I had my bumper replaced here after a rear-end collision, and within a short time the paint started chipping and peeling off in multiple spots. I took it to another reputable body shop, who immediately pointed out that the bumper was not prepped properly. The surface hadn't been sanded or treated with adhesion promoter before painting. When I brought this up to Mathew, he refused to take responsibility and wouldn't stand behind his work. Any professional shop knows that proper prep is the most basic step in refinishing a replacement bumper, so this was disappointing to hear. Now I'm left with a bumper that needs to be completely redone, at my expense, because of poor workmanship and a lack of accountability. I would strongly recommend taking your car elsewhere if you want the job done correctly and backed by a shop that honors its work. read more

A Quality Autobody - Body Shops Near Me - Goleta, California

(Now, "Action Autobody") Rene has the Right Stuff. He's treated my beloved 2001 Honda Odyssey with respect and great skill. The passenger side door was crunched by a Pool cleaner's truck so badly that my insurance wanted to total it. No way! Rene got a replacement door in 2 days, installed and _perfectly matched_ the (aged) 3-stage metallic silver color. A few years before, we had a bad interior roof leak. Rene diagnosed that the front window gasket was leaking. Unfortunately, it had rusted the front of roof so badly it needed to be rebuilt. Aiiieee ya! With that curvature in two directions and the lip for glass it should have been impossible. Not for Rene's team! Their prices are quite reasonable. Rene and his team are fast and darned good.

Great local bodyshop. Super friendly husband and wife owners with reasonable prices. They made my banged up car look new again in no time. Go local or go home! read more

I was super pleased with the autobody work done on my 2005 Toyota Camry. I had smashed rear hit and run damage. I also had unsightly clear coat peeling on my car and he gave me such a reasonable estimate on that so I decided to have that done also. The repair and paint job turned out beautiful. They even got all the dings and dents out of years of driving my car, painted the hub caps, and suggested replacing the headlamps which I'm glad I did. The car looks new! I could tell Rene the owner really cares about his customers and the quality of work. read more

I had a great experience with Matthew at A Quality Autobody. Junior from Santa Barbara Tire & Service recommended this shop after I had gotten into an accident. I was able to have them process the payment through insurance very easily and they were so quick to get everything set up. Before I knew it, he made my rental reservation set up and had already coordinated everything with Enterprise. They replaced my bumper and it was good as new! They even washed the car and buffed out a headlight for me that was getting foggy. Overall, I would definitely recommend this shop for anyone whom needs any work done. read more

A Quality Autobody - Finished product - bumper replaced - Body Shops Near Me - Goleta, California

AQuality (now Action Autobody) is a great shop. The owner, Rene, has recently taken over the shop again, after a brief hiatus, and he has 40+ years experience in the business. My husband had his Honda Insight repaired at AQuality, and so I already had a good recommendation. I brought my Prius in for a door repair, after getting 6 estimates in Goleta, and Rene's was the cheapest, so I decided I could also afford some repairs on my bumpers. (Those low Prius bumpers do not love curbs). When I picked up my car today, I thought I had a new car! Rene did an excellent job with some repairs, some new parts (no putty), a great paint job, and my car was sparkling. Really, if you have some need for body work, you will be very happy at Action Autobody, just off Fairview. Excellent work at a fair price. read more

Rene and his team are AMAZING! The first time I came here they put my car license plates on for free. Then I had to get my side door repaired when somebody hit me in a medical parking lot. I immediately came here and the crew took care of my car AND the estimate was so cheap! I was shocked how well they took care of me and my car at such a low price. They even dropped me off home when my car was in the shop. I'm forever grateful to this business! I would HIGHLY recommend this place read more

Very rare to find a company that provides great service, great quality and great pricing - but A Quality Autobody does just that! We took our 20 year old mini van into them to see if they could help with the paint and clear coat peeling on the hood and roof. They did an amazing job and even repainted the luggage racks black to match the other trim, pictures below. It looks like a new van again!! Right after that, our Nissan Leaf was in a minor parking lot scuffle. They replaced and repainted the whole back bumper and it looks good as new. They are a great crew and really care about their customers and the quality of work. I will ONLY go to them for all future autobody needs! read more

We had a dent in our bumper. These guys did the work quickly and for far less than the other body shops I looked at.

