Auto Body Garage Collision Center

I had been here about three years ago with our other car, and worked with the owner, Steve, who really took care of us and our car. He gave us a great price and did good work. So, unfortunately, I recently had another accident, and took our SUV there. I was horrified that it took over 3 weeks to get it fixed!! Baylen blamed my insurance company, but they said he never even called them for five days! Needless to say, I was not happy to be without my car for this long. The work was good, but my hood is still not fitted properly on one side. So, all in all, the owner is good, but Baylen still has to improve. more

The owner is friendly, helpful. The work done was professional, very eager to please; very easy to do businees with. Great customer service; I am very picky and like things done right. No problem here. I noticed a few details that needed attending to; was done immediately to my satisfaction. They cleaned and polished my car and took great care of me. I trust them completely and would not hesitate to go back there again. I have never had such a good experience with a body shop. I highly recommend the Auto Body Garage in San Francisco. Pros: perfection! Professional, quick, friendly, honest, more

So about 2 weeks ago i parked my car a block away from my house and some chump dented my hood. Being that I had two holes in the middle of my hood, I decided to go on city search and search for a good repair shop. After reading review after review, I finally decided to go with autobody garage since they said they would work something out with cash paying customers on their website. I took my car there on friday and to my surprise it was done on monday. Can I Say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Their customer service was awesome, im glad i found a honest shop to take my car to. Another good thing was they explained to me about how to take care of my new paint job and were super meticulous. They even washed my car and cleaned my interior (after I left it with them super dusty)! Thanks! Pros: Great, quick, and reliable service. Excellent work! more

I had a pretty bad accident involving my front bumper and hood with some internal parts as well. These guys know how to treat their customer, trying to locate best available part and price. I was informed about all the procedures with clear explanation. I do recommend this shop for any cars. more

An accident made a dent on the rear passenger door of my 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx. I searched over the internet for a good body shop in SF area. Auto Body Garage Center caught my eyes with a 5 star customer rating. However, when I went there for estimation, I was not so impressed by the look of the facility and make me some kind of doubt about other people?s rating. After I read all the ratings, and talked to the service manager about my concerns, I decided to do my repair there. \r \r I brought my car in on Tuesday and they have already contacted the insurance company that is reliable for the accident, and got an update about the cost of the repair. The service manage also drove me to the car rental place to get a rental car. \r \r The repair lasted 4 days as promised. When I pickup my car on Friday, it was as good as before the accident. I was so happy with the work and the service. I definitely recommend this body shop. Their work earned my trust. Pros: Nice work, great service Cons: The facility could look better more

I LOVE my cars and bikes. And I am VERY, VERY meticulous about them. How meticulous? In the past, 2 body shops said to me, ""We do not have your level of quality and we cannot meet your expectation."" And one of them even offered to refund money and asked me to take my car elsewhere... Having said that, I am very impressed with the quality of work at Auto Body Garage. Color matches perfectly and the repair is virtualy not detectable. I recommend this shop to anyone, I mean ANYONE. \r \r On top of the best quality of work I have ever seen, customer service is also top notch. Steven and Chi always made themselves available and listened to what I wanted to say or ask. And they answered everything to my satisfaction. And most of them are very small things and I bet other shops won't even bother to listen. \r \r I can tell they really care what they do and are proud of what they do. They even touched up and fixed some other scratches (not the ones I initially brought my car to the shop for) on my car. They also showed me how to take care of my cars and bikes (such as waxing, polishing, touch-up, etc). Now my car looks like new again (not only me but everyone looks at may car says so) . These guys are the BEST!!! \r \r more

I rear ended a SUV in my 99 Honda Civic sedan a few weeks ago. We all know accidents can be very stressful to say the least. Ian and crew mad this ordeal a whole lot easier. I had just liability and was 100% responsible for repairing my vehicle. The passenger side headlight was completely smashed in, front right fender destroyed, the bumper was still OK and the hood was also really smashed in. The internal parts were really bent out of shape, the hood wouldn't even shut!\r \r Given my budget, I could not afford all new parts. I needed it done mickey m0use style. I went to Bryant Auto Body and received a quote in a very timely fashion, and it was VERY reasonable! About 1,180 out the door. It ended up taking 3 days and the work is VERY professional. The internal parts look like they did before the accident and my hood closes now like it should. They did a great job of re-shaping everything and banging out my hood!\r \r As a final touch, they even did a light wash on the vehicle as I put it in pretty dirty. \r \r Perfect service, excellent work, thank you SO much Ian and crew!\r \r I highly recommend Bryant Auto Body. Pros: Superb customer service, fast free quote, fast service, quality work! Cons: They didn't upgrade my engine to a viper engine! =) Joking of course, NO CONS more

My new Jetta got big dents and scratches on both doors on the right-hand side. Qi took care of my car. The service is as good as what ppl said on CitySearch. Qi negotiated with my insurance company, and I barely said a word. After the repairing job, my car looks brandy new - they even hand washed it. Before I left with my car, Qi gave me a towel with which I can clean the car without leave any minor scratches. They are honest and considerate, so I would definitely rate the bodyshop 6 stars but I can only find 5 on CitySearch :) more

