I had a small incursion into another vehicle in my car and also needed to touch up some stuff before it went back on lease. I had previously used Fix Auto in San Francisco and they were excellent but since moving east I decided to give their franchise-mates here a go. It did not disappoint. Within minutes of selecting them as my bodyshop I received a phone call from them asking when I would like to come in for an estimate, we agreed on a time and I took the car down where they quickly estimated not just the insurance work but also the amount it would cost to fix the little boo-boos here and there that would cause consternation at lease return. For less than a grand out of pocket I had everything rectified to a very very high standard. During the time the car was in for repair they kept me constantly updated and finished the car six days earlier than promised. We were delighted to be reunited with our electric Hyundai. They also worked directly with Enterprise rent-a-car to have our loaner dropped off and picked up. Communication was A+ The quality of the work was A+ The cost of doing the work was also A+ Literally no notes. They also had some lovely classic BMWs in for paint and restoration. This was a great sign because it is one thing to take your leased car in for bodywork but if someone entrusts their 50 year old classic to them, that is all the references I needed. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Fix Auto Berkeley after my Nissan Maxima was stolen and returned with body damage. I can't express enough how impressed I am with their service and dedication to restoring my car to its former beauty. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Justine and Eugene were incredibly pleasant and professional, guiding me through every step of the repair process. They took the time to explain what needed to be done, ensuring I understood each detail. Their patience and knowledge made me feel confident that my car was in good hands. The quality of the work was outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure my Maxima looked as good as new. The attention to detail in the repairs was remarkable. It was clear that they genuinely cared about restoring my car, not just fixing it. Throughout the process, Justine and Eugene kept me updated on the progress, which was incredibly reassuring. Their commitment to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction. I left the shop not only with a beautifully restored car but also with complete confidence in their work. I highly recommend Fix Auto Berkeley to anyone in need of auto repair services. Their professionalism and dedication truly set them apart. Thank you, Justine and Eugene, for making this experience as smooth and satisfying as possible! read more

They were so sweet! I went with a broken trunk piece they didn't have it but for free checked it out and gave me some tape to get me home safely. read more

Second time doing business with Fix Auto, and I could not be a bigger fan. The front end of my car was damaged in an accident (not my fault!). We took the insurance offer that involved keeping the car to Eugene and asked if he could fix it for that price. He said yes and gave us an estimate that was less, allowing a cushion that we used to have him fix wear-related issues not related to the accident. Great communication as we went, and the result is a car that looks like new and is in better shape than before the accident. Before you take an insurance offer to total a car, check with Eugene first! We'll also be using him to repaint a different older car. Thank you, Eugene!!! read more

Eugene and his staff have been outstanding. They were courteous and thorough in providing me with all the details I needed in getting the work done. Highly recommend. read more

Jimmy and Justine were great at communicating during 2 separate accidents in 3 months. Worked with all insurances involved and helped me navigate the process. read more

Did a great job repairing my bumper for my Mini Cooper. Looks as good as new! I'd definitely consider going here again.

I dropped by to get a quote to fix my mirror..and they fixed it on the spot for free. I felt like a valued customer and I LOVE this place!

I recently brought my car into Fix Auto Berkeley after several years of watching the original paint slowly fade away. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. I met with the owner, Eugene, who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable. and made the entire process smooth and stress free. The team at Fix Auto did a fantastic job on the car. The new paint looks flawless. I truly appreciated the quality of their work and the excellent customer service. I highly recommend Fix Auto Berkeley. read more

I needed my right rear view mirror replaced. I got estimates from 3 shops , picked this one because of the people. Yinmi Alas was my evaluator and he did a great job explaining my choices and was very pleasant to work with. Justine in the front office was knowledgeable and nice. The work was done when they said it would, and my car looks great. I would use this business again! read more

They were able to completely remove the surface scratches on my black Subaru. Plus they did the job in less than a day and all the staff were friendly and service oriented. I would definitely go back if I had a problem with my auto body in the future and highly recommend. read more

I had my vehicle repaired at Fix Auto Berkeley in November 2023. When I went in for the estimate I specifically mentioned the washer fluid reservoir/bottle needed repair as it had drained when the issue happened. They said they would make sure to review during repair as I mentioned it after the estimate came through as well. Imagine my surprise when I took my car for standard service, and the technician noted that the washer fluid reservoir was cracked. The message didn't come on because of where the crack was in relation to the sensor. I'm super mad that even though I specifically mentioned this on multiple occasions (estimate and drop-off), they didn't take care of this, and now it will cost me $306 to repair. I will be sharing this feedback with USAA as well. read more

