Post-Repair (2 of 4)

City Fender & Body Service was recommended to me by Geico who was taking care of my car repairs. While I was initially hoping to go to Timmerman's in Kailua, I had recently found out that the original owner had officially retired, so without much familiarity with other auto body shops and the fact that City Fender was so close to work (and recommended by one of my work moms), I decided to go for a visit. I had stopped by on a weekday and was immediately assisted by Jason, the Manager, who must have noticed my awkward and anxious self trying to figure out what to do. I explained to Jason that I was there to get an assessment to forward to Geico but also wanted to know if the repairs were even worth it or if I should just get a payout since my car was on the older side. Jason then informed me that the damages were artificial and recommended the payout. He then asked me to wait for a second and returned back with a rag and a gatorade bottle of clear liquid (later identified as paint thinner). As Jason started wiping away at the scratches, I was shocked. Jason had even taken a tool to lift the dented part of the door so that it was easier to open/close. I was so amazed that I had even offered to pay Jason for doing what he did to make my car better but he politely declined noting that it was a minor fix, if even that, and then printed me the check for the settlement money. Unfortunately for me, it was now my husband's turn to feel anxious because he was worried that we would not pass safety inspection, so I went back to City Fender after having already driven off, and was again greeted by Jason. After I explained the situation, I returned the check to Jason, and then he started the repair process. Jason had even asked, "You sure you don't want to take the check (because you'll pass inspection)?" And I remember looking at him and saying I wish I could but my husband's Chinese won over my Chinese side, so I am just over it. We shared a laugh and then Jason explained the probable repairs (at least that could be identified on the surface) and that if there was anything additional that they would work with Geico. Jason also asked if I was going to get a rental and when I explained that I didn't feel like paying for additional insurance, Jason informed me that my insurance should take care of it, so that I should call and double check. And sure enough, what do you know, my insurance did cover rental cars, so I definitely opted for that during the repair time. I dropped off my car about a week or so later and Jason was again there to assist as was Kylie, and they both arranged for Enterprise to pick me up directly from City Fender and gave me an estimate of the repair time. From there, the only further update that I got was that they found additional damage, so the repair time would be a couple more days than was anticipated, but even that came and went and I was back at City Fender a few weeks later. I was greeted again by Jason and Kylie who went over my forms with me and Jason also showed me the repairs and wow, I was impressed when Jason just had the paint thinner and rag, but to see a full detailed repair...the car was almost as good as new! The mechanic who also worked on my car also did some additional repairs, which I truly appreciated even though the mechanic didn't need to but still took time out of his own work day to do so. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend visiting City Fender for any auto body repairs. From the very moment I met Jason, he has been nothing but kind, patient, and informative. I actually learned quite a lot about cars and even auto insurance in the short time that I met Jason than I have in all of my 30+ years of life. Kylie as well as the other employees I have encountered were also just as kind and understanding with my questions and concerns. And while being involved in a car accident wasn't something I had wished or planned on, I am grateful for the people and the companies I worked with along the way because of it.

This review is being posted PRIOR to the work being completed on my vehicle…read more Im leaving the review with the disclaimer, that it may change. Only reason that im leaving it early is because so far, ive gotten amazing service. I am leaving a review for Mazda as well. My car is currently being worked on by SH Fender in Kaka'ako. I drive a Mazda SUV, newer model. I noticed the the roof had some bubbling happening. If you know anything about paint, you know that bubbling can only mean that you'll be in a world of debt if you let it keep going. Now, being that my car is newer, I was shocked to see the paint and roof already starting to rust. I dont take my car to the beach. I dont park at construction sites. I dont throw bird poop at it. Luckily for me, this job is being covered by the paint warranty offered by Mazda. Go me! Anyway, I dropped my car off at Mazda and it was quick to head over to SH. SH was also quick to start it -- I know this because on the same day, I got a call requesting for the key to remove my roof racks (that I stupidly forgot to hand over). That being said, after doing some research, I was super happy that SH was responsible for my car since they have excellent reviews and a friend of mine has used them before. If I could have repainted the roof black, I would have, hahaha, but I assume they'll do an amazing job on the polymetal grey. P.S. SH guys, if you want to get that scratch off my front bumper, feel free to do so HAHAHA.

Great quality service! Looks brand new and the paint blend makes it look seamless. The customer…read moreservice was professional and they worked great with insurance company. I would definitely recommend their work.

After suffering 4 months of ghosting and tales from another auto body shop, my family and I yelped…read morereccommendations for our newly acquired JDM vehicle, Joe responded within minutes on a late Saturday afternoon. Not only is a quick response on a Saturday a highly unusual experience for me, another surprise was his willingness to offer a Sunday consultation, in-person at the shop. The location is easy to miss, but just give Joe a call or text and he will guide you to the right bay. He has a clean and spacious office with AC!!! Conditions of the front-end repairs were discussed, and it was easy to discern Joe has experience working with insurance companies. Although the insurance company authorized the repairs, we chose not to complete them because ours was a JDM, with only 24 of these on the continental united states. This meant we could insure it, but would be issued a salvage title. We needed a vehicle for everyday activities of daily living and not as a custom show mobile, so we sadly sureendered the 1998 Nissan Serena to the insurance company. Joe took care of all the insurance stuff, including storage of the vehicle and towing it to auction. Should we have the misfortune of needing collision repair...MOS DEF... Encore Collision is our GoTo

I normally don't leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience…read more Our 2011 Toyota RAV4 has been at Encore Collision since October 2025 for repairs. Over several months, we were repeatedly told that work was in progress, parts were on order, or that the vehicle was nearing completion. It's March 31, 2026 and it is still not finished. However, during multiple in-person visits, there has been little to no visible progress. Communication has been inconsistent, and there were times we arrived during business hours and no one was available. We understand that delays can happen, but the lack of transparency and follow-through has been extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable. We also observed signage indicating BBB accreditation; however, the BBB website currently lists this business as not accredited, which was confusing and concerning. At this point, we have had to escalate the matter in order to seek resolution. We hope this can still be resolved professionally, but based on our experience, we would strongly advise others to proceed with caution as there are many red flags despite the positive reviews.

This review is long overdue, but absolutely deserved…read more Lee has been incredibly good to me from the start -- treating me with genuine aloha and real pride in the work he does. The job I needed wasn't collision-related; it was a full aesthetic upgrade. I wanted to completely change the color of my Tacoma, and after Yelp showed me a bunch of options, I decided to visit Lee in person to see what he was about. I'm not much of a car guy, so this whole process was new to me. Because it was an expensive project, I came in cautious and ready to keep my guard up. But after meeting him, that guard dropped fast. Lee is passionate, ambitious, and fully committed to doing things the right way. He walked me through everything with honesty and integrity -- never once taking advantage of the fact that I didn't know much about cars. Instead, he supported me, educated me, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. After agreeing to his estimate, I handed over my keys the following week, and he went to work. About a month later, I saw my truck in a completely new light -- literally. It wasn't charcoal grey anymore; it was Space White, a modern cool‑tone metallic white originally introduced by Ford in 2020. It's a unique two‑tone shade that looks grey in the shade and bright white in the sun. I found it by accident while searching for a white that wasn't "company truck white," and Lee was just as excited about the choice as I was. From start to finish, he delivered amazing work. This was the best investment I've ever made for my 2015 Tacoma (still under 50k miles!), and I'm genuinely grateful I trusted him with it. If you're looking for someone who cares, communicates, and takes pride in their craft, Lee is the one.
