I can not thank Shane and his guys enough for making my car look brand new again. He went above and beyond. Insurance was thinking about totaling it over something so small, which was fixable and shane knew it. He fought with with them on multiple occasions to get the final approval to fix it. Shane was also patient with me, as I was probably not the easiest to work with after being notified by Insurance that they were thinking of totaling it. I 100% recommend Auto Body Express if you need body work done. read more

Auto Body Express - Custom Chopper winner! - Body Shops Near Me - San Leandro, California

Went in to get my car paint repaired. Shane was very transparent and easy to talk to. He gave me different options for my situation which I appreciated. After making my decision, Shane started the repair and was finished within 3 days. He made the entire drop off, pick up, and paying process so simple and easy, which I thought would be more complicated especially when dealing with insurance claims. I highly recommend this company because they're easy to work with, have great value, they're efficient, and transparent. I am planning to go back for another paint job in the near future read more

I was rear ended at a complete stop. My Honda Accord had suspension, and body damage. Shane was at my home the next day to inspect my vehicle and even arranged to tow my car to his shop - that's customer service! Shane and his crew did an amazing job (I'm very picky too). Shane kept me well informed throughout the process and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was correct. Highly recommended this shop! read more

I was referred to Auto Body Express by a family member who highly recommended them and they did not disappoint. I had a mishap and my BMW needed some body work covered by my insurance. I have been to a few body shops over the years and even went to the shops recommended by my insurance company and I have to tell you the experience left much to be desired, but Auto Body Express left me in awe at the work they did. The work they did was impeccable. I couldn't tell anything had even happened to my car. I also had them do some work separately from the insurance and the cost was reasonable. Overall I am super happy with the results and these folks are top notch professionals. I highly recommend them you won't be disappointed. read more

I had such a great experience at Auto Body Express and highly recommend this place!! Very professional and super knowledgeable staff. This is a genuine business that actually cares about their customers. I dread going to mechanics / car shops but this place really made you feel comfortable and at home. Shane was great at listening to my needs and keeping prices affordable especially since I wasn't going through insurance. I got a few quotes at other body shops that were in the thousands more than my car is worth!! Other places quoted me 15 hours of labor, and basically replacing my entire front of the car. Along with a paint job which I didn't even ask for. I drive my car a tons and it's very old that when I dented my front bumper it was hanging off and needed fixing ASAP (see before and after pictures). Auto Body Express knew exactly what to do... they heated the bumper then popped it out and attached the bumper back to the car. I don't care about the aesthetics of my car since it's very beat up already. It was so nice going to a local business that didn't try to overcharge you or make you order parts to make your car functional again. No parts were replaced and the job got done in less than an hour. Thank you so much for all your help Shane and team!! :) read more

Professional, friendly, and efficient! I've been coming to them for the past 10 years. From a custom paint job to a moderate collision years later, I recommend Shane and his team to anyone. They were communicative on the process, pricing, and updates as they happened. My brand new minivan had pretty big damage along the entire side, and after Auto Body Express fixed it up, my friends and family said it looked good as new. read more

I had a little fender bender a while back and needed a reliable auto body team who could get the job and not give me the run around. A friend recommended me to give Shane a shot and boy Im glad I did. Shane and his crew which consisted of Frank & David(probably others but this is who I dealt with) communicated with me on when to bring my vehicle, the status and when to expect it back. Highly recommend these guys read more

Shane and his staff have repaired mine and several friends and clients vehicles to a Higher Standard of Detail not expected by Me. You couldn't tell the Collision occurred so Thanks again to Shane. read more

Return customer - Shane and his team did a great job in repair my Toyota camera. The Auto Body Express team is professional and courteous. They repaired my car in a timely manner. They even detailed my car. Thank Auto Body Express. I will definitely recommend future customers. read more

This shop did a great job fixing and repairing the back of my VW van and cleaning up some shoddy work that another body shop did. They even repaired a dent which wasn't part of their original quote and did not charge me extra for it. Their paint job quality and color matching was superb. I got quotes from a few other shops and theirs was very competitive. Plus they are nice guys to work with. I would absolutely use this shop again for any body work. read more

Very satisfied with the work that was done on my car. Communication about the whole process was excellent and I was kept informed throughout the time my car was being repaired. I highly recommend this body shop, the customer service I received was excellent and I'm very satisfied with the work that was done. read more

If you need body work, don't go anywhere else except for this place. I brought my one year old leased car in because I stupidly crunched my front fender. The paint had these reflective speckles imbedded in the paint so I wondered how it was going to look. OMG I could not tell any difference between the new fender and the rest of the car. It was like the original paint. On top of it, Shane detailed the rest of the exterior and interior. He is a perfectionist. Someone you won't find in a dealer body shop. This is his business so he owns the work. You cannot go wrong coming here. Plus he a super nice guy. read more

