint looks fantastic and is a perfect color match to the rest of my car. They finished the work when they said they would. The newly painted area has a lifetime warranty. I would definitely return there if the need arises in the future. They have a clean facility and a clean, comfortable waiting area. I'm happy.

Was pleased with the results but, the first night driving the car, some warning lights came on which had not been an issue before the wreck. Called FVBW the next day and they said to bring it in and they'd put it on their computer to diagnose the problem. Their techs were unable to determine the cause so they arranged for another rental car while they took my car to a local dealer for further diagnostic testing. Even though already at the threshold for totaling my car with the original repairs, the insurance company agreed that the computer problem was a result of the wreck and authorized replacement. Have now had my car for several days and am thoroughly happy with it's look. One other note: I put my bra back on but noticed that they had replaced one of the fender well covers and had not replaced the male snap (screw) when they did. Michael told me he would get a replacement and called me when it came in. Once replaced, everything is great!
