About Us
Eric's Custom Finishes is a family owned business located in Pearland, TX, fifteen minutes south of downtown Houston. Starting out in 1994 as a way to make extra money painting race/custom cars, it's grown into a well respected repair shop. Our attention to detail, and ability to do precision work on hot rods, custom, and exotic vehicles has given this shop a very good reputation in the Houston area. ECF works on all makes and models, specializing in quality repairs for light to moderate collision damage. This shop is equipped to do any non-structural, and most structural repairs. However, we do not repair "hard hit" vehicles that may have excessive structural frame damage. ECF doesn't do repairs that may exceed the retail value of a vehicle (total loss rebuilds). This is a small shop that takes the time necessary to do a quality repair. At times we can fill up with work, and the availability to work on vehicles can be limited. Please call us first before making plans to drop off a vehicle. ECF is well equipped with modern, and up to date equipment. This shop has a certified modern paint mixing system, and monthly updated software. A mixing system like this gives us the ability to mix all colors for all makes and models. We also have a clean, dry air supply system, and properly filtered EPA compliant cross draft paint booth. Audatex estimating software is used in this facility, and the software is updated monthly to assure our customers fair, and accurate estimates. Most insurance companies use the same estimating software. |

Custom Work
As you will see by looking at the photo galleries on this website, we are capable of doing: flames, stripes, wood grain, and other cool things for your car, truck, or motorcycle. Custom work from this shop has won many awards at different shows, and has been featured in nationally published magazines. In the beginning years custom work was our main thing, and what made ECF what it is today. However, today's economy, and the demand for quality collision repair in this area continues to move us in the repair only direction even more.
At this time, because the amount of repair work we are doing, We are no longer taking in complete paint jobs! Vehicles must already have a compatible basecoat/ clearcoat finish, in new or nice condition to have graphics done. All custom work is done on a pay by the hour basis. Although we still offer this service, the majority of work we take in is now collision repair. Availability for painted auto graphics is now limited, and by appointment only. Custom paint and body work starts at $50 per hour plus materials. Fabrication and machine work varies in price. We can give you a ball park price based on experience and our own judgement. There is no set price for any certain custom job, and every one of them is different.
Collision Repair
This shop works weekly with insurance companies on collision repair claims for ALL makes and models. This shop holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. When your Insurance Company tries to send you to one of their "Pro shops", you should check them out first, it may shock you what you find out. It is your choice where you have repairs done, insurance companies cannot legally tell you to go to one of their shops. Collision repair work is guaranteed at this shop.
Insurance rates in this area are set at $44 per hour labor, $30 paint supplies, $50 frame, and $85 mechanical. The rates, repair procedures, and types of parts used are controlled by the insurance industry. Rates for custom and exotic cars vary. ECF won't charge more unless something special is requested or needed by the customer. If you are very particular about your car like myself and most of our customers, please understand that we can go above, and beyond what insurance companies pay for. Operations like color matching, cutting and buffing clear coat, and many other procedures are not covered by most insurance policies. These procedures will require extra time, and cost. Each insurance company has different polices for repairs, paint, and parts. However, we will keep you informed every step of the way.
Eric's Custom Finishes is not part of any insurance Direct Reference Program (DRP). This allows us to negotiate with insurance companies for more time to do a better repair, or better choices for parts. For example, there have been instances where a job couldn't be done properly for what an insurance company was willing to pay. We can ask for more time and money for the job, but a DRP shop has to do it for what the insurance company is willing to pay. If we cannot reach an agreement with an insurance company , the customer has the choice to pay additional for a quality repair, or try their luck at one of the insurance's DRP shops. Remember, insurance referral shops work for the insurance companies better interests. We work with the customer! In our shop the customer will be informed ahead of time if there are any problems.
Hope to see you soon! Thank you for visiting our website!!
