From the time my car got to the body shop up until I picked it up Bay Auto customer service was beyond EXCEPTIONAL. Even upon getting my car back I was so shocked on how they not only made sure the paint of my car was the exact color but they washed my car and made sure the tank was full. I am beyond satisfied with my car and God forbid some get into an accident but if you do make sure your car goes to Bay Cities Auto. Again EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENTL customer service ‼‼‼ read more

Recently had my 07 Silverado 2500 HD worked on by Bay Cities due to damage on the passenger side bed and door. They came off very professional and very comforting in the aspect of being able to get the job done in a timely manner and with great quality/care. However When the day came to pick up my truck it was poorly assembled. My door handle had a broken clip which was done by their techs and they swore they didn't break anything along with the door lights not being connected and wires hanging out the door. My tail lights poorly aligned. The cab missing top rubber Gromit on the roof. Poor welding (broken tacks) (poor welds covered by seam sealer). My trailer connections were left hanging in my spear tire location. The bed side doesn't sit the same as the driver side. The passenger rear door paint job looks like there's warpage due to bad bodywork and doesn't close properly . Over all not happy and I wouldn't recommend although they stand by their work (craftsmanship only ) if they couldn't do it right the first time kinda hard to try to trust him the second time read more

I brought in my 2017 Honda Pilot due to paint peeling on the rear roof and spoiler area, which was making the vehicle look aged. My headlamps were also dull, causing poor nighttime visibility. I was incredibly impressed with the results. The paint job was flawless, and the headlamps now look and perform like new. On top of that, your team went above and beyond by washing the car and detailing the interior--something I truly wasn't expecting but deeply appreciated. It's rare to find a shop that takes that level of pride in their work. Please pass along my sincere thanks to everyone involved in making my car look and feel new again. read more

Everything about them. They fixed a computer issue on my lane detector and while I was there, I had them quote me on repairing the car roof because of an ACURA paint defect which AutoNation Acura in Torrance on Crenshaw refused to make right. At Bay Cities, Brian, the owner, is amazing. His staff is great too. read more

This place is amazing! First off I have to say this is my second time here to get a car repaired. They do phenomenal work. 1st praise: I left some money in the car when I dropped it off and no one touched it. I found this to be very honorable and trustworthy. The staff is honest! 2nd praise: Melyssa and Genovany are the best! They kept me updated about the progress of my repair. I would highly recommend them for any collision damage repair. Thank you Bay Cities! I'm not only 100% but 1000% satisfied! This is my go to place for repair work. You will not be disappointed if you select this business to be your collision repair shop. read more

I had a very positive experience with Bay Cities Auto Body in Harbor City. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. One of the standout features of my experience was the Carwise app -- it kept me informed every step of the way, walking me through the repair status with real-time updates and photos. It made the process so much more transparent and stress-free. The customer service was truly above and beyond. Brian Engle and Ruben Espinosa were incredibly helpful, communicative, and genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of. They answered all my questions, kept me in the loop, and made me feel confident that my vehicle was in good hands. And the workmanship? Top-notch. My car looks flawless -- like the damage never happened. You can tell they take pride in their craft and don't cut corners. If you're looking for a body shop that combines cutting-edge tools, outstanding customer service, and high-quality repairs, Bay Cities Auto Body is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

I recently took my 2023 Toyota Tacoma in for a repair on my rear passenger door. I chose Bay Cities because they had done insurance work on my previous vehicle and I was pretty happy with the results. Here's a little more detail: The repair I needed was pretty small, super annoying, and I was unable to repair it to my own satisfaction! The quote I obtained from Bay Cities ran about middle of the pack price-wise compared to the other shops I was considering. But because of my previous experience with Bay Cities, and the help that I had from Melyssa and Ruben with my questions and concerns, I decided to move forward with my repair. The end result is that my truck looks beautiful again! The paint and body work is completely undetectable and matches absolutely prefect!! Thanks Bay Cities!! read more

The team at Bay Cities Autobody provides a top tier service comparable to the Ritz Carlton in a different setting. It was refreshing to have that level of customer service. This shop is unique and the team there loves what they do. They communicated along every step of the way. Explained the quote, spoke with insurance and enterprise on my behalf, and truly made everything so easy. I had my bumper and gate repaired after being rear ended. The work itself was done to perfection. Thank you Christina Ruben and the team for repairing my car with quality and kindness in the forefront of your service. read more

