Stopped at one place and they did not handle exhaust but directed me on to Lake Placid Auto Repair. Never judge a book by it's cover. This shop looks small and crowded, what makes it amazing is the folks inside. I am a single woman in my 40s who knows nothing about cars. They could have told me I needed all kinds of work done and I would have believed it (that sound was scary). Instead the owner took a look right away, told me it was a quick and inexpensive fix. He had me on my way in less than an hour and for less than $50!!!!!! They will be my mechanics for as long as I am in Highlands County. What a hidden gem. I can't recommend them highly enough. An honest mechanic is worth their weight in gold.

I needed some paint work done on my 2018 Corvette. The sun had begun to fade the paint. Artistic is…read morevery well known for the quality of their work. They painted the car, completely, with the exception of a few lower panels. When I picked the car up, the paint job was excellent, as expected. BUT, after I got home with it, later that day, I was going over the paint job, and I noticed that both side windows, had been cleaned with some type of solvent. When I took the car back to show them, they INSTANTLY told me that the damage was from the sun. Come on, I was born at night, but not last night. The following weekend, I took the car to a couple of Corvette shows, with the windows down, I pointed out the damage, and told everyone, who did the paint job. I also told them that the reps from the body shop, both said that it was from the sun. Every person who stopped to look at the paint job, also stated, what I already knew, the damage is not from the sun, but a solvent. I waited for the phone call, to straighten this issue up. The NEW OWNER, never called me. Steve would have called the first day, and corrected the problem. The new owner,"Red", bought it from Steve, but doesn't run the business like Steve. The same employees are there, so the paint work, is still very good, but the customer relations, is gone. Steve took care of you. This new guy, appears that he's just after the money. I sought the advice of a large law firm. What they told me is, "if they are going to lie to me, and not take responsibility for what his employees actions, is not a place that can be trusted. I would expect any employee, admit their mistake, but Reds employee did not admit it. So, in the future, any kind of body work, on any of my cars, will NOT be done at Reds. I want to do business with companies that are honest, regardless of fault, on large, or small issues. I will continue to point this out to my friends, and people at car shows. I found pictures from before they painted it. But the pictures are not clear enough to see. I've always worked for companies, that were straight up honest companies. If I messed up, I told the truth, and it was corrected, with no repercussions against me. We were honest. At the body shop, when I went there to show them, one of the office girls told me to use Laquita thinner on the paint, to remove overspray. I STOPPED HER FROM DOING THAT, but I should have just let her do it. So, bottom line is, myself and a lot of people that I know, will no longer use, REDS, Artistic bodywork's in Sebring, Florida, Hwy 27, THE PAINT JOB IS VERY NICE, the HONESTY, is now gone. I worked my career being honest to customers, my parents taught me to be honest, and to not lie to people.

Here is why 5 stars for me:…read more Our car - 2018 Subaru Outback Insurance - a provider for Geico Claims Claims - Put to Geico as 2 claims and approved for 1 - Primary claim - front end impact to another car at a red light who hit her brakes to early and hard on a yellow light 2 - self-inflicted damage with a mailbox - side of car Service story: On the primary claim - we had a walkthrough on the nature of the damage, what would involve new body parts and what needed body work otherwise. This gave the opportunity to ask questions which they covered with clarifications. They made sure each incoming part was the correct fit. Took sending those that were not right back to the supplier. In 1 case meant getting the lamp replacement part from Subaru direct. We were picked up at their location for the temporary rental with Enterprise and were able to leave the rental at the body shop when we picked up our car. This was convenient. On the 2nd Claim: Damages - Impact to driver mirror cracked outer mirror body, dents and scratches to multiple body parts including a poor attempt of a person I hired to cover the scratches (who made it worse) Outcome: - new mirror put on car - great body work and match on paint blending - 64 West Collision worked with budgeting best deal for all Follow On: - you always don't see the small details at pick-up. In our case we had two spots that only needed paint thinner to solve. With the primary claim, a small mark due to taping and with the second claim, a small area due to overspray from the guy I hired to touch up the scratches. Closing Comment: They are professional, all communications left me feeling comfortable and they carried through with a promise of satisfaction on work done.

My insurance company recommended this auto body shop, and normally I find my own repair shop. But the reviews were good. They did an excellent job, made sure I got a new bumper (not just a paint job), and fixed the odds and ins that broke due to the volume of animals involved (overall the vehicle did very well). This company also did an excellent detail job on my vehicle, totally unexpected surprise!!

The Service Manager "Bam" is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He's the perfect person to be managing an auto service shop! He took a day or so to see what was needed to get our little car back up and running great again. We knew ahead of time what parts would have to be ordered, approximately how much time was involved, and how much everything would cost. We're delighted with the work that was done and, more importantly, the way it was done -- as promised with no surprises! So, we HIGHLY recommend Lockhart Auto Care! Back up & running great again! Many thanks, Lockhart Auto Care :)
