Daku's Auto Body shop was amazing in all that they did. Recently my vehicle had been in their shop for three weeks after an accident. They always kept me updated and reassured about the damages and progress they were making, they help to assist you and do not put you on the back burner. Bonnie was amazing, and would answer questions without putting you on hold! I would/will recommend them to anyone! Any work that my vehicles will ever need will be completed by Daku's auto body!

Had my Ford Flex repaired after being rear-ended - estimate process was effortless and I had a great conversation with this family owned business. The other party insurance company made life difficult, good thing Daku's is an Allstate certified shop and was so flexible, as I had to use my insurance to get my vehicle repaired properly. Complete job was perfect, I got a mid repair update call and when my car was done it was cleaned in and out. Highly recommend this professional family owned business for their personal customer care and professional OE results.

After 8 months of waiting for general motors to deliver the part to repair the aperture panel on my 2009 corvette the body men got to work. what a fantastic job they did! the panel was perfectly fitted and painted. a scuff on the rear was buffed out and they fixed a nasty chip on the driver door plus a scratch on the passenger door. the paint color was perfectly matched, not as easy as people may think. i had an estimate on the driver door previously but they couldn't promise the pain would not have a noticeable color fade. i have never been happier with a body shop or the painters. i've heard corvettes can be a problem to paint but not for these guys. thank you so much for getting my car into like new condition. i will highly recommend Daku when you need body and paint repairs. sorry i don't have better photos. the door had a nasty chunk that i have had to look at every time i got in.all gone now and i smile when i get in my baby!
