My 4 y/o son decided to do art work on our van with a rock. Caused major damage and made circles everywhere. I took it to Lightning body shop where Nalida helps us. She was incredibly nice and said they could buff it for 250. After they buffed it most of the scratches were too deep to fix and buffing did nothing. She felt bad that she couldn’t help us and only charged me 100 for services. They recommended other options that were more expensive, but they were options. Overall they are nice people and really want to help.

Go here! I've been twice for two different things, and have zero complaints. Customer service and friendliness of staff is just as important to me as expertise and the ability to get the job done, and this business hits it out of the park! Shout out to Devin for all his knowledge and help, and Lilian for being professional and patient!

I can not recommend this Body Shop enough. I had to use Lightning Auto Body for body work on my car- service was incredible. Work was done in a very timely fashion and the customer service was top notch. No guessing games and fair in price. These auto technicians are like artists. You will not be disappointed with the end product.

I had a fantastic experience at lightning auto repair and tires! I came in with a flat tire, and the team was incredibly efficient and professional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and assisted promptly. The technician quickly assessed the damage and explained the repair process clearly, putting my mind at ease. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, which made the short wait time pleasant. Also, on another occasion lightning auto body helped me fix my scraped roof on my truck. The process was easy and quick

I live down the street and had a nail in my back tire so I stopped in this morning when they opened and they had me in and out in under 10 minutes! The staff was very friendly! I went based off the good reviews they already have and I’m glad I did because they didn’t disappoint! I would definitely use them in the future again if I need any other work!

Just for fun this morning l ran over a tiny little screw….pull in at work and can hear the air escaping from my tire. Closest shop is these guys. l called and they took me right in. Not only did they patch the tire but they filled my other tires too and were so nice. To my surprise when l walked to the desk and asked what l owe…she says you’re good to go. No charge. Who does that anymore?! Lightning does l guess. Talk about great customer service and this was my first time there! Will be back for sure!

So I have a Shelby, GT 350. I usually don’t like for anyone to work or touch my car besides me but some things you have to take your car to get work done. Not only did they do the mods that I wanted better than I could’ve ever done it, but they worked with me. They made sure everything was to my liking and made sure everything was going to be done in a professional manner and treated my car in a mature way, all my work will be done by the shop from now on. 10 out of 10 recommend for anyone with a High end car to come here for work.

Amazing customer service, very understanding to your situation. Outstanding prices for good quality work

Devon was extremely knowledgeable and walked me thru the entire body repair process. Time frame to get both doors repaired/replaced was accurate and fast with no delays from start to finish. Communication was top notch. Priced out a few local shops and found Lightning Auto Body to be the most reasonable. Couldn’t have made a better choice and will for sure use Lightning Auto Body for any and all future work if needed. 2019 Camry looks absolutely brand new again.

Fair prices, good work, and genuinely good employees at Lighting auto body . Really happy I found this place, my 2019 looks like a 2023 again. Ty Devon and the team.

Great, fast service and an excellent collision job!
Feb 07, 2024
I am so happy with this company for collision AND auto repair. They and Devin were so informative and helpful during the whole collision repair insurance process. I couln't have found a better shop. That is saying a lot since I am 66 yo. So glad my son referred them.

I cannot say enough good things about Lightening Auto Body and Custom Shop. This is not my first rodeo with car crash and body painting. I have take four of my vehicles to them. Ranging from body work and painting to making my Maserati looking like new again. Devon and company do an amazing job. Professional, beautiful, appropriately priced and honest. This is the way this shop does it and you rarely find this among body shops. I would not go anyplace else.

I have used this business for several body repairs. They are very professional, friendly and strive to make sure the work performed is what was quoted and meets the expectations of the customer. Thank you Devon and Lillian for the great service today.

I recently used Lightning Auto Shop to repair the damaged rear bumper, from the moment I contacted them for an estimate to the day I picked up my car, the team at the Lightning Auto shop provided exceptional service. The repair work they did on my car was perfect, and their price was reasonable. I highly recommend Lightning Auto Shop to anyone in need of auto body repairs!

I understand why this company is called “Lightning”. The service was speedier than the speed of light and top notch. I brought my exotic car in for some chipped paint repairs and my car looks brand new again! Devon is really knowledgeable about cars and this place really knows their stuff. I used to bring my car to the dealership but this place is better! Do yourself a favor and bring your car here! You will be equally impressed!

I've used this business for various services and have always had an excellent experience. They are pleasant, prompt and professional. They have even done minor fixes at no charge.

I’m so glad I came across this place!! I got rear ended and needed repairs and it came back 2 weeks later looking brand new! Beyond efficient, communicated with me with how the process was going, and overall great people! Thank you for everything Lightning Auto Body!! Definitely recommend and will be using in the future! :)

I’ve had work done on my vehicle next door at Lightning Auto and knew when I needed repairs done following an accident this would be the only place I would trust. Devon made the entire process easy and parts were received next day. The mechanics here take pride in their work and are extremely fast. My truck looked the way it looked when I drove it off the lot a few years ago.

Lightning Auto Body is the best body shops I've used. They do great job fixing what I've destroyed! And the work stuff s phenomenal!

Owen.

They have my highest recommendation for auto body work! I brought my car in on a random day (during a holiday week), and they did a quick assessment of my car issues & started working on it immediately. I was reguiarly updated, and the process of repairing my car body damage didn't take too long. The results exceeded my expectations, and the cost was reasonable for the work done. Top tier customer service for sure!
