My 2003 Dodge Dakota was starting to show signs of wear with the clear coat peeling away from the hood. I also had some dents on the tailgate and rails as well. With this being said, I decided to have my hood repainted and body work prepped for a new sprayed in bed-liner. I called around to a few shops and it seemed that they weren't interested in doing this type of work, since it wasn't an insurance claim. I was shocked to learn this and kept looking. I was very happy I found Kaled NW. Benjamin and his crew answered all of my questions and didn't hesitate to provide me with an estimate for my needs. Once the work was completed, I was blown away from what my truck looked like then, compared to now. It's a new truck! The attention to detail and customer service is outstanding. I'm certain once you speak with Benjamin and provide the details needed for your vehicle, you'll have the same experience I had. Give them a call and schedule an appointment. You'll be glad you did.

I received an acceptable quote and scheduled to bring it in. It was inspected by the owner and said there was more work than anticipated and will cost more than what was quoted. Understand that I didn't disagree with the owner, he explained very well what needed to be done, how much work was involved and was very fair in the cost. But this was just a work truck and the damage didn't interfere with the operation and didn't look too bad. I just didn't see investing much in an older truck. Bottom line is, don't rely on an online quote but I would still consider Kaled. They appear to be a very reputable company.

I took my car into Gateway Body Shop with body damage on multiple panels in front, sides, and back caused by a driver going over 50 mph (in a zone with a much lower speed limit) who ran into both my neighbor's car and my own when they were parked on the street. Many panels were replaced and the frame was also aligned and straightened. Gateway's cost came in under what other body shops had quoted. It looks better than it did before the accident and rides straight and true. Thank you, Ken, and all the people at Gateway Body Shop for such skilled work!

They had a very family like feel the entire step of the way. It felt like they legitimately cared, like you called your uncle for help or something. My wife was rear ended on the 84, the other driver was at fault. ACP came and towed us to their shop and they were very nice and helpful during the stressful situation. Their communication was excellent the whole time. Their quality of work is spot on. I was there when they opened one morning and all the guys showing up seemed happy to be showing up to work... The shop might not look super impressive on the outside but it's filled with great people who do good work and care about their customers, it's an increasingly rare thing these days. I would recommend these folks to anyone.

Failure to do so may result in additional costs and time-consuming rework. I experienced this inconvenience firsthand when I brought my vehicle in for minor repairs, including a dent and scratches. Despite my vehicle being in good working condition, the repairs ultimately caused malfunctions in my electronic key prompts, door locks, and keyless entry system. It appears that an issue arose during the disassembly and reassembly process, which affected my vehicle's electrical system. Although the service center claimed to have consulted with an electronic IT specialist, they were unable to diagnose the problem. We were advised to seek assistance from my own purchase vehicle shop, with the possibility of reimbursement if the issue was deemed to be the service center's responsibility. However, this would necessitate my assumption of responsibility for rentals during diagnostic time, incurring several hundred dollars in out-of-pocket expenses for diagnostic services, excluding the cost of repairs. I now still driving my vehicle unfix. I'm thoroughly disappointed with the outcome, which has created a new problem following the initial repair. The one positive aspect here is the expediency of the repair time.

It was my husbands car, he passed away, and he took advantage of me. I had to send the buyer some money back because I felt so bad. He finally said I have a box for you, I picked it up and it was a lot of the missing parts from the car, but of course in bad condition now. He cost me a lot of money on this deal. He robs Peter to pay Paul, and he does not make good on his deals. I am trying to get a hold of him and he will not take my calls. People steer clear of this crooked dude.

Excuses though that time started with I have roof leaks, need to move may shop, my kid got into wreck, and flat out his busy and my project is not his priority. After that flat out lies. I had to hire another person to order parts, drive to his shop ones a week and babe sit Alex in order to get him to do anything. At this time 2 years past i had to bribe him to get car done with additional 5K. Picked up my car couple days ago. Every possible light that can be on from wreck is on, car makes weird noses when try to turn. Paint work is horrible, they literally used white out on dent at both doors. Multiple different plastics inside the car broken. Car is not reacting to multiple controls. AC in not working. At this time I'm going to find someone to fix work Alex worked on. In conclusion Alex lied though the whole project. Alex has not completed project stole money and even worse then that he stole my time. He is the most deceiving, dishonest person I've ever meet in my life. I would highly recommend to stay aways from any of shops he runs and or works for.

Stress level: through the roof, since I was leaving town the next day. Cue frantic phone calls. My friend finds Claro Auto Body--conveniently near the airport, slightly less conveniently in a neighborhood with some, let's say, local color. Driving in, it's like a Netflix doc in the making: dogs chained to vans, a leftover mattress in the middle of the road, interesting... people. Thank goodness it was daylight. But at the end of the road, literally, was our salvation: Claro's shop, guarded by a gate and a very regal cat named Kitty who clearly runs the place. Claro himself was an absolute gem. He checked out the damage and quoted me a price so fair I had to double-check I was still in the right universe. Cash in hand, he promised he'd make it like nothing ever happened--and poof, next day: magic. The car looked brand new, as if the curb and I had never had our ill-fated encounter. To sum it up: Claro, sir, you are not just a body man. You are an auto artist. A wizard of wheels. A sultan of scratch removal. 10/10 would risk the neighborhood wildlife again to get that level of service.
