I have had repairs done at this business over the last couple of decades but hadn't needed anything major work done until now. I just hung up from the lady who answered the phone and she was so nice and pleasant. Not to mention that she gave me a couple other options on other businesses that could complete the work needed for my vehicle. I would highly recommend this business to anyone who needs service. read more

My wife and I have both had our cars rear ended over the years, Coats always puts them back to factory perfect.

The people lie on these review...The lady at the counter is very rude and I had three van that needed to be done and she didnt even want to answer my questions...fraud all fraud read more

I have used Coats Auto Body & Paint Shop for 15 years. They are the most reliable and honest Auto Body & Paint shop in Wake County. If you are considering using Coats - just do it. You cannot go wrong with this great business. When you call their shop you will NOT get an answering machine - there will be someone at the other end to speak with you and guide you through the process of repairing you car. As the work on your car progresses, the person assigned to oversee your work will call you and explain any changes to your original estimate and request your approval. Again - just use this shop and your worries will be over and you will find that my recommendation and my review is correct. read more

I hit a deer with my brand new 4 day old car on White Oak Road and was devastated. Not only because of my new car but because parts are back ordered everywhere. This team kept me informed every step of the way and they were super professional and understanding. I have been here twice before for small repairs and they have never disappointed. My car looks impeccable again and I honestly couldn't be happier with the service and the staff. These people are stellar, 10/10 recommend. read more

Coats took great care of my car and me. My experience was a very positive one. The staff was very professional and provided updates and the work was done swiftly and professionally. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. My car looks as good as it did when it was new. Thank you Tana and staff! read more

I recently bought a used car and I was concerned about a few scratches that I did not notice prior to my purchase. In the past, I had brought two cars to Coat's Auto Body & Paint and I was not disappointed, so I decided to have the work completed there. I found the customer service to be courteous, my work was scheduled to be done quickly. The staff was amiable and honest, indicating which of my concerns they could and could not address. I respect that. The price was well below my expectations, they were not only fair, they were kind. This business has earned and deserves my highest recommendation. Steve S. read more

I was in a car accident a month ago and after dealing with a tow company that temporarily lost my keys and my horrible insurance company (at that time, due to the level of issues with them I no longer have that company insuring my vehicles) delaying the repair process, overall I just wanted to scream. Coats Body and Paint ended up being the silver lining. Their professional, knowledgable staff provided exquisite service, a fast repair, beautiful body, paint and mechanical work. If you do have the difficult experience of a car accident and/or need body work I absolutely recommend Coats!! Thanks again to Coats and their professionals who assisted me, Blessings. read more

I had the opportunity to get my car fixed by them twice both times they did a wonderful job on my car very fast and wonderful staff I appreciate the hard work and my car looks like new again I'm so happy with the work done read more

Coats was the most professional, impressive Auto Body shop I have dealt with. I love that Ernie Grem would email me updates often that were accompanied with pictures of the progress of my repairs. (perfect customer service) Each staff member was very pleasant and knowledgeable each time I spoke with them and the repairs were done in a timely fashion and my car looked beautiful when I picked it up! They even detailed my car, which was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be using them should I have a need in the future. I was very impressed. :) read more

Had several issues with them, including the Geico Rep. at this location. Geico insurance is great, but this rep at this location was the pits. First she tried to not repair the damage that was caused by the collision, but the tech from Coats clearly saw it was part of the damage. I called Geico to report her. So where does Coats fit in with this? Well after I reported her and picked up my car, the tech disassembled the rod in my power windows whereas when i unlocked the doors all windows went down. The dealer had to take apart the entire inside of the door to repair. This was done deliberately because I complained to Geico about their rep not wanting to repair some damage that was clearly caused by the collision. and the door was not part of the repair. Being that this location houses the insurance company and the rental car company, the employees of Coats have a friendship with both and that is why they damaged my car. I can't rate them above two stars for unprofessional-ism, so I am not going to include their work. This location is on South Saunders St. but owned by one and the same as Garner read more

Nobody likes dealing with auto repairs, but my experience with Coats was as smooth as it gets. I actually received a cheaper quote from Haddock, but they couldn't get me in when I was wanting to so I went with Coats. I dropped off my car the day after Christmas and they were done with my car a few days later. I wasn't going through insurance so I called them to see how long they expected the repair to take so that I could rent a car. They told me they had a loaner car I could borrow for no cost as long as I returned it with a full tank. By the time I picked it up, I really only had it for about a day and then they called to tell me my car was fixed. Very quick! Upon picking up the loaner car, Tana gave me the number of a towing company along with her private cell number just in case something happened after hours. They did an excellent job on my car, too. When I picked it up, they said to report anything within a day or so. I didn't really notice it until later, but there was some residue on the steering wheel and around the door panels on the side that was repaired. It came off for the most part so I didn't report it but there was a small amount of something that looked like maybe dirt or almost oil (?) on the fabric part of the interior door that hasn't come off. No big deal, as my car was just inspected to return as a leased vehicle and they didn't note it on their inspection. Overall, I highly recommend Coats for any collision repairs. Customer service was excellent and they did a great job fixing the damage and blending the paint on my car. read more

I came in with my 2007 Ford Explorer to get an estimate. The staffs are friendly, helpful and very professional. I met with Ernie Grem who is one of the estimator, very nice guy, down to earth kinda guy he gave me reasonable, affordable estimate. When I came in to pick up my Suv I was very impressed with their work. They did an Excellent Job. My husband had a big smile and told me they made this Suv look like the first day we bought it. I smiled right back at him and I said Yes, that's very true. If your car needs repairing I highly recommend you come to Coats Auto Body And Paint in Garner. They will take care of your car needs. Thank you Coats : ) read more

I decided to enhance the look of my vehicle with a new hood. I had never used Coats Auto Body but chose them because of the many good experiences others have had with them. They did not disappoint. I can't recall a more pleasant experience from the the initial contact through the finished product! Best of all, the work they performed was magnificent! The paint match and finish were PERFECT and job completion was days ahead of what I had anticipated. Every person I came in contact with, from the office to the shop, were courteous and treated me as If I was their best customer! Kudos to the men and women of Coats Auto Body. I highly recommend them and know where I'll be getting all my future work done. read more

I took my truck in for a quote and was happily surprised when their projected total cost was significantly less than another companies. I looked over both quotes and Coats put in realistic labor hours and did not try in any way, shape, or form to jack up the price! Their customer service was beyond amazing! We ran into some unexpected issues, and they were so quick to take care of everything in the most cost efficient manner possible. I highly recommend them to anyone needing some body repair! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Coats. They were wonderful on every front! I was getting repairs done from being in a car accident last week. Customer service was friendly, helpful and knowledgable every time I called and/or interacted with them. I received updates from Ernie every couple of days to keep me in the loop on how the repairs were progressing. They were even able to complete the repairs ahead of schedule, and the work was flawless. They even fixed a burned out tail light for no additional charge (something that was not associated with the accident). I must say, I am very impressed and will recommend them to anyone in the future! Thank you for a such a pleasant experience! read more