I was directed by a source I respect to go see A Quality to help me restore and preserve my truck. They gave me a full body paint job, and a spray on bedliner at a great price. They also did a bunch of other stuff, and all of it turned out far better than I could have imagined. The work is top notch. I can't find a mistake anywhere. Matt and his crew take great pride in their work. I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more

The service I received was outstanding. Matt was professional, courteous, efficient and my car was repaired and ready for pick up earlier than promised. I highly recommend A Quality Autobody read more

Worst service to have as a body shop. I took my car to Rene as I had a bad rear end collision. It took him 5 weeks, and had to go back 4 times to get my trunk repaired properly. When he finally ordered the right parts, and found someone who knew how to do the job, it finally got done. He and his wife went off on me abusively today. I am wearing a left wrist brace and he yelled at me I shouldn't have used the broken trunk. When I told him I had to go out of town to help a sick friend and had limited space, he said it was my fault for using his faulty work on my trunk and that I caused my own injuries. I told him I was slammed in the head 5 times, bruised all over my arms, and he said it was my fault. He blamed me for his shotty work. The trunk would slam down, and we had to use a 2 x 4 to prop the trunk open. I asked him over and over to let the Honda dealership to fix it right. He refused. His excuses were his back injury, his lack of staffing, his need to get other cars out before mine. Instead of saying he is sorry for my inconvenience, he and his wife went off on me today and he complained of having to pay someone to fix it for $300. Why is that my problem or my fault? Do yourself a favor and go somewhere professional, and get it done right the first time. He even blamed me for having to pay someone to fix it right when he has already been paid by insurance. He refused to give me the local agents phone number. Will never use this business again and I suggest you don't either. read more

I crashed my car for the first time, and I didn't know the intricacies of dealing with my insurance company. Rene, the shop owner, helped me understand things, and was incredibly helpful in handling insurance issues. The job itself was great; my car ended up like new. read more

Matt was solid. Like many reviews here, they got me a cheaper quote and had it done really fast. Cant even tell where the scratches were anymore, and they matched my paint (which is pearled) perfectly. 100% recommend. read more

The owner Rene is incredible at delivering first class work and finishing the job when promised. I had repairs done to the back bumper and painted the hood. All were excellently done. My car was sparkly clean when I picked it up. I highly recommend Aquality Auto Body & Paint. Rene makes sure you are satisfied with the job done. read more

Excellent work and communication. They re-painted the trunk of my car. I am very happy with the craftsmanship as well as the price. Friendly service. I recommend them very highly. AAAAA++++++ read more

I had scratched the driver's side of my car and visited five shops before stumbling across A Quality. They had given me the best estimate. Mat also offered to order me an uber back home as well as a delivery. I would highly recommend going to this shop! Mat was very friendly and he was able to answer any questions I had. They did such a great job and I can't thank them enough!! read more

The roof paint on my trusty 2008 Honda Pilot was peeling off, making it look like a junker. Matt quoted an excellent price for lifetime guaranteed paint. His team matched my paint color perfectly and the job is flawless. Matt was able to get me in quickly and completed the job ahead of schedule. My Pilot looks awesome! Thanks so much to Matt and his great team. read more

Legit shop resonable price matt was great help all and all great service thanks

Excellent body work and did not wait long for work to be completed. Highly recommend A Quality Autobody.

