Awesome shop and owner. I went in looking for an estimate for a tiny scuff mark on my bumper that was down to the metal. Since it's a truck I was more concerned about rust control rather then the cosmetics. He took one look at it and told me to pull it up to his shop. He then proceeded to buff out the spot, apply primer, and give me instructions on how to apply factory touch up paint. Best part was he didn't charge anything for something other shops would've charged $20-40 for. Real honest guy that I wouldnt hesitate taking my car to in the future for paint work. read more

Scott and Sergio did a killer job on the new floor pans on my 67 Volvo! Even went above and beyond and showed my engine bay some love. Definitely worth every penny! Great job guys thank you! read more

I have brought my car and husband's car to Scott over the years after minor collisions and he does great work!

Highly recommend this business! read more

Scott dropped what he was doing to assist me with a weather stripping problem on my truck. Very solid customer service. If I ever have any issues with my vehicle I will be taking it back to Scott. read more

I called Scott to see if he could fix my broken bumper. Other people telling me I need a new bumper. Scott just put in a couple screws and then cleaned up the whole bumper! Great work, care and availability! Can't recommend this place enough. read more

The owner was up front with the price and how long it would take to do the job I will absolutely go back next time.

I cannot say enough good things about this shop! The owner was quick to respond and gave me a fair price compared to others in the area. Steve not only updated me throughout the entire process but he was in constant communication with my dad and I sending pictures along the way. It is very evident that Scott is very knowledgeable and passionate about his profession. I am extremely happy with my car, it had a dent on the side of the door and he made my car look fresh off the lot. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for good reliable work at a reasonable price! read more

We are repeat customers! Like I said in my previous review, we only use Scott at TNS Auto Body Repair Shop in Ventura for any kind of car repairs we need! I took my dad's car to Scott for repair last week, and once again Scott did an amazing job! He took charge and talked to our insurance regularly while always keeping us updated. Through out the process, Scott yet again was kind, honest, knowledge, and awesome to work with. We got a new bumper, new grill and all additional necessary parts making the car brand new again. We are very thankful to know and work with Scott- We all trust him and further he is simply an expert! Here are some before and after pictures. read more

I have used Scott's shop a few times now, excellent work, fairly priced, and in communication the whole time. Thanks again to T N S read more

This is my new auto body shop! I ran over one of those rubber street cones and it knocked a panel lose on my car. I spent several minutes trying to get it back on without luck. Stopped by the dealer to see what they would suggest. First they said the whole bumper would need to be first taken off in order to get it back on correctly. Then they said the panel should be replaced because of a crack where it attaches to a bolt. I was not really sold on their ideas. I stopped by TNS Auto Body and with the both of us, we were able to get the panel back on in around five minutes. Yes, it was tight, but with four hands instead of just two, we were able to get it pushed back into position with an extra large replacement washer to compensate for the crack that is not visible from outside the car anyhow. Great service, honest, great value, very helpful. read more

I'm so excited with my beautiful new car I just have to tell everyone! Scott has made my 2008 Yaris look like it just came off the showroom floor. Scott was super easy to work with and did everything he promised. Perfect! Shiny and new. It couldn't be better! Thank you TNS. read more

T N S Auto Body Repair Shop and Refinishing Ventura - Body Shops Near Me - Ventura, California

Scott is my go to guy. He doesn't cut corners or try to beat around the bush. He told me what he's capable of doing and how he can do it. I wanted to get my trims around my car colored to match the color of my car and he was able to help me. His work was professional and my car looks great! read more

Team @ TNS was super responsive and helped get my wheel well dent fixed in a matter of hours. They even went the extra mile to buff out some of the scratches to make it look as good as new. Thank you! read more

My car was sideswiped in a parking lot and had some minor damage. Scott was so helpful in buffing out the majority of the damage. He gave me a quote to fix the remaining couple of scratches, but didn't charge me anything for the buffing work he did. Super awesome service and a really nice guy! read more

