RRob Johnson
“Fantastic experience with zero pressure, a fair price and amazing results. Exactly what a consumer should hope for in every way. The owner Sung was friendly, up front and fair. I was referred by my auto mechanic when I asked about recommendations for some much needed body work on our family SUV. I dropped in with the vehicle and explained what I wanted to have done. A couple of days later (some calls were required to source a replacement part/panel) Sung called to give me some options on pricing and warned me of a potential need to replace my windshield – there was chance of breakage due to the need to remove prior to completing the body work. The pricing was very fair and the quality of work was excellent. I can seriously say that there is no need to go search around looking for multiple estimates – but do your due diligence if you have to – just don’t get fooled with the illusion of lower prices – the workmanship here is fantastic. HIGHLY recommend.”

“Sung, the owner, is a great individual, very honest, very friendly, respectful and very professional. Sung provided us his estimate and he went above and beyond what we were expecting. The Pricing? Wow.. amazing.. its very reasonable for the job well done. The job was top notch and fully undetectable. Don’t waste your time going to other body shops. WE would definitely highly recommend EAC and for sure, we will see you again in the future. Come see Sung for excellent work at a very fair price. Thank you so much Sung. Again, we would recommend European Auto Care to anyone.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Sung and his team. I was referred to European Auto Care by my mechanic to get a hood replacement as it had completely rusted out and was unsafe to drive. I had been looking for over 2 years on my own but was unsuccessful in finding anything. After contacting Sung, he was able to find a new hood and get it replaced and painted for me perfectly, all within under 2 weeks. The paint job on the new hood was perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the results and the level of professionalism and kindness I received. The pricing was very reasonable and honest as well. I highly recommend Sung and his team at European Auto Care – I’m very grateful for their service and happy with the results in making my vehicle safe to drive. They’ll be my first call in the future.”

“Mr. Sung and his team were recommended by my mechanic for two body work repairs on my F-250. Service and commination was highly professional through the entire process and the quality of work was exceptional. I was expecting to see a witness mark on one repair as it was on a seam which I thought could not be repaired. The repairs were perfect. True craftmanship, excellent work and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended. Thank you.”

“Good quality, fair price and honest, a rare trifecta to find in one place in this day and age. Lim is a great, hardworking and honest guy that you just know that you and your vehicle are in good hands. This place should probably win most people over by the shear fact that they’re the cheapest place around but add to that great quality and a guy with which you can leave your trust issues at home, it’s a wonder other body shops are still in business. Just drive by and talk to Lim. You’ll know in 30 seconds that this is the place you should be taking your car.”

“Once again I was in need of body work on my car. I was willing to wait two months for **** to open his new relocated Body Shop. He had done work on my car several times in the past with excellent results. I was not surprised this time as he once again returned my car in show room quality. This gentleman is honest, prices are very reasonable, and very skilled. I am fortunate to have found his shop. I had occasion to talk to his employees who were also pleasant. I would definitely give him more than 5 stars.”

“My experience with Sung at European auto Care has been great. I came in on a Friday, my car was worked on and returned good as new by Wednesday. I had other quotes from other people of over 3500-4200$ and he told me him and his team were good and he would try his very best to save me money big time. His price was 2800 and I was happy was the price and his professionalism was awesome thank you”