I GOT STRAIGHT LIED TO AND MY DAD CAUGHT THEM IN A LIE! IF YOU'RE A FEMALE THEY WILL STRING YOU ALONG & LOSE CAR PARTS I got into my first accident ever late June. I was looking into the in network shops that my insurance covers. I had two other shops quote me stating that my car could be done in 8-10 Business Days (out of network shops) but I decided to give this place a try to save some money. WORST MISTAKE MADE. My dad is a mechanic but since it was my first accident I told I could handle it myself but to just come join me. I had my dad go with me to sign off on the work that was needed and GEOVANY told my dad that an alignment had to be done & that they could do it. My insurance paid their portion on July 2nd. My car was estimated to be done initially by July 15th. Then my car got pushed to be done by the 18th, which I let slide because I am not going to complain about 3 days. I called the day before my car was going to be ready and I was assured that "everything was on schedule to be done by the 18th". I got a call on the 18th early morning by Geovany that unfortunately they CANNOT do my alignment at the shop but they are sending to another shop as we speak that can help and it would be done latest tomorrow the 19th. I let my dad know and he went to see where the car was sent and what the issue was because GEOVANY TOLD HIM THAT AN ALIGNMENT COULD BE DONE THERE. Geovany told my dad jokingly that the mechanic that does alignments got taken by ICE and obviously that is not something to say in a joking matter. MY DAD WAS EXTREMELY OFFENDED and lost all respect for this business at this point The cherry on top is that my car had not been taken to the other shop yet (4PM) and my dad saw it sitting in their lot. To make a long story short I didn't get my car until the 22nd thanks to my dad BUT.. THEY RETURNED MY CAR WITHOUT A FRONT LICENSE PLATE AND WHEN ASKED ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY LOST IT AND TO SEND A BILL. Anyone who read to this point, lets take a poll: Do you think they will actually reimburse me? leave a comment. read more

Bay Cities Auto provided top notch great customer service the minute we brought our car for an appraisal inspection before repairs. The staff was very professional and very courteous especially with our kids by providing snacks and hot wheels. This was my first time dealing with claims repair and I was worried about getting a rental. The staff was so accommodating by getting us the insurance rate for the rental and helped us step by step with any questions that we had. They made everything very easy for us. Their quality of work was excellent and they even washed and detailed our car once the repairs was completed. They truly went above and beyond with their service. Going forward I know that we can always rely on Bay Cities Auto for their excellent customer service and repairs. Thank you - Del Quality 10/10 Customer service 11/10 Top notch read more

brought car in for an insurance claim & they gave me the car back with damage still there from the car accident telling us it would not be covered when my insurance said the whole thing would be covered even with the cost it would have been. husband had to bring car back to let them know. we should not have brought our car here as this is the 2nd time we have been disappointed but thought it would be different this time around. definitely would not be coming back read more

Hassle free transactions every time (never my fault, thankfully!) I was unfortunate enough to need their services 3 times in one year: 2 minor dings/dimples and 1 major front end damage.

Save your time with this bodyshop my insurance recommended this shop what a joke Brian was my contact person it took him and his team over a month to figure out if my vehicle was a total or not remember I'm in a rental at this time I'm running outta time and and I end up paying extra 2 weeks and 2 weeks later is when my insurance contacted me Via email it's a total No communication or nothing with this body shop ****Stay away from this shop***** read more

Sadly I trusted Bay City Auto Body with my 2025 Sierra truck ... they come off at the start to be professional ... I had two claims with my truck and trusted them to fix it ... they told me two weeks to get the needed repairs done and to get the parts needed .. they have a text system that text you with updates constantly which is good but I found out to be worthless and not accurate. The day my car was to be ready I called to confirm and I was told verbally and by text that my truck was complete and was being inspected and that I would be notified it was thoroughly inspected ... I received a call finally after 3:45 / 4pm and was told the truck was ready ... I asked when they were closing and they said they close at 5 but he would wait... I was over an hour away but with traffic arrived at 5:30 approx ... while I was waiting for one of the owners Carlos to help me I started to load up my things from the rental ... at one point when I went back into office Carlos asked me if I inspected the truck ? my truck was parked out front and it was dark and no lights to be able to see anything so I thought that was a strange questioned as well as I was told from early that morning that the truck had to go through a inspection before I picked it up ... I said I didn't think I could see anything since there was no lighting and it was so dark ... At that point I noticed a heavy chemical smell coming from the interior of the cab and I also notice that they used red lettering on the grill ... My truck had black lettering when I brought it in and all other lettering was black ... I showed it to Carlos and he just said they would have to order it and they would let me know as if it was convenient for me to bring the truck back get another rental and do this all over again ... I said no cause I was also worried about the smell of the cab .... this was on a monday I wasn't happy for a few reasons .. one was I just drove in an hour and a half traffic to get there as well as the disappointment of the truck not ready .. you would think they would understand that but they did not Carlos just said merry Christmas ! Not in a good use of a way.. very derogatory manner .. I was told that they would have it ready on Friday ... I spoke to adjuster and to Gio at Bay Cities and was confirmed on Wednesday it would be ready Friday ... come Friday I wasn't informed til late afternoon they didn't have parts .. which then it was told to me my truck would be ready the following Thursday ... Thursday am I received a text at 7 am saying my truck was ready to come home ... so I started my drive into area and about 10:30 / 11 called Gio to let him know I would like to be there about 1 pm to pick up my truck he said that he would have to call me back and I asked why he said he wasn't sure truck was ready ... I said I received a text at 7 am saying it was ... he then said that was a mistake and that he would call me in about 30 min... when he called me back he said they found an issue / damage to the back of my truck ..I said that's strange there was no damage there then he changed it to they call it the back but it's the side and elaborated about a specific part of the wheel area ... and kept saying that they know how I want my truck perfect .. lol ... I asked doesn't everyone want their car done well... I've never used those words ... I didn't asked for perfect so it was strange to keep hearing that statement about how I wanted it perfect and that's why it wasn't ready .... I spoke to my adjuster the next day and found out that while my truck was in bay cities care that they damaged the back of my truck so I was being lied too... on top of no apology ... I still have not heard from anyone on when my truck will be ready ... Don't be fooled by them ... I don't believe they really care and they have missed so many things so the inspection process means nothing as far as I'm concerned ... Sadly still without my truck for over a month ... Good luck to those who try them I'm sorry this happens to anyone ... I wish I would have read through the reviews on this before I made the decision to take my truck here ... I have no confidence in this shop Bummed !!! read more

