It's a mom and pop shop and they did a great job on my car repairs. They explained everything to me in moron terms so that I really did understand what it was they were going to be doing to my car. They made sure I understood all the costs and worked with my insurance company well so the whole ordeal was much less of a headache for me. Kind, on time, hard working, and superb quality as far as I can tell!

We had a fender-bender near Wolf Creek pass this summer.   The tow-truck guy said Absolute Shine in Monte Vista was the top place to go for body work.   He was right!   Good work, friendly people.   They went beyond the call of duty to help us get back on our vacation.

Wanted to share an email from one of our customers yesterday.  We are honored you trusted us with your car. Dear Phinel and everyone at Absolute Shine, Just want to tell you how great my car looks.  Can't believe you were able to get it fixed so fast.  Thank you so much for a job VERY WELL DONE.   Like I told Debbie, your work is good, but I hope I don't have to avail myself of your services any time soon! Thanks again.

WOW!! ABOVE AND BEYOND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! My new 2013 Infiniti was hit by a couple deer passing Pagosa Summit Pass. I called Absolute Shine Auto Body and Paint after speaking with my insurance company and Debbie said bring it on in! They took my estimate from the insurance company, gave me a loaner vehicle and said they would take care of the car, claim and insurance payments and call me when my vehicle was done.  The loaner car was extremely nice, safe and exactly what I needed for my me and my babies.

Upon picking up my vehicle Debbie walked me through and gave me printouts of each sub estimate, repairs and alignment reports.  They had to replace my front bumper and went above and beyond to find a used Infiniti bumper rather than what the insurance company suggested. They also repaired my drivers side door that was dented in and replaced it with a new one. They repaired all sensors and technical gadgets that were destroyed in the crash. They were able to mix the exact color of paint and matched the color perfectly!

Debbie took the time to walk me through the repair process step by step with my daughters which was more than impressive and professional because I was able to see exactly how meticulous they are about the work that they do.

Well done and highly recommended.  I will always continue to use Absolute Shine not only because of the work they did but because of their outstanding dedication to providing their customers with the best service possible.

Today, Jan. 24, 2011, I stopped by Absolute Shine to get an estimate to get my old '83 Jeep Wagoneer back to nearly showroom condition. I enjoyed dealing with Phinel and I believe his estimate is fair. I have ordered parts to assist with the work his shop does. Should have it in in a couple of weeks. I am expecting a bang up job after inspecting four jobs that he has done in the past, they were simply wonderful. Mike Warrick Creede, Colorado

I crashed my car last week while visiting my grandmother in Colorado. The patrolman who helped out recommended I have it towed to Absolute Shine. Despite no promise of payment, as it looked from the beginning that my car would be a total loss, Phinel was extremely helpful in looking at my car and putting together an estimate the day after Christmas, despite the shop being closed and then helping to make sure the insurance agent got out to look at the car as soon as possible. I didn't get any work done there, as the car was a total loss, but they were very professional, helpful and committed to doing a great job, regardless of the money involved.

I love taken both my vehicles to them for front bumper replacement on a 2017 Expedition Limited and a 2010 SRT8 Challenger. They have done great quality work on both vehicles. Always great at communicating any issues in the interim of it being repaired to let the customer know! Very professional when interacting and assisting their customers and always try to get the best parts for your repair. They definitely are the only place I would trust in the San Luis Valley. It’s a family owned and operated business that has great employees that carry themselves with good character! Thanks for the great work guys!

We hit a deer and messed up the passenger side of our car. Took it to absolute shine and immediately got an appraisal and they got in touch with my insurance. Phinel and Corey Garcia were very professional and polite. They repaired and painted my car and it looks excellent. Highly recommend this place!! Thank you very much!!!!

We were traveling from out of town, and had an accident. We needed body work done to be able to return our vehicle home, and Absolute Shine saved us! I cannot say enough about the staff and technicians here, truly our Christmas Miracle. They cared about our situation and really saved us from a much larger headache. Got us in and out within the hour and we are so thankful. Will recommend them to anyone passing through or in the South Fork/Monte Vista area.
