While driving around Vinewood, I began to have some engine trouble, so it was time to find a shop. Luckily for me, I stumbled upon Auto Exotic at the top of the directory, located just around the corner at Spanish Ave & Elgin Ave. When I pulled in, I was met with eager mechanics ready to get me back on the road. While the mechanics were working on my car, I wanted to learn more about this bright blue auto shop. So, I reached out to Auto Exotic Owner Rebecca Damino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interview with Auto Exotic\u2019s Owner Rebecca Damino<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When did your shop first open?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI took ownership of Auto Exotic in <\/em>January 2022.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your shop specialize in anything? If so, what?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe specialize in custom paint jobs, performance upgrades and modifications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes your shop unique?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>Willingness to do it all, we will drop what we are doing even if we are clocking out to help the customer. We strive to provide a friendly environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca also said they have a \u201cPaint God\u201d that works at their shop who is able to create some pretty incredible combinations of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should people choose you over the other auto shops in the area?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want <\/em>people to go somewhere you really vibe with their mechanic, whatever shop works for you.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could describe your shop in one word, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>Excellence\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your shop was an animal, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDragon\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, I stood outside and talked to a few customers about their experience and why they chose Auto Exotic that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI typically come to Auto Exotic with my vehicle because I have had bad experiences with other auto shops in the past. Also, Auto Exotic is more centralized to where I live and work, making it easy for me to get to.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI came to Auto Exotic because I was just at another shop, and they were goofing off while I waited, no one came and talked to me. I waited there for a few minutes, so I came to Auto Exotic and saw that the mechanic here was ready to work. Every time I come to Auto Exotic, it’s top-notch service.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my experience at this shop, everyone was friendly and willing to help, even when I took forever to decide on a paint color for my car. Once, I was in a jam and needed a quick fix, the mechanic (who was about to clock off) told me to hang tight, and stuck around to help me out. Talk about top-tier customer service, this shop is not one to miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
