    After - looking good as new!
    Sunil S.

    In January of 2024, I picked up a beautiful Audi sedan which I love driving. A few months later, the day after we brought our second son home from the hospital, I was driving to the grocery store in Berkeley when a police cruiser sped through a red light at 50+mph. By the time I heard the siren, it was impossible to come to a stop and the front of my car hit the side of the police car. Thankfully my older son and I were safe and uninjured but this was a source of considerable stress to me. Geico contracts with Caliber Collision in Berkeley as a first party repair shop - which is literally a turnkey service - a blessing when you're wrangling two little kids at home. Geico arranged to transfer the car from the towyard to the shop, the shop provided an estimate and worked with Geico to get this approved. The repair took over a month, there was a lot of work to be done and a lot of parts to be replaced. Irene, my advisor at Caliber, did a fantastic job of keeping me informed of what was going on. There were a few false hopes towards the end as the car was close to being ready but quality issues were discovered and they had to replace them. When I first came to collect it, I was disappointed to notice several obviously wrong things (interior trim was incorrectly replaced, the Audi emblem they replaced was the wrong colour, there was some light paint damage from overspray). They corrected these and I came back to collect the car the following week. Unfortunately there were several follow ups - some of which were trivial things that should have been caught during the work itself, like the windscreen wipers not being correctly located and getting stuck on the edge of the windscreen. Others were harder, like a persistent warning message related to the left headlamp. Thankfully, Joanna, the manager, stepped in. If there is a single reason I would go back to this bodyshop, it is the quality of service she provided and the level of ownership she had for my car. She personally made sure to investigate each of the issues I raised, and followed up with Geico to ensure coverage. When our original rental coverage had ended, she worked with Geico to extend this. She also worked with Audi of Concord to get the more challenging headlamp issue resolved. Whilst I hope I don't have a reason to go back, I would heartily recommend this bodyshop if you ever have the misfortune to need it!

    I was backing up and hit a pole. As you can see from the photo, it ended up really bad. That accident knocked off my front bumper, which left it barely holding onto my car. I immediately went to 3 places the next morning. The first place had told me the accident would cost me the estimate of $1,500-$2000k. I was really concerned as I am currently unemployed and I needed to pay out of pocket because my insurance is high. I went to a nice place named Henry Chin's Auto Care, who told me they weren't a body shop but they recommended me to the Caliber Collisions down Shattuck. I was concerned at first because as we got there, the space was very nice and organized. A well maintained and established business that intimidated me initially. We were immediately assisted, the receptionist gave me a warm greeting and looked at my car. She was very knowledgeable about cars herself. She passed me to someone who can look at my car and can gauge the fix and costs. While sitting in the waiting room, she made me and my friend feel welcomed. She offered us popcorn and coffee which comforted me while I waited for them to get back about the status of my car. We waited for about 20 minutes. When they returned to me and my friend I braced myself for the cost, instead they told me that I was good to go. My friend and I looked at each other really confused and shocked. He had told me they repaired my front bumper instead. I was so overwhelmed by their quick and quality work. I teared up as my car was fixed, which relieved me of so much stress. I am very grateful for the team at this Caliber Collisions, who genuinely care about the safety and concerns of their customers. Now a days, it's really hard to care about people, let alone finding an honest business that really takes the time to care. Caliber Collisions didn't just fix my car -- they restored my peace of mind. In a world where so many places are just about numbers and transactions, their kindness and integrity reminded me that compassion still exists in business. They didn't see me as just another customer with a broken bumper; they saw a person who was struggling and needed help. Their generosity, professionalism, and genuine human touch turned what could have been one of my worst days into a moment of gratitude and hope. To the entire team at Caliber Collisions on Shattuck -- thank you for going above and beyond. You have no idea how much your kindness meant to me. I'll never forget this experience, and I'll make sure to tell everyone I know about the good people who truly care about their community and their customers.

    They did a fine job repairing my car…read more They decided to clean the inside and outside of my car before returning it to me. They also decided to take valuables that were inside my vehicle (purposely stowed away under seats to prevent enticing someone looking inside to steal anything). I'm a single mother who's resources are precious. I'm missing expensive children's sunblock, expensive glass cleaner for tinted windows, latex gloves, paper towels. It's mind boggling and sad. Put peoples items back where you found them!! Don't just take what you need from their car!! I will not be returning.

    We have unfortunately been rear-ended twice in the last six months. Besides no injuries or…read moresignificant damage to the cars involved, the only saving grace has been that the process of getting our car repaired has been so easy and seamless with our insurance and Berkeley Auto Body. Berkeley Auto Body is one of our insurance companies' options for car repair and, given their Yelp reviews, we went with them. In both cases, they were very responsive, completed the work quickly (and well!) and also communicated well throughout the process. The intake process for the car was easy and thorough - Lupe took a ton of pictures to document the damage and also walked me through the damage she could visually see and where they would be looking more closely for more substantial damage. Everybody at the shop is very professional and friendly. I appreciate that they are responsive both via phone and email.

