He completes the work on time at a reasonable price James C. Google review · Apr 2024 Google I reached out to Diego's Auto Body for a mildly random request- to go to a dealership and drive/inspect a car for me that I am purchasing out of state and won't be able to see in person. Diego did not hesitate in accepting the random job, gave me an incredibly reasonable price, and he went over and did it himself on the same day! He called me after and we talked about the vehicle and he was just such a lovely, helpful person overall. I would highly recommend this shop for their fairness, responsiveness, and overall kindness. Thank you, Diego! Monika L. Google review · Oct 2025 Google Diego does a great job. He and his team worked a miracle on the front right fender of my Mazda CX-5 and fixed the bumper as well.

Diego’s Auto Body is one owner-run shop for classics and exotics. Ask for a written estimate for each car.

The best time to find them is the week you arrive. Walk each car, photograph anything you see, and get it on a list with a written estimate for each item. ### Before the shows Winter brings the car shows and the club drives. Paint correction, chip repair and panel work all take longer than anyone expects, so the list you made on arrival is the list to start on early. Agree which car comes in first and what has to be done before it goes on the show field. ### While you are away The quiet months are when bigger work fits: a respray, bodywork on a classic, a restoration phase. If you are away, decide in advance how you want updates, who approves extra work and how you will see the car. Ask for photos by text at each stage, and ask Diego what summer work the shop can take on. ### Why one shop for everything A shop that knows the whole collection remembers which car has the touchy paint, which panel was repaired before, and what you care about on each one. It also means one written estimate trail across the collection, which helps when you insure, sell or show a car. ### Getting started Send a list of your cars through the form, or call [(239) 261-2199](tel:+12392612199) to arrange a visit to 4186 Domestic Ave. FAQ ## Collector questions.
