            Long story short. This Auto body shop told me repairs would take on my car 16 days. On the 13th day I ask will my car still be ready? I was told another two weeks. The last week of the two weeks my car was sitting across the street not being worked on and I was told they are working on other cars give it another week. The week of I called to ask about what day and got told to stop calling, the car will be done whenever its done, and hung up on twice. *** gave them orders to stop working on my car and asked for a repair invoice of the work that has been done to be paid. Its now going on 4 weeks and I still have yet to receive and invoice.

            I wish I could give Fred G***** a ZERO star review. If you read all these negative reviews, you see a pattern. It's a guy who is full of BS. He lies, he exaggerates, he keeps your car for MONTHS and then YEARS and still won't make any actual repairs. I've lived in Bradenton since 1992. I'm 54 years old. I've seen a LOT of terrible work/customer service over the years but NOTHING as bad as Auto Body Unlimited's FRED G*****. If you **** yourself. If you truly, deep down in your heart, **** YOURSELF, then give this buffoonish ********* your car. You will be lied to and taken advantage of. He ripped me off with a SMILE ON HIS FACE. He's a great actor and a crappy mechanic. He was recommended to me by a man who turned out to be a moron. In hindsight, maybe meeting Fred G***** is some sort of punishment from G** for something I did wrong. Don't walk away, RUN from this place!!!!!
