    I was recently t-boned hard in an accident that ended up being over $8,000 in damages... I love my vehicle, and was definitely nervous about how it would end up after the entire right side was seriously damaged.. That said, I received my car back this week, and it looks BRAND NEW!!! It doesn't stop there though, the entire process working with Jason was nothing short of seamless. He never tried to over charge, he was informative and diligent in sharing information, and was beyond communicative in the process. Not only is this a great business, but Jason - is a fantastic business person. He knows how to put his customers first, and is always there to take the stress away from you - and solve all of your problems. I've lived in Northern California my whole life, and have worked with shops across the state. That said, this is the best experience I've had with any auto body shop! 11/10 - would definitely use 26 Auto Body again!

    So someone hit my company car yesterday and I was desperate to get it fixed so I didn't have to go through their insurance. I had sent a friend here months ago when someone hit and ran his car. I called Jason on my lunch break and asked if he could give me an estimate. He buffed it all out as well as a couple other spots for 40 bucks! I was in and out in 30 minutes! Great customer service!!! I will for sure be sending lots of people here. Right inside the car wash parking lot to the left. They do have a waiting room with tv and water. Thanks again Jason, you guys are awesome!!!!

    My first experience seeking the services of an auto body shop...and it went flawlessly. My year-old Prius C took a T-Bone hit to the passenger side after an SUV tried to beat her across to the other side of an extremely busy street in LA rush hour traffic. The passenger door wouldn't even open from the inside or outside due to the impact. I currently drive for a living, so I needed to get her back on the road as soon as possible. I researched many shops on Yelp/online for a few days following the accident and visited multiple shops around the valley to get a feel for them in person (very important to do...don't rely on "stars" and reviews alone). They were all rated 5-stars, and 26 Auto Body was the only one I felt completely comfortable trusting with my car. I know appearance isn't everything and shouldn't be the ultimate deciding factor in selecting a business for services, but it definitely doesn't hurt, and I had to mention that both the inside and outside of 26 Auto Body is spotlessly clean. From the first initial phone call I made to arrange a quote/evaluation, ultimately leading up to the amazing day when I picked her up three weeks later, Jason was spectacular, professional and kind. All quotes regarding estimates and time frame were honest. He treated me with absolute respect, gave me weekly updates about my car's progress, and answered all my questions, no matter how silly or obvious I felt they might be at times. It was my first major accident, so I had to figure it out step by step. He teamed up with my insurance company (State Farm), and the process went very smoothly. (There was another gentleman that was always with Jason on the premises, and I'm sorry I didn't catch his name, but wanted to acknowledge that he was fantastic as well. Thank you.) When I finally picked her up, she looked as if she had just been driven off the dealership lot. I was amazed with their work. There was no sign that an accident had ever happened, and the paint job was glossy and perfect. They also washed her at the adjacent Bellagio Car Wash right before they returned her to me. Sweeeeetttttt ^_^ All my gratitude and sincere appreciation for this establishment. They have a loyal patron in me. You won't be disappointed.

    Few months ago a car hit me and I had a dent on my car. I knew I wanted to have it fixed but didn't know where to go. I Yelped a few places and 26 Auto Body popped up. Read all the reviews about how great their work is. I also noticed a common thread that kept appearing in the comments which was how GREAT auto shop manager, Jason is. Customer service is extremely important to me. After speaking with Jason, I knew 26 Auto Body would get my business. Not only did they do a fantastic job on my car, they also finished the work 1 day early! I've already recommended Jason and 26 Auto Body to several of my friends. Glad to now have a honest neighborhood auto body shop to service my car when I need it!

    Needed to re-do my car paint because my paint was fading! I was searching for car shops around my area but couldn't seem to find the best price. I got referred to Jason at 26 auto body and I was very satisfied with his work. Great communication with the whole process and gave me updates on my car. Keep in mind, I had a metallic blue car and I figured it was going to be a tough task. Jason had no problem fixing the areas of the car that needed most work. And better yet, he gave me a really good price. I feel like I'm driving a new car again once I came to pick it up. I am definitely going back to Jason if I need to repair anything. He told me the car would be done in a week and a half, but finished it earlier than that. I give jason and his staff A+, he'll for sure take care of your car.

    I just picked up my car today & it looked amazing! Jason is very personal and friendly. He updated me with a call every week letting me know how my car was doing. Which was great I appreciated it. This is the place you need to take your car if you need repairs. They will leave it looking like new. I'm very happy & impressed by their work. Definitely recommend 26 autobody to everyone. If I ever need repairs again this is the place I'll come back to! Thank you so much Jason.

