Mobile Body & Paint

03/10/2025

I can’t believe somebody on here left us a fake review back in September I think it was. I reported it to Facebook and Facebook said they would review it and suggested I block the person. So I blocked the person, but Facebook never removed  the Spam review.
So everyone else could see it, that viewed my page except me. What an awful policy from Facebook.Everybody knows I’ve never had a coworker named Tom working for Mobile Body & Paint.. if they would’ve said Nick that would’ve been a different story. We’ve had so many Nick’s over the years. 

Also, we quit doing mobile work for years that was another red flag that it was a spam review. But now that the shop is gone, we’re back to working out of our trucks..

I’m sure we will get through this, though this disaster has been very difficult.  I know I’m not in it alone, as many others have also lost everything.
If anyone needs and work completed, I’ll do what I can to help you, as always. I’ve managed to round up enough equipment to get back to work, I haven’t found a new location, but I’m doing what I can to survive . I’m busy doing something every day, but I’m not making any money and that’s important right now as the bills continue to roll in and back debt from the shop.
Text me if you need anything, bumper repair’s or replacements or light to medium collision, no all over paint job‘s.

Thank you Salon Zhenya,
290 Haywood Rd #102, Asheville,
for donating 20% of product sales for the month of October, to help support the recovery of Mobile Body & Paint.
This means the world to us as we struggle to navigate recovering from this disaster and losing everything. We have received no assistance to recover other than the GoFundMe donations which has went to our immediate needs.
We have been mentally, physically, emotionally and monetarily strained for the last month and a half. We had prepared in many ways, but our efforts had no effect against the wrath of mother nature.
Just imagine spending the last 20 years of your life working 16 hour days seven days a week to have a better life for yourself in the future and then having every thing you worked so hard for just washed down the river.
How does anyone recover? One day at a time, and having even one person or another small business in Asheville step up and show their support, means the world to us.
Zhenya Salon donating to us at this time, is an unimaginable blessing.

Thank you Zhenya Salon

We lost everything. Our home has water, because it is spring fed. But that is about it. We put everything into my business and lost it all. We had insurance but not the right coverage for the business from flooding. The shop suffered through 25’ feet of water and collapsed when a shipping container washed into it from the salvage station.
We had prepped for up to 6’ flooding. We had no warning or time to do anything else as was the case with the rest of Asheville and communities. , 
On top of all we have going on I am also responsible for much of the damage to my customers vehicles.

Needless to say, we lost everything. If I had your vehicle at my location, I will do my best, to make things right with you.
We had a good business, lots of great guys working for us over the years. We helped everybody we could to the best of our ability.
We all loved working on cars and I especially loved our customers.
 I don’t know what we will do from here, but the only reason we were in that location was that it was an affordable place to rent in Asheville, and we were able to pass that savings along to our customers, who mostly had liability insurance or paid out of pocket for repairs.

We had prepped for 4 to 6 feet of floodwaters and ended up getting 25 feet.
Maybe someone expected the floodwaters to be that high but we didn’t get any notifications until Thursday evening that an unimaginable, severe flood was coming. By that time, it was too late.

Many of the vehicles surrounding the shop that are there, are ours.
Some are flipped upside down or laying on their sides, some may have got crushed by the building collapsing. But one maybe salvageable.
I don’t know how any of this is going to play out as there is no power, water, or gasoline for the vehicles and still at this point as the last I saw the building was still 10 feet underwater.