One day last year the front bumper and grill of my car got caught on a concrete parking stopper and it ripped off 80% of the connection to the rest of the car. I was completely broke, couldn't afford my car insurance deductible at the time, and the front of my car was hanging off. I rolled into Auto Body Express and they attached it back the best they could and gave me a temporary fix where the car was at least drive-able. They did it for free, in about 15 minutes, and gave me an estimate to get it fixed properly. Their quick and dirty 15 minute fix lasted me for over a year. So they get 5 stars for helping me for free when I really needed it. I came back over a year later to get the car fixed properly. I wasn't completely happy with the job they did because it turns out they missed a couple of things. But I am forever grateful for their generosity and service when I was in a bind. read more

I had an issue with my car's (BMW) bumper where my bumper tabs were broken. I took it over to these guys on recommendation by an auto shop that has been working on my family's cars for year so I didn't hesitate to try them out. The place seemed very disorderly and not properly managed when I got there just the first time. it took me 3 whole visits just to finally get a hold of someone who was (or atleast claimed to be) a manager there to take a look at my car and see if they could help me and give me a quote for the repairs. On the third visit there was an Indian/Fiji looking man who was on the heavier side and said he was one of the managers. He said he'd come take a look at my car. Upon looking at it he says right away that the clips are broken on the bumper and they can't fix it. Then he starts pointing out that the alignment on my bumper is wrong and that it shouldn't be that way. He says something about a portion of it covering the headlight and it's wrong. As I tried to explain that the vehicle naturally has that look, he starts calling me "rude" and saying he won't work on my car to which I tell him he already claimed they couldn't work on it even earlier to which he says we are able to do it but I won't do it for you which makes me really wonder if they really could help me or if he just made accusations on me to hide the fact that they are incapable of doing the work. Either way, PLEASE STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE. I repeat, DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE. Very poor service and disregard of customers and their issues:((( read more

I had a pretty bad crash back in October and they made the process so easy! I dropped off the car and they worked things out with my insurance company to make my life so much easier! They even gave me a holiday discount. They're very professional and family owned! So if you're looking for a body shop that is stress free this is the one. read more

I brought my SUV in today after scraping my front fender when backing out of a car garage...the impact ripped the molding and part of my bumper loose. After seeing my vehicle the manager named Chris got his helper Gustavo to take a look at it free of charge. To my surprise they actually put it back together and bent the frame to even it out and make it look 100% better than it was before when I showed up..after the fix he gave me an estimate and everything took about 30 min...I really appreciate your guys help and I definitely will recommend to my family and friends.. Thank you again!! read more

Came to Auto Body Express after my Chrysler 300 was rear ended, i was extremely satisfied with the service from both Shane and Rolando. They answered all questions asked, gave me a quote within a few minutes (huge plus when on my lunch break), and finally delivered great quality work on my car in a timely manner... you can't even tell anything was ever damaged in the first place, its like i drove right out the dealership. Awesome job guys thanks again! New loyal customer if i ever need any auto body work. read more

Amazing work, gets done quick, very great costumer service. I really recommend this shop for any type of automotive work. Best shop I've ever been too! read more

Super highly recommend this place!!! I brought my Mini Countryman in to replace the bumper, which was cracked (long story) and to fix one of the flood lights. Latchman did a thorough walk through with me around my car to review everything and pointed out what needed to be repaired and explained why, which I really appreciated. He ordered the parts and let me know when they arrived. The parts took a while to deliver but Latchman kept in touch with me, providing updates and following up with BMW for the parts. After the parts arrived, I brought my car in on a Monday at 7:30am. Latchman said they would do their best to have everything done by Friday. It was ready on Tuesday,the very next day!!!!! 4 days early!!!!! Joe was able to work on my car all day Monday and got it done. Everyone there is so nice! Now I have a "guy" who does autobody work. Hope I will not need to be back soon, but if I ever need body work again, I will absolutely be going to Auto Body Express! Thank you guys!! Stay awesome!!! read more