Honest and officiant! Scott was wonderful to deal with he took care of all the insurance stuff and had a guy come out and adjust original quote I received. My car looks amazing and Scott made it an easy experience! read more

Pros: Scott: managed to fix the car with much less $$ than others Quoted me simply caz he figured out how to do less and have a decent result, I like this. Cons: he asked for more money than we agreed in the middle of the job for no clear reason. It took me going multiple times for a small job ( can use better planning ) There were small things that could have been done better and by mentioning them he did some ( not perfectionist) Overall good experience but can be better read more

I don't even know where to begin. This was the most pleasant body shop experience I've ever had. The owner was able to fix my car in record time and he kept me updated all the way through with pictures and detailed messages. He was able to work harder and longer than he ought to have given my budget and my car looks brand new. I'm very grateful and highly recommend this shop. read more

The owner Scott may be one of the few honest and authentic guys in the industry. He's terrific! He saved me about $1900, compared to what a dealer-recommended auto repair shop quoted, and the job he did was impeccable. He also texted me photos during the repair process to show me how things were going. I went to him because at least three other people in the area highly recommended him on a community-based website, and I'm glad I did! I'll be referring Scott and his crew to everyone I know who needs auto body work done. Scott is a rare gem with a combination of great traits: Integrity, good communication, honest, high-quality work, and reasonably priced. read more

Such a nice man! A shopping cart rolled into our new tahoe and scratched it, Scott totally through and helped me out! You don't find kind people like him very often. He has earned our business for life and I will be referring friends and family his way as well. Thanks Scott!!!! read more

Did some Business with Scott @ T&S auto body , He's Honest and Reliable ! Would recommend anyone to use him if you want Quality work at a reasonable price ! read more

Scott was amazing from the beginning... willing to work with my insurance company. He communicated with me every step of the way and even sent photos of progress daily!! He had it done when promised and even met me after open hours so that I could pick it up as it worked with my plans for that day as I was traveling home from LAX. And my car paint was AMAZING!! And all detailed inside too!!! I would recommend him to all and will be sending my mum to him!!!! read more

Our car broke down today (on a Saturday at 11:30am). The Subaru dealership and the other Auto Body Shops wouldn't help us. I called T N S Auto Refinishing, and even though the gentleman who picked up was out, he said he would meet us at the shop in 15 minutes. 15 minutes later, he met us, jacked the car up, fixed the problem in about 20 minutes, and then said it was NO CHARGE! He fixed it for FREE!! Visiting T N S was a very nice experience and we will be back next time we need Auto Body help. read more

Scott and TNS were great to deal with. They did an amazing job on my truck and were very helpful and responsive. He kept me in the loop throughout the process and I would highly recommend them. read more

