I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the extraordinary service and quality of workmanship I received from G&C Auto Body in Benicia, California! From beginning to end, my experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I want to personally recognize General Manager James Thomas and Emmanuel "Mac" Jackson for making it such a positive and memorable experience. I brought my 2016 Volkswagen Jetta to G&C following extensive exterior damage that required attention to numerous scratches across nearly all of the vehicle's major body panels, along with dent repairs and refinishing. This was not simply a minor touch-up job. The scope of work involved multiple areas of the vehicle, requiring careful attention to detail, skilled bodywork, and professional paint restoration. THE QUALITY OF WORK WAS PHENOMENAL! When I received my vehicle back, I was genuinely amazed by the results. The dent repairs, scratch removal, paintwork, and overall finish exceeded my expectations. The transformation was remarkable, and the care taken to restore my vehicle was evident. I've included before-and-after photographs highlighting two particularly noticeable areas of damage: a dent near the wheel arch and a significant scratch on the driver's side of the rear bumper. These photographs represent just a small portion of the overall work performed, but they provide an excellent illustration of the quality of craftsmanship G&C delivered. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE! I especially want to recognize James Thomas and Emmanuel "Mac" Jackson. Both gentlemen demonstrated outstanding professionalism, courtesy, communication, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. James provided excellent leadership and made me feel confident that my vehicle was in capable hands. Mac was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and exceptionally helpful throughout the process. They listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and ensured that I felt informed and respected as a customer. What impressed me even further was how quickly the repairs were completed. My vehicle was ready sooner than I had anticipated, without sacrificing the outstanding quality of the finished work. That combination of efficiency and craftsmanship is something I sincerely appreciate. G&C AUTO BODY HAS EARNED MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION! In an industry where customers sometimes worry about repair quality, communication, and turnaround times, G&C demonstrated what an exceptional automotive repair experience should look like. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is not merely a promise. In my experience, it was demonstrated through their actions, professionalism, and results. I sincerely hope G&C's regional leadership recognizes James Thomas, Emmanuel "Mac" Jackson, and the talented technicians responsible for restoring my vehicle. Their dedication and craftsmanship deserve acknowledgment. Thank you, G&C Auto Body of Benicia, for taking such excellent care of my Volkswagen Jetta and delivering an experience worthy of every one of these five stars! THE GOLD STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE! read more

James was very professional and work was done extremely fast! Would recommend this business to anyone needing auto body work!

They were very professional and accommodating. It appears insurance companies like using them

G&C Auto Body was one of the recommended body shops by the insurance company I was dealing with. The general manager, Chris, did an amazing job in explaining how he will be working directly with the insurance company. Chris kept communications open and was always happy & helpful when I had to call him. Worked easily with my schedule. And now I am looking to possibly get some other body work done on my car. Would 100% recommend anybody looking for auto body work to give G&C Auto Body a chance. read more

In short, I had an accident with my new Toyota Tundra. My insurance company recommended G&C so I figured why not! As it turns out, the whole ordeal could not have gone smoother. I dealt primarily with Chris. As the repairs unfolded, there was substantially more damage than was 1st seen. He kept me informed, dealt directly with the insurance company, and got all of the "extras" approved and installed. The body work was top notch, and the only money out of my pocket was the deductible. Chris made the whole experience painless. 5 Stars!!!!! read more

G&C auto body is absolutely the best! Customer service is top tier. I've had 2 experiences with them and both were outstanding - they communicate on the daily with the status of your repairs with text & emails. I highly recommend them for any & all repairs. read more

Very nice and professional. Fast service. Car looks great! Second time taking car in for separate repairs. Thank you!

James was awesome and provided excellent top notch service. He was clear with his communication and provided consistent follow ups throughout the entire process. read more

Brought in my car through Farmers for a repair via insurance. Had a really great experience with AJ and the team. They are super communicative the whole way and handle all the interactions with insurance and the rental company. They got my car back to me faster than expected and it looks brand new. Big thanks to the team for helping our family! read more

My Cadillac CT5 was rear ended and my insurance recommended G&C in Benicia and the service was excellent. James and the rest of the team at the shop were able to get my car in at 8am and everything repaired the same day. I highly recommend this business to anyone in need of auto repair work! read more

A couple years ago I was involved in an accident and G and C did an outstanding job in repairing my vehicle. Recently, I had my rims refurbished and they turned out perfect. G and C does excellent work. Matt is wonderful and goes above an beyond for customer satisfaction, including transportation home. read more

My husband was involved in a solo accident driving back home from San Leandro to Suisun City in late January 2021 - during a rainstorm. Thankfully he was safe and had no injuries due to the accident. However, due to the heavy rain, he lost control of his car and hit the center median, which resulted in significant damage to the left front of his car. We called the insurance company the following day to set up a day and time to pick up the vehicle and tow it to the shop. There was some miscommunication initially because I was contacted for the repairs from the insurance company and G & C. After informing them that this wasn't my car, I suggested they call my husband to update him about the vehicle. Nonetheless, working with AJ and his staff has been stellar! AJ communicated with my husband weekly; provided updates about the car, parts they were waiting on, and the unfortunate delays because of Dodge of Concord and their staffing issues that they were facing. My husband was getting antsy because he missed his car, but we could pick up his car on Saturday. My husband was happy to see his other baby and finally drive his other car around. Again, AJ and his team did a fantastic job with the work they did on his car. My husband and I thank you for the outstanding work and communication you provided during this process. If you need a body shop to work on your car that provides terrific customer service, this is the place for you! read more

Mack provided great customer service by keeping me updated on the car's status. Work on the car looks clean.

