    Original Damage
    Katianna T.

    Hector and his team did a phenomenal job. Not only were they affordable and willing to be flexible, my car also looks great (including the complimentary detail!). Hector had some of the best customer service I've experienced in Salinas and I would gladly go back to him for any and all car repairs. I was provided options depending on my budget, and Hector was fully understanding of the work I needed done and was happy to walk my through it, I would highly recommend them.

    Finished and installed

    I am so very happy with the workmanship and glad I found Hector and his crew! About 4 years ago I was in a windstorm and opened my driver side door when the extreme wind flew the door open and bent the hinges. I had been looking to have this fixed but only got responses like "I need to take the door off and charge $100+ per hour and don't know how long it will take". In the meantime I taped the door close because the wind noise was unbearable and made the whole door vibrate. Hector had one look, gave me a reasonable price range. I just drove for miles on the highway and the wind noise is gone. Its like I have a new van!!! I also had the propane tank painted, see pictures they speak for themselves. Very thorough job! The third thing they did for me was to take the ugly broken plastic bumper off to reveal a beautiful chrome bumper underneath it (they did not install it, it was already there) Having a 19 years old camper van, I know I will be back! Thank you so much Hector and crew! Gertrud Robinson

    I've been looking for a repair shop for sometime and found this shop on yelp. The repair I had done was something I thought I could do my self, ( I'll just pull the bumper off and throw some paint on it) I was wrong. I also thought, I can have one of these businesses on social media do it for cheap. I am so satisfied with my decision to have my bumper repainted at Car Tech Auto. The bumper was taken off, completely stripped, refurbished, primed and painted with no flaws. My car was detailed and ready for pickup ahead of schedule. Not to mention great customer service and a life time warranty on the paint. Thank you for the amazing service.

    I took my car in because I wanted a different front grille for my 2020 4Runner and Hector was able to help me out. They also detailed the exterior/interior and did an amazing job!!! Here's a before and after days after they installed my new grille.

    My car had an auto body issue to the front fender while we were away from our home location and were visiting Salinas. We were on a tight timeline and had a flight to catch. Hector was thoroughly professional and ensured he would make it happen within a week provided all the parts made it in time. Hector was very professional, communicative, and reassuring through the whole process. Hector and his staff went out of their way to keep things on schedule and get the necessary parts on time. They also offered to drop and pick me up from my location which was a great personal touch! We were down to the last few hours of Friday and Hector and the staff worked over lunch to make it happen in time and my car was perfect and was detailed in time! Even offered an update next time I was in town. Massive kudos to the entire staff at Auto tech collision. They really turned a stressful situation into delight and customer happiness! If you are looking for an honest, reliable, and quality craftsmanship look no further and take your car to Hector and his team! Wish them the best as they look to open another location in Monterey!

    AMAZING!! I can't say enough positive things about Car Tech Auto. Hector and his crew at Car Tech are the not only the best at their work but also wonderful customer service. I found their shop on Yelp after looking everywhere for someone to fix my 2015 Chevy Tahoe's broken A/C unit. I was about to give up on fixing it after multiple other shops wanted at least $1100 for the work. But having 3 little ones who def need A/C on hot days I decided to do more research. After seeing their 5 star reviews on Yelp I called Auto Tech and was given an estimate of half of what others wanted. He told me the min and max cost it would be to fix and explained the entire process of fixing my A/C. I immediately scheduled an appt. I brought in my Tahoe yesterday and was shocked how perfect they returned my vehicle. Not only did they fix and perfect my A/C but they also washed the exterior but also vacuumed/detailed the interior. It looked brand new! Hector showed me the pics of the entire process they did and had info on everything they replaced/fixed. I am so grateful to them for fixing my vehicle and giving it back better than ever.

    Paint matched perfectly.

    This is hands down the only place you need to be taking your car to get any kind of body work or paint done. I had my front and rear bumpers painted to the OEM color and it came out flawless. If I have any other projects for my car in the future this will always be the place I go.

I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear windows, and a light tint placed on the windshield to reduce UV rays and IR damage. The windshield tint is not noticeable and seems to be a common aftermarket installation; particularly in areas that get a lot of sun. During a very warm month of March, it seemed like it kept the interior cooler, putting less strain on the A/C. Gabe also applied PPF over the front of the vehicle and tailgate as well as door cups. It's nice knowing these surfaces are protected from rocks, and anything that could chip the paint. A lifetime ceramic coating was placed over the top of everything to promote a lasting shine and protection for all surfaces. This is the third vehicle that Gabe has provided this service for me, and he always does a great job. High attention to detail, dependable timelines and a fair price. His new shop in Marina is very nice and reflects his quality oriented business.

The paint protection film on the front bumper they installed didn't turn out great so they removed the film and replaced it. They actually did a horrible job the second time.

He was able to schedule the work quickly. He arrived on time after giving ETA texts. He is very personable and pleasant to chat with. His work was first class, and since there was no rush, he took extra time to correct blemishes to the finish since the vehicle is mostly parked under trees. I am so happy with the work he performed, that I'm planning to schedule regular maintenance and washing.

To my surprise, Jerry responded within five minutes. After answering a few quick questions, my appointment was set for Saturday. Jerry was incredibly friendly and clearly explained what he would be doing and how long the service would take. I don't think he realized just how much dog hair was in my car, so the job took a couple more hours than he expected -- but the results were absolutely worth it. My car looks brand new. His attention to detail, especially on the little things, was truly impressive. One thing to keep in mind when booking: Jerry will ask a couple of questions so he can quote an accurate price. It only takes a moment, and it ensures fairness since vehicle sizes and conditions vary. Personally, I was expecting to pay about $150 more than I actually did. Overall, you can't go wrong with hiring him. Take the extra minute to answer his questions -- you won't be disappointed.

I brought in a farm truck that required a thorough deep cleaning and a tint job. I accidentally showed up during lunch time, but Eric postponed lunch and carefully walked me through the options and process. Very educational. I greatly appreciated their time explaining to me the process and and showing me through the entire shop to help me make a decision on options. Being a farm truck, it definitley needed a lot of care and I was blown away by end result. I feel like I am driving a brand new pickup!!! I was very impressed with the service and communication that Eric, Johnny, Danny, and Pete provided at Grease Monkeys. Most people would turn away a working farm truck like mine, but this crew took it on with gusto. As a business owner myself, it is great to see another business of young professionals who are passionate about the quality of their work and about customer service. Eric was the lead on the job and he was transparent and communicative during the entire process.

These guys do not cut corners, everything is cleaned polished even the smallest out of the way crevice. And you dont have to go around pointing out things that were missed. These folks are absolutely meticulous. I have also stopped by their shop in salinas and had car washes while i waited, much better done than the car washes here in town. when they come to your house they are prompt, and ready to go to work, and they work hard until the task is done . They will clean the insides of your rims, make sure the super low parts of your body are perfect, and take care of small flaws all as part of the job. I highly recommend them. Great can do attitude!