We used to refer people to Scott at TNS for auto body work and paint. After what happened to the last people we referred to him we will never refer anyone to him again. We referred some friends to Scott at TNS to have their 240z painted and the rust repaired, because TNS claims to be a rust expert. The Z had rust at the bottom of both doors. To fix the rust and paint the car they charged our friends close to $12K, plus our friends still had to supply and pay for all parts, gaskets, seals, etc. to TNS as well, on top of that already extremely high price. Our friends were willing to pay the price knowing the rust would be fixed. Scott has no idea that we were the ones that referred our friends to him and just saw an older wealthy couple and completely took advantage of them. He also had no idea we would eventually end up with the car ourselves a couple of years later to see the shoddy work he did and find out about the exorbitant amount of money he charged them. The rust started coming back at the bottom of the doors within two years of TNS supposedly fixing the rust. I took the car to Scott at TNS to show him, he tried to say that it was fixed and that it was new rust already coming back. Then he figured out that he knew my husband and that we bought the car from our friends and he was really shocked that we are friends with the people that used to own the car and was even more shocked when he found out that my husband was the one that referred our friends to him, because he's known my husband for many years. He never thought anyone would find out about the shitty job he did on this car. He told me to have my husband call him so they could talk about it and work something out. My husband has called and text Scott multiple times. Scott will never call or text him back. We gave Scott every opportunity to make good and stand by his work. We didn't expect him to fix it for free, but to at least stand by his work and make it right. He has no integrity and if given the chance will rip you off and not do the job he says he's going to do. For the price that was paid, the rust should not be coming back within two years of being painted. We have another classic car that had rust in the doors. It was fixed and painted in 2002, and the rust is just now, in 2020, starting to bubble a small amount and come back. It took 18 years for the rust to come back. Scott at TNS painted the Z in 2015 and the rust started bubbling up within 2 years or less. We have had multiple auto body shops look at the work on the Z and they're appalled by both the price charged and the quality of the work. We have another shop working on the Z right now and fixing the doors properly. When they looked at the rust inside they could tell the rust was old and it was never even fixed. There was just a thin layer of bondo put right over the rust and then painted. The rust in the doors is the rust that was there before when Scott had it and supposedly fixed it. The rust has been in there 8-10 years. It is not new rust just showing up like Scott tried to tell me. The rust should've been cut out, rust treatment Por-15 put on to stop further rust, and new metal put in, and then painted. The rust wouldn't have come back so quickly if it was done right from the beginning. TNS are definitely not rust experts just a scam artist after your money. Buyer beware. The bid says that he would also paint under the hood, engine compartment, etc. None of this was ever done properly either. Under the hood looks like it was sprayed with a spray can. The engine compartment was never painted, you can still see three different colors of paint in other places on the car; Orange, turquoise and a dark blue. If the job was done right you wouldn't see all of the other layers of paint from over the years. There's also already cracks in the paint around the hood and back hatch. If you want a quality paint job for your car do not go to TNS. If you don't care if they cut corners, don't fix the rust, and charge you a grip load of money, then TNS and Scott are who you're looking for. Fixing scratches and dents are one thing, easy to do and fix, but claiming to be a rust expert is completely different. If you aren't going to do it correctly or really even do it at all then don't claim to be a rust expert and mislead people. You don't fix rust by covering it with bondo! What a joke! read more

I had a door alignment problem that Scott quickly looked at. Yes, he could have taken the work and charged me a lot of money like everyone else. Instead he recommended an easy fix that I took care of myself. He even gave me a couple of shims to use. Yes, within 5 minutes the recommended fix worked! It's rare to find truly honest, considerate and competent auto people. Scott gave me back a little faith in humanity today. Thank you read more

I want to thank Scott publicly because I did find him on Yelp, it was a great find too, I just moved to Ventura and did not have any contacts here, so I needed Yelp. He had the best reviews for a reason, great work, honest & dependable, I told him I didn't really want to go through insurance and he gave me a very fair rate to replace my Camry rear bumper, he even repaired my front visor that was falling apart for no charge. I highly recommend him. Thanks a lot Scott! read more

Awesome job on my bumper and side of my car! Was quick to respond and flexible on pickup date. Very reasonable pricing. Went above and beyond by cleaning the inside of my car which was a mess from my dog . Thank-you! read more

I went to TnS to get an estimate on painting my car, the owner Scott was very nice and professional he gave me the estimate which is a reasonable price. After he gave me the estimate he also offered to polish up my very dull head lights so I could see driving down the road for only 35 dollars, he did such a good in only 20 minutes while I waited. As soon as I have the money for the paint job I will be going back to him to have the work done. read more

Bent cars are never fun to deal with. And the estimates are always shocking ... but that's not my experience at TNS. I got bumped the other day while waiting for a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The damage didn't look terrible, but the bumper/fender was bent and loose and there were some pretty hefty scratches. The back of my mind said, well, there's fifteen hundred bucks down the tubes. Not the case. Scott figured out how to repair the loose bumper, which was in fact, broken and work out the dings, scrapes and paint from the other car for less than a date with my wife. And he did it all while I waited. Scott is head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to service, price and speed. read more

