Reviews of Sheparski's Auto Body in Thunder Bay

SHEPARSKI AUTOBODY
250 Gore St W
Thunder Bay
I do not recommend using this auto body shop! We have a 2016 Cadillac that I took in for rock chip repairs and the whole front end of the car is a mess after Chris painted it! The first time he painted it was bad enough and he offered to do a second time which was even worse! Against my better judgment I let him try and repair it! The paint colors do not match from fenders to door, the hood has been buffed with a dirty buffer and is now scratched up. I must add is that the second time he said he would repair it all he did was buff and it made more of a mess! There is shadowing in the paint, there is overspray everywhere and on the drivers door where he sanded he took the paint off and left it that way! There is what you call “orange peel”as other painters call it all over the front end! There’s contaminants in the paint! Also indent lines were something has settled and is very visible! I have asked his to return the money and he has refused! And he said take me to small claims court! Very cocky! He also has a older gentleman wandering around his shop that basically said to me if you wanted perfection you should’ve done it yourself! I said I am not a painter and that is why I brought it to a professional and left the business! I would love to add photos but it doesn’t show all the imperfections unfortunately. So now I am going to an appraiser who will mark down every imperfection so that when I take them to small claims court it will be duly noted since he doesn’t want to return money!!
I have estimates from several other body shops that can plainly see the mess he has made! And noted so in their estimates!
If you want a good paint job I do not recommend this guy I cannot stress it enough!
