Carnica

Had my car vandalized while I was out of town. Thought I would need to make an insurance claim and have the whole door repainted. A friend recommended that I come here to see if they might be able to fix it. Not only did they fix it, they even got rid of many other blemishes on my car. All for $ 75!!! Love this place.

I took my car with a few scratches from irresponsible people who opened their door so hard, leaving a dent and scratching paint. There was also a blob of bad touch up job I had attempted. Jason, the manager, did an amazing job — it was like magic — the white spots and scratches were gone and then he even buffed the areas — and not a trace of the scratch! The original black shine came back to me car. Jason is very knowledgeable and a through professional and moreover he is a gentleman to core! Unlike other shops who fleece money, Carnica is extremely reasonable.
I have already started recommending this place to my friends, and will recommend this to everyone who wants a great job done.

I typically don’t leave reviews but if I do it’s cause I either loved the place or hated the place. I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about David from Carnica! I took my car there for an estimate on some small dings that I had on my door from my neighbor hitting my car with his car door. I met David and he told me what I had heard from other auto body shops about the cost of painting my entire door, which proved to be too costly for me. He noticed that I wasn’t interested and gave me a second option that I could afford. I took my car in on a Friday and he had it done within a few hours! From start to finish I had the best possible experience ever! David is such a great guy and honestly did everything he could to fix my car! I will tell everyone I know to go here to fix your car. You will not be disappointed! Thanks so much, David and Carnica!

About 3 months ago a friend referred me to his place for high quality light bodywork and detailing. I brought in an older model Camry that I intended to let me 17 year old drive. It had the usual scratches, and bruises as well as a pretty cracked rear bumper. One of the managers, Jason, personally went over the car with me explaining what could be done and what he recommend. He was not pushy nor did he try to oversell their services. He gave me a quote and said it would be done in three days. Instead of repairing the bumper cover they suggested replacement. Two days later I got a call saying that things went better than expected and the car was finished and detailed.
When I went to pick it up, I was blown away. They had done a fabulous job! The car looked great and the price was exactly what he quoted. I was so impressed that I have brought 4 other cars/​trucks there since.
The cars have varied in age, type and extent of damage (think 3 teenage kids and a wife who parks by sound). They all turned out excellent, were done on time and at or below the quoted price.
In particular, my wife’s new BMW lower bumper valence had a run in with a drive-​thru retaining wall. I was nervous because it is a tough color to match — charcoal metallic. And, the damage included a hole and significant road rash. A new bumper would have easily cost $ 1000+. They looked at it and said they could repair it without the need of replacement. I trusted them and was not disappointed. You would never know it had been damaged. It was done in two days and at a fraction of the cost of what other shops were quoting.
Without hesitation, I recommend this place to everyone. Honest, fair pricing, professional, and on-​time. I have read the 2 negative reviews on Unilocal.Frankly they sound nothing like the 5 experiences I have had. I have no way to compare their descriptions to what I have consistently experienced. I would say ignore those reviews and try them for yourself.

I wish I could give 10 stars! My co-​worker highly recommended Carnica after I recieved absurd/​outrageous estimates from auto body shops, car dealerships, etc.
Fabulous craftmanship/​great customer service. While I sat in the waiting room I could over hear customer after customer raving about the results as they picked up their cars. I was hoping I would be happy too & I was!!! Did I mention price came in below estimate! WOW!!!
Thank you for returning my car to it’s former glory!
I’m telling all my friends…

If I could give negative stars, I would. I dropped off a new bumper to be painted, came to pick it up when I was told it would be done, and the staff told me «they forgot to paint it.» I was obviously not going to trust them to paint it again, so I took it back. As I left the staff were making fun of me and insulting me. Seriously, my worst experience as a customer ever, anywhere. DO NOT GO HERE. They are extremely unprofessional.