I had some repair work done at Fix Auto Berkeley. The cost seemed reasonable, as did the timeline for repairs. However, subsequently, the timeline kept getting pushed back; finally, as I had travel scheduled--that I had rescheduled twice to accommodate the timeline getting pushed back, I said I needed my car back. They told me that they would complete the repairs by the EOD that day. I picked my car up and everything looked fine, but the first time I got on the freeway to drive the car, about 30 minutes into the drive heard a loud scraping noise coming from the car. I pulled over as soon as I could, alarmed and not sure what was going on, and discovered that my entire guard in the front, and in the back where they had done repairs, was coming off. Not only was it completely torn because it had been scraping on the road while I was driving, but also it had scraped up the entire front of the car where I had just spent over $4,000 to get it repaired. Looking through my car, I found what seemed to be leftover and used nails, nuts, and bolts on the backseat and in the trunk of my car, which to me suggested that they hadn't put the guard back on securely and that they had forgotten to put that part of the car back together. The entire guard is ruined, the front of my car is scraped up, the car is not driveable, and I am going to be out extra money for car rentals, a tow, and a significant amount of my time. When I called them to tell them about the issue and request that they a) fix the car and the damage caused by the faulty repair; and b) request that they cover the cost of renting a vehicle for the time that the repair would take; and c) tell them that this issue caused me to miss out on an event with family and a ticketed event, where tickets I paid for went unused, they were rude, cut me off, and said they wouldn't do anything until I they saw the car and I could prove that it was the shops's fault. Again: THE SCREWS FROM THE GUARD WERE IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. Please consider taking your car somewhere else. read more

First time at Fix Auto and they were so kind!!!! The turnaround process was only 4 days, super easy to work with, and such kind people. I got a good scratch at work, and they ensured they would get this fixed quickly. Jimmy and Justine made the process so smooth and were on top of the updates, sending me texts every day about my status. My car even got a wash and the floor mats were cleaned! I would absolutely return as a customer. read more

I visited fix auto on two occasions recently to fix a big scrape along the side of my car and also to fix a small dent on the front bumper. I worked with Jimmy who went above and beyond to be communicative, kind, and helpful. My car looks good as new and I have recommended fix auto to all of my friends and will absolutely take my car back if I ever have to in the future! read more

Very professional, great service. Eugene, Justin and Jimmy are a good team. In addition to a nice job on fixing the bumper of my car, I was happy to see that the car was washed too. read more

I gladly recommend Fix Auto Berkeley to anyone who is looking for great service , and i don't say this lightly. Fix Auto goes far and beyond of the expectations of the clients. To start Yimi (who by the way speaks Spanish) and Justine are very dawn to earth people and immediately make you feel welcome. They are consistently on top of every single aspect of the whole process. I felt totally taken cared of when they explained to me the process and the specifics of the job done to my car which by the way was returned almost like new. I actually doubted for a minute if it was my car after the job they did. The value was surprising to me because i expected it to be higher. Super reasonable and affordable. Not just all this but at the end when i went to pick up my car they even offered for me to drop off at their facility the rental car I was driving during the few days they worked in it. They also took care of that for me. No need for me to return it to the agency. The last thing i was very happy with , they installed a door protector i was just asking where to get it. Randy took care of it in 5 minutes and my car was ready to go. I am very pleased to have met them and I will surely continue doing business with them. Great Job Fix Car of Berkeley! read more

I got in a fairly major rear end accident which nearly totaled my car. Damage through 3 layers of the bumper, trunk, and floor, but not frame. Eugene and Jimmy both helped me a lot, every step of the way. Them and the entire staff were helpful, professional, and fair. While I got estimates from multiple shops, I wanted to go with someone independent and also who listened to my individual situation and treated me like a person not just a number, and Fix did that. The car looked absolutely pristine when I picked it up. I would return for other work or recommend it to anyone. read more

It's never a good experience to have your car damaged in a hit and run, but Fix Auto made the whole repair experience as easy as it could possibly be. Their customer service is top notch!! Every person I interacted with was friendly. Everyone knew their job well, communicated well, or knew where to direct me for the answer. Jimmy A. was kinda my point person from start to finish and was great to work with. Fix Auto Berkeley interacted seamlessly with my insurance company and kept me informed about the process. The timeline they projected was totally accurate. My car looks brand new (on the side that got repaired!) ;) I'm thinking about going back just to have some paint touched up. I highly recommend this auto body shop, They're the best! read more

Shoddy workmanship.  They don't bother to inspect before releasing.  The Shop Owner tried to blame the insurance company??  What?   I had to take time out of my schedule to return a second time.  I won't be returning. read more

Been meaning to write a review for this place for the longest time!! Everyone here was extremely professional and courteous. The work done was exceptional and well beyond what was expected! Also done sooner than expected! If I'm ever in an accident again, I'm coming here!!! read more

