My vintage Mercedes wagon was involved in a fairly serious crash (not my fault) in March of 2018. I searched for a long time, but no one was willing to take on the project to fix it up, even after I procured an entire second car with which to pull any needed parts from. Seems like no body shop wanted to deal with an older vehicle, and many didn't want to deal with anything at all that wasn't an insurance claim. I was quoted "well over" $12,000 by one of the few shops that even give me a price. Lucky's did amazing work on my old warhorse. I would recommend them to anyone with an older or unique vehicle. They did absolutely outstanding work on both the paint and bodywork. If I ever need anything done again, I'm going back there first. Word of warning, though: be prepared to deal exclusively in cash. Not a huge deal, but good to know ahead of time! read more

Lucky's Paint & Body - After (angle 3) - Body Shops Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Had much of my 2009 Kia Optima repainted at Lucky's. Charlie did an excellent job at a vet fair price. Charlie is a highly knowledgeable professional and I had a very good customer experience. I'm now going to have him do a repaint on my Ford pickup. It is important to know that Lucky's is a cash only business so be prepared to arrange for payment by cash. It is well worth it. Charlie's prices are great! read more

Place looks sketch but Lucky was super nice and professional. Cash only. Did an amazing job on repainting my car. I would highly recommend him and his staff. He even finished it way earlier than he quoted me on time. read more

I was a bit confused about the location at first, but once I found it correctly, I had nothing but a positive experience! My car was keyed, and I had gotten ridiculous quotes elsewhere to have it fixed. After reading the reviews on here I decided to try him out. Not only was he fairly priced, but his work and detail on my car was absolutely amazing matching my BMW's paint perfectly! It truly looks like it never even happened. This is a cash, or check only establishment, but that shouldn't deter you from trusting your vehicle here. read more

Nice buddy work highly recommended . Got Toyota car fixed. Good reasonable price and I will recommend those shop again

I recently needed auto body repair services for two spots on my vehicle that were inexplicably placed; a front bumper dent from God only knows who/where several months ago, and a more recent rear view mirror almost completely obliterated..thank you crazy Tampa drivers! (I hit a car once...silly me, I did the right thing a left them a detailed note). I did not want the hassle of going through my insurance company so that I could pay my $500 deductible and they could pay the $300-400 balance and then up my annual premiums by double that amount the following year, so I sought out a reputable, locally-owned-small-family body shop, similar to the one I worked with (quite regularly, I might add) in my hometown. I figured I might as well develop this relationship now... A handful of Yelp reviewers guided me to Lucky's Paint & Body. I went to their website and submitted an online inquiry on a Friday, and when I didn't receive a response by Monday morning, I called them. Charlie answered and apologized, but explained that he did not receive my message, and requested I come by and he could provide a quick and easy quote in as little as five minutes...so I did. And he did. Charlie was extremely personable, professional, and thorough in both his communications and his work. He gave me a very reasonable quote, explained repair options, time frame, and we scheduled a time to drop my vehicle off. He continued to communicate with me during the time my vehicle was being repaired, and completed the job on the date originally promised even though an additional part was needed to complete the job. A day after retrieving my car, I noticed two minor issues I failed to noticed when I picked up my car. I contacted him via email (not using the automated system, but the email address provided on the website)...it was the weekend and I knew he was closed but still wanted to notify him as soon as possible. He replied and suggested I stop by first thing Monday, which I did. The two issues were resolved in less than five minutes and I was on my way. Charlie told me that if I had a problem at all, to contact him and allow him the opportunity to correct it, which I did; and he did. He also said that if I was pleased with his work and service, to let others know, which I am doing. I couldn't be more pleased with the work that was completed, the price that I paid, and the service I received. I ran into another customer who couldn't say enough positive things about the body work Lucky's completed on his modified sports car. If you need repair work, give Charlie a call (don't use the automated message system on the website). Better yet, just stop by the shop during their open hours. You will be glad you did. read more

Too expensive, quoted me and I walked away confused as to why he charged over $1,000 more than other places.

After taking my Truck to a "Well Known" Paint and Body Shop and discover what a horrible job they did, I brought it to Lucky's. The incredible job he did to completely redo my truck to factory new finish complete was beyond words. It was done fast and with passion and pride. You can tell that his heart was poured into his work. Very reasonable and quick. I HIGHLY recommend Lucky's. Always trust your vehicle to someone that knows their work and cares what you think of it when he is done. Big Cheap box stores really don't care.. Lucky's DOES!!! read more

I've been meaning to right a review about Lucky's for the past year because this place is the best body shop I have ever been too. Last year I rear ended someone and completely wrecked my car. With every other body shop telling me it was totaled or my 2005 Toyota wasn't worth being saved, Lucky thought otherwise. With my car only having 50,000 miles and being a 2005, he told me it could be saved, it may not look great, but it'll get me to where I need to go for the next 5 years. I dropped my car off scared to pick it up because of how it will look....I was thinking a black bumper on my grey car or different headlights that didn't match....I was greatly surprised when I showed up a short 3 days later to my car looking better than it did before my accident. Lucky, thank you so much for putting my car back together for such a reasonable price. I have referred so many people to this place. If you're reading this review, just go see what he has to say because I'm positive this man will do better than any other body shop! read more

See all

Cash only but they do good work and have fair prices. Had me in and out in just a few minutes for a bumper repair after my part came in.

