    Final revealed

    Professional customer service, good quality on final revealed. Recommended for all your auto body needs.

    Rear windshield, marks from their buffering tool
    Idalia T.

    Further damage was done to my vehicle while in the care of this shop as repairs were being made. Whichever technician had the responsibility of completing the repairs for my car was negligent in prepping the vehicle before sanding/buffering commenced and caused damage to my rear windshield, left passenger door/window panel, and other areas. Upon my arrival, I was told that my car would not start and they needed to jump start the battery before I came, so I was to wait 15 minutes before shutting it off. This prompted me to immediately inspect my vehicle for other issues since it was clear that the vehicle had been neglected while being stored in their facility for approx. 28 days, and that is when I noticed the subpar paint with multiple sand/buffer streaks and other body damage. The owner Fred Gil was not pleasant to talk with and he was very rude when he realized I wanted them to correct the issues that were damaged and done sloppily. He told me that my car looked better than the way it came in as to justify their wrong doing. While speaking with Allstate rep, they wanted me to return the key to the shop and have them fix the issues, while on the phone with them, Fred would not except my key and told me to leave and insulted me on my way out (Allstate rep heard all of this too). And to add another insult to injury, I had to call AAA because my car would not start while parked outside of their shop, I paid approx. $250 for a new battery. Worst experience ever and very stressful event. Stay away from this shop if you want things done correctly.

    Coming home from vacation to find my street-parked car plowed into and royally banged up was horrible, but at least the process for getting it repaired with Collision Experts was a painless breeze. Thanks to their partnership with Allstate, everything was easy and streamlined -- no extra steps of having to get an adjuster! Excellent customer service and quality repair work. Will definitely use again.

    Driver bump and scratches removed.
    Gladys R.

    Thank you !! The boss was nice, informative and helped me. For me over all great the only they didn't show me the car usually they walk you to your car and show you the results. but it was still great. Overall satisfied and would recommend. I had a dent removed and scratches buffed out. Reasonable price. I won't miss the cracking sound my door made before. Don't have a before picture but I do have an after and it looks great. I will be back here if I need anything else.

    After

    See all

    I hope you never need an auto body shop. But if you do (accidents happen), I would certainly…read morerecommend Francisco, Luis, and Long Beach Collision Center. I brought my Miata in because the front bumper was a bit distorted and showed signs of a messy repair from some time in the past. Luis carefully inspected the car, gave his opinion about the needed repairs, explained why some possible options were not good ones, and wrote up an estimate. I was consistently impressed with Luis's earnest personality and his willingness to take time with me to get things done right. I sat at his desk as he called around to ensure that we could get the correct OEM bumper for the car. During the course of the repair, Luis called to explain two necessary delays. Once, a part he planned on salavaging could not be salvaged, so he needed to order a part. On the second occasion, he discovered he needed a proprietary fastener from Mazda to ensure that my bumper stayed tightly attached. Although no one likes waiting for their car to be fixed, I appreciated his efforts to keep me informed and to provide me the best possible repair. Then, the car was ready. The surface was smooth and glossy and the paint match was about as good as I could ask for (there's always a slight difference between plastic bumpers and metal fenders). The rest of the car also received a good wash before they returned it to me. No one likes to spend money on repairs, and paint work is just inherently expensive. Still, if you have to spend the money, you might as well get it done right. I certainly recommend Long Beach Collision Center.

    I cannot thank Francisco and his team enough for how well they fixed my car & made it look pretty…read moreto look at again (ever since I gave it a good accidental scratching)! From the start Francisco was extremely considerate and communicative which I appreciated so much as I didn't know what to expect, and for the quality of the work, the quote was very reasonable! He even offered to stay past closing so I could come pick up my vehicle after work. Thank you to everyone at Long Beach Collision Center -- I will absolutely be back if I need more work done in the future.

    Craftsman Collision demonstrates outstanding customer service, communication and repair work…read morequality. Specifically, Angie contacted me within minutes of ending my call with AllState. Angie was professional and patient trying to fit me in for an estimate during the week. When I arrived for the estimate, Angie greeted me immediately. Without delay, Clay met with me to inspect the damages. I was pleasantly surprised with the cost. Clay also took time to go over the repair process so I had a better understanding of how long the repair would take. Prior to scheduling the repairs, Angie texted me the information on Enterprise Rental. When I returned for the repairs, Clay checked me in and made sure I retrieved any personal belongings I would need. They also sent periodic text updates during the process. Our vehicle was repaired ahead of schedule, and the team made it look like new again. Specifically, I was pleasantly surprised that Clay also had the headlights polished. Angie also conducted a final walkthrough and suggested I return if any issues occur. As a result, I highly recommend Craftsman Collision, and I greatly appreciate the professionalism by Angie and Clay!

    This is my first experience with Craftsman and I'm honestly not sure how to feel. On one hand, the…read morefinished product looks absolutely immaculate. I would never be able to tell that someone hit my car, dented it, and scratched it while parked. But on the other hand, I was expecting to get my vehicle back within, I would say, 3 to 5 days, and ended up getting delayed by a little over 2 weeks. Luckily, I'm in a position where I freelance and work from home, so that wasn't too much of an issue, although it still was with errands and such. But a lot of people need to commute, and 2 weeks is a long time to pay for a rental car. I decided against that since even with a discount, it would still be a lot for a rental. So just keep in mind that they do good work, but I do feel that it was quite slow, most likely because, unfortunately, it's a mega service center for insurance companies, so a lot of people get referred here, and so there's a lot of people in the queue in front of you. That said, considering how many people were in the queue in front of me when they were finished with my car, I was impressed with the attention to detail. I didn't feel like I was skimmed over for probably the next 10 people next in the queue. Funnily enough, while this is happening, and other family member's car had an issue where the air conditioning broke. They took it into Pet Boys and got it back faster than I got my car back, but were much less satisfied with the service than I was with Craftsman. So another thing is, as long as the part is still being made, I have a lifetime warranty on the parts and service and paint and everything that was conducted. So that's huge. It almost makes it worth the 2-week wait. I just would have appreciated a bit better communication on why the delays were happening rather than, hey, it looks like it's going to be delayed. Is it delayed because there's a lot of people in front of me? Is it delayed because they're waiting on a part to ship? Because there was multiple delays, and although there's not really much I can do about that, I think you should give the customer a more detailed response explaining why an error has occurred rather than just saying there was an error. The error being the delay. So just know that Craftsman will do a great job, but you might be waiting half a month for your vehicle back.
