canton collision

Very high quality work performed on rear end bumper replacement and paint job. Took Gene a little while to find the Kia parts but he found them and made sure he figured out the correct color paint and didn't just paint the car to some "close to the right" color. Highly recommend Gene and Canton Collision.

I found Gene through Craig's List. I needed a new hood painted. Other shops wanted over twice Gene's quote and were going to take a month to get to it. I needed it quickly but did not have the time to do the job myself. Gene turned it over in ONE DAY! His quality is top notch.

Aside from the high quality work, done at a huge savings of money and time; I found Gene to be a friendly person to me and his employees.

Gene did an amazing job fixing a large paint scrape on my car. He beat the dealership price by a mile and the turn around was quick. I will definitely use Canton Collision again

Pleasure doing business with them, I am an OTR truck driver and not available very often. They were fair with the prices and got me right in to get me back on the road. They went above and beyond to make it happen. Will definitely do more business with them in the future and send others to them. Thank you for your service. Look forward to dealing with you again.

Drop my truck off in 2014 CK 20 Chevy pick up he did bodywork basecoat clearcoat sprayed a bedliner in for me with in Two weeks The work was outstanding and still is today and the price blue everybody out of the water I would take anything back to him

Gene was very professional and work was done on time as promised.

Gene is good hearted, takes on a lot.

Great job great price

Groovy

He took a bit longer than a week that he first stated to replace a fender, headlight and bumper. It took two and a half weeks. He was still faster than several other shops that told me it would be a month before they could even look at it. His price was very reasonable too.

Owner Gene is awesome awesome work

At this time Gene already has my money and there is concerns that was brought to his attention after i picked up my truck. Bad body work that should have been noticed before paint. Then they also did under coating but got over spray on new paint. Running boards used to be solid, not now, they did not install all bolts and now they are loose and rattling. I had to give a1 star to be able to write review. Job took longer than promised to complete and he has not returned 7 calls to make this right, plus all other messages as work was getting done. Price is cheap but work and quality along with professionalism is out the door. You get what you pay for i guys.

I know exactly how you all feel. I dropped off my 1969 Chevelle to Canton Collision on September 29, 2013. Gene had came out to my house near the end of summer 2013 to take a look at (Quote work to be done)on my Chevelle, that was the first car I owned in 1985 when I was 17 yrs old. My plan was to have Gene do the body and paint, and I would do the Engine, mechanical, etc.. as a project with my son as he was 17 at the time. The only reason at this time to get the car done was so me and my son could take the car to the Woodward Cruise and Back to the Bricks in Flint for 2014, and my son wanted to take some Graduation Pics with it in the fall of 2014. Gene was well aware of my plans and schedule at the time, and that is why I took the car to him. Well, needless to say but he still has not finished my car. He has had so many excuses as to why, and I can't take it any more. I doesn't even phase him that my son had lost out on our original plans and he is 19 yrs old now. I ended up pulling my car the summer of 2016, and now has to be completely redone because of all of the mistakes that were made on it. Worst experience ever! I have lost a lot of money over these years because of this, along with the time I can not get back with my son for our original plans we had!

BUYER BEWARE! There has never been a more DISHONEST body shop than GENE DEPRIEST at CANTON COLLISION. Takes your money and doesn't finish anything. WON'T ANSWER THE PHONE! Waited over 2 years for what HE said would take 2 months and the car still wasn't done. He ruined our car. WHAT SHODDY WORK!!! Not only did he ruin the car but lost all the parts he took off it and said he never took them off! Had to take it from him unfinished and sue him to recover any of our loses. SMALL CLAIMS COURT knows him on a first name basis! And by the way, he has been working on that stupid Red GT for over 5 years. Still not done!!! IF THERE WAS NO STAR HE WOULD GET THAT. Wish we would have seen these reviews before!

Back in early April 2015, Gene quoted me $X,XXX to paint my 1971 Camaro and that it would take 3 months to do the job (slight rust repair, some new sheetmetal, strip and paint, nothing major). After three months I followed up with Gene and was told that it's going to take a little bit longer than he had expected due to being short staffed. I continued to check in about every other week and was given the same excuse. It has now almost been a year and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not sure when my car will be finished. If you are considering Canton Collision for any sort of restoration work I suggest you look elsewhere.

UPDATE: It's now been 14 months and I'm getting the same responses. I've contacted the Better Business Bureau, a lawyer and the Michigan Department of State. I've begged and pleaded with Gene to finish my car. All to no avail. I think I'm going to just pull my car and find someone else to do it. Please learn from my mistake - do not under any circumstances take your car to Canton Collision.