I have not yet written a post on Unilocal,but after the service and generosity I have received today, I couldn’t help but share my opinion.
I have been to Carnica on two separate occasions, and each time came out a happy customer. Today, I took my one month old car in with a small scratch. I expected quality, but what I received was beyond that. David was not only extremely professional and honest, but extremely generous in his work. Since the scratch was not major but rather quite minor, he devoted his work to offer a New Year’s gift to me, and did not charge me a penny. I was stunned. I knew that the repair would not cost me much, but not in a million years would I expect such generosity from anyone. I must admit that David showed me that honest, and most importantly, good hearted people still exist.
I will refer Carnica to ALL my friends and family, and definitely encourage anyone who needs a great car body repair to visit them. You will be met with an extremely friendly and professional staff, and a very fair price.

Great customer service ! Will give an amazing price for great work.

I own a limousine company and have been bringing all 9 of my fleet cars and also my personal cars to Carnica for years. They not only do impeccable work, they are incredibly fast. They know that limo’s loose money if not on the road and many times, get them in and out in a day. From the scratched up bumper to the marks from dragging luggage over the bumper to hail damage to scratches to door edge chips-​you name it, they will repair it and the repair is undetectable. I insist my cars look perfect when they are transporting passengers and thanks to Carnica, they always do! The customer service I get from Dave is far above average. He is great and always gets the job done when promised.

After a mysterious sideswipe incident left both a bumper and panel dented and badly scraped on our ’04 Lexus, I wasn’t sure if this was something that should go to a regular body shop. Since everyone from the estimator to the shop manager was extrememely professional, courteous and NOT pushy, I decided to have them do the repair. The final result was outstanding, not to mention the reasonable price. I recommend this place without reservation!

I just purchased a 2012 Camry two weeks before we got deep scratches on our lower bumper. The body shop said $ 500 and Carnica said $ 200. I went with Carnica not expecting to be perfect but I was proved wrong. Not only did they remove the deep scratches but they match the color to my car perfectly which is what I was also worried about. These guys were nice and professional. I know have a place to take my vehicles whenever there are scratches or marks.

I have used them for years. Always great, fast work!

A week after we bought our 2004 Toyota, a woman with three kids in her van backed into my car and gauged the back bumper. Took it here and for the price of a ritzy dinner, repainted it smooth and perfect. now that somebody just banged into my 2008, I’ll be there again.
Also, treat your wheels to something extra while you’re talking to these guys. They work magic!

I have a 2002 Acura RSX and recently took my car in to have a dent taken out of the drivers side door and have the drivers side mirror replaced. The quality of work was outstanding and I was very impressed by the customer service and price! I was recommended to go to this shop by a friend who was neighbor with the manager in the past. Ask for Charlie, he is a great person and also the Manager. I highly recommend Carnica if you need any body or interior work done.

I have a 2006 BMW 330 and have taken it to this shop several times to touch up paint dings and repair bumper rash. I am very pleased with their high quality work at very reasonable prices. Their customer service is also good — friendly and attentive. A big part of their business is providing this service for repair shops, but you can go to them directly also.

This Company proved me wrong and made me a believer by showing me they could remove a deep scratch from my car and not have to repaint this side. I had a pretty deep scratch on my camero and I was driving down oakton and saw a little pizza store so I stopped for a slice. while enjoying my pizza I saw his paint center or scratch repair center and decided to take a stroll over and see what they had to offer. Once there a young man walked over to my car and told me he could have it fixed in 1 hour and it would be $ 139.00. I was skeptic until he told me if it would not come out it was free. He went to work and low and behold my scratch that was such a eyesore to me was no longer there. thanks for the best damn service I have ever had carnica.

These guys take the word «detail» literally. So many shops are selling basic car washing, charging more and calling it a detail job. Not these folks. A toddler had trashed my interior — thrown Cheetos ground down into the carpet, spilled milk staining the seats, Disney stickers everywhere, just everywhere! It was scary. It was a filthy wreck, accumulated over 24 months. These guys got that clean. AND they got the crevices in the console under the armrest clean, by jiminy! They also do fantastic compounding, getting major scratches out of the side of the SUV, saving me from having to get a paint job. Now my car is as clean as it has ever been, inside and out. Looks new! They were polite, prompt and they stood by the phone estimate, too. I will be back!
