Contemporary Automotive Ltd

"Beautiful work but shoddy customer service. They're a hobby shop for people who have the time to let their vintage toys hang around waiting to be gotten to. Also expect the final invoice to be double what they quote you."

"I recently bought a ram 1500 from Contemporary. My sales associate Sebastian was the consummate professional. I would definitely buy another vehicle from Contemporary in the future."

"Shmitty and Josh were awesome. After visiting several other shops that couldn't do the welding work on my car they got me in and out in the same day. Super helpful, super friendly, great service!"

"The rear wheel well lips on my 2003 Toyota Sequoia were badly rusted. Most body shops today would simply sand down the rust to bare metal, apply bondo and new paint/clear coat. The problem with this is the rust will return in 2 years. How do I know? This happened to my Sequoia. So the second time around I sought a body shop that had experience in metal fabrication. The problem is this is a dying art, and there aren't many shops specializing in custom metal fabrication/welding today. I found Contemporary Automotive by luck on the Internet and took my Sequoia there. Smitty took a look and said the rust damage was too severe to be repaired. I knew this to be the case, because I sanded down the rust in one wheel well before I took my vehicle to Contemporary Automotive only to conclude the metal required replacing. It took Smitty about two weeks to replace the rust-damaged sections, which was pretty fast. He sent me photos via email showing the progress he was making. All in all, I was very impressed by his metal fabrication, welding and painting skills. The rear wheel wells lips look factory brand new. Given the hidden location, I wasn't expecting that level of quality. It's been two years since I had the metal fab done. It still looks new, unlike the job performed by the first body shop four years ago. So my experience has been nothing but positive and I would have no problems recommending Contemporary Automotive."

"Horrible body shop, and horrible people skills. The first time I took my car here was because they were recommended to me by my vintage car insurance company. The car looked good when it was finally returned 5 week later. Two or three weeks after I picked it up the clear coat started turning milky. When I brought this to the owners attention he said bring it back in the spring and I'll wet sand it and it will be fine. During my "wait till spring" my vintage Mercedes got keyed on the hood and trunk lid. I called Smitty, the owner, and he said please bring it in March 25th, 2019. This was two weeks after the incident occurred. I brought my car in and it sat for three weeks...he couldn't even take 5 minutes and get the estimate to the insurance company. My insurance company even threatened to close the claim due to the lack of response from this business. At three weeks Smitty finally got an estimate to my insurance company. After being told my car would be ready by the following Monday Smitty told me that was no longer the case because he was going out of town for 10 days and it would be some time after his return before my car would be fixed! I asked "why didn't you tell me that when we spoke on Monday?" Smitty said "cuz it's none of your business." Seriously??? It is completely my business as you are in possession of my property. I explained that I would not be moving forward with the repairs and my car would be towed elsewhere by the end of the day. I have made arrangements to have my car towed to my usual body shop at Koons Ford and the cost for the towing will probably fall on me. Do not use Contemporary Automotive unless you're looking for a lot of abuse, and run around from this apparent one man dog and pony show."
