About Joe Lawton Custom Paint

Joe Lawton Custom Paint is an auto repair shop in Gainesville, Florida. It is listed at 1206 S Main St, Gainesville, FL 32601, which places it among the local businesses of Gainesville that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

In Gainesville, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Florida vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–5:30 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Joe Lawton Custom Paint at (352) 375-7400; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Its Google rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 22 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

Gainesville is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice.

Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Florida's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Mr Joe does a great job on all of my vehicles and I've been going to him for years. And yes it can take a while to get your vehicle back, but the wait is worth it. You have to understand that he's the Only one that works on your vehicle and he has multiple vehicles to do and so it's going to take some time. I prefer that than having multiple people working on my vehicle and not doing the job right!!

Joe Lawton is a Master Craftsman at painting vehicles; he's from the "old school" of paint & body experts that have honed their skills over decades of hands-on experience. I was really, truly impressed with the quality & detail he did on my antique Toyota T100 truck.

A lot of noise, couldn’t deliver. All the work on my car short cut, overlook details, didn’t even put my emblems back on car. Said 2 weeks took 6 weeks There was definitely some extra work he didn’t expect but overall quality of job on a classic car was poor! Ok dude but not what I was expecting for 7k

Terrible. How had my car for almost a year only for me to get back with entire front suspension needing to be replaced. Paint runs throughout the front of the car that was supposed to be painted. He also took my brand new battery out and replaced it with a battery that was not strong enough to run my motor. When I addressed Joe about what he had not done, he stated I should be happy to have the car running. He said, drive it like it is until I can’t anymore. He continued to talk over me like I should be lucky for him to have done the half behind job that he did. I advised him if he wasn’t going to do it right he should not have touched it. He said oh well. Steer far away from this shop. I gave him $5500. I don’t understand why someone would just take money from someone. I would never let him touch another car of mine. Run and run fast from this shop. FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!!

Exceptional service from Joe. Fully explained the quote and got the job done in incredible time. I know exactly who to go to again and who to recommend to my friends for any auto body problems in Gainesville. I came in with paint damage because someone scraped me in a parking lot and he fixed it up perfectly (fixed the entire side instead of just the one panel!). Thank you!