My car was damaged in a hit and run incident. Fix Auto took a look and gave me an appointment to bring the car in. When I took it in, I was given a 3 day time frame in which the work would be completed. Over the time during which work was being done, I received regular texts apprising me of work progress. The work was completed exactly when they said it would be, and they not only sent a text, but followed up with a phone call to let me know I could pick up the car! The staff, from office workers to mechanics, are very friendly, especially Coco, who sits at the customer service window, and they exhibited care for my particular concerns, and took time to reassure me. I'd absolutely recommend Fix Auto for any body work your vehicle needs! read more

This is a long overdue review - Fix Auto Berkeley was able to see me the same day to look at my car after an accident and I was able to drop off my car that same week after they got the parts in. The day I dropped off my car, I came when they opened, since I am not from the area and needed to be at work that afternoon. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. I had to fix my front bumper because of an accident, they finished it the same day I dropped it off - I dropped my car off in the morning when they opened and they finished in the afternoon. I would say the bumper was 90% attached because it was still kind of popping out a bit, from what I was told this was how it is since I did not go through insurance and I was paying out of pocket. Also, my headlights seemed foggy after the work done on my car, but I was told that it was the lighting from the sun - I monitored it that evening and the next day in the shade, it was not from the sunlight because it was still foggy. Overall, I would say the experience was 3 - 3.5 stars. read more

Josh and all of the staff at Fix Auto Berkeley have been nothing less than excellent and perfect. My car was hit on the right front fender, and the moment I brought it into their shop, I immediately felt that I was in the best place I could be in to have by my car fixed. Josh and the staff were friendly, relaxed, welcoming, and reassuring. They knew the drill, and worked directly with my insurance company without me lifting a finger. They obtained the parts needed with no fuss or problem, and once the part came in and I brought my car back in, it was fixed and ready back to me fast in no time. Josh even assisted me to fix another separate minor dent on the side of my car (not included in my insurance claim) for a very reasonable price - he worked to bring that price down for that separate minor dent coming from my own pocket by consulting another less expensive dent repair fixer. And everything was fixed perfect, like new!!! Thank you very very much, Josh and staff. If ever my car gets hit again (hopefully not), I know where to go!!! read more

I had a gap in my relatively new car (2020) from a car accident. It was a frustrating situation that was exacerbated by the fact that I had a difficult time scheduling an appointment with body shops, which happened because there were a lot of accidents recently (apparently all of them were full). But I was really happy I got this appointment with Fix Auto Berkeley, because they took care of the car from the initial assessment to the final clean up. Alondra was really helpful and very pleasant to work with, which is a huge plus after an annoying car accident. I greatly appreciated her patience in explaining everything! And my car, which had this gap and several unsightly scratches, looked shiny and amazing after the repair. All these 5 star reviews must mean something good is happening here-and my 5 star review was also well warranted. I would come here again for other body shop issues!! read more

The team over at Fix Auto Berkeley know how to service customers the proper way! I was getting my front bumper/grill replaced and some minor scratches on top of the hood removed after the neighbor backed into my car. Initially I had gone to another body shop on Durant Ave then decided on Fix Auto. They're friendly and knowledgeable and I didn't get the feeling either one of them was pressuring me. Bruce even went out of his way to get an OEM grill replacement without overpaying and notified me the same day! (The other body shop on durant ave was planning to use an aftermarket grill) Genevieve was super cool, she let me pick up my dogs harness and leash in the middle of the repair work! She and the technician didn't even seem bothered by the interruption, thank you! Pros: - Excellent body work - Opens on Sat - No upsell - No pressuring on any scale - Provides step by step on their process handling claims/insurances, the body work repairs, and final timelines. - Replaced both rear brake light bulbs-- FREE ! (Eugene and technician spotted a defect, electric wires had been previously sliced and glued back together by someone) - Courtesy call reminders and follow ups (This seems to be a problem with the bigger body shops, not with Fix Auto Berkeley) - Car washed and interior vacuumed--FREE - Car rental pickup/drop off Cons: Parking can get complex after 3p. read more

My parked car was hit, caving in my front bumper. I went to Fix, and Bruce quickly got me an estimate, which was very reasonably priced. They were able to order a new bumper and prep it without needing to hold onto my car during that time, so I was only without my car for less than 36 hours! This was even faster than the original time estimate, and the price estimate held true as well. I was really happy with the final product - it looks like new! And they even vacuumed the inside of my car, which was a nice touch. I hope I'll never need auto body work again, but if I do I'll be back! read more

Fix Auto Berkeley - Body Shops Near Me - Berkeley, California

Stay away, even if recommended by your insurance. A simple bumper and fog light replacement went from 5 days to 10 days and counting. More parts kept needing to be ordered 10 days after I dropped my car off and of course they kept billing my insurance. read more

