Needed a quick tire change. Smitty was able to order the exact set of tires I requested and get them in quickly. He mounted and balanced everything and got me out the door for changing the whole set in just an hour. Superb service indeed!

Smitty, Sabrina, and their team are one of the most conscientious and thorough garages I have ever gone to. A friend recommended them as Volvo experts for my 1993 240, which needed a tune-up, new belts, new rear lights, and some general TLC. Smitty caught all these problems and more. A month later, I've just returned from having them do a free tightening of the new belts. The 240 purrs now.

Contemporary Automotive charged me $9300 to paint bumpers, trim, and engine cover components of my car, and used Rustoleum(!!!) paint for approximately 75% of it (as indicated on the bill by the UPC code). In writing, Rustoleum's product manager specifically states that Rustoleum Stops Rust Satin Black "...it is not considered to be an automotive paint coating..." When I confronted "Smitty" about the paint that was used, he immediately said it was a mistake, and that POR-15 semi-gloss black was used. This substitution provides no remedy, as POR-15 is no UV stable even when covered by a clearcoat. This is supported directly by the technical information on POR-15's website. 

Additionally, there are numerous defects (dirt/dust) in the paint, the front bumper was not fitted correctly, and all of the paint has a very rough "orange peel" texture. Unauthorized bodywork was also performed far in excess of what would be considered reasonable (charging 3x more to paint a part than the part costs brand new). Contemporary Automotive also put two dents into my car and denied both.

All of the inferior paint will need to be stripped off, bodywork repaired as needed, and parts removed and replaced.  The work was professionally appraised at a value of $770, after nearly 6 weeks at the shop, and the final bill exceeding $10,000.  

This was the worst experience I have ever had with my antique car, or a merchant in general.  Please also see Yelp or Angie's List for detailed photos of his workmanship before conducting business with Contemporary Automotive.

Contemporary Automotive worked on my mother's car to get the engine back up and running properly. We could not be happier with the customer service we received from our first phone call with the receptionist, to our consultation with the owner upon dropping off the car.   He made suggestions of things we might want to work on in the future without being pushy or insisting it be done right now.  I plan to bring my mom's car back here for all its future needs, and even a few body touch-ups down the road!
