I really like their hospitality Jordan made my experience very easy where I didn’t have to do anything as far as communicating with my insurance (state farm) no stress

Dave Habu and his employees at Panel Craft have always done a great job repairing my vehicles, every time. I have used their services on four or five occasions over 20 years. Each time the repair was done promptly and the workmanship was superb. Also the car came back much cleaner than when I dropped it off.

Like many people, Covid caused me to lose my housing and i am moving into a van. i found a van with very low mileage for a great price, but it needed some significant body and weather stripping type fixes. As i am new to this process, i made some mistakes along the way in certain parts i ordered and not knowing exactly what kinds of questions i should be asking Dave and Jordan at Panel Craft. They remained very kind and helpful with me and went out of their way to help me with some things they hardly even do anymore as a shop (because my van has very few factory parts left that can be bought for it) and they usually work on fixing up newer cars or fender bender type jobs. They also connected me a great person for the backup camera/stereo i wanted to have installed because i have terrible spacial awareness and depth perception, so this part of the process was crucial for me as well. During extra difficult times like now, businesses like Panel Craft are even more important-- being treated like a human being and not just a dollar sign. If and when i ever have any issues in the future, these are the guys i will be calling!

Dave runs a great shop and his team recently mounted and sprayed a new front bumper on a newly purchased 2nd hand A3. He quickly noticed poor repair work completed to the front end in the past and they did a great job rectifying. Very happy!

Honest folks who do great work and keeps their customers as their priority. I brought my car in for multiple repairs and Dave did a great job, not only fixing my car but also working with adjusters. Would definitely recommend folks at Panelcraft!
