WOW! I recently was hit by some debris while driving on the freeway. It scuffed up the hood of my car, so I brought it into Schneiders to get an estimate. They got me in so quickly and Chuck was so helpful! He took my car to the back to look at it and when he brought it back around he told me he was able to just polish the scuffs out for me. I was there less than 20 minutes and he didn't even charge me. Everyone in the office was super friendly. I will definitely be coming back for any autobody needs. Definitely recommend!

They are fantastic from the first visit to the puck-up of my repair! Clips were damaged during a car wash on my 2016 Acura. Clips were promptly ordered & repaired in one day. Professional communication & outstanding customer service! Service: Body & Trim

I have a C7 corvette that had some ugly Lamborghini doors that I've been wanting to get rid of. Most places in the SLC valley stated they couldn't convert it back or the wait time was insane. I trusted google reviews that shows Schneider Auto Body as a top reviewed location. The wait time for the vehicle was a little away but I was fine with it considering the rest of the valley was backed. They accomplished the job in the timeframe I felt comfortable with. It turned out great and now I have a regular corvette! Great work was done and I am looking at going back to them with a different vehicle of mine.

Repairs on my Genesis G80 What an awesome team they have at Schneider. They had great communication throughout the entire process. Pricing was competitive. Workmanship is top notch. You would have never guessed my vehicle had any damage after the repairs. They even detailed my vehicle for me before pickup. Can't say enough good things. Will give an updated review after a few months to see how the paint and everything is holding up but as of right now I have nothing but good things to say
