First I want to give a big thank you for this huge upgrade to my car. I 110% recommend coming here. Service was great helpful, and efficient. There was communication, which I appreciate it a lot. And everything took about one to two weeks. The service that they did was my bumper and they also fixed my trunk !! And I cannot be any more grateful! My car looks brand new. I love how everything turned out. I'm not entirely sure on pricing since this was done through my insurance. But even so the pricing for doing a paint job was not bad either. In return I am considering. I would definitely come here if you need any service needed for your car in terms of auto repair. I'm so happy with how this turned out. I did receive a guarantee after my car was done, which is great as well. The only downside which is be that it is on a main street so there really isn't any parking but I do believe there is small parking in the back or on the residential street in the back. read more

DON'T BRING YOUR CAR HERE. Very Disappointed With the Quality of Work I brought my car to this body shop for repairs and unfortunately have had to return three separate times because issues were either left unresolved or came up after the repair. After the initial repair, they left a rattle in the door panel and another rattle coming from the wheel that I could actually feel through the steering wheel. I brought the car back a second time. They fixed the door-panel rattle, but the issue with the wheel was not fixed. About a month later, the paint on the bumper they repaired started chipping off. I brought the car back for a third time to address the paint issue and the ongoing wheel rattle. They did fix the paint, but once again, the wheel rattle was not repaired. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop. The amount of time and inconvenience I've spent returning the vehicle for issues that should have been properly addressed the first time has been extremely frustrating. read more

Husband and I came upon this shop and they have extremely great customer service. They are very upfront with cost and have excellent communications skills. Through the time of repair I would receive frequent updates and pictures to see the progress. Staff here is friendly and have an amazing warranty for the paint of 3 years! That is impressive being that most shops do not give a warranty. I would 1000 times recommend this shop! read more

Here's the updated Yelp review including the repairs: --- After getting a few estimates around the Bell and Huntington Park area for my 2010 Honda Accord, they gave me the best price. I also explained that I needed my car by next week because my son is going back to college, and they made it happen! Sandra and the other gentleman (I didn't get his name) were both very friendly and explained everything in detail. After reading their Yelp reviews, I felt very comfortable bringing my car here. They repaired the front bumper, replaced the lights, and also took care of the mechanical work I needed--radiator, sensors, and everything else that had to be done. Not only did they meet my expectations--they delivered exactly what they promised. Highly recommend! --- read more

Excellent service and they did a great job with my car I really do recommend this place

My car was rear-ended and this body shop fixed it like new. Sandra is amazing and communicating, keeping me updated, and she made such a difference from my previous experiences with other body shops. If I need my car fixed again, I am coming here again because I already know I am going to get quality work and good service. read more

This shop is truly a hidden gem! My Jeep was hit on the side, leaving the passenger rear door severely damaged. Fortunately, my insurance allowed me to choose the repair shop, so I started searching Yelp for top-rated options nearby. That's when I found A & R Auto Collision, which had fantastic reviews--and I'm so glad I took a chance on them. The results exceeded my expectations tenfold! To start, finding great customer service these days is rare, but Sandra is absolutely phenomenal! She kept me updated every step of the way, and her communication was top-notch. She even took the time to respond during her lunch break, showing her commitment to outstanding service. Since my Jeep was already in the shop, I decided to have them do some side work out of pocket and repaint my trims, accents, grille, and side mirrors for a cleaner, more permanent look instead of the wrap I had before. They offered me an amazing deal and went above and beyond by replacing the emblems, detailing the Jeep, running a diagnostic, and filling up all my tires as a courtesy. This level of service is almost unheard of these days. When I picked up my Jeep, it looked brand new! I can't thank A & R Auto Collision enough for their incredible work and attention to detail. Highly recommend them to anyone in need of auto body repairs! read more

René and Sandra are fantastic! Can always count on a job well done with them. They are extremely efficient and go above and beyond for their customers. I was in a bit of a time crunch when it came to repairs but they were so willing to accommodate so I could have my car ready to go on short notice. If you're looking for collision repairs this is the place to go to. My family and I are loyal customers. I highly recommend this place! read more

