Advanced Body Collision

Since I’ve been there (at least) three times for work on my car and they’ve always been really good, I thought it was time I should give them a review.
My car is a 2000 Honda Insight with over 260K miles and still getting 65 mpg! They had no problems working with the aluminum body. The first time my car was damaged by a large truck changing lanes into me, Mercury Insurance sent me there. The car looked as good as new. The second time I was struck by a large barrel rolling down the freeway and again, Mercury Insurance sent me there.
This most recent time, I side swiped my own car in a parking lot against the steel bumper of an enormous heavy duty pick up (which showed no signs of damage whatsoever). They fixed it and it looks as good as new! They said it would take more than a week so I dropped it off before a long vacation and picked it up after I came back so I wouldn’t need a rental car. It was $ 650 to repair and I’m not sure if that is low or high, but for me, it was worth it. I hated seeing that enormous dent in my otherwise beautiful car!

My brother’s car was in rear ended and we took his car here to get fixed. From start to finish we were pleasantly impressed with the service. Victor made everything fast and easy with our insurance company. We were really worried about the normal headaches we get with body shops and insurance adjusters but everything went so smoothly and the car looks amazing! When we picked up my brother’s car, the car looked brand new. They even fully detailed and waxed it! Like real detail, they even cleaned under the hood like the $ 150 detail at the car wash! I hope that things don’t happen, but if they do, I finally found a body shop I can trust! I can’t thank them enough!

Took my car in to Advanced Body Collision at the recommendation of my father who had had good experiences. All the parts were ordered and available before taking it in and my car was returned to me in half the time estimated. I was more than satisfied with the results. Not only was the work high quality but Victor Lee kept me updated via email on the progress. My car was returned to me not only with the reapirs done, but it was cleaned and detailed. I would highly recommend this shop.

The lawyer that I got for my accident recommended this place. The people seemed nice and understanding and willing to cut you a deal and they had some higher end cars being worked on so I went ahead with them. BIG MISTAKE!!! They said my car would be done in about 4 weeks to fix my rear end collision. It took them 2 and a half months to finally finish. I called every week and they said that my car would be done by the weekend so I drive back there from santa barbara (up there for college). Then when I show up he never remembers who I am even though I’m there every weekend. The owner always gave me some kind of excuse and delayed it week after week. Finally when I got my car back he was in a rush to get me the car and get me out of there. I notice that my rear window doesn’t have tint, while I had all my windows tinted before I brought my car to them. I asked the guy and he said «Oh yea, we accidentally broke your window. We’ll reimburse you for the tint» I just wanted to get my car back at that point. Came home and found that there was shards of glass all over the place. Small bits of glass got into the rear seat belt locking mechanisms and I had to vacuum it out since the seat belt wouldn’t lock due to the glass inside it. Then my trunk latch wouldn’t open. Brought the car back to them and they replaced the latch and said they were sorry for the glass. A week later one of my rear speakers went on and off here and there. I looked in the trunk at the speaker and the wires on the speaker was torn off and they tried to tie it back onto the speaker. Then I find a few interior trim pieces that weren’t replaced. Went back again to have them to get me a new speaker and put the trim pieces back. Oh yea, I only get one year warranty for their work, guess they don’t cover major repairs… Too bad because my rear bumper started to fade after one year and the lower half of my bumper is now faded white. And the paint started to chip here and there all over the rear of my car. Shoddy worksmanship and shady businessmen. Go there if you have a beater and don’t care much for your car.

i chose this place based on jennifer’s recommendation. i had to get my hood repainted from some water damage. it took them a little over a week to get it done. the people were very nice, even gave me a ride home when i dropped off the car.
Overall the work was ok, when i picked up the car. it was in their garage. i checked it out and it looked good. when i took another look at home under the sun, the hood had a lot of swirly marks on it, (i don’t think it should look like that if it was freshly painted.)
but i didn’t bother making it an issue because the car is a lease and the job was at least good enough to return to the dealership. (at least i hope)

Mercury Ins. recommended me to this shop which is closest to home. I had damage to my back passenger side door from another party. N I also had a dent to my driver side door on a separate occasion (my fault). Matthew, the estimator, provided me w estimates for both damages — one reported to ins. & the other was to be out-​of-​pocket. He gave me a nice deal for my out-​of-​pocket estimate.
After about 8 business days without a car, I was anxious to see the work that was completed. Once I saw my car, I was left w my mouth open. It looked superb! They detailed the exterior & interior of my car in addition to leaving a fabulous car aroma. I was very pleased and especially happy w the customer service.
They do great professional work backed w a lifetime guarantee on their work. Highly recommended for any/​all collision needs!
