    My husband and I were very pleased with the entire process with Chris. He made it very easy for us and communicated with our insurance company to get everything covered correctly. The car came back better than new as far as we are concerned.

    For anyone looking for a great customer and service experience, check out Desired Image. Chris and his team worked on my 2017 Ford F150 that required a unique custom paint repair. An object from my rear tire punctured a hole through the wheel well and dented the bed panel from the inside out, creating paint chipping and flaking that could have become a real disaster if not addressed. Upon my first visit to the shop, Chris took the time to review his thoughts with me during inspecting my truck and explained the various options to properly correct while providing the best look, quality, and permanent fix. A final estimate was promptly emailed, clearly detailing the recommendation to fix, and the details around all of the work to be completed. No surprises or hidden fees. I truly couldn't be happier with the final results, as well as the genuine honesty and pride the shop clearly displays through it's team members and it's work. Definitely reach out to Desired Image for any work you may need or might be thinking about having done.

    The best paint and body shop of all time anywhere in the USA. I have dealt with literally hundreds of paint and body shops. Chris and his staff are extremely meticulous. He takes the time to perfectly match the paint color on aged cars instead of just using what the manufacturer recommends. Excellent quality work is worth every penny. Chris insists on only doing excellent work. Chris only hires high quality employee. Everything about Desired Image screams quality.