Avoid this place at all cost!! They did a HORRIBLE job on my Toyota RAV4. I took my car to them because i was recommended by the owners daughter and that still didn't mean anything to him! I took my car in for mechanical problems, whenever i make turns with my vehicle it makes a loud clicking sound. Mind you this was the reason I brought my car in for. I picked up my car and in a few days it had the same problem. I was not able to take my car then and there because my dad got extremely sick and i was stuck in the ICU for months, mind you the warranty paper he gave me said mechanical problems are covered for 1 year. I took it back a few months after, and after his inspection he calls me to let me know that his job was done well but the mechanic who fixed my car can fix it the problem i just have to pay them. Now why would i pay for something that my insurance already paid him for?!?!?! I honestly was so mad I told him to give me my car keys and left. With everything going on, dealing with him was the less of my worries at the time! AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID. He not only scams your insurance but he will also scam you, the customer! Any damage that is mechanical I would honestly look for another collision center, because he doesn't even do any mechanical work himself. 9/25 Rene please don't act like you were doing me a favor when you got paid to do your job! Now you want to say that you barely made any profit? Is this before or after you TOLD me to lie to my insurance and say my car got towed so they can reimburse you for that? Or what about the time you falsified a $2,000+ receipt and told me to give it to my insurance, and then told me once they paid me to give you the check?? You're a dishonest person who is only looking out after themselves, and now that people are telling you, you want to feel a type of way. When i took you my car I told you that the clicking sound it makes was my main concern and that's why I was taking it to you along with the damage to my door that was caused by the same accident. Yes I had prior accidents, which no one told you to get involved in hence why I didn't provide you those claim # accidents. Of course i told you didn't have money for the repairs because why would i pay out of pocket for issues that were caused during an accident, when i have FULL COVERAGE. But since you wanted to bring up prior accidents, lets me mention how you "fixed" my car door, yet when you gave me my car back I lost all control to move windows up/down & move my side mirrors. And when i brought it up to you, you said I have to pay you or someone to fix the wiring of my door. Everything you supposedly fixed in my car wasn't even fixed!!! You're such a joke as a mechanic or repair person. read more

A & R Auto Collision - Didn't even have my car for 1 week before it started causing me problems!!!! - Body Shops Near Me - South Gate, California

Had to search for a place to do some repairs on my Lexus, and this place had a lot of great reviews. From the moment I started working with them they were amazing. Sandra is really great at communicating the steps along the way from start to finish. The owner Rene and his team were also really great at getting everything done in a timely manner. Luckily I work from home so did not need my car back immediately but they still delivered it back in a timely manner. Replaced my back bumper and the paint looked amazing. I also was not quite happy with the color of my rims and they told me to bring it back as soon as possible and they fixed it in a day with no issues. Really great work, no complaints. read more

We were in an accident and the driver side of our Tesla got dented and misaligned. The wheel got messed up as well. Sandra was amazing in taking care of us, explained the whole process, worked with our insurance and gave me constant updates on the work. This is the second time we've brought a car to them. They do amazing work. I was slightly concerned at first because they aren't Tesla certified, but trust me they should be! Great job!!! Car looks brand new and they washed it inside and out, no complaints read more

I brought my car to this shop 3 times already! Each time for different accidents, unfortunately. Every single time, they have been courteous and helpful with the whole process. They are always very transparent and honest with everything they do. They do a great job, and they guarantee it. Rene and his father are very thorough and make sure everything is in perfect condition before they return your vehicle. They are a family owned business, and you can see they value their customers and take pride in their work. I recommend this place to anyone. There are many places that will scam you, but this is not one of them. They are the real deal read more

I have been brining my cars here for years. Rene and his Father have done a great job always repairing my cars and leaving them as if nothing happened. Their customer service and attention to detail is what keeps me coming back. They handle everything without hassle. For this job I was told by other shops there would be a 3-6 month wait time, but Rene was able to get this job done in 3 weeks. I cannot thank them enough! Thank you Rene and your A&R team for taking good care of my car!!! read more

Great service! Brought my car here after getting rear ended. In less than 2 weeks my car was fixed. They kept me updated with every step! After they fixed my car, they washed it!

A & R Auto Collision - I don't have a before pic but this is the after of getting my back bumper fixed! - Body Shops Near Me - South Gate, California

You guys fixed my 2024 acura zdx and it looks awesome plus the detailing you guys did incredible muchas gracias i highly recommend.

We're all on Yelp for the same obvious reason... We want the very best that we can get for whatever we need. For auto body? This is it. For sure, in this area, there's a lot of auto body shops to choose from. However, as I went through pages of the highly rated ones, I was drawn to A&R because of the emphasis on great communication between the business and client, in addition to the service. I'm sure all the other body shops can do a decent job on fixing up your car, but A&R seriously takes it to a whole 'notha level! Rene, the business owner, does an incredible job of making sure that you and your car are taken care of, while keeping you in the loop about any status updates whenever you need. Even when there were difficulties with insurance, Rene took care of all of that, making the previously stressful situation so breezy. Rene and his team truly did AMAZING in the repair of my car, as they truly went above and beyond to make sure I got the very best for my car (like advocating on my behalf for an OEM bumper even though the party at fault wrote up my estimate for an aftermarket part!!) In addition, the paint job comes with a 3 year warranty! And the icing on the cake? They washed my car and cleaned the interior so well that my jaw legit dropped when I first saw it... My pictures do not do it justice!! TLDR; I seriously cannot say enough positive things about this business, so do yourself a huge favor and make A&R your first and only stop! read more

A&R Auto Collision is the best body shop I've visited so far. The service they offered is very professional and responsible. They always want to deliver the best value to the customer and the price they offer is more than worthy. The owner and his son Rene are very nice people. Respond to the texts and phone calls very quickly. You can always check the progress with them. Overall, very good experience here. read more