This review is LONG overdue - Auto Body Express went ABOVE AND BEYOND my auto repair expectations!! I would definitely come back and recommend this shop to anyone! I was sideswiped on my way to work one morning and it left my car severely scraped and slightly dented on the drivers side. I called to see if I could bring my car (appropriately named Carla) here for repairs, and mentioned it was being covered through their insurance, Geico. Shane said he works with Geico so I brought my car here with a preliminary estimate. I was then scheduled an appointment to bring in Carla and even have Enterprise meet me there so I could go to work that day. Now the day I bring my car in, enterprise had a bit of a delay picking me up that morning - no problem - one of the guys at the shop was happy to drive me up the street to the enterprise where I was taken care of. This is where it gets epic, I dropped my car off I believe midweek and I get a call a few days later with an update. They have already begun working on the paint and putting the finishing touches on Carla and will be done with her by the end of the following week, and even sent me pictures!! My jaw dropped - Carla had a bit of a booboo and my dad and I took it upon ourselves to try and cover it up last winter to avoid any bare metal exposure causing rust in further rainfall with an "in-home-paint-job" we referred to as a band-aid LOL. They guys did such a nice job cleaning up said band-aid and making the whole job come together so nicely!! I was impressed to say the least - Carla was getting the works. Dents, scrapes, paint - all taken care of thanks to this team! All in all I believe it took about a week and a half until I picked up my brand new looking baby doll and left the Enterprise rental with the guys. Everyone was super proud of the hard work put into my car when I picked her up and I'm relieved to say the least that the whole crew was clearly in on the amazing results I see in Carla every day now. Thanks a million for the hard work and integrity put into not only my car here - but also five star communication and repair time and quality. The results are something I admire every day and am thankful for! Hopefully will update sometime soon with before and after photos! read more

Refused me accommodate the fact that I can't bring my car in for a quote because of the damage. Even asked if I could come in persona with my Vin # and pictures of the damage and he said yeah no we can't do that. I guess ha read more

I'd give this shop more stars if I could. Long story short, I came to the shop to get an estimate on the work needed to repair my car after someone rear-ended me. Shane thoroughly explained that he could not give a proper estimate due to a number of underlying issues from the collision aside from the obvious paint and bumper issues. I relayed that message to the other party involved in the accident but they wanted to hear it directly from the shop. Fair enough. We met at the shop. Shane again outlined all of the potential issues that he had already explained to me but the other person refused to believe it and accused Shane of taking sides. The truth of the matter is there are no sides. All that matters is the cost of the repairs and who is paying for it. Shane was unbiased and did not allow for any disrespect for a customer hadn't even spent a penny there. This shows that there are good, honest people here at this shop. I would highly recommend people come here for their auto repair needs. read more

Took my car to this shop and the Owner took good care of me. He first asked if I was ok then asked about the rest of the people that were in the car. Had been sideswiped in the driver side and a week later hit and run on the passenger side. My car came back clean and looks like it's never been touched or hit. Great work and really clean. Thank you to this shop and the owner Shane for being so helpful and making sure I was taken care of. read more

Honest. Pleasant, Clean. Informative. Courteous. There are more superlatives I could include, but this gets my message across. I've taken my 1996 Jeep Cherokee here several times for 3 new back gates (people keep rear-ending me -- there must be an invisible target on it) and each time the prices are beyond fair, the work is superb, and they're very fast at getting my Jeep and me back on the road. I recommend this business highly. This time the gate had shifted, wouldn't close properly and finally jammed shut. They adjusted the door so it works correctly again, and didn't charge anything for their time or expertise. Alex, Shane and their crew are be fantastic! P.S. Just picked up the Jeep and they even gave her a bath! These guys need some homemade cookies, which will be delivered tomorrow. read more

Shane took car of me and my 65 Mustang and I'm extremely pleased with the work. It looks way better than it did before the accident. I rear ended some lady and damaged my hood, bumper, grill and left fender. There was a couple other parts that he was able to repair and saved me some money as well. I didn't want my insurance to go up so I didn't claim this one. Shane saved me some money and found some aftermarket parts and did an excellent job matching the custom paint color. I didn't even have the paint code but he was able to match it perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs custom paint work done. Thanks shane! read more

Auto Body Express - This fender suffered the most damage. - Body Shops Near Me - San Leandro, California

I came in here to get an estimate. the place was super freaking clean. it felt like if i was walking into a salon. tha guy i talked to was very polite as well and answerd all of my questions. the only thing i didnt like was that i felt like if he was asking alot of personal questions. he has a monitor on the wall that shows a slideshow of his work. (it's really good) in the end i didnt end up getting my car fixed here cause i felt it was a bit pricey. i went to a place on washington ave past the tunnel and they gave me a waaaay cheaper price there. They're not as clean but the price is way BETTER. check em out http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-garage-san-leandro read more

Auto Body Express was highly recommended and this review has been a long time coming...I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze, was a little concerned about the car looking brand new as it was just purchased in April of this year. My most and sincere THANKS to Shane and his crew for the outstanding work that was performed on my vehicle. These guys mean business and will go to the up most length to get your vehicle looking brand new as they did with my vehicle. If you are reading this review and are looking for a great Auto Body Shop, well this is the one to go to, as I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Believe me you will not be disappointed. GREAT JOB AUTO BODY EXPRESS!!!! read more

