This place was PHENOMENAL!! From beginning to end! I got rear ended , I was nervous ... I've never been in an accident or had to go thru insurance. I wasn't sure what to expect buuuuut this place was so helpful and accommodating. The nice lady in the office made me feel welcomed and helped me with the rental car situation! One of the employees, I think his name was Danny,was so sweet and attentive . He assured me that all would be taken care of and his fun outgoing personality eased my anxiety . The following week when I picked up my car, it looked BRAND NEW!! Repairs had been completed and they even gave me an A1 car detail !! What a great experience ! Keep up the great work Guys! I'm referring this place to everyone I know . Unfortunately my bumper got slightly clipped by a careless driver last week. Typically I'd be stressed and furious about the unfortunate situation , but knowing that I have this place to help me out again, eased my frustration. See you guys soon :) read more

A truck hit my Tesla and left a huge dent. I paid some random guy to fix it, who did a terrible job and actually left holes in the car. First Class completely redid and fixed the problem by welding the holes shut, sanding it down, and repainting it perfectly to match. Attention to detail top notch. Car now looks completely new. Best customer service ever too, from start to finish. Before, during, and after pictures attached. read more

First Class Auto Body does fantastic work. They have worked on my AMG Mercedes and do absolutely great bodywork and paint work. I am extremely particular about my vehicle, and Oscar, Daniel, and their team exceeded expectations. I have recommended them to several people and will continue to do so. read more

First Class Auto Body performed exactly as described in its name. First Class quality work, First Class people, and First Class customer service. The Team there were very attentive and took extra time to explain every step of the insurance process, in detail, to my wife. I think this Body shop is fairly priced and competitive for the area. I've taken my wife's car here twice for different reasons and both times the work performed was well done and in a timely fashion. Thanks for keeping up the good work, First Class Auto Body Team! read more

From using my insurance to fix when my catalytic converter was stolen to my most recent quick bumper replacement when someone swiped me when parking, for many years now, First Class Auto Body has taken the best care of me, my family and friends! I went through 3 places previously and always felt awkward for one reason or another. With First Class Auto I can depend on excellent service, a fair price, and they're never trying to upsell me. The front desk is also friendly and clear when making payments. My favorite part though is that I get an amazing car detail when the cost of the service is above a certain threshold. read more

Amazing quality and work. Both my boyfriend and myself used this auto body shop after getting into separate accidents. Their work is phenomenal and they are super detailed. They worked with me on my car because insurance would only cover a certain amount and I didn't want to spend a lot out of pocket and my car came out looking brand new. Highly recommend coming here if your car needs work! Would 100% use this place again. read more

Had the unfortunate luck of getting hit by a driver and this body shop came highly recommended by my brother in law. I'm so glad I went the route of choosing First Class instead of using my insurance's options. My car looks better than new! Thank you to the whole team and especially Gladi who kept me up to date on the status of my car. read more

Don't go here. After getting into an accident I thought this was the best choice, I was wrong. They did a half ass job, and one of my rims were returned to me scratched and scuffed. After talking to the "owner", he said that was already there and walked away as if he was in a rush. They also left a weird noise coming from my car because they didn't have a "stereo guy" when it was obviously not the stereo. Just weird and do not recommend at all. Really made me feel like they didn't care whatsoever. read more

FANTASTIC service! Quick, friendly staff and talented repairmen. Did a way better job than expected! Save yourself time and get the job done by PROFESSIONALS! They really were 1st Class all the way through the whole job read more