I brought in my '07 Metallic green Prius to repair a large dent across both driver side doors. Scott's price quote was extremely reasonable and the quality of his work was perfect. It looked brand new when he was done! But what really earned my 5-star review is the personal care and responsibility Scott demonstrated when I lost my keys. See what happened was, I foolishly drove off the lot thinking my electronic keys were in the car, not realizing they were left "on" the car. When I got to my destination, realizing my keys were missing on the road somewhere, I called Scott and he immediately began searching the roads with me. We couldn't find it, but he went out again the next day, on his own, and miraculously found the key a mile away from his shop near a gutter. This is true dedication to his clients! You can tell Scott has a passion for his craft, it's no surprise he's been in business for over 25 years. It's great when you find someone in the automotive industry you can trust. read more

I wanted my van to look gorgeous again. The excellent Yelp reviews for T N S made this local business sound like the kind of place I wanted to patronize. And that turned out to be correct. Scott was unable to get my van in as soon as I wanted but I figured that's natural with an outfit that does great work. He scheduled me early the next week and took only three days. Scott also washed my van and buffed out the headlamps so they sparkle like new. I'm happy to give 5 stars to this excellent local business that adds a personal touch. Plus he has a nice dog. PS: Scott does really nice ghost flames - just check out his truck! I've wanted them for a future car and now can hardly wait! PPS: ...later on... April 2017. As I prepared to sell the sweet big ole van referenced above, Scott again performed his magic so I was able to hand it over to my friend in BEAUTIFUL shape! (All cosmetic blemishes magically gone.) read more

Scott was a real pro. My Tesla is 7 years old and Scott replaced the front end. Not a flaw. Amazing! Great service great price. Spencer read more

I have been waiting for the right body shop since I bought my vintage 2003 Thunderbird to repair and repaint my convertible hardtop. I met Scott a year ago and came to him recently to paint my hardtop classic white. He completed it in 3 days and sent me photos with updates so I could see the process along the way. No body shop or mechanic has ever taken the time to include me in the process. Not only fun being part of it but his work is impeccable and my car is complete with a stunning top with his advice of just the right white. Great work and very reasonable prices. read more

Scott is a perfectionist MAs attention to the most important details. He strives to do excellent work and will often go far above and beyond what would normally be expected. Scott has worked on my Lexus. My friend's dog jumped up on my car and scratched it all the way down the door. This car did not have a scratch on it before this and I was really upset. Scott was able to remove any evidence of the scratching. He got my car in right away and finished quickly. I have come back to him multiple times on several different issues. He was always able to steer me in the right direction. Most recently my cell phone was stuck under my navigation screen and he took personal time out of his day to help me get it out. That's just the kind of guy Scott is! read more

Scott is an amazing guy! I called a few other places and he was the most friendly, and best price by a lot. Scott followed up with me every step of the way. I had wanted to get the top of my Tundra roof painted black and go for a different look. Scott and I planned out accordingly and I gave him the truck on a Tuesday and had it back on Weds afternoon- sweet!! I would receive texts from Scott, letting me know how it was going and pictures confirming status. I am beyond happy and stoked on my truck and can't recommend anyone better than Scott. Thank you TNS!!! read more

Great experience getting my car back to pristine condition after it was vandalized. Scott was thorough and kept me informed during the whole process. Excellent attention to detail and my car was in great hands! Thanks TNS! read more

I had my car repaired here 1.5 yrs ago. Recently I hit a curb and my bumper popped out a bit. I called Scott and he had me come right over. He fixed it right away and refused to charge me. I would highly recommend this shop!!! read more

I came to this place because of prior Yelp ratings and was not disappointed. Is there a way to give 10 stars? My daughter had some thug throw rocks at her electronically operated drivers side mirror and busted it up. I had gotten estimates as much as $800 to fix it, for one little drivers side mirror. I went to TNS to get one last estimate and came across Scott who advised me to just buy the mirror from the dealer, come back and he would help install. I did exactly this. It took all of 5 minuets when my daughter brought the mirror in for them. When my daughter asked how much she owed them they said not to worry about it. WOW!!!! I went from a $800 estimate to $90, my cost of the mirror from the dealership. They were so generous and didn't have to go to this level of customer service. You can bet if I need body work down the road, they will be my first and only option. read more