This was everything you would want from an autobody shop. Fast, efficient, great job, with a high level of personal service. Details are some morally challenged person decided to key my car in a parking lot. I took it in to AutoBody Express for a quote. Shane handled all the paperwork including arranging a rental vehicle and getting claim approved by insurance.I took my car in on a monday and they painted the whole passenger side beautifully. Job was complete by Wednesday afternoon. One satisfied customer. My only complaint was regarding the ineptness of the Hertz rental car in San Leandro who did not show up for scheduled pickup(I would write separate review but they are not in yelp), but this was not Auto Body' Expresses fault. read more

First of all Auto Body Express is very neat and clean in the front office as well as the shop! Alex came right out to help me and gave me a very reasonable estimate for damages done to my Dodge Ram. He was very helpful and knowledgeable on body work. He did the work in a timely fashion and did a very good job, I am very pleased with everything.....customer service was excellent! I would recommend his shop to anyone who needs body work done! Randy Roderick read more

Auto Body Express - They did an awesome job on my bumper & door! Great customer service & work ethic. - Body Shops Near Me - San Leandro, California

Gloria C. This is my 1st Yelp review! but I new it was imperative did I let everyone know what great customer service I received from Shane and his staff! I was concerned about dropping off my car because I did not have a way home, Shane said no problem I'll drop you off at your house. Shane also reviewed the estimate that was done by adjuster who was referred by my insurance company, and Shane notice things missing from the estimate. Shane did his own estimte and was able to get me more money from my insurance company. Noe thats looking out for the customer!! read more

I found Auto Body Express through Yelp and this is one those times where I can confirm the 5 star reviews are legit. Shane and Rolando were friendly, funny and put me at ease from the second I walked through the door. I immediately got an estimate that was below what I expected after reading body work horror stories online and the work was done fast, in less than 48 hours, and my car looked brand new when it was done. Proof is in the execution though - I was having a scrape, showing bate metal, on a fender fixed and got detailing inside and out, as I was returning a leased car at the end of its lease. Even though I thought the car looked great, I wondered what the dealership would think and they agreed, which is true confirmation. I will definitely be bringing any body or detailing work to Auto Body Express and they really have some great guys there. I don't have a ton of reviews - I have to feel either really great or awful about the experience and this was one time I left feeling great. Thanks Shane! read more

Shane and his team bring professionalism to their profession. I bought my truck into their shop for an estimate after it was vandalized. Shane recommended a new door skin because of the damage, but when I went to get an estimate from the insurance company they said I could repaired. The nature of the damage, near the door handle, made it necessary to replace the door skin and Shane made sure of it. I would recommend this shop to friends. Also the repairs were on time as promised. read more

I could not have been more pleased with the service we received from Shane and Auto Body Express. I went in for an estimate, which Shane completed quickly and honestly. He explained the breakdown of the costs and did so with a friendly, professional attitude. He informed me that on the day I decided to bring in my car for repairs, he would call the local car rental place to pick me up if I needed a rental. When I brought in the car for the repair appointment 2 days later, Shane explained that the work could take up to 2 days. I was surprised when he called the next day and said that the repairs were finished. What's more, I was stunned to see that his crew had cleaned and detailed the car. Even the floor mats had been cleaned! This is a top-notch operation, run by professional, friendly guys who understand what it takes to run a business. Fantastic customer service, efficient work, and, of course, the repairs were FLAWLESS! Our car's rear end looks new again! read more

Last November I was hit by a drunk driver and it took out my ram 2500 needless to say it needed a lot of work and we found out that it needed even more rear end work and it was a big big job the truck came out perfect and Shane was awesome he always wants to make sure his customers are taken care of they have great customer service they guys in the shop are great too real personable and professional I am defiantly sending people his way read more

I needed to get my passenger side mirror and housing replaced after getting into a tangle with a garbage can on a narrow road. After shopping online around I found a replacement part, but I decided that I didn't want try replacing it myself as it involved pulling out interior door panels which can be a pain. I went to yelp to see what shops had good reviews near my work and decided to give this place a try. I called them up to get a quote and they gave me a reasonable price for what would probably be about an hour or so of work. The guys were super friendly when I dropped the car off. I gave them my phone number and they said they'd call when the work was done. An hour later they called and I came to pick up the car. The guy there handed me the keys and said "No charge". WHAT?! Yeah, he said that they did it in less than 20 mins, so they weren't going to charge me for it as long as I keep them in mind if I need any more work done. It would have taken someone less skilled at least an hour to pull off the door panels, replace the mirror housing, hook up the electrical, etc. These guys are amazing and they clearly want to make their customers happy. I will definitely come back if I ever need more work done. read more
