Fat Boys Auto Body

Fat Boys Auto Body handles painting and body repairs out of Odessa, TX. Eric leads most of the work on site with Walter helping on jobs. The shop takes on cars and trucks that need paint and body fixes, including work tied to insurance claims.

A handful of reviews flag that the crew is not always on site during quoted times and that extra charges show up on some bills.