I found out about this body shop though some older co-workers from Honda Headquarters. They all had great reviews and the physical work to show on their cars looked great! I brought First Class Auto Body my 2017 Civic Type R, which was purchased from Copart, as a Salvage title (totaled) car. My intention with the car was to repair it and turn it into a demo car for my custom parts I make for my company. Casale Design LLC. When the car was towed to First Class, Daniel and Oscar right away got to work on giving me detailed estimates on the repairs to be done. I specified that I would be supplying some of my own parts (OEM new and used) for the repairs. They were perfectly ok with that! The staff was always welcoming to me and friendly every time I visited the shop. I enjoyed talking to Daniel about cars, food and sports! He has a great sense of humor! The engine was overhauled (removed) and the car was first straightened on their frame machine. Then, the driver side frame rail and driver side apron components were removed (damaged) and new OEM Honda components were jigged and welded in place. Daniel would text and call me with every step and would always ask me specifics on how I wanted things done. (most of the repair photos attached were texted to be by Daniel). While this was happening I also came in and did some test fitting of my custom made parts on the car while it was waiting parts to arrive. To close, the frame was painted to match the existing, and the wheel well area was faded into the E-Coat to look factory. I also paid to have my existing engine harness repaired which First Class offered which saved me a bunch of money compared to buying a new replacement harness. I brought them a new OEM hood and Driver Fender which they paint matched, as well as blended the driver door. I brought them a used OEM front bumper which I repaired, and they surface prepped and painted as well. All in all I was pleased with the work. The engine was re-installed and the AC system recharged and a new condenser and radiator were installed. Also a new OEM core support I supplied and they installed. I opted to do the final front end assembly myself at home. I was happy they were willing to work with parts I brought to them. Not all shops are willing to do this kind of thing! Also, I will say that since this shop (in my opinion) is European focused, their hourly rates are a bit higher than other shops, but their attention to detail matches the price! They have a high certification rating as well to back their work up. If anyone wants to see my Civic Type R in person who is considering using First Class, I am happy to show you! :) read more

Reposting because I deleted my review (review was posted twice), but then "BOTH" reviews disappeared. Hence, the re-post below: This is a long overdue review. My car was with them around March 2024, so yes, this review is way overdue. Sorry for the delay Caruso Family! I have taken my vehicles to First Class Auto several times in the past and this time is no different. As always, Oscar, Daniel, and Laura were outstanding. And as always, my car came out looking better than I expected. They never stop surprising me! When I dropped off my car, it was damaged on several panels. It was a real downer, and I kind of lost my "love" for the car. However, once I got the car back, I immediately fell back in love with it. First Class made me remember why I liked my car (the curves, body lines, paint job, etc.). The quality of body work was phenomenal to say the least and they restored it back to its original state (actually it was even better now prior to its non-damaged original state). If you need body work and are anywhere in the Southern California area, it is worth your while to drop by this place and talk to them. I believe in that so much, that I continue to come here. There is a reason why First Class Auto Body has a 5-Star rating on Yelp. Come see why!!! They have exceptional professionalism, communication, industry expertise, and superb customer service. Thanks again Oscar, Daniel, and Laura. - Fred F. Anaheim, CA read more

I was involved in a minor accident where I got hit on the side of my car and I came here right away. I am more than happy to say this is my go-to Auto Body Shop.

If you ever get into any accident with your vehicle and you're searching for auto body shops, stop looking. These are the people you want to call. Thank you Oscar and 1st Class team! read more

Accidentally hit a pole a couple of weeks ago, and was looking around for a highly rated body shop to get some repairs done. Called up First Class Auto Body, and they were able to schedule my drop off within a couple of days. Dropped off my truck with ease, and they worked with my insurance while I waited. 3 weeks later, my truck looks good as new, and you can't even tell there was previous damage. Even detailed my truck for me before I picked up. Hopefully I don't have to go back, but if I ever do, these are the people to use! read more

Sadly my car was stolen a couple of months ago and when it was found, was in need of some body work. I chose this place because of the convenient location but would DEFINITELY choose them again because of the work they did. Their prices seemed fair. They also worked with my insurance company and finished the work within the promised time frame. Everyone that I had opportunity to interact with was kind, caring and professional. If I ever need body work done in my car in the future, I'll definitely be going here! read more

I was involved in a hit and run leaving my car with some pretty gnarly rear end damage. I must say, start to finish First Class truly exceeded my expectations. Even as I was waiting for my ride to the rental car company, Oscar offered to call me an Uber instead. Their customer service really is unmatched. In total, my car took 16 days, but it was so worth it. I was beyond happy with the work they performed, including the vacuuming and detailing of my entire vehicle! My car has honestly never looked better. Thank you First Class team- for treating me like an old friend and getting me back on the road. I will be recommending your services to anyone that asks. read more

I Yelp messaged at least 10 auto body shops in the Southbay for a quote, to have my aftermarket grill for my truck painted. I wanted the outer shell color matched white. I received a quote from 1st class auto body within 30 minutes! Super fast! And guess what, they gave me the best price. The old saying you get what you pay for goes out the window here. Because although the price was the most competitive among other shops, the job they did was on point. The white matched perfect to the truck, no damage of any kind upon pickup of the grill, and no overspray of any kind. Customer service doesn't get any better here from my experience. Laura the receptionist, was very courteous and prompt both on the phone and in person. Oscar & Daniel (brothers and owners I believe) are great down to earth guys running an honest and clean shop. Friendly, professional, and cool guys. If you're looking for body work, paint on parts, etc. look no further. I'll definitely be back and wouldn't use any other shop. These guys got it right! read more

I have recommended family and friends, and he has worked on several of my cars, please if you are looking for great results and great people, they should be your first call. read more

Recommended by insurance and they did a good job repairing our vehicle. It did take a bit longer than expected since a part was delayed.

