Econo Auto Painting in
Longwood (FL)

I had four vehicles painted there and I was so satisfied that I recommended to others and now I’m getting to bring in a fifth vehicle.

Not sure when it became acceptable for someone in a customer facing position to not greet a person properly when they enter the lobby. Almost look like I disturbed his peace. Literally almost had to force him out the chair to even take a glance at the vehicle I brought. I wanted to give Econo another chance after a poor job done at the Kissimmee location, but the gentleman genuinely looked like he did not want my money or business.

Stop overpaying for paint and go here! Econo for the win. For the price you can’t beat it. Definitely a good paint job at an affordable price! I went from red to black on my fox body Mustang and I’m pleased with the outcome! Will send a few more cars here. My selection was (color change, base coat, with clear coat, and paint prep, no body work) Tell Cory Happy sent you!

Crashed the front of my car and they made my car look brand new! Looks like a sports car! They helped me chose the best color and was always attentive

Huge shoutout to the team at Econo! These guys truly brought my Mercedes back to life. They took their time, paid attention to every detail, and made it look brand new—all in just 4 days! On top of that, the price was super affordable. I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible job you did. Thank you to everyone at Econo—you went above and beyond, and I appreciate it more than words can say. PS! W204_Shark On Instagram!

Impeccable job performed by the staff at this Econo! Dropped off my drab, sad, junkyard looking Mustang and came back to a brand new car! Impressive job done with the bodywork quoted and paid for. Color match is more favorable than the original color (touch darker). Only a few blemishes noted where tape lines showed but as to be expected with any paint job. Will follow the aftercare instructions and hoping the paint will last a good while.

I spoke with Corey at Econo Auto Painting, he was able to give me an estimate over the phone which saved me time with my busy schedule. Dropped off the car and picked it up the next day. The car looks great! Everything was quick and easy! Thank you to Corey, he was professional and courteous. I highly recommend them!

If I could give a zero I would. I have taken three trucks here the first being in 2010 and it came out okay, the second was In 2022 and after looking it over was spotty at best and was missing paint in one of the lower cab corners after bringing it to there attention they said they would fix it, I don’t know why it wasn’t looked over before it even got to me the customer. I figured it was a fluke thing and took another one of my trucks there in 2024 for a simple truck bed side paint job when I got it back it had orange peel like I’ve never seen. I asked the manager that was releasing it to me if he looked it over he said yes I pointed out dimples in the paint and orange peel he said they don’t do a lot of body work when painting vehicles yet I was charged $200 for body work. After getting into quite the argument the manager finally agreed to fix it and I did not feel comfortable leaving my truck or any vehicle there. Do yourself a favor and take it anywhere else this place has gone done the drain. Anyone with any kind of knowledge of body work can see. They do not do any kind of guide coat when trying to fix any ripples in your body work. Very sad

Dropped my car off Friday to have painted. It's a 97 Mustang GT. They had a deal going on so I went for it. Glad i did. Got it back the following Wednesday. The paint job it gorgeous and more than i expected. Could have done a little better on the body work as they missed a few dents and i think the door could have been fixed better. I wish they would've called me and told me the door would have been more work. I would have paid extra to take a little extra time on it. I have OCD so it's really bugging me but the paint job is more than i expected, so i can't really complain about the dents too much. I'll still give 5 stars and would recommend them to anyone.

We have had 6 vehicles painted by this shop in Longwood and they all came out amazing!! They do a fantastic job and I wouldn't trust my cars to anyone else. Very reasonable prices and friendly staff.

PLEASE, stay away from this body shop, they will steal your money. I lost $1682 on my car repair and they still left a complete mess. They threaten you by saying if you don't pay the second part of the payment, they will file a request with the title of your vehicle to keep it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WORKSHOP AT ALL.

From the initial estimate to the finished job, Cory (GM) and his crew did an exceptional job on my car. Polite, professional, prompt customer service added to my complete satisfaction. I will definitely use Econo Auto Painting again!

CONSUMER BEWARE: I dropped my car off on 5/12/23. That day was a Friday. I requested primer and extra prep if needed and paid the extra with no problem. See photo attached regarding primer I paid for but didn’t receive. Got a call that Monday saying it was complete. I was really excited to get my car back. Unfortunately, when i got there, the veichle was missing paint on the body and the rear bumper was bubbling up; not to mention dirt from their booth that attached to my paint all over the outside with little dots. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! The manager and his helper behind the counter then decided to fight with me in front of other customers in the lobby about the paint saying this is perfectly NORMAL; as they didn’t want to paint it again. The MANAGER specifically said “LOOK WHERE YOU BROUGHT IT. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. BRING IT TO WALMART AND GET WALMART.” The manager then walked over to my car with a standard black rattle paint can trying to cover the red and paint over the bubble. Obviously he doesn’t understand how paint adheres to vehicles. I feel absolutely embarrassed for the people who own this company allowing buffoons like them to work for it. The paint job cost me 945 for reference. STEER CLEAR OF THIS BUSINESS AND ITS OTHER LOCATIONS!