Exceeded Expectations Underpromised and over delivered! This is my go to place for auto body work. They did a superb job fixing my hood and front bumper, and delivered ahead of time. Id used other auto body shops, and G&C ranks up there, at the top. Staff is very courteous and professional! I highly recommend them! read more

They did an amazing job on my car and provided excellent service!! I highly recommend G&C and so happy we have them in Benicia :)

Came in under an insurance claim, first time reaching out the shop they called my insurance and said they were not willing to do the work. The manager Chris spoke with me and approved my car to be worked on. Car gets worked on for about a month, picking the car up I tried to use my sunroof and it did not work(this was on my claim) I let the tech at the time know and they noted it and I contacted my Insurance as well and stated the shop would give u a call Monday morning. Payed my deductible and left the shop, I go to use my AC and no cold air? I reach out to my insurance again and they said same thing. Tuesday comes along and I haven't heard from the shop so I reach out to them to figure out what's going on. The manager Chris tells me you will need to wait until I'm back from my vacation (July 7) it's now July 14th and still haven't heard from him. I payed my deductible when my claim items were not finished, came to get the car with more issues than notice before and he ghosted me. Never come here. Chris is a liar. read more

I've had to bring my car here twice after running over debris on the freeway. Both times they were fast, reliable, professional, and did great repair work on my car. This last time I was treated very professionally from the very likable receptionist at the front desk, Brittany. She seemed to be able to multitask and take care of me at the same time without taking her attention off me until my needs were done. AJ, the magician in the shop who took care of my car like a pro was also super courteous. My car is back to what it was like it was never in an accident. Thank you to the talented magicians and professional team you have at G&C in Benicia. read more

Earlier this month I unfortunately hit a deer with my car and really messed it up. It was pretty traumatizing and the amount of damage to my car was unexpected. Not really something you want to deal with after murdering a deer. I contacted my car insurance, and they put me in touch with g&c autobody, it was perfect because it is five minutes away from my home in Benicia. AJ was very kind and I was able to get an appointment right away. My car was taken in, I got many updates on the progress of my car through text messages , it was finished on the exact day He said it would be done, and when I got my car back, it looked better than it did before I even hit the deer. it looks brand new. I'm very thankful for the smooth and easy process that G & C gave me. If any of my family or friends are having car troubles, I would definitely recommend. Thanks aj ! read more

AAA was having this place work on my daughter's car. Unsupervised young mechanic caught car on fire from a starter ignition switch. Once this happened they towed to a car dealership so they didn't have to take responsibility. Horrible place, cuts corners, long waits. People go here since it's in Benicia. Travel somewhere else to get your car worked on. Too many new mechanic's read more

Second time using G & C and both times bringing a vehicle here the work was impeccable! From the initial phone call to pick up day I cant say enough of how professional and service oriented this team is. Thank you so much for taking all the extra steps with me. You guys are top notch!!! read more

G&C Auto Body - Perfect repair!!! Thanks again!! - Body Shops Near Me - Benicia, California

2022 Supra Rear End Collission repair - TOTAL HEADACHES! Nationwide told me about the dropoff process and how pricing worked. Nationwide told me it was a simple dropoff, and I would have to pay deductible if the other party hadn't accepted fault (they already had.) Upon arrival to dropoff, AJ tried to collect $500 deductible up front. I was very quickly put off by his "this is my shop, my policies" statement. I told him I could take my business elsewhere if he didn't want to honor what Nationwide told me. He quickly changed course. My 2022 Toyota Supra was dropped off for a rear end collision it had no codes, and all tires were holding air. It was returned to me with a tire leaking air that was not leaking prior, and a code for an empty key battery. Everyone throwing their hands up saying not their issue. The body work was decent. I was also not supposed to pay a deductible and now have to wait for a reimbursement. Nationwide instantly issued me a check that I now have to wait 15 days for because there was little/no follow up by office staff here. I'm now on my 3rd day of trying to solve the problems this shop has left me with. Toyota is now telling me I have to take my new car to BMW. Every time I get in my car and hear the BMW Gong go off for an issue that wasn't there upon dropoff I feel more and more like this shop has ruined a car I wanted my whole life. There is nothing wrong with the keyfob or battery per Toyota. Now in an endless loop of trying to get this issue fixed. read more

They were quick and did a good job. However, the final bill was 33% higher than the quote. I didn't appreciate that.