    Just like new!

    I'd just bought my car one month before scrapping it on a pole at my apartment! I'm from Detroit and I'm particularly about car repairs places and body shops, but I made a good choice. My car is perfect the people who worked there are awesome and so friendly. The price the quoted was the price I paid with no up sale. I'm so happy they erased my mistake and made my new car new again!

    Front bumper fixed and aligned.
    Joseph P.

    I parked at a lot while shopping when i was leaving and reversed my front bumper had got hooked on the parking bumper and as i reversed it pulled my front bumper leaving it really loose and the underguard really messed up. Yelped some body shops around and found 26 Auto body decided to go there after reading so many reviews and how happy customers were with their work. I go in on monday Jason takes a look at my car and says he can fix this problem in a few days. I was really happy with 26 Auto body and the work thet did on my car. It looks like it had never had any damage before. Plus they gave my car a car wash which was great. Saved me a trip to the car wash. Thank you Jason and the whole staff at 26 Auto Body. I will be returning IF i ever need body work done. Very honest guy and professional body shop.

    Minor alignment damage on Pontiac Vibe - corrected at 26 Auto Body. Nice job.
    Steve K.

    Had a little oops with a car that backed out of a diagonal parking lot space without looking . . . into my Rt Front at the bumper corner. Fortunately, the damage consisted of a few scratches and the plastic bumper cover being knocked out of alignment, so to speak. Young owner Jason found that there was no underlying damage, and since I didn't feel the need to fix the scratches, he asked one of the techs to put the bumper back where it belonged. The charge was minimal and there was neither pressure for the upsell nor attitude because I chose to simply have the bumper put back where it belonged. All very fortunate for the gal whose car struck mine. While there, I noticed many vehicles in various stages of repair, with the techs all seemingly doing a fine job. The shop vibe was good and positive, and I felt absolutely comfortable there. I will not hesitate to return IF the need for real body work occurs. Cool shop, Jason! All the best from this satisfied customer. Note that it has been a challenge entering the shop for several months. The car wash fronting the street is torn up for a re-do, fencing off all but a tiny sliver of an entrance to 26 Auto Body from Sepulveda. If the construction is still under way, try going around the back and entering from there. Don't give up.

    My husband and I were referred to Jason at 26 Auto Body through a friend to Matte Black my husbands Hummer. We have been wanting to do it for a long time but never had the courage or trust in any other body shop to take on this task. After meeting with Jason and seeing the body shop, we knew we found our place! He was so patient and honest from the get go. He kept us updated on the progress and assured us that we would not leave until we were 100% happy. Needless to say, we were! 26 Auto Body is the best body shop in Van Nuys, by far!!!! Just take a look at the pictures of our car and see for yourself! Thank you, thank you, Jason!!

I received excellent and professional service from a more than patient Kristina, who answered the flood of my lengthy questions in detail. While the services rendered all came out great and I never had any issues with the products for the entirety of me owning the car, it took a rather negative experience with another installer on my current car to realize how knowledgeable and professional Kristina / Impero actually is. During my negative experience with another installer, I received more support, more useful and accurate information from Impero than from the place I was having issues with at the time. In retrospect, I would've been better off had I just gone to Impero again right away with my new car, but I wanted a specific brand of tint that Impero isn't offering (for good reason, as I now know) so I went with a different installer (who even charged more). I can't recommend Impero highly enough to anyone looking to get their windows tinted, or their car wrapped, Kristina really seems to always keep up with the latest products and knows what's currently best on the market.

First of all, the price was hands-down the fairest anywhere nearby. I called multiple shops before choosing this one, and everyone else gave me outrageous quotes. JB Customs offered a price that was extremely reasonable -- honestly shockingly cheap for the quality of work. And the install? Ridiculously fast. He works with surgeon-level precision but somehow finishes everything faster than any shop I've ever dealt with. The light-up pony came out flawless -- clean wiring, perfect alignment, no gaps, no issues. It looks factory, but better. The door sills (non-illuminated) were installed perfectly as well. Straight, secure, spotless -- exactly how they should look. Not a single scratch or misalignment. On top of all that, he's friendly, honest, and clearly takes pride in his craft. No upselling, no pressure -- just real professionalism. If you want any custom work done -- cosmetic, lighting, accessories -- JB Customs is the ONLY place you should take your car. Fast, fair, flawless. This shop deserves way more recognition.