Rene is the man. If you have a car (especially one you care about), bring it to him. The cost is fair, the work is fantastic, and the turnaround it quick. I have a Lotus Elise that needed some fiberglass restoration. Rene did the restoration, found a perfect paint match, and the car looks incredible. Now one year later I received a larger rock chip on the same bit of the car that had been restored, so obviously I took it to Rene. He told me today it was covered by warranty and it wont cost me a thing! He should be your go-to guy. 6 stars. read more

From the moment I took my car there to the moment I got it back, I knew I would be getting an excellent job done at the right price without worry of being taken for a ride. I went to other shops before hand to of course price shop, and everyone was quoting me outrageous amounts for some body work and paint. Half the people even refused to touch the car unless they could put it through insurance. Rene on the other hand, knew exactly what I wanted out of the work and what my approx budget for the job was. He realigned the hood and did an excellent job painting the car. He brought life back into it making it look like new all the while working within my budget and providing candid advice of what he would do if it was his own car. The shop is very personable and easy to get along with. They all take pride in their work and genuinely look happy to be working there doing something they obviously love. And boy does it show in their work. There is close attention to detail and give plenty of updates keeping me both informed and happy with seeing the progress. Overall, I would take my car back here in a heart beat, but then again; I don't think I'll have to! But if I do, it won't be because of the workmanship. read more

I called A Quality Auto Body & Paint to get an estimate and some advice about selling a car that needed some repainting. Rene--the shop owner--invited me to the shop and not only gave his honest opinion, but provided me with such valuable advice that only an industry professional can offer. He's an honest man and sincerely looks to help people with his expertise, business, and quality. Highly recommend. read more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. They failed to do the job and I had to repossess the car after 12 months. Cost me nearly $10k and the owner (Mathew Vara) has apparently skipped town. Apparently the prior owner, Rene Ascarraunz, has resumed ownership. Doing business with this shop is a REALLY bad idea! read more

Great service, professional work at a competitive price.

Very speedy service and great communication!!! Such a friendly staff and great work. They checked in many times to make sure I approved all work being done. Recommended to all my friends read more

Got a recommendation to go see Matt at A Quality Autobody for some work on one of my cars, and I couldn't be happier that I did. Matt and A Quality are hands down the best body shop in Santa Barbara. He treats all of his clients as family and goes out of his way to make sure you get the best service possible. As long as I'm in Santa Barbara I'll be bringing my business to Matt and whoever else he recommends to get the job done. read more

Thanks for a prompt and professional job painting to match and installing a replacement side view mirror!

Rene is a gem and helped me so much after my landlord hit my car. I can't say enough good things. Great customer service. Reasonable prices.

They helped me with my insurance frustration and were able to fix my total loss car for less than the insurance gave me for it! Very helpful, down to business shop. They were also super helpful even when I didn't know what to do in the process! I highly recommend A Quality! read more

Matt was super nice and did a great job on my Toyota Corolla 2016 bumper. The service is great and the price is just right. He even gave me a student discount :) read more

My car would have been totaled if it weren't for this great team of mechanics. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I felt like they really wanted to work with me. Their pricing is fair and their work is solid. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking to get work done on their car. I know where I will be going should I need a mechanic in the future. Thank you! read more

The guys at A Quality do a phenomenal job with each car they handle. I had a newer vehicle (2003) that was involved in a front end collision that they were able to restore to a like-new condition. I received more compliments on how good the car looked after the accident and repair than before. I stopped in to see the work in progress too and simply put; they do the job right. They even touched up an area that was in need of repair at NO EXTRA COST just to help me out. Customer service is great. René made sure to communicate with me throughout the process and set clear/fair prices. I shopped around a lot before I came to these guys and I'm glad I did. read more

Thanks to other Yelpers I am extremely pleased to find A Quality Auto Body Body & Paint. The finish on the front of my newer vehicle was pitted with dozens of pebble chips. It's a fancy finish in that it has sparkly mica chip embedded in the paint. Rather than paint the entire car Ichung, Rene and team were able to seamlessly feather the new finish to match the untouched surfaces. The entire car looks as if just came out of the showroom. If my experience is not enough of an endorsement, when I picked up my vehicle Rene and Ichung had two, very high-end, antique cars in the shop for total make overs. read more

Great work and paint job done to my honda accord. I was referred to this shop by Robert over at Dimauros because this place is very affordable. I was happy with the quality of service and work! Will send everyone I know over to A Quality. Tip: pay with cash or personal check to avoid the CC charge. read more
