What Shop Owners and Managers are Saying…

"We were with our last jobber for over 10 years prior to switching to Leading Edge and BASF. I was looking for more out of such a critical relationship. Since switching to Leading Edge this relationship feels more like a partnership. They have helped my company in so many ways. Production in the paint department has improved and material profits have increased. They helped with the marketing of our company and sales last year increased 15%. Leading Edge is always there when you need them."

— Eric Muilenberg, Owner of
Kustom Koachworks

"Leading Edge has saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars on my paint bill by having us focus on our liquid-only paint bill at the end of the month. It's not the discount, or what a paint company gives you up front that matters. It's what it cost the shop to put it on the car. The numbers don't lie. I've known the owner of Leading Edge since the early 1980's. He understands the collision industry inside and out and his Arizona and national database of contacts is unbelievable. When I need technicians, painters or information, Leading Edge is the first call."

— Andy Val, Owner of
Raintree Autobody

"There are two kinds of businesses and business philosophies. The quick and the dying. I was hunting for cutting edge thinking and a new way of doing business. Leading Edge understands the industry, they are networked and I liked their approach to my business. Switching products was as easy and there were no surprises or hassles. They did what they said they were going to do."

— Bob Karl, Owner of
Karl's Collision

"It took a long time to get me to switch to Leading Edge. Looking back, I know now that delaying the decision only cost me money. I'm a believer now. Leading Edge understands the collision industry better than anyone and has assisted me in growing my business, increasing my market share, and improving my bottom line"

— Pete Cerqua, Owner of
A & D Auto Body

"Change is always difficult. When I was manager at Courtesy Chevrolet, Leading Edge made it easy for me. I never heard a negative comment from any of my three painters. It was a truly seamless transition. It just seems that the entire staff at Leading Edge is always on top of things. I never have to worry about paint shop productivity or quality. It's almost like the entire department is on cruise control." Video testimonial

— Leo Petruzzella, Owner
Campus Body Salon

"Its simple. Anybody who believes Leading Edge is just a paint company hasn't done their homework. Leading Edge told me they would save me between 25% to 35% on my paint bill each month compared to any other paint product. They promised the best service and support in the valley and they claimed they could help me grow my business. They delivered on all three. What they know about the industry and their relationships within the industry is surprising but its what they do with the information that makes them an incredible partner. What they've done for my business is amazing."

— Chuck Danielson, Owner
Invision Autobody

"The BASF ColorMax system was one of the reasons I switched to BASF. I'll be able to paint at least one more job per day because I am saving 15 to 30 minutes on color matches. Because Leading Edge is more involved in the industry, many other opportunities are available as my business grows."

— Hunter Roschstein, Owner of
Hunter's Paint and Body

"I've never seen a vendor like Leading Edge. To me, it seems like they are always one or two steps ahead of everyone else. A lot of other vendors talk about being your "partner", but Leading Edge comes through day after day after day with new, innovative ways to improve my business."

— Patsy Baker, Owner of
Baker's Auto Body

"Quite simply, the most innovative and responsive vendor we have. In fact, I don't consider Leading Edge a vendor at all, they're more like a group of concerned friends."

— Hollywood Leary, Owner of
Hollywood's Paint and Body

 

"I was concerned at first because there were an awful lot of promises made, and I was skeptical about their ability to do all they said they could do. To my delight, Leading Edge has done everything they said they were going to do for us. They're great!"

— Francine Alfano, Owner of
Classic Gold Auto Centre

"We started this facility with one thing in mind, to be different and better than the others. Leading Edge shared our vision and our enthusiasm. Their innovative approach to business has allowed us to continue to succeed. The day-to-day support is unlike anything I had ever seen before. We really consider them a strategic partner in our paint department."

— Bruce Dennis, Manager
Accurate Auto Body CARSTAR

"Because we repair primarily Mercedes Benz, we wanted to make certain Diamont could match the OEM appearance of the European paint we were using. After just a couple of jobs, it was evident that BASF technology is not only going to meet, but exceed the expectations of both our paint staff and, more importantly, our customers. On top of that, their service is beyond belief."

— John Jury, Manager
Phoenix Motor Company
