Felder’s Body Shop

things ended well. mr felder buffed out the entire car and painted the rear quarter panel all at no charge.
i took my vintage «$ 100,000 sports car to felders body shop today. firstly to have the passenger side fender, the cowl, and the drivers door buffed out due to paint that began fading a month after they painted the car. this is the second time it happened to different parts of the car. the first time, mr felder apologized and said that the areas needed to be «buffed out». they kindly did so and that did the trick. however today was a completely different experience. in addition to the fading paint problem, i had a small area under the gas tank gasoline had leaked from the tank. a very simple job only required a little sanding and painting. mr felder bluntly refused to buff out the dull faded areas as he did the first time and refused to repair the small repair the area under the gas cap as well. when i asked him why, he said «i’m not going to work on this car because i don’t like it». he became very argumentative and condescending. he went on to say «this is a hobby shop and i only do business with friends» which is obviously a lie as i was a walk in customer off the street when he took on my business. i dare say his «friends» business is only a small percentage of his overall business. i don’t think a large body shop business with a professional staff of employees could survive on the body shop needs of a few friends of the owner. by the way, there were 7 cars in the garage currently being worked on. i have a phd in organizational psychology and have never written a Unilocal review, but feel compelled to make others aware of his poor business policies. i plan to sue mr felder on the grounds that he refused to address the defective paint job.

I brought my car in to Mick for an estimate on a bumper repair where another body shop had quoted me $ 1100. Mick looked at it, quoted me $ 400, did the repair in 24 hours, and picked me up to give me a ride back to the shop. My car looks perfect. Can’t ask for more. Mick is a perfectionist and is honest. He will not try to take advantage of you.

Felder’s is the kind of business I really like. It is run by Mick Felder who has been in business at the same location for 45 years! He’s friendly, honest, and knowledgeable. I took my 2000 Porsche Boxster in for body work and got it back looking better than before the accident, and at a very reasonable price. It took a while to get the job done, but it was worth the wait. I highly recommend Felder’s.

This is the BEST auto body shoppe out there. The owner Mick is a true perfectionist and has pride in the shop and it shows.. Thank you !