Thought my vehicle was totaled out, but Lucky's was able to repair it and now it looks pretty much brand new again. Thanks for the service and communication. read more

Lucky does amazing work! I was very pleased with my Nissan Altima. I needed a new fog light housing and some work on the front bumper as well as repair to some deep scratches on the driver's side doors. My car looks like new and the price was excellent! read more

For a couple years I wanted my Mustang custom painted along with body work. I am beyond pleased that the decision was made to take the car to Lucky's Paint and Body. After patiently listening to my desired adjustment in the car's appearance the car was left at the shop. On pick up day I could not believe my eyes. Prior to painting you could tell the body prep work was unbelievably good. Every ding and dent was gone. The custom paint job was done perfectly. Now I cannot stop looking at the car with the widest smile. Thanks very much. read more

Lucky's Paint & Body is a hidden gem for those looking for quality beyond expectation. I recently took my Toyota truck for a custom paint job, had it 'Blacked out', and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. The entire team at Lucky's takes such pride in every detail and go above and beyond to make sure you are pleased with every aspect of your service. Since I work close to Luck's I was able to stop in everyday and was impressed with how quickly my truck was dismantled and prepped, all of the dings and dents were fixed along with a few I didn't even notice. If you are looking for an auto shop that really knows what they are doing and cares about the final product then make sure you go to Lucky's Paint & Body. I would definitely recommend Charley and his crew to friends and family. read more

Charlie at Lucky's paint and body has done a few cars for me, in particular, my old BMW gets constant compliments on the paint job because the body is perfectly strait, and the paint is super shiny, He is old school in that he works the metal and uses filler sparingly. The next time I need work, I'll go to Lucky's! read more

I would not recommend Lucky's. Took my sons truck in to be painted. Looked pretty good at first glance, but a few later when we decided to wax the truck we really began to see the flaws. Most of the trim pieces had been broken by the shop. Had very bad shading on one door. Not long after paint started peeling off. Now I am forced to fined somebody else that can repaint the truck. I see all the reviews that say how wonderful the shop is, but a closer look at the paint job and you can really see poor quality the work is. read more

Lucky is amazing. He does an excellent job and he's a kind person. He gives great prices and this place is a gem. If you need car repair of any kind go to this lovely man. read more

Over the years, I've brought several cars to Lucky's Paint and Body, and I've introduced several friends, co-workers, and relatives to Lucky's. All have been extremely happy with the quality, price, and timeliness of Lucky's work. This week, my nephew took his BMW X5 in for repairs to the fender, bumper, and hidden components. Again, the outcome was awesome! December 2015 Kym Blair, Tampa, FL read more

Gotta be fair with Charlie and and crew what i posted on 02/10/16 is true but I failed to contact him with any of the issues and the body work was outstanding on a 93 Chrysler New Yorker 5TH and over all Was a fine paint job, he did call last Month or Feb. to see if we were happy i just haven't return call, mostly due to health problems and illness along with lifes ordeals.So if new man is to blame hope he doing better \. May i say he was outstanding to work with and was a big help during time car was in shop, so i still need to contact him.!! read more

Charlie and his crew at Luckys were amazing! They gave a fair and honest quote, then followed through with great precision. When they were complete it looked brand new. I'll be telling all my friends and family to head here for their next Auto body job read more

Very impressed by the understanding and willingness to help exhibited by Charlie the owner. The work that was done was phenomenal and he went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure we got the best results. Will definitely refer anyone we know in need of repairs or body work done to them. Very fair in terms of pricing and deductibles. read more

I took my truck to Lucky's after reading all the good reviews. My initial thought was the paint job was decent. However several months later when we began using the truck we found numerous issues. It was when we I was waxing the truck for the first time after the paint job, that we really saw all the issues. A lot of trim pieces had been cracked or broken and were barely handing on. Lots of overspray, rough spots on the paint and peeling.I also noticed at that time the that the front bumper appeared to be new. After a closer look there was no doubt the bumper had been replaced. Strange thing was when we asked about waxing he said no need to ever wax it. I also remember he also took a lot longer than we were originally told which explains the bumper issue. I now realized that he did not want us looking at the truck to closely. Most likely we will have to have it repainted. Very disappointed and would not recommend to anyone. read more