This shop was recommended to me by my insurance carrier (State Farm) following a rear end collision involving my daughter. Working with G & C proved a great experience from the start. "Mack" walked me through the process over the phone, as I was out of state at the time. Never did he mislead me (phony time frames, etc), he just stuck to the facts. Early on, before parts had arrived, he suggested repairs could be expedited if my car was transferred to G & C's sister shop, Klimisch in Vallejo. I agreed and Klimisch did the hands on body work and paint. Ryan Skidmore of Klimisch supervised the job, and the results are excellent. It was refreshing to see two separate offices coordinate so well together. If I should need help in the future (hopefully DISTANT future) G & C will be my first call. read more

I brought my car in the morning to replace and fix the front bumper. After a few hours they called and my truck was ready to be home same day. Amazing and excellent team! Front office very accomodating too! read more

If I Could Give This Place A 20 Star I Would !!!! Aj Really Took Care Of Me And My Car !!! I Backed Into A Pole So It Damaged My Trunk .... It Was Pretty Bad To Where I Knew It Wouldn't Be Fixed In A Month. So I Knew I Would Have To Come Out Of Pocket For The Extra Days Or Even Month For Car My Rental Because My Insurance Only Covered 30 Days , But When My Car Got To Aj's Shop He Literally Made Miracles Happen !! And My Car Was Fixed In About 3 Weeks Or So, And He Went Above And Beyond !!!! From Driving Hours Away To Get The Parts For My Car Because It Was None In Stock Close By And The Ones He Would Of Have To Order Would Take A Long Time To Arrive To Cleaning It Inside And Out !!! He Did Such An Amazing Job, It Looked As If I Never Damaged Thank You So Much Again Aj !!! You Amazing. Sorry I'm a little late with the review but I keep my promises read more

I am working in Benicia from out of state. Had a fender bender & took car to G&C. Nice waiting area, Brittany at the front desk was amazing.

I highly recommend this shop if you need repairs! read more

I was rear ended and it was a tad overwhelming at 70 years old and not having had an accident in over 30 years, but in choosing G&C I hit the auto body shop lotto! From the GM, AJ, Manager, James, Top Gun painter, and entire staff they treated me professionally and with such kindness! My car looked beautiful after their professional attention to every minute detail to restore it to perfection! I can't sing enough praises to show how grateful I am! If you're in need of any body work, make this your first choice! You won't regret it! They make your "overwhelming" experience peaceful and restore more than your car! They restore your confidence in excellent business and excellent work all while restoring your peace and calm! Truly an Above and Beyond service moment! Thank you G&C! read more

Booked my car with G&C Auto through AAA and couldn't be happier with the service and results. James handled my estimate and was very detailed with the process. Mack handled the rest, kept great communication and made me feel reassured throughout the entire transaction. No doubt about it, I'll be recommending this shop to all friends and relatives in the future. read more

After a minor fender bender, Nationwide Insurance covered my repairs at G&C Auto Body, Benicia. I was completely satisfied and would definitely return there, including if I was paying for the repairs myself. AJ, one of the managers, was friendly, efficient and professional. He kept me posted about the status of the work, including a couple of minor glitches along the way, which he handled extremely well. And the quality of the work was superb. I very highly recommend G&C. read more

Amazing work!! AJ was great at keeping me up to date on all the work as well as any insurance hold ups. AJ was also extremely polite and helpful in person when it was time to pick up my vehicle. My Charger looks brand new!! No dents, no scratches...what accident!?! Haha! Love it!! Highly recommend!! read more

My car was hit the other day in front of my house. My rear bumper and tire were damaged beyond repair. I took my car into G & C Auto based on my past experiences with them and all the good reviews online. It didn't start off well! There were delays, the communication wasn't great, and the car was returned to me in less than acceptable condition. Parts were missing, bumper was loose, and the car was just left very dirty. I spoke with the manager AJ about it and he quickly got them fixed and got my car back to me the next day. If it wasn't for his commitment in keeping me as a customer, I would have never gone back to G&C. AJ truly understands the importance of customer service and what it takes to earn repeat customers. And while it didn't start off good, I will definitely be taking any future mechanic jobs to G&C. Thanks AJ read more

Car needed work after an accident. G & C was our choice. AJ and crew did a fantastic job! The work was done exactly as AJ explained it to me. He was on time, nothing was wrong. Office staff were friendly and efficient. My husband dropped me off but parked to come in and thank AJ! He said the car looked like it just came off the showroom floor. Super shiny they washed the vehicle. Would recommended this place too anyone needing work! Thak you AJ! read more

Shout out to Rick who did a great job realigning my bumper, which had been pulled out from going over a curb. I just happened to stop by this shop to see if they could repair without replacing. Rick worked on it right then. Looks like nothing had happened. Thanks Rick for fixing this while I waited, and for such an amazing job. read more

By all costs i will not recommend this place. My car was way better of before i got it in there. Just be forwarned. Not professional and extremely difficult to work with. I hate bashing local places but i went though this experience not being content. It's unbelievable at this day and age. No matter how i think about it. They just need to step up. There are other places that would treat you like a real customer that supports their business. I have no qualms after a month of deliberation. It actually upsets me to think about it. My vehicle was in better shape before i got it in there. Just be forwarned.. read more