I would recommend this body shop to anyone who is looking for great service, great auto body work, and great customer service. I had my car repaired at Auto Body Garage twice and both times I was treated as a customer and not just another customer, they made sure they provided the best advice and service for my car and I could honestly say each time I got my car back from the shop it was like nothing had ever happened to it, like it was new again. I would go to them again if I needed any future work on my car or I would recommend to friends about this place.\r \r They are straight forward and at the same time genuine.\r \r Scott\r \r more

i came to this garage to repare a bamper and fender damages, the service there deserves only a high rating. Chiu, (must be some kind of manager) offered me to go to his office (not too many garages have a nice and clean office) to take care of paperwork. the guy was polite, professional and down to business. my insurance company was taking care of the bill and Chui suggested me not to worry about hussling with my insurance company and said that he would talk to them to settle my charges. so .... no phone stress for me. in the end of drop off Chui gave me a ride to the rental place, so i did not have to take a cab.\r considerig the work they do, all is fine as well. the parts of my car that were worked on look like new now. the shop even took care of some other scratches on my car without charging additional money. \r during my pick up Chui inquired if all loked good and if i was sattisfied with their work. \r these guys deserve some praise and recognition.\r \r if you are looking for great service, professional staff, then this is the place to go.\r \r cheers you all\r \r more

This was the first time I had ever gotten my car repaired. I went to two other body shops and Auto Body Garage gave me a competitive price (not the cheapest and not the most expensive). I had to have my bumper replaced and my trunk re-alligned. The staff was very friendly and had several options for me. I got my car back in a timely manner and they helped me get a great deal on a rental car. The paint job was amazing, they made my car look like new again. I would recommend this place to anyone whose needing to get their car repaired and needs quality work done at a reasonable price. Pros: great customer service, parking avaliable, understood the needs of the customer Cons: Garage is located on the south of market, the rental location is not accessible by foot, owner had to give me a ride. more

I recently had a bike messenger (karma will ""door"" you, punk!) slam his bike into my car and bail, leaving me with a scratched and dented rear quarter panel. After having done extensive research and having read all the reviews about this shop, I took my car in. I am EXTREMELY meticulous about my car and am the type of person who sees another car in traffic and notices that it has been in an accident since I notice the very slight variation in the paint after the repair. This is what I feared for my car. Not to worry...the match was perfect. I cannot tell at all that this was repaired. The match and bodywork is perfect. As others have stated, Steven is very professional and proud of his work and will go the distance to make it perfect. In addition, he touched up a few extra flaws around the car. His pricing is very reasonable (I could even say inexpesive...) and he stands behind his work. With so many shops in the SOMA area, it is hard to distinguish oneself, but this guy's work and price sets him above everyone else. Pros: Timliness, perfect match more

I found this place through maps.google and went there because of the good reviews. My wife dented our car by driving slowly into the back of a truck. We don't have third-party insurance to cover the damage and the manager gave us a good estimate for the cost of fixing it(I cross-checked with a mechanic friend). He advised us that it was probably not worth fixing and referred me to someone who might purchase the damaged vehicle. more

Simply had a rear end to fix, got a quote from the VW dealer and these guys - huge difference! Turns out the parts were the same price and labor a bit cheaper but mostly they explained to me that VW was going to charge me for parts not needed - when VW insisted all the part changes were necessary. They also touched up other parts of the car for free and cleaned it really well (unlike VW). They were friendly and on time - they also pointed out a little detail they couldn't get 100% right and didn't charge me for the part and labor on that ( though i wouldn't have noticed anyway...). I relaxed under the sun in their comfy patio while my car was being cleaned... These are good guys! more

I got my car repaired back in Nov. 04. My car was delivered on time, and the affected area was matched 100% perfectly to the rest of the car. Almost two years later, it still looks great. I returned a couple of weeks ago to get an estimate on a door ding, and was directed to a 3rd party dent removal expert. Even so, the owner (Stephen) gave my car a free touch-up on several scratched areas that were unrelated to the dent. I hope I won't need body work any time soon, but if the unexpected happens, these guys will be at the top of the list. more

Here's just another review to confirm what the other 15 are saying -- 565 Bryant is a great body shop. I rear-ended this other car 10 days before I was leaving for a long vacation, and my car needed quite a lot of repairs -- bumper, hood, grill, some work on the AC system, a paint job and so on. Steven really went out of his way to have the car ready on time and the job was amazing. You really couldn't tell the car wasn't brand new. Granted, it was fairly expensive, but I really wanted my car to look as good as ever, so they used new parts and German paint to match the original. They kept me informed at all times of the status of the repair, which gave me a good feeling. The final price was 10% above the initial estimate. Pros: Excellent quality, Timely service more

I was highly impressed by the quality and the speed in which they were able to fix my car. They gave me a ride to work, finished fixing my dent a day before I expected and did an excellent job matching my paint color. All of this was done at half the price of the other estimates that I recieved. I highly recommend this The AutoBody Garage Collision Center. Pros: great price, fast service, quality work more

I still can not believe the service I received from Steve. He gave me my quote which was low, kept me up to date on my car, was easy to get a hold of, and got my car back to me in a timely manner and at a lower rate then quoted. I recommend this auto body garage to anyone who needs work done on their vehicle. more

If you want top quality body work done on your car, professionalism, and to be greated with a smile then Steven at Auto Body Garage is your man! His team does incredible work using only ""best practices"" and Steven the owner even gave me a ride home himself...now that is service....and the price was very competitive as well! i was very pleased with all aspects of my experience with them. Pros: quality, service, price more

Outstanding customer service, speed, and quality of service. I called on the weekend, and my part was delivered Monday afternoon, installed same day. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Steven is great, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended--no need to shop around at competitors. Pros: Timely, Excellent service, Flexible hours more