Horrible service. Stay away at all costs. Car was in there for 3 weeks. When I got it back headlight wasn't aligned right , hood was also off. Was told I had to make another appointment so they can fix those issues that should've been resolved when I picked up the car. Update: this is the correct body shop. You worked on my fathers car. Funny how you're quick to respond when you get a bad review but when it's time to fix a car that wasn't fixed properly you drag your feet. read more

First of all I would give this place more stars if I could. Rene and his father were very responsive and accommodating since the beginning. I called in and the same day they asked me to take my car in. They were straight forward without any bs. They helped me out and explained the process. They took care of everything with my insurance. In less then two weeks I had my car and it looked like new. Even after picking my car up they were very attentive to my concerns and questions. They made it a very easy process. I didn't have to call in and check up they just did their job quickly. They handed me my car clean and waxed like nothing had happened to it. I recommend this place and their crew 100% and I will definitely come back when I need any future work done on my car. read more

My car was involved in a hit and run. I found A & R on yelp and decided on them to do the repairs on my vehicle. They handled everything such as the quote, the rental car referral and the insurance paperwork. They turned a stressful situation into an its okay do not worry situation for me. This was the very first time that I have ever been involved in an accident so they were very informative about how the process works. I really appreciate the work, the professionalism and the compassion that was given. My car looks good as new! They also polish and wash your vehicle when it is time for you to pick up! I am very pleased with how everything turned out. If you are looking for a collision shop/repair shop for your vehicle please do not hesitate, A & R will take care very good care of you. read more

Amazing work! I was stressed from the very beginning of the accident because it's really hard to find good auto collision shops you can trust with your vehicle. After finding him thanks to his great reviews and work, I wasn't disappointed with the results did an amazing job and color matched the panel with the rest of the car! My car looks newer and better than when I left it!! so happy and id recommend this shop to all my loved ones and close friends! Did it all within a week too! read more

If you find yourself in the need of a auto collision provider, do not hesitate to contact A & R Auto Collision. After my 2018 Toyota Tacoma got hit in back I had to go through the stages of grief, and once I hit the "acceptance" had to call my insurance company (All State) and deal with it. This was my first time having to file for a claim and get a vehicle repaired. The process can be overwhelming, the insurance company referred me to one of their trusted auto body repair shops, but the reviews were pretty bad. In California you are allowed to take it to an auto collision repair shop of your choice. So ended up doing my own research, little did I realize how many auto body shops are around. A & R stood out because of the previous yelp reviews, this place just has there stuff together. Rene helps make a painful process as easy as possible. Scheduled a time to meet, he was able to give me a breakdown of the process, and repairs needed. Once I gave him my claim number, I did not have to deal with the insurance appraiser/adjuster anymore, he took care of it all. The turn around time was quick considering the amount of small details needed to restore the truck. He kept me in the loop from beginning to end. The truck came back like nothing had happened to it. You could never tell it had been hit. It was pretty awesome! The A & R team are masters of their craft, and you can tell they take great care in the work they perform. When I picked up the truck, it was explained what was fixed, showed me the old parts that were replaced. Just give you a feeling of confidence and that the job was done right. If you are reading this, being in a car accident sucks and is annoying, but living in So Cal I guess it is just a matter of time. It is always good to have a great resource like A & R. Just get it done right the first time. read more

First time ever being involved in a car accident. I was having trouble getting answers and help from my insurance. I decided to hit up A & R and they helped me with the process of getting my car fixed and dealing with my insurance. Rene was very professional and well knowledgeable. Great customer service and great communication with the customers. Rene and the entire staff where friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend the shop to friends and family. Not only was the customer service but the end result was better. Car looks brand new again and they made sure the car was perfect ( detailed clean, checked tire pressure) before they handed me the keys. There's a reason why the shop has such high ratings and glad I was able to do business with a local shop. read more

A & R Auto Collision are the to go shop I go to whenever I have any type of collision body repair incidents. The shop is always clean, and they are highly professional with the work they do. I have been a customer since 2014 and I truly have to say... they have never let me down! The quality of their work is pristine, and they are always willing to go above and beyond for the customer. I recently had someone hit the front end of my vehicle, but they worked their magic and it is fixed 100% as if it was never there. In addition, they also helped me get to and back from the car rental location...which is something that most shops do not help you with, but not them. I highly recommend this shop for all your collision repair needs and paint quotes. They have worked on 3 of my cars in the past and I honestly will not go anywhere else. read more

The pictures will explain itself BUT don't do enough justice. Let me just start off by saying Rene and his team did an amazing job!! I am very satisfied with their work and the customer service is A1. When I was first looking for a body shop to help me out, they all were giving me the run arounds because the car is a year 2022 and they just didn't want to deal with that because their "system wasn't updated for that specific year" and the car is "not repairable". Well of course this was no problem for Rene, he called me and assured me that "the car is in fact repairable". After looking at pictures of his work, I knew I was in good hands. Rene told me the car should be done in about 2 weeks, no later than that but no these people just get better and better, I got the car back in a week!! They even washed it for me and EVERYTHING! Definitely recommending this place to my family and friends. You guys should NOT hesitate to come here. Thanks so much A&R!! read more