    In the past couple years I've had a Lexus bipped, that same car stolen later, then two other cars…read moresimultaneously wrecked when parked, by a driver fleeing w no Ls or insurance. So I've gotten to learn a lot about the insurance game. Brendon, Brianna and Jordan knew I wasn't in a rush and wanted everything replaced w OEM parts naturally. They played the insurance game w the adjuster, looking out for me. The way it seems to work is, the insurerers lowball the damages, and send non-OEM, aftermarket parts and hope the body shop and customer don't notice. Just anything to get the work done as cheaply as possible. The team at Panel Craft were so patient and communicative. Consistently sending back the parts and requesting that the parts be OEM, as well as insuring that the damages were all attended to. For example, the first appraisal completely didn't even take into account frame damage. Panel Craft did their own appraisal of damages. Eventually the Caddy was totaled, when the first appraisal from the insurers just took into account cosmetic damages. Secondly, they found subframe damage in Lexus and made sure to take it to a mechanic to prove that it needed replacing. Was it minor? Sure. But like Jordan says, we all pay a lot of money for insurance, and we need the vehicles restored to like-new condition when awful stuff happens. The team consistently kept me up to date, answered phone calls, and were extremely patient with the insurance companies shenanigans. They didn't rush the job or just slap on the aftermarket parts to keep the job moving. Instead they made sure the work was done right. Were steadfast and in the end the Lexus looks beautiful, with great color matching and paint. As good as new! They are a really nice family run business. Their father (up the street at the original Panel Craft location) gave me with free advice a decade back. (Dave, another really cool dude, who I like talking to.) I remembered and made sure to reciprocate with my business and I'm glad I did. Really great experience with these guys, after an incredibly tilting series of events with my cars. Highly recommend bringing your body work to them. Clean shop, friendly people, all of them stayed on point did great work.

    Update on the damage Brendin and Brianna did to my car wile in their possession -…read moreOk this just keeps getting better - After my first review I was contacted by an attorney telling me to "never contact panel Craft again" This shop refuses to stand behind their work! Let that sink in for a minute BEFORE you give these kids your car. Today I noticed parts of my interior were loose and were not like that prior to giving my car to PanelCraft So I pulled the dead pedal / stomp plate off and noticed GLOBS of silicone hot glue behind it. This is the same exact glue panel Craft also used to repair the tabs on my headlights. So I guess THEY broke these pieces, claimed they were damaged in the accident then also broke interior parts that NEVER NEEDED TO BE REMOVED! Used freaking HOT GLUE, not epoxy to a real plastic welder to fix them improperly then like Ed about it at time of delivery and used a two bit attorney to get away with it! I've also notified cad sevral areas of the car that were not repaired by the shop had mismatched paint pen used to fill in minor scratches. These were NOT there at time of drop off. My strong feeling are this damage was done after paint by whoever AnelCraft contracted to detail my car and cover it in snake oil at time of deliver to get it off their hands. These kids are HACKS!! Panel craft will DESTROY YOUR CAR!!!

    Panel Craft - More silicone / hot glue used to repair a headlight tab - so where's the tab , never screwed in & missing use glue lots and lots of glue!

I was referred to PanelCraft by my mechanic who has had a life long relationship with this family. Once dropper my car off nothing felt right, Jordan the employee who works between both shop is overly eager to help and messes up communication every step of the way. David lies to your face telling your every story you might want to believe but in the end, NOTHING happens the way he say it will. Panel Craft had my car for 8 months, it sat at Berkeley in the back yard for 6 of those. Then Dave pawned the car off on his toxic AF daughter Brianna who screwed EVERYTHING UP! Along with his son Brendin who seems to think he knows what he's doing with cars has an attitude but can't seem to fit a bumper or read instructions to save his life' Once my car was transferred over to the Oakland shop without my approval I got a call from Brendin and Brianna ( they share the same brain) YELLING at me saying "we never wanted to work on this car to begin with!!" Crying like some spoiled child saying the rebar supplied for my bumper was a rear not a front - totally incorrect!! Brendin then starts in saying they can't fit the lip or bumper - So I take a day off of work to go down w/ my mechanic to go over the parts needed to be installed. Turns out it was a Seat lip that can be fit to the car but was in the wrong box. The correct lip was in a giant 42x24" box from Volkswagen that they never opened - along with the instructions for installing the bumper on the car w/ all needed parts outlined with part #'s and pictures !! The paint work was rushed! After getting the car back there's more scratches on areas they worked on but didn't paint ( inside door jams) and on the roof that were never there to begin with. They DESTROYED my interior- ripped my drivers seat , ripped a huge chunk of foam out of the inside, took interior panels off ( dead pedal foot rest) that didn't need to be removed and broke them in the process then used hot glue to try and fix them WITHOUT TELLING Me!! Upon time of delivery at another business shop on their property NOT PANEL CRAFT, Brianna openly accused me of insurance fraud in front of customers at this other business. Has continued to slander my name saying "we read this about Brad on the internet" But to the point - They never completed the work paid for by insurance on my car, damaged the car wile in their possession , lied about EVERYTHING!, left visible scratches under the clear coat in the repaired areas, lied some more!!, painted over accident damage and never really "repaired anything" then dumped the car at another business shop for assembly ! Then cut ties with that business as well and won't even look at their employees as they pass them on the freeway in traffic going to work!! This situation was completely brought on PanelCraft by their poor work quality, poor communication, inability to understand jobs or read instructions and generally are some of the most angry and toxic people over ever come in contact with!' Be warned this is a sinking ship that's ripping off their customers to say in business as long as they can !! Hi Dave !!
