Scotty’s did a AMAZING job repainting my tri color pearl white car. It wasn’t just any regular paint job. I drove off with my car shining bright like diamonds when the sun hit it…. THAT made me forget all about the fact someone t-boned me weeks prior. Thanks for the awesome paint job & ALWAYS being there when I need you. And the front desk ladies at BOTH locations are SUPER nice & knowledgeable. Bad experience turned good. Thanks!!