Very rude business owner, constantly blasting and constantly begging me to remove my review. I feel harassed because this guy keeps talking, ! False review? , sheesh, whatever!! get over it. The damage is done, move on. And stop harassing me telling me to remove my review. Karma has its ways. Please don't let 1st class auto body take in your vehicle you might have more issues after they have done the repairs, now that I have more scratches on my car that I had before. I feel like I've been treated like a low 3rd class auto body customer because of this guys big mouth. It's pitiful that I had to spend more money just to fix this damn car. I feel like I was cheated on. read more

Thank you Oscar and your crew for the warm welcome and excellent customer service! I brought my 2005 Scion Tc in for paint work for the front and rear bumper along with a bad kink in the lip of my hood where someone back into me with a trailer hitch and took off. They got me a new hood and repainted my bumpers with a perfect color match. Their estimates are very competitive and work is flawless. I was so impressed by their work that I brought in my 2004 Camry for a few bumps and scratches for repair shortly after. They also do motorcycles!!! So I will be planning to bring my Yamaha R1 just for a new color change. I'm absolutely and completely satisfied with their work here! Highly recommended. read more

OK, I had a small fender bender(not my fault, just fyi) and AAA gave me a list of places they allowed for repair. I called down the list and the first several said I would need to make a reservation, bla bla bla. Come in in two weeks. I was like, no, I am getting this started today. I look on my list and saw First Class Auto Body. Never used them before. They said come on over. I did. They were super professional, like they had real procedures. I waited for them to check out the car. They took all my information and said they would email me with the quote and tell me how long it would take and get the approval from my insurance and then order and get all the needed parts. It took a few days. Like clockwork they re-contacted me and said to bring the car in to begin the work. They did. It looked perfect. I went in, signed the release paperwork and then Oscar came over and we chit chatted for a while and he explained how this family business, and they were living locally in the south bay and had been around for along long time. Not sure how long but I think decades. Super nice caring guy. Great business. No BS. Straightforward. Honest. Did what they said. On time. They care. Very clean shop. I just want to say thank you to you and your team Oscar. Up and down the line they care. When it happens again, cuz I know it will. It is LA of course. Someone will hit me or my family. I am taking our wheels back to Oscar and First Class Auto Body. TRUSTWORTHY. Thank you Oscar and team. Keep up the good work and happy to give you a shout out and praise. You deserve it. David B.

THANKS First Class Auto Body! I had a bunch of body shops around me and I wanted to go to the best. They were a little further than the 6 other shops near me but reading through the comments and ratings with pictures, I knew they had to be the one to work on my car. My case was a little weird. The first installation I had somewhere else was terrible so I gave them a call and explained my situation. Oscar answered the call and offered to check out my spoiler with his honest opinion if they will even accept the task. I came there and was warmly greeted by his brother Daniel and they saw how things were, it was not going to be a simple task and explained how it will be tackled and gave me a very reasonable estimate. Stoked I returned the day they told me would be best and they got started. I decided to stay there to do my work online and everyone from the Caruso staff were amazing. They were offering me water and food during my stay and consulted with me with ways to make sure my spoiler would be attached and stay attached. Oscar assured me it will stay in place and mentioned that if ever it got loose or something goes wrong, I should just bring it there and they will take care of it. I would also like to thank Mark, unfortunately I forgot the name of the other staff assisting with the work being done. Overall, I would highly recommend them for any work needed to be done on your car. They will be in my important list and I will get any future mods or repairs from them. The place was spacious and everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to. read more

I have never had to take a vehicle in for body work. After getting sideswiped a friend of mine suggested First Class Auto Body. This family owned business are the real deal. Professional, Courteous, and the craftsmanship is above an beyond anything I could have ever imagined. They are the paint and auto body shop of choice in the South Bay and Southern California. They even have a shuttle service. Monique who sits in the front office was my point of contact and she knows what she is doing and gets you in and out. From the free estimate and having my paperwork all ready. She is very professional and super nice. Thank you Monique. They even detailed my truck.
