I had an amazing experience at Gold Coast Auto Body. I came in with light scratches and paint marks on the right side of my car, just hoping for an estimate. Amber took a quick look and surprised me by saying she could fix it right away--no charge. Ten minutes later, the scratches were gone and the car looked perfect. The team is professional, honest, and incredibly kind. The shop is clean, the waiting room is welcoming, and the service is truly customer‑centered. They don't work with insurance, but they do work with integrity. I highly recommend Gold Coast Auto Body. Thank you, Amber--you made my day! read more

Mitch and the team were great to work with. He was very honest about his recommendations of what work I should prioritize and what I should wait on. I was traveling and the team followed up with me multiple times to make sure I didn't get lost in the shuffle. I appreciate all the help and patience! read more

Fantastic experience. They took a look at my vehicle, and instead of full blown body work and painting, suggested a short cut that will cost me hardly anything....did that work within an hour and finally decided even against accepting payment. Mitch was great....and the lady at the reception was terrific as well. Honest, caring and genuine. Thanks. Appreciate your help. read more

Gold Coast Auto Body was the only thing that didn't suck about getting rear ended. Mitch at Gold Coast was very helpful in navigating my situation and options; he was honest, direct & compassionate. 100% Chicago in the best way. These guys are pros and if I am unlucky enough to need auto body work again this is where I'm going. It's also directly next door to Enterprise Rental which is helpful, and it's a reasonable walk to the Red Line read more

I just got my car back, and they exceeded all my expectations. My Audi is a shade of green and the paint and repairs look like they are brand new. There was a slight issue, and they jumped all over it and made sure we were 100% happy without arguing or anything. They did excellent work. Their initial estimate was a lot higher than my insurance company, and even though they weren't my insurance companies "preferred" supplier they worked with my adjuster without me getting involved. They went back and forth a few times, and the entire bill was covered without anymore out of pocket from me besides the deductible. Their communication is also top notch from the initial estimate to status updates on the car. I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. When they gave me a date on when they would follow up again they hit that, and they completed the car ahead of schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Gold Coast provided the amazing sevice to repair my car. They were very transparent about their pricing as an out-of-network provider for my insurance and gave me frequent updates on ETA and cost over the course of the repair. Hence, there was no surprise. All as expected. BTW, I had an issue a few weeks after the completion and had to bring my car back. It was actually due to the affiliated dealership work (ACC sensor calibration) and Gold Coast took care of the communication with the dealer and let them rework with no additional cost to me. Jose, Francesca and Mario are all nice and capable. Highly recommended! read more

Honest, professional, courteous & efficient. Not usually words I would associate with an auto body shop, but Gold Coast Auto Body has exceeded every single expectation I ever had of working with auto body mechanics & their support staff. First, you should know that the shop works on appointment only. Yet, when a piece of the underbody guard on my Acura became dislodged & was scraping on the ground, they took me with no notice because it was an emergency as I was leaving the country the next day for a month & couldn't drive home due to the noise/fear of causing damage to something mechanical. The entire staff was very polite, plus the facility is clean & comfortable if you have to wait for a repair. Making a repair appointment was also very efficient - Francesca contacted me via text to both set up an appointment & to let me know when the replacement part had arrived. But more importantly, they are HONEST & KNOWLEDGEABLE. Yes, written in all caps because again, this is an auto body shop so I cannot emphasize enough how unusual these qualities are. After the initial look at the damage a month ago, the team had ordered a replacement part. But, when they lifted my car, the mechanic took one look & decided that he could straighten out the bent part & re-secure it vs. replace it. The manager then said he would return the part they had ordered, instead of charging me the $150 cost. He then proceeded *not to charge me for the labor either*. For the second time. WHAT? Unheard of!! I offered to send a tip to at least cover their time but nope! I was taken aback at how honest & nice the entire team was. Not to mention they were FAST with the repair - I was in & out in under an hour. They now have a customer for life. Thank you to the entire team! read more

It gives me me GREAT pleasure to write this review detailing my AMAZING experience, when I went to Gold Coast Auto Body. This establishment was recommended to me by my Mercedes Benz salesman, after I discovered that someone had sideswiped my GLC 300, on the passenger side, front panel and partially on the bumper. I had gone to another auto Body shop where I was given two estimates: one for $1146 and another for $750 (after I questioned the charge). Furthermore, it would take 3 days for my car to dry from the paint job that was needed to cover scars that buffing might not remove. I left and went to Gold Coast, as I was originally advised to do, by my car salesman. I was warmly greeted by Francesca Martino. I explained the incident resulting in my car's damage. Francesca examined the damage and stated that the damage could easily be corrected by buffing the damaged portion of my car and applying a "touch up" to restore the color. She invited me to go into the waiting room, and she'd be back with me. I waited 20 minutes, and Francesca returned with my car FULLY REPAIRED--- no scuffs, no scratches! My car looked like nothing had happened to it. The damage completely vanished. I was so excited, I didn't care what the charge might be. Imagine my shock and surprise, when Francesca told me that there'd be NO CHARGE!! I don't know what she's being paid, but it's not enough. I vowed to tell everyone I knew about this establishment and the incredible Francesca that works there. I pray that God continues to instill more honest and dedicated people in places of business where consumers can feel that they are being treated with respect and dignity like Francesca and her colleagues. read more