Had my 2003 ford ranger painted last week , Extremely happy with the job , Exceeded my expectation, Extremely satisfied

I’m not very pleased after taking my classic BMW here to be worked on. I recently took my car here to replace my door and to have some paint and bodywork done on my car. The end result was definitely not what I was hoping for. There are obvious contaminants in the clear coat, and the finish is very dull. There are deep swirl marks from where they sanded and the Bondo work was unprofessional. They didn’t reinstall the door handle correctly so after rinsing and drying my car the trim piece just flew off. And this was the SECOND time the shop gave us back our car. We had to take it back originally because the door wouldn’t even open, there were drips and swirl marks in the paint as well as the obvious glue inside the door from them trying to put back an emblem (which was installed upside down the first time). But after taking it back to be corrected the only notable difference was the readjusted emblem and the door now opens, though not as easily as it did before we took it in. WO-7202113 1/26/23

So far so good! It's been about three weeks since my car was painted here. $500 paint job don't expect perfection. I brought in on a Monday and had it back by Wednesday. Rough surface spots and slight over spray in some places!

** Update... Owner replied to my Google review that he would contact the manager and try to make it right .. that was over a year ago and never heard another word about it... terrible customer service can be added to my review. My original review is below and as I first reported Econo did a great job on our vehicle however I feel it's necessary to update because of a recent development. When we picked up our Santa Fe we noticed the bug shield was not on the vehicle and mentioned to Jim. He responded that the paint needed to cure and if we needed help getting it back on, he would be happy to so. Since it's been 4 weeks, my husband was going to put the shield back on the vehicle at which time discovered there was hardware missing to reinstall and he decided to take the vehicle back to get assistance. When my husband arrived Jim told him the bug shields are just dust collectors and do no good. We wanted this on the vehicle because of upcoming love bug season so Jim asked a guy to put the shield on and the gentlemen dropped the hardware right off the bat (losing even more parts), didn't have a clue what he was doing and in the end it was not properly installed. Because of tbis my husband went inside to ask Jim to have the guy take it off, Jim completely ignored him and walked away. My husband promptly left and the shield wobbled all the way home and the hood would not close properly because of the guy's careless installation. There are now a couple scratches on the vehicle. I stand by my original review that the paint job and initial dealings with Jim were great but don't expect the same treatment if you need to return. Very disappointed as we had planned to take our Elantra to be painted....that plan has changed. Original Review... Econo did a great job on our vehicle. We are extremely happy with our overall experience. Jim was great at explaining everything and our vehicle was ready when promised. A+

I just had my old Silverado painted green and grey at this location and Jim really made it happen! It was kind of a tricky job because the truck is 32 years old so that comes with it’s challenges but he made it work and I really appreciate it. I’ll recommend this location to anyone looking for a reasonably priced paint job and tell them to make sure they ask for Jim. Just an fyi to anyone thinking about getting a vehicle painted here. Paint jobs sometimes have minor flaws. Give the shop a chance to make it right before speaking poorly of them in a review.

In addition to the body paint, they kindly cleaned my headlights and painted my tow hitch. Overall great for the price, but there were some issues with quality/paint consistency. Some of the paint on the roof started peeling after a month.

Got my door painted less than 2 weeks ago here and it’s already showing signs of chipping and one spot wasn’t even smooth finish it looked as it someone touched it by the window trim. Door was painted off the car looked good but now it’s just proving that it wasn’t a factory quality paint job like I tried to make sure he understood that’s what I wanted . Called to explain that I wasn’t happy with the paint and he explained that it wasn’t like that when it left the shop so he doesn’t understand how it is his fault it chips .. over 1 star because I have to select at least one .

I went to Econo Auto Painting in Longwood and had a Fabulous experience, my car was rusted, peeling and faded paint all over. Jim was so helpful and got me in, even though the last guy forgot to schedule my appointment. Jim took my estimate right away and was done with my car in 2 1/2 days. My car is beautiful. The guy that does the detailing went the extra mile and even cleaned my cloudy head lights. Now the lights are cleaned I will be able to see better at night. They took out the dent in my car and my car is a 2007 Corolla that looks Brand New. I have already referred them to my co-worker whose son needs his truck painted. The price was excellent, as I have gone to other places that wanted to charge double what I paid. My whole Family said they were very happy with the results as well.

