Hear it from
our customers

“We used to do two booth cycles a day. In this new setup, sitting on our hands, we’ll paint four cars a day. I fully expect that our capacity — in an instant — will be doubled. And I expect the system can do much more than that. With the correct person pulling the trigger, we should paint six cars a day.”

Thank you for the continued support of your product and our business. We appreciate that our case was not left until fully dealt with.

Daniel Trevisanutto

Half-Way Motors Group

“My equipment has paid for itself 100 times over. Being as large of a company as GFS is, once you’re working with them, it seems like they’re a much smaller company in the sense that they’re able to do stuff very quickly, very much to the point and very personalized to our needs.”

Dave Kindig

“It’s not so much about the paint booth. It’s the service you get after the booth purchase and the responsiveness and quality of the product. That’s why we chose GFS.”

Jesse Jacobson

Heppner’s Rivercity Collision Centre

“We really clean the cars in our prep work, but we couldn’t do it without the paint booth. With our previous booth, there would always be at least one speck of dirt in the paint job that would ruin the whole finish. I’m still in awe of how consistent the airflow is in the booth and how clean the cars come out of it.”

For more than a century, Michael Cuene’s family has bought, sold and repaired cars. In the latest expansion of his flagship dealership, all signs pointed to GFS being the best fit for Broadway Automotive Collision Center. And in 2022, a massive rebuild — featuring four paint booths, a dual-bay prep station and two paint mix rooms from GFS, as well as 42 service bays and a drive-thru estimating station — has Cuene feeling good about the future of his business.
