Auto Express is hands-down the best auto body shop we’ve worked with in Idaho. Dave and Tara are absolutely amazing. As a small business that focuses strictly on private work, we send a lot of customers their way—and we’ve personally had them handle 20–30 projects over the years. Whether it’s collision repair, body work, or paint, they consistently deliver high-quality craftsmanship at reasonable prices. What really sets Auto Express apart is the experience. This isn’t one of those auto body shops where you walk in once and get forgotten. Dave and Tara take the time to know you, communicate clearly, and genuinely care about the outcome. They treat you the way a true Idaho small business should—with honesty, pride in their work, and real customer service. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy auto body shop that does excellent work without the big-shop runaround, Auto Express is an easy recommendation.

Let's start by acknowledging that I am a woman. I usually dread anything car-related. It’s out of my wheelhouse, and I often walk in feeling like I might get taken advantage of.. NOT THE CASE HERE! Dave, Tara, and everyone at Auto Express made me feel at ease when talking to them. They listen and do their very best to keep their customers happy. The work done on my car was exceptional! Thank you guys! I would highly recommend this shop for your auto body needs.

Amazing service and exceptional people that are extremely easy to work with and want to see your vehicle dreams come true. The turnout time was also great as I requested 4 fender flares to be painted along with a spoiler and the work was done within 72 hours, very happy with the product and if I could give 10 stars, I would.

Ok.. my experience with auto express happened by chance. It was the day before I was leaving on a road trip to Seattle and I was concerned about my headlights as they were oxidized and the visibility was low while driving at night. I called around to several places and some wanted up to $300 per headlight for restoration and were not able to perform the work without and appointment. At this point I decided it was not going to happen, at least not before my trip. I went to a friends shop that happened to be next door to Auto Express. Not only did they squeeze me in on short notice but they got the work done in under an hour and did a fantastic job! They recommended I switch to high quality led headlights and gave me those at a fantastic price as well! I will recommend Auto Express to anyone with confidence as this type of customer service, quality and pricing is nearly impossible to find these days!

I am not one to write google reviews but I really appreciated the honestly and promptness of Auto Express. From the beginning they were clear and honest about the estimates and gave me a really good service on the car I took in. Even cleaned it too. 5.5

So, the gel in the CUE infotainment module in my mother-in-law’s 2013 Cadillac XTS finally dried up and rendered the touchscreen useless. (Not one of GM’s finer engineering decisions). In the middle of August that meant no way to turn the AC on and off. I discovered the cost of replacement was going to be $800 to $1200 if I could find a 3rd party to do the work. Dealership estimates were close to $2,000. I started calling around to sound and audio shops and eventually found only one shop in Nampa that would even take a look and give me an estimate. He would only use GM parts and the module would cost $800 with other parts and labor totaling a little over $1,100. Then I discovered ISS automotive online. They specialize in electronic fixes and replacements for a multitude of automotive models. They had an upgraded module (no gel) for $499 marked down to $377.99. I paid for the module, the warranty option and for expedited shipping. It was matched to the Vin number of the Caddy for programming purposes and was an exact fit. If you send in your old module they warranty the replacement for life. It came with a DIY video which was easy to follow. I found an even more detailed video for the 2013 XTS that had even more detail. I’m not mechanically inclined, but I have a brother-in-law who is extremely mechanically inclined and he came over and we tackled the disassembly, installation and reinstallation of the new module. After 3 hours in we were reverse engineering the video to make sure we got the reassemble of the interior parts of the Cadillac correct. And we hit a snag. Things weren’t fitting. They were as much as a half inch off where we needed to match parts with hex bolts. We tried to figure it out for another hour and came up stumped. I let the car sit for a couple days in my garage, with my frustration mounting, then decided to call my regular mechanic at Meineke here in Nampa. We had taken the Caddy in for them to look at, but they just didn’t do that kind of deep dive into the electronics of a vehicle like that. I called the shop back and asked if there was anybody they could recommend. Serendipitously, one of the mechanics used to work for Auto Express and told me to give Dave, the owner a call. I called Dave and he said bring the car over, he had an employee on vacation so he had scheduled fewer repairs for the week and had time to look at it. Another serendipitous blessing. After I hung up, I checked out his website and noticed he had 5.0 star reviews. Dave asked if we could leave the car and we said keep it as long as you need. I was hoping for a 2 to 3 hour labor charge intervention at this point. Happy to pay it! We dropped the car off at 12:10pm and left. At 1:10pm I’m driving to Middleton and I get a text that the Caddy is ready with a 1 hour labor charge. What?! That’s the difference between a professional and a mechanically inclined amateur. Total cost of the module replacemnt and labor. $480. I told Dave I would give him six stars if I could. Finding a guy like Dave, who does the right thing and doesn’t overcharge for it a rare thing in this industry. Go check him out!

Dave is the best! I brought in my Tahoe for a pain job and I am beyond happy with the results. Dave truly cares about customer satisfaction. The price was reasonable as well.

Highly recommend it this wonderful place for fix and repair. I got preferred by my husband. The staff here are some of the nicest people I’ve met . Very hardworking, professional, punctual, respectful, honest, and skilled. My car looks better than it did before the damage, and Dave kept me up to date with every step of the repair process. I can’t put into words how awesome Dave the rest of the staff are. If you ever have car damage, I can’t imagine any place better than this place :)

This place was recommended by a friend who uses their services for his business and it did not disappoint. I went in for a headlight restoration and they look beautiful! It was easy to book an appointment online and the wait was only an hour! 10/10 recommend because I can actually see my headlights :]

Exceptional work and service. My Toyota Sienna had a disagreement in a traffic circle. Dented the door and the front 1/4 panel, door wouldn't open/close properly, knocked the mirror off and scuffed the front bumper. David repaired everything except the front bumper as I was concerned with cost. He did exactly what he said he would do for the price he quoted and at the time he said he would do it. I can't tell it was ever in an accident. Panel gaps are perfect, the wonky door open/closes true, paint is a perfect match. On the service side, he tried to get me in sooner with a cancellation as he knew this was a business-use vehicle (I wasn't finished with the insurance yet unfortunately so couldn't take him up on this), he always responded in a timely manner to emails and phone calls (if I missed him), pleasant to deal with. His repair was also about $1200k cheaper than several other shops quoted. 100% would use again, although I hope I don't have to :) Photo's below: 1 is the damage but after I picked up a mirror on E-Bay and installed it, 2 and 3 are the repair with the mirror folded in.

Dave has been my "go to" guy for the past 5 years...his shop is where I send all my friends and family and knowing him and his shop... it feels like I have a "well kept secret". His team are true professionals.... efficient, knowledgeable and always make you feel welcomed. His prices are more than fair and he works hard to get you in and out quickly. Can't give enough accolades to his body shop, work ethic and the end results are always first rate. Thanks Dave and your team... once again for your amazing work on my friend's porsche...you are the best! Shayne Burr

Once again Dave Allen and his shop Auto Express comes through with five stars! Dave custom ordered a piece for a window panel that was 3x the price everywhere else and it took under 10 minutes to install! He and his team are the best for anything you need with your car...from dents and dings to the biggie auto body repairs to a small broken part like mine had. Thank you, Dave for your professionalism and always having top rate service. I'll be back again...I came all the way from Florida this time😎