Wouldn't Recommend Any Other Body Shop In LA !! Took my 2023 Toyota Tacoma for body work honestly couldn't be happier with the results . Upon arrival was greeted by Carlos who was very knowledgeable & made the process very simple. He took care of the entire process from talking to my insurance agent to giving me an estimate when my vehicle was gonna be finished. Honestly didn't have to do anything other than give the go ahead to work on my truck. Nothing but OEM parts were installed on my vehicle Recommend this place if you need body work done . read more

they were really nice and very welcoming. they also did everything I didn't have to do anything. the insurance covered it. I was really happy how it came out. I would beeen more happy if my bumper matches the paint of the car a bit better. but it's okay. read more

Wonderful service! Isabel, Christina, Brian, and Ruben were absolutely helpful. Isabel helped me to get my insurance claim come through and scheduled us to bring the car in. Brian explained the process in detail to us. After we dropped off the car and did the work, they dealt with insurance on our behalf. Ruben did an excellent repair and communicated with us thoroughly. Having a car accident can be devastating, especially when you have a new car like mine...I am so thankful that my insurance recommended me to Bay Cities. I am very satisfied with their work and their customer service. I felt cared for during the whole process, and I am so grateful to have my car back the way it was. Thank you! read more

I've taken my car here twice now and i'll always bring my car to Bay Cities Auto Body. The quality of work is really nice. And, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. My car is a 2018 and has been in two accidents: one I was not at fault for and one I was working with a driver who had no insurance. Both times the staff knew how to handle the payment/claim process and both times my vehicle came back looking brand new. They also communicated with me via text message regularly to keep me updated on my repairs; I never had to call or ask for an update once! I would definitely recommend this place each time! read more

After I got rear ended and filed a claim... I knew right away where I was going to be taking my car for repairs! They are simply the best! They communicate every single detail with you and their repairs are amazing work! All of the people who work there always treated me with respect and kindness!

Great customer service and very professional. From the very first call I knew I was in good hands. I was told what to expect, given an approximate time line and received updates on my vehicle's progress. Even after I received my vehicle there was an unrelated issue found from a previous window repair and they were able to take care of that as well. Being involved in an accident is a nightmare itself so I really appreciated them making the process as smooth as possible. read more

My family and I have always used Bay Cities for our vehicle accident repairs. I've heard the entire process of insurance claims and repair can be frustrating, but we've never had that problem at Bay Cities. From start to finish, everything is communicated to us, and our insurance, simultaneously. They've never used cheap, generic parts, and the work has always been done by the date promised, if not sooner. Recently, we used them this past summer on our brand new Suburban that had a minor fender bender. When it was finished, the car looked like it had never been hit. Thank you again Bay Cities for your service, reliability, and efficiency! read more

I brought my car in to repair damage to the rear bumper and quarter panel. Isabel offered exceptional customer service and recognized my concerns with regard to our car insurance. Brian was awesome to work with, keeping me informed every step of the way. He was also able to bring down the cost of repairs for some of the parts, which I greatly appreciated. The car was finished ahead of schedule, despite the extra day for quality control that Brian initiated and managed efficiently. My car was returned looking wonderful and super clean!
