I recently overcame a serious illness, lost my car, and have been relying on my boyfriend's vehicle. Unfortunately, we wrecked that car and brought it to Collision Body Services for a quote. While this shop has done work for us before, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. The owner admitted he could not provide a quote and instead pushed us to file through insurance. When the insurance company told us Collision was out of network and advised us to use another dealership, the shop refused to release the car and demanded $1,000 in fees. The charges were listed as photos, storage, towing, and administrative fees, but: We had already paid a third-party towing company. The car was only in their possession for 24 hours. No services or repairs were completed. No paperwork was signed. No fees were mentioned in advance. Just a month earlier, the same car was kept there for two weeks without any storage or admin fees. I'm glad the shop didn't get our business, and the insurance company confirmed that their behavior is typical of shops trying to push unnecessary fees when they don't win a customer. This felt exploitative, unprofessional, and greedy. I strongly advise others not to use this shop. read more

Was recommended to go to Calvin's after getting rear ended and I couldn't recommend going to Calvin enough. Extremely honest and no-nonsense, he's super straight to the point and wants to make sure you're walking out happy. It feels very good to be able to support a local business, and it's an even better feeling when that local business provides excellent quality work and in a timely manner. If I ever need body work again (hopefully not of course) I would definitely return! read more

I had an accident and my 2017 Audi A3 was not in good shape at all. It needed a new bumper and a tire. I was referred to Calvin's by a friend who had a repair done through him and said he did a great job. Calvin handled my repair directly with incredible, timely service. He helped me deal with the insurance company, which is never easy. His repair was top-notch and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a repair. I am truly grateful for Calvin's Body Shop and their precise and fast service. read more

Collision Body Services - Body Shops Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This shop did not end up doing any work for my vehicle. I simply went there based on the recommendation of quite a few people. One of my car door has a little bit of damage to it so I went to him for an estimate. I have to say my experience with him was not good at all. I kindly asked if he can take a look at it and see if he can help fix it the man that being the owner Calvin, was very rude and could not get me out of there fast enough he just told me no he cannot do it. I understand if there is a specific type of fix that cannot be done then it is what it is but his rudeness was just not OK and it left a really bad experience with me so I'm glad that it did not work out with him. To basically just bark at somebody and say no you cannot do it and walk away was just unprofessional. read more

I've had 3 accident repairs handled by Calvin, and I've got to say that he not only does a stellar job, but he makes the process painless. This guy will work around YOUR schedule to get your ride fixed. You just don't find that level of customer service in this day and age of short attention spans and focus on quantity. Calvin was referred to me by my mechanic up the street at Prime Performance. All of my vehicle needs are taken care of on one street! What more can you ask for? read more

I just had some body work on my Lexus at Calvin's. Very reasonable very fast and just all-around great guy to work with!

Just looking up details to provide somebody looking for a recommendation for a body/repair shop and didn't realize I'd not added a review here. Calvin and his shop are top notch. Saved us a ton of money (my youngest son is prone to doing ridiculous damage to his truck) and several repairs. Does his best to present multiple options for a repair (from "good enough to last until the next accident" to "fresh and new"). read more

Incredibly honest and does great work, I refer clients there and use them for my own vehicles as well.

After an accident, I had both rear and front-end damage. I needed my car repaired back to its pristine condition. I was referred to Calvin's Auto Body. I had the option to take the car anywhere to be repaired but decided upon Calvin's based on a trusted referral. Without question an excellent job was done. He provided excellent customer service, a fair price, and my car has been restored to its original condition. I have already decided to take an older vehicle in for a fresh paint job. I have found my body shop for life. read more

Calvin and his team did a great job on my 2012 Tacoma. He worked well with my insurance adjustor to make sure all damaged items were cared for.

He always answered and talked to me when I called. The work was completed on time and to my full satisfaction. A+ read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Calvin's Auto body. My car was vandalized by unknown assailants, It was in desperate need of repairs including front headlights. I choose not to go through my insurance company In fear of facing the risk of my insurance premium going up, but I also didn't want to spend an astronomical amount of money to have it fixed. After diligently looking for a reputable auto repair shop, I was referred to Calvin's Auto body. From the moment I stepped foot into the repair shop the connection began. Everyone was very polite, professional and put my mind at ease. I was given a reasonable estimate and the work was completed in a timely manner. If your seeking great auto body work at a reasonable price I would highly recommend Calvin's Auto repair shop. read more

Can not wait getting my car painted Monday by Calvin I am so excited to see how she turns out

When I arrived Calvin was in his office. He immediately came outside to review my body damage that was caused by running into the side of the garage in several places over time. He gave me an estimate right away and it was very good at 25% less than all the others! The vehicle is a 1999 Land Cruise that spends a lot of time in the garage and so many of the other shops wanted to quote it like it was a 2014. I was getting discouraged until I arrived at Calvin's. Also included in the estimate were other areas of the body that I did not even see before as a problem. I brought it to him on a Monday and it was finished by Thursday afternoon. I picked it up Friday and I feel like I am driving a new vehicle that looks like a 2014. His work is beautiful. Don't miss talking to him. It is a long way to his shop in Port Tampa but worth the drive. read more

Calvin has repaired or painted several of my car's over the years. His work, customer service and CHARATER are all excellent. Always treated fairly with respect and coutesy. Do not be afraid, he has worked on my Nissan's to Mercedes and now my BMW's with the same excellent result and best price. No one else does my paint and body work. read more

Calvin's body shop is far and above exceptional service. He replaced my hood after an accident on the highway and his timing was impeccable. I was told exactly what the problem was, how he would fix it and how long the entire process would take. The paint color was flawless and Calvin knew that was a concern of mine. I HIGHLY recommend Calvin's body shop and will be using him for all future body work. read more