Two year update. The color change on my 1998 Jeep Cherokee is now 2 years old, but is holding up extremely well . . . and looks just as good as it did 2 years ago when I picked it up from the shop !! Thank you Jim and team for a job well done !! Recent photos show the completed jeep with the roof top tent, etc. Jim and the team did an Awesome job on the color change of my 1998 Jeep Cherokee !! The 20 year old Jeep went from "faded red" to "bright rally yellow" in a week's time !! Jim and the team painted the jambs, hood, repaired the dents, etc. I had "thought about this color change for years" but never took the plunge . . . until I talked to Jim . . who gave me an excellent price . . . and was confident that the results would be Awesome. Great job team, and I highly recommend Econo Auto Painting of Longwood !! . . . COWBOY

My 1st car recently got dented from an accident, and I came to Econo paint for a quote. I spoke to Jim and he gave me an honest, and affordable quote. The team at Econo paint (mostly Jim as far as customer service) is excellent! They were very on top of everything and are very knowledgeable. I am more than satisfied and me and my family will continue visiting Econo paint. I am so happy my first car can finally go back to normal, they got me scheduled very efficiently and worked with my schedule! Thank you so much team!

I'm very disappointed with our overall experience at Econ Auto Painting 725 Hwy 17-92 Longwood FL. We brought in our vehicle for paint service on 12/15/2020. Upon pickup, we noticed that the paint looked like an orange peel and dull spots throughout the body. Our fenders, doors and window glass has overspray paint on them. The hood and roof was not prepped well leaving debris under paint. I brought this to the attention of Jim the advisor. He wanted to argue with me instead of trying to resolve the issue. Unhappy customer.

Disclaimer: Do not take your car to get detailed, the paint will come off! Had my paint job done over three months ago so it had plenty of time to cure, I don't know if it's faulty clear coat that was applied if at all. But if you want it done properly, take your car to your dealer or an accident repair shop. Not to the fault of the great people at Econo but it's a sub $1000 paint job, its going to have problems, don't expect factory if you go to Econo.

*UPDATE* As promised, I'm updating my previous review. After my husband spoke over the phone & had a face to face conversation with Jim (manager), he graciously agreed re-do the job. He recognized it was not done or handled properly. To avoid hearsays, I requested pictures to be texted after the car was fully sanded and he complied with our request. The workers CAN do a good job, yet were sloppy and lazy the first time around. I hope, for the sake of others, they strive to do their best, every time. It will only benefit the company. I'm only giving it a 4 star due to the time wasted, aggravation and inconvenience but happy with the outcome. Thank you Jim for taking care of it. *Original review* I am hopeful to update this review after I take the car back to get fixed on 2/11/2020. I took my 20 year old Toyota Celica to get a full paint job. I bought the Poly-Supreme package (this was their most expensive) $702.99. It entails hand sanding & dual action machine sanding, then the car is painted with catalyzed enamel and integrated clear coat finish. It has a 3 year warranty. I know of someone that took his car there and he warned me to tell them to take OFF the emblems or they would just paint over it. So we made sure to tell the manager to take off the emblems. Furthermore, the passenger mirror a big chunk of paint had come off and we brought it to their attention. My husband and I dropped off the car on 1/29 and picked it up 2/1. First thing: *Was NOT called to advise the car was ready (I had to call) *Immediately my husband noticed the GTS emblem was missing. (At least they took it off right?!) *They left the GLUE of the emblems on and painted over the glue which created nasty build up. If the car was hand AND machine sanded, how is it possible that there is GLUE residue? They sanded "perfectly" AROUND it? They poorly glued back on the TOYOTA emblem, which could easily fall off. If the car was sanded, how come we can "feel" the indention where paint fell off on the mirror? CLEARLY we paid for a service that did not receive. All of these issues were addressed when the car was picked up. Furthermore, my husband spoke to the manager 2/4 and we are dropping it off 2/11. I am hopeful they do the right thing and do the job right the 2nd time around. Then I'd be happy to update. Last note, they only take CASH! Is it so they can do a poor job and the consumer cannot dispute their charges?! (Full car pic is before the paint job to show they didn't put the emblem GTS)

To be honest I wasn't expecting too much when I brought my car here based on some of the other reviews, but it turns out they did a great job! I brought my car to 3 other places to get quotes and what the other places wanted were WAY out of my price range. Econo Paint was third of the price of the other places. Econo Paint was recommended to me by a friends dad who has been bringing his cars there for years so I thought I'd give them a try. I had a small dent and paint chips on a rear door for my 2015 Subaru Forester (It's my wife's car and I swiped a pole) and I was just expecting a patch job. When I went to pick the car up I was amazed at how well they matched the paint and I couldn't even tell where the dent or paint scratches were. In fact there were a couple of other dings on the door that they fixed as well so that was a nice surprise. I dropped the car off one day and picked it up the next day. I dealt with Jim and was he was very professional and just a nice all around guy. I would highly recommend Econo Paint on Highway 17/92 if you need touchup work or spot painting. These guys are awesome!
