I don't know why they advertise on Facebook when their customer service is so horrendous. They complain about being understaffed -- then stop running ads if you can't take the workload. Over the past two years, I've tried to get two planes painted here. The first plane, it was impossible to get any kind of response from them. When they finally did respond, I had already taken the plane down to Corona Air Paint. The owner over there, Ilio is super responsive. He even texts you to keep you in the loop. When I bought my second plane, I asked for a quote. They provided a quote for the wrong work. I then brought my plane to them and met with the owner and a number of staff members. They said they'd send over a quote right away. We're not at the 6-week mark -- still no quote. Over 10 emails sent, numerous phone calls taken...nothing. I simply can't recommend this shop. I see them doing all these planes for popular YouTube pilots, maybe that's all they have time for these days. read more

I had my baron painted over two years ago. During the process Teresa and company were wonderful. I couldn't be more please. I needed some touch up recently and it was done at no charge with a smile. Great local family business. read more

I am very dissapointed with how I was recieved. I was so polite and was ready to do business but Mrs. Teresa was rude and was frisky when I asked about the products being used. She's one hell of an impatient woman. read more

I have known the folks at ArtCraft Paint since 2009. They have painted two Mooney airplanes that I have owned. From start to finish on both planes the process was very good. I received design help, five hours of body work included in the price, and the best paint products available. Both of my airplanes won "Best in Show" at the Mooney conventions. The business is woman-owned which I appreciate. Artcraft has gone on to paint over 50 Mooneys since 2009. Other owners see the quality and want the same for their airplane. They are honest, ethical and work very hard. My only squawk is if they say 4 weeks, it will be 5 or 6 weeks. But it will be perfect. I have seen large jets, helicopters, turbines, twins and lots of single engine airplanes. All are beautiful. The other thing I wanted to mention is ArtCraft Paint's commitment to community service. They are active in their local community in a big way. They also participate in the veterans activities at Oceano Airport. I can recommend this business with out hesitation. Any pilots should also check out Flying Magazine's article in April 2017 about Teresa and ArtCraft Paint. read more

I went to see Mando at Atlas (they are the best in town) and was not disappointed. He showed me his recommendations, and said they could even install a back up camera. I came the next day and they had the entire thing installed faster than they had originally said. He even installed an extra USB hookup for Apple Car Play. They go the extra mile and beyond. Friendly, quick service, reasonably priced, and even had a credit option in case you don't want to put down a big chunk of change at once. They even called me a few days later to check-in and make sure everything was working well. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Atlas!!!

Former Employee Here - They caused a crash which resulted in DEATH which they are currently in court dealing with. Google N3835U Accident Report. Just last week a Barron left, the trim was put on upside down and there were no cotter keys in landing gear hardware. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE from this place. This company is poorly managed and down right dangerous. Constantly assembling planes wrong and behind schedule causing non mechanic staff to jump in on assembling rush to "deliver". I have seen flight controls put on, not only wrong, but on the wrong aircraft, several times. Owners have had to make emergency landings back the the airport. There is only 1 a&p working there, everyone else is riding on his ticket and majority have absolutely no business working on planes at all. While I was working there we received no training, and we were not given guidance on FAA regulations or safety equipment. OWNER AND HER SON ARE ARROGANT FAST TALKING SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Over promise and under deliver - As a customer I was startled to discover this company is operating without AMT mechanics there. They rely on a couple of "part-time" mechanics to sign off work that others are doing. When I dropped off my plane at the end of summer 2023 I asked to speak to the mechanic, but there wasn't one there, yet I saw planes being worked on. Not sure if this was miss communication but very unprofessional, and SCARY. I have always heard to be leery of paint shops, and... this one in particular. The lead con, Teresa called me when my plane was finally finished, after the deadlined moved back 5 times (3 months late), and my cost went up 35% higher than my initial quote, quite the inflation for a shop that boasts on experience. My only added task was reseal windshield. Seems customer service and management is in constant disarray, praying no corners were cut on my bird in the balance and maintenance department. read more
