As Tek said...stay away from Eane's Body Shop on Radford Road. Their work is crap.

Now George Eane's across from Duncan Honda is the son....he does ok work.

I got my car painted at Down Town Body and Paint in Pulsaki.
(540) 980-4719 is their number if you want to go there. They do great work!

My friend jon, with the silver supra got his car repaired at eanes custom paint, and his turned out flawless, and so did mine. In addition the owner of the green GTP in my neighborhood said he had some work done there and his came out fine. Personally my car is flawlessly paint matched, and the paint has almost no blemishes on it. He took a little longer than I expected, and almost appeared to keep putting it off continuously, but it only took a week total, so it wasnt really THAT long. Anyway, he stripped the paint off my rear bumper, repaired the front bumpers massive cracks, stripped the front bumper, pulled a small dent from my passenger fender, stripped my hood, repainted the passenger fender, hood, front bumper, rear bumper, and installed and painted my front lip all for 550 total, and like I said the paint job was very nicely done. There are a few small blemishes such as where the headlights were installed and some paint got very slightly chipped, but thats understandable in my opinion as I would have done the same thing as they are a PITA to get in and out sometimes. There were a few errors on his part, where I had asked for things to be done and they werent, but all of those things I wasnt going to pay for, he was just doing them for me for free, so it didnt bother me that he didnt do them, just was kind of a let down since I was told he was going to do them. As you've noticed probably my front lip is paint matched, and it was originally supposed to be painted flat black, which was another mistake they made, but he apologized when I spoke up, and said that if I wanted it black he would go ahead and do it, or if later down the road the current paint on it got scratched he would do it, so he made amends for the mistake, and personally Im kinda fond of the paint matched look now oddly enough. I havent had to deal with anyone else around here, but I've seen Jorge's work and it isnt bad at all.

Like I said they are across from the Honda dealership, in this ghetto looking shop. Their number is 381-8550, and Jorge is usually there early in the morning or late afternoon, as from my experience he leaves around 1pm for lunch or whatever. If you go in and talk to him I'm sure you'll feel more confident about him.

He does work for the duncan dealerships around here, the BMW race team in radford, the tech submarines etc, so there's a decent rep going for him there.
