Dear Robert and the amazing Fruitvale Collision team,…read more Thank you for the outstanding paint job you recently completed on my friend's SUV. Because the car is parked outside near the beach, the body needed significant repair. Referring a business can be risky, but I will continue to recommend your shop without hesitation. The service was truly five-star from start to finish. Your team is professional, hardworking, and trustworthy. The quality of the work is exceptional, and the car looks fantastic. Having visited your shop before, I am consistently impressed and always leave completely satisfied.

Fix-Auto was on my insurance company's list of approved providers, so I took it to them. Ricardo and the whole Team were professional, communicative, kind, and fair. The work needed was more expensive than I thought it would be, but that's just how things are in our overpriced, corporate-run country. The guys did everything they could to make sure ALL the possible damage was covered by my insurance and really went the extra mile. Just this past week, my wife had a very minor incident in a parking lot that popped the front bumper assembly out and caused a very small scuff, and I asked her to take it back to the guys at Fix. Yes, the damage was very minor, but they popped things back in and added some extra backup support and didn't even charge us for it. Thanks, Fix Auto, for your fair and conscientious customer support. You will have my business in the future!

There were many moving parts to getting what was needed but also going toe to toe with the insurance company to get the funds needed to complete the full front right side repairs. It was a quick turnaround once everything was approved from the insurance. I honestly am truly so pleased with how much Ricky communicated with me and helped facilitate the repairs. Arthur and Ricky did tons of research too on the value of my car due to the classic elements which helped get the insurance to cover the full cost of parts and repairs!!! Everyone at Fix was also very friendly and helpful from the first moment I stepped into the place, with every phone call, and to the final pickup. PHENOMENAL PLACE!!!

This week my husband came in the shop for the exact same repair, and was quoted ~600. Interesting. When he came to pick it up after the repair, he walked in on the office woman talking to the male owner about how they overcharged me the first time. The repair was good both times, but don't waste your money here. I won't get that extra ~200 back, but the mental image of the lady jumping out of her skin with fright as my husband caught her admitting to the overcharge is priceless. Warms my heart lol.

I used Yelp for a few businesses on repair estimates for my dented front bumper cover on my Rav4…read more Did you know that the car's frame is mostly steel or aluminum to protect drivers and passengers, sensors, electronics, etc. but in most cases the outside cover is bendable plastic for aerodynamic reasons? The bad news is that plastic deforms too much from a collision, you can't just massage it back to shape with a hair dryer. Also, who knows if anything else on the car behind the plastic is damaged or out of alignment. California Collision came to the rescue and was able to replace my bumper cover, have it painted, and then recalibration done for the various car sensors to eliminate fault codes. Even minor collisions can cause sensors to be faulty, so don't assume it's a cosmetic thing and try to cut corners and get your vehicle repaired properly. The job took a few hours one day to paint match, then a separate full day to install, recalibrate, and test drive the vehicle to ensure bo more fault codes. George was extremely friendly and transparent with the repair process. He even gave me a tour of his shop and explained the workflow. Its a family business as his son and daughter also work here. He obviously values work-life balance and is closed Friday-Sunday. Body Shops are not cheap but if you need a thorough repair and want things done right, I highly recommend California Collision. If paying out of pocket, use a debit card with a high spend limit to avoid credit card fees.

He also did an excellent job reconstructing my vehicle within the constraints of the insurance coverage. I got my adventure wagon back in good-as-new condition.

They told me the proper fix was a new bumper, which I'm sure is true, but when I explained that my current budget was more in the "please make this stop hanging off the car" range, they worked with me. They were clear that reattaching damaged plastic isn't the same as magically making it new again, but they didn't push me into spending more than I wanted to. They also gave me the usual list of other things my aging Civic could use, but it felt much more like a doctor saying "keep an eye on this" than a mechanic saying "your car will explode by Thursday unless you give me your credit card." That makes me much more likely to actually come back and have those things addressed later. Then I picked up the car and discovered they had CLEANED IT. Not a courtesy wipe-down. My car was gross. They vacuumed it, cleaned the carpets, got grime off the steering wheel, washed the exterior, and somehow made it smell like a vehicle owned by a responsible adult. Bumper looks great, car is cleaner than it has been in a very long time, everyone was friendly, and I left feeling like I got a great deal. Five stars. Would accidentally damage car near them again.
