I just want to say Dave is the best! He took care of my 79 VW bus and even did a little extra. He went way out of his way and beyond. I could go on and on this man is so professional and kind. Had my bus in and back in four days. He's my go to guy for NOW ON. Oh did I also mention super reasonable. You won't get a better price in Huntington Beach.

I got into an accident and I thought my car wasn't going to be fixable, but Milton and David did an amazing job working on it. It looks brand new. They are amazing.

David was incredible, straightforward and honest. He replaced the bumper and fixed the hood of my Toyota Prius, finishing the exact day and time as promised.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! There is a reason there are so few cars. They claim they are quality and it is all low. They use some young kid to do their mechanicals with 5 years experience, he is NOT a certified mechanic. The owner and his "partner" are rarely there. I took 2 cars in, one modern one classic and they ripped me off on both! Their idea of body work is cover it up, make it look good, but it is not done right! They promise everything you want to hear and they slough your "job" back to you half baked and not done. I reported them to consumer affairs, and after they contact these guys, they refused to make it right. One BIG SCAM! STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Dave and Milton were extremely professional and pleasant to work with ... they delivered on all of their promises. My car was ready on the date expected and I was very happy with the repairs. I highly recommend Prukop's for the quality of work they produce, their professionalism and fair pricing. With all of the choices out there, I was very fortunate to find Prukop's and will remain a loyal customer.

I brought my 2004 Silverado to Dave to have rust around the upper brake light repaired as well as have the roof and hood painted to match the existing. Being a self-employed residential and commercial painter myself and providing a very high quality of work to all my customers, I expect the same quality of work and service that I give. I can state with 100% honesty, both the quality of work and level of professionalism I received from Dave was poor especially for the price I paid. I was charged $3,000 for work that was not completed up to even mediocre standard and Dave does not stand by his word.To be fair, there were several red flags that should have led me to bolt from his shop, but between Dave and Milton’s good cop/bad cop routine in regards to pricing and Dave talking up a finished job that he did not even come close to delivering, I was extremely disappointed.The finished product was so far from what was promised. I was actually taken back at the poor quality of work. Not only was I disappointed in the work, I was even more so disappointed in the lack of ownership for the poor quality and refusal to make good on what was promised.When I picked up my truck, it was hard to determine the level of quality as it had not even been washed after the work was performed. Although Dave stated that the vehicle was washed, it absolutely was not. Immediately upon returning home, I washed my vehicle and it was very clear at that point how flawed the work that Dave did and did not perform as agreed.I returned to Dave’s shop the following morning. I realized the prior evening that I had overpaid Dave by $500 which he had no intention of pointing out and returning until after I made him aware that I had realized it. In addition to pointing that out, I asked Dave to come out to my vehicle so that I could address my concerns with the dirt in the paint, the un-sanded hood around all edges and other flaws including the swirls from the sander under the paint job which are clearly visible and can be felt.Not only was Dave defensive, he was rude and condescending. When I pointed out the sand under the paint on my roof his response was, “well you’re short, you won’t even be able to see it”. I was taken back by his level of unprofessionalism. When pointing out the poor quality of work, he went on to say, “it’s an old work truck, that’s as good as it gets.” This was a completely different tune from when he was pushing to make the sale. He also stated that I would have to pay more money to get the job completed that was initially promised. While yes, I do use my truck for work, it is also my personal truck and I take pride in keeping it up. The rust damage was due to salt water from my kayaks and paddleboards which Dave assured me he would make like new.After having received 3 estimates from local body shops to paint the roof and hood of my truck, I provided Dave with an estimate for $1,080 which was the most reasonable. At that point I was no longer comfortable with him doing any further work on my truck. Because I did not disclose the name of the body shop, he claimed it was not legitimate which is false. He went on to state that he provided all the work on the estimate however the estimate he provided was intentionally vague for this exact purpose. This is part of his tactic in not delivering what he promises and I would caution others to insist on a very detailed estimate to ensure you are getting what you pay for.There is clear coat overspray on my entire vehicle. The masking job was poor and he did not take any precautions to protect the rest of my vehicle. Overall the entire job was very poorly performed and Dave was very unprofessional. I paid $3,000 for a job that should not have cost more than $1,500 done right. I work hard for my money and cannot grasp the concept of this type of work or customer service. This was a tough lesson that I will definitely learn from and I feel that it was important to do my part to share my experience so that this does not happen to other good people.

I had a great experience with both David and Milton. David even went an extra mile to help me out, even though it could have brought him financial risks, and I am really grateful for that. In addition, the quality of work is great! I had an excellent experience with David Prukop's Auto Body and Paint shop!

Been going to Dave Prukop for years. Does a great job matching the original paintwork which is a challenge with California regulations. Will work with you if needed outside of insurance.

Dave is pretty much a perfectionist. He can make things look like new that I thought were going to need new parts.

I too received a nasty call from Dave about my review. DO NOT GO HERE!!! The OEM vs CAPA speech is a total hustle and the shop does not stand behind their work.

If I could give 20 stars I would, I am so happy with my car and the price I paid to have it fixed. I had a nasty ding in the car within the first few days of owning decided I had to live with it I have now had the car for about 15 months when I was backing it out of my garage and hit it, I was really bummed I called my body shop I have used for years and got a quote! They are always fair and no one can really beat their price until my friend referred me to this shop and so much more convenient and could have it done three days sooner. Dave the owner is the absolute best he fixed my car as promised had it looking like brand new, I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality and service I received. When I picked up my car and did I mention he fixed the ding in my car no charge, I was told by two places that it was a costly repair. Thank you Dave I will never forget that. My car looks amazing. Thank you to my friend Shanen for this referral he was everything you said he would be! Dave again thanks for everything!! You have gained a customer for life!!