I just got my car back from Fix Auto on San Pablo Ave. In Berkeley CA. I can not say enough good things about the service and quality of work as well as Getty my car done early saving me money on my rental. From beginning to end I was guided and taken care of by Alandra. She helped me with my rental as I could not get a answer on the phone had them pick me up and when work was completed arranged to have them pick up the car from fix auto. Saving me time and money. The actual repairs are top notch. I've been blown away by the quality of work and excellent service. I highly recommend Fix Auto in Berkeley. Kudos to All Sincerely Florence Ostermann read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE TO THE MAX. these guys are legitimately professional and are in it for the loyal customer not to steal your money. They are honest and very meticulous about perfection. They offer solutions and alternatives that are helpful and only what you need. Very unique for a body shop Dino is amazing and Genevieve at the office is super helpful and nice. Hope I don't need to come back but if I do need body work I'll come back here read more

I got rear ended and took my car here to get repaired. The winter after that I noticed water was leaking into my trunk but it took me a long time to get organized and realize the bumper replacement might be part of the problem. I brought it back today and even thought it was 2 years later, Jimmy took care of me, free of charge. I appreciate it. read more

My catalytic converter was stolen out of my car and Fix Auto Berkeley found the part for my car that was originally discontinued, and they fixed the vehicle within 24 hours. I highly recommend the shop! What really set it off was Coco, Her communication was on point!!! read more

It has taken a few years to write this review, but all these years later, I am STILL needing to share that this place was amazing!! Dino in particular was a fabulous help, and actually listened to and addressed my concerns. After my Mazda 3 hood met the backend of a Highlander (which suffered no damage at all), I had not one but three crappy experiences with another auto body shop in Richmond that continued to not do simple things...like repaint the hood without over 20 specks of lint scattered across it. After having them redo the job a couple times, I told my insurance we were firing them and moving elsewhere. Cue Fix Auto, a shop I'm really bummed is so far away now, as I currently live in OR! But, Dino was kind, receptive, and knew his game. The office crew was kind and informative. Dino took one look at the car and not only saw what I was talking about (without making it sound like I was being unreasonable with actually wanting my car to be repaired right) and knew what to do. Then they did it, to perfection. Service was friendly, fast, and excellent work, and bonus, no talking over your head just because you're a woman. Thank you Fix Auto! read more

They took about 2 mins to look over my car to come up with a ln estimate for my insurance company. A person came out and took like 5 pictures. No one looked at it thoroughly and they sent us in our way with the car (they didn't keep it to look more thoroughly). They came back with a $4000 estimate that sounded very low. We took it to another more reputable place that came back with a $16000 estimate! Will never go to Fix again. Stay away. read more

So, as they say, I was "hit by a stationary pole" and wiped out the entire drivers' side of my 2012 CRV! I immediately contacted my insurance company for a quote to get it repaired. To my surprise, my favorite body shop, Fix Auto was not a preferred vendor. No worries! I had my vehicle repaired there before, when they were called "Precision Auto". I already knew they would do a great job on my vehicle. I arranged an appointment in advance with the technician, Dino. Sure enough, he ensured my satisfaction by making my vehicle look better than it did when I brought it in. He worked seamlessly with my insurance company, and the rental car company. He also ensured I experienced as little disruption in my life as possible with this car repair. The shop even gave me the same warranty that the insurance company's "preferred" shop would've given me. They kept me updated on the repair status, and my vehicle's body work was completed beautifully and on time. Kudos to Eugene and Dino for running a great repair shop and keeping customers happy! I highly recommend this shop for auto body repairs. The crew there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly as well! Geico, are you listening? Add this shop to your preferred vendor list ASAP! read more

Just got back from Fix Auto Berkeley (San Pablo location). I thought our car used to look nice (before we were sideswiped) but I'm in awe of how good the car looks after the repairs. It really looks better than new. There were a few things about Fix Auto that really stand out - (1) they are paired with our insurance company and the two communicated daily with updates about the completion date, covering extended rental car fees, and covering the cost of extra work needed, (2) Danielle at the front desk is very kind and very organized (read: the Fix Auto linchpin), (3) Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure our repairs were comprehensive. This included fixing parts of the car that weren't directly involved in the accident but were necessary to ensure the car runs smoothly. The full cost of the extra work was still covered in the original estimate and the car came out better than when it went in even pre-accident. read more

All body shop work is more expensive than you think, but they really do do magic. My car is flawless after some nasty parking lot escapades. They were very thorough and nice to deal with. As a woman I hate going into car dealerships and repair shops, but they were really nice especially the front office ladies! read more

I had a really good experience with Fix Auto Berkeley. They fixed up my Prius after I got rear-ended. The staff were very professional, fast, communicative, and friendly. I would definitely comes back here again if my vehicle is damaged again but hoping I won't need to! read more

Excellent all the way around. Kept me informed. True to estimate both in terms of money and time. Seamless interaction with State Farm. Good covid safety precautions. I hope I don't need body work soon, but when I do, I'll go back here. read more
