What MY Customers Are Saying


Rodney has built many show cars for me and has fixed all my personal cars and vans, mechanically and auto body and there isn't any body that can beat the quality of work and the prices. He has helped me make some good money on show cars and antiques. He can paint anything and he has a high attention to details.

I was very happy with the job RodsShop did. The bumper was dented and had popped off on one side. RodsShop did the job for $150 less than anyone else but what helped me out was RodsShop worked with my schedule of going out of town and got the job done quickly. Looks just like it did when I bought the car.
