I have a lovely old Camry that I damaged when moving house. The folks at Dave Barber's did a superb job of restoring her beauty. I recommend them not only for their excellent work but also for their kindness and efficiency.

Best experience ever! I took my car into Dave's Paint and Body as I knew they had been in business in Gainesville for decades as I prefer to use local companies whenever possible. My SUV had been damaged when an unknown person struck it and left without leaving a note, etc. I expected to be without my vehicle for at least a week or likely two weeks. My plan was to use my nephew's car, Uber/Lyft or rent a car if absolutely necessary. BUT.... my car was repaired in two days!! When they called me to let me know, I was amazed and thrilled. I picked it up today and it looks gorgeous. Great work at a great price within an amazingly short time period and superb friendly people. I highly recommend!

I just got home from Dave's to go straight to my laptop and write this review. I feel so lucky and grateful to had stumbled across Dave's shop today. Everyone was so kind, understanding, and willing to do anything they could to GENUINELY help! As a college student, being far from home, any sort of car trouble is such an intense stressor. I came in desperate for help to have anyone fix my car enough to get home. Dave didn't charge me for anything. I don't have enough words to describe how great Dave Barber's Paint and Body truly is. I can not thank them enough and I highly recommend everyone to go here for any car repair needs! - Marissa K. (Google Review)

A friend recommended that I go to Dave Barbers for some body work that I needed done, and overall I had a great experience. The front desk folks who helped schedule and give an estimate were very kind and accommodating. Even though it was a small job, they made sure I was taken care of promptly. Upon picking up my truck, I was surprised as they charged less than the original estimate quoted, and both the front desk and the body shop workers went over the work done with me to make sure I was 100% pleased with it. These folks clearly take pride in their work and are great people. I received great service with a smile. Would definitely recommend coming here, its a great local business to support. - Justin P.

Amazing business! Am I living in the 50's and business folks are actually helpful, friendly, competent and fair? Must be. I had minor collision damage to my older SUV but it had major effect, in that I could not fully close the hatch, because one corner was slightly bent, & to top it all, the car would not lock without hatch fully closed. I did not want to buy a hatch, so I stopped by Dave's to see if they could do anything. I fully expected to be told I had to buy a new rear end for the car, and have it painted, etc. etc. Nope, two super friendly employees looked at it, talked it over and then took a few minutes of their time to bang out the bent portion enough to close the hatch and now it works fine. And no charge! I am having the very best day ever!! Thanks, Dave Barber's! - Eugene B. (5 Star Google Review)

Went in for a scratch and I was out within 15 minutes. The women at the front desk were patient with my questions and gave me an accurate waiting time to which I was serviced as soon as possible. Most shops will charge a costly fine just to look at the damage, but they did it for free! They provide estimates over the phone and work with you as best as they can. If you need your car repaired in Gainesville, this is the place to go! - Beatrice L.

Dave Barber’s is the best! They fixed my car at an affordable price! I will definitely be returning to them if I have any other auto body repairs! - Payten A. (Google Review)

Dave Barber's worked with me through an extremely complicated situation involving insurance companies and always had my best interest in mind. They were very patient, thorough, and friendly. Highly recommend this business. Very reputable and will see through the job to the end.
Erica thank you, you are awesome. The guys that worked on my truck you are awesome also. Would recommend this place to everyone. Very professional, friendly. - Jackie S.

These guys are the best. Helped me remove some decals that I didn’t want off a new truck I bought. Helped me early in the morning when no one else was available and open. The lady at the front even helped me before the body guys were in the shop. Got right to it and for a good price. Highly recommend using them! - Kyle R. (5 Star Google Review)

Dave Barber's is truly, truly, truly the best car repair place in Gainesville!! We came in after prep boys on Newberry charged us to fix our broken car window and knowingly gave the car back to us with a damaged channel and motor. Can you guess what happened not even two days after we got it? Yup!! It broke again!! Not only did they fix the problem, but they went out of their way to illustrate VISUALS of what truly was damaged, needed to be replaced and ordered the most inexpensive parts for us college students. The two ladies at the front desk were really nice and so was the guy with pretty eyes and long beard. Thank you guys so much, you guys fixed our window about two weeks ago and it’s still going up and down smoothly! - The Life Of Brittney (5 Star Google Review)

Love these people and will definitely be going here from here on out. Went to pep boys for a broke power window twice and they still messed it up. Came here and got it fixed in an hour or less. Wonderful and kind people. They even explained what others did wrong to help you understand way better on what they need to fix it and it didn’t cost and arm and a leg. Should have came here first instead of wasting money at pep boy’s. - Brandi M. (5 Star Google Review)

I was in a car accident and this is where my car was towed. They called me first thing the next morning and walked me through everything. They worked with my insurance so I didn’t have the headache of doing it and made sure the parts I received were the best. A huge advocate for us!!! Erica called and kept me updated the whole time, so I knew exactly what was happening and had no stress. When I picked up the car it looked better than when I bought it! You couldn’t tell anything happened. They walked me through how to take care of the new paint and even cleaned my car! I was reassured that if I had any questions or concerns to call or come by right away. They even put air in the tires of the car I was borrowing. I truly can’t say enough good things! - Jennifer H.

Gave car once over. Gave printed estimate. Ordered parts. Installed. Great place to do business with. - David N. (5 Star Google Review)