This place is great. That being said, I had limited work done on my car and wasn't using my insurance (state farm). My dad had a run in with a bunch of stuff in a parking garage in my 3 year old, pristine car. My rear left side had taken a little damage and the left front higher part of the car. I made an appointment for a free evaluation and went in. They got right to my car and checked all areas of concern. They were clear about which parts they thought needed to be addressed (really none as it wasn't a high impact accident), and which parts were cosmetic (most of them). I decided to fix a piece of the trim on the front as it was an eyesore and it's a newer car. They quoted me a price for the part and labor and said they could have it done within the week. They explained that fixing the bumper and a small piece of the panel on the side would be more trouble than it was worth given that the function and structure of the car was fine. When I got home, they called and said the part was already in, scheduled an appointment for the next day and said it would take all of 20 mins to fix while I waited. When I went back the next day, true to their word they got me in and out in approx. 20 mins for $71. They were friendly, quick, and made a stressful thing less stressful. I will definitely be back if needed but let's hope it's not needed! Update: And my father needed a little work done on his older model car. Even though they don't normally handle "elder" cars, they took a look, found a solution to his bumper issue and took care of it while he was there. He's a hard man to please and was just over the moon with their customer service and can't stop raving about it. read more

Highly recommended. They provide great service and accommodation. I went in with a minor fender ding in a new car. They were very responsive with a cost-efficient solution. read more

I had some damage to my front bumper. The driver who caused the damage recommended that I go to Gold Coast. I easily got an appointment for an estimate. Then the frustration began. I called several times for information about status and never talked to the person directly. I left 10-12 voice messages with several people. Still NO return calls over a period of more than a week. I finally, gave up and went to a competitor for service. Very poor customer service! read more

My dad backed into my car on Thanksgiving out of state. This Monday morning, I was calling around looking for an auto body. I read rave reviews about the customer service at Gold Coast, so I thought I'd give them a call to see if I could schedule an estimate. At baseline, I greatly dislike car problems. I am that stereotypical woman who knows very little about cars, and I own that. I Google problems. I don't know how to describe things in technical terms. I always bring a member of the male species with me when buying a car because I know I cannot haggle for the best price. I won't pretend I know a lot about cars. I was hoping when I called that I'd have experience that great customer service I read about, but whoever answered was gruff and very dismissive. I was instantly uncomfortable. From our abrasive and short interaction, it wasn't worth giving them a second shot. I decided to have my car looked at elsewhere and have been very happy with how I have been treated so far in that process. I know it can be frustrating talking to someone who does not know the technical details of your job. I know it's draining to be patient with someone who cannot speak your same technical language. I deal with that all the time in my line of work too. I get it. However, I do not think there's a good excuse for being condescending. I know they've lost my business, and I sincerely hope other people in my shoes have a better experience than mine. read more

I was crushed when I parked too close to a bush and scratch the paint on my Honda Fit. Dominic, Mitch and Jose gave me excellent customer service -treating me like I was driving a luxury car.I am so happy with the results. I want to say a heart felt thank you to the team at Gold Coast Auto Body. read more

I took my car in for an estimate after my rear bumper was sideswiped. There was no damage to the body. It just needed to be painted. Gold Coast dismantled the backend of my car including the trunk, which was completely unnecessary, .and provided an inflated estimate. State Farm rejected the estimate and explained that this is why they no longer work with Gold Coast. When I told Gold Coast that my insurer would not cover the repairs they itemized, they tried to convince me to pay out-of -pocket which made no sense. When I told them I needed to take my car to a shop State Farm recommended, they refused to put my car back together unless I paid them $350. I have been recommending Gold Coast to friends and family for years. I have shared my experience with everyone and told to take their luxury vehicles to other highly reputable and honest providers. read more

I had a great experience here! The customer service was amazing! They gave me options for my scratch repair, and made it look significantly better within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that the person who did the consultation for me was transparent about the work that needed to be done but didn't pressure me to make decisions on the spot. He gave me the facts and showed me why he was recommending certain things so it made perfect sense to me (a non car person). He also considered more than just the scratches on our car like our lifestyle, our parking situation, our pickiness when it comes to imperfections, etc. when doing the consultation. I would highly recommend Gold Coast Auto Body! read more

I am very impressed by the customer focus of Gold Coast Auto Body. I took my car in for a quote and met with Mitch Doi. My car had small, but deep, scratches that went down to the metal. I was concerned that leaving the scratches untreated properly would result in bigger problems with rusting. It would have been very easy for Mitch to have sold me on the most expensive fix for a small problem. While he walked me through the likely cost and steps for a "perfect" fix, he suggested that the scratches were not that noticeable and that a more practical approach would be to paint them over with a couple of coats of matching paint from the dealer and keep an eye on the area. When I agreed to that strategy, he kindly made the repairs in a couple of minutes and refused to charge me for the work. There is always an anxiety when going into a specialist (whether it is a doctor or an autobody shop) that they could take advantage of a customer's relative ignorance to up-sell them on unnecessary procedures. It is always really refreshing to come across any business that is more focussed on getting to the right result for their customers. read more

Backed into a pole in a very tight parking garage. I tried to correct the damage and only made it worse causing wavy damage to my quarter panel, doors, and some of the wheel well. Upon reaching out to insurance, I was quoted 1 grand - judging the "before" photos you can tell it was very much not a $1000 job. I got quotes from 3 different shops. One agreed with my insurance company, One quoted me 6 grand (middle), and GCAB quoted me 8-10 grand with brand new parts. It took me months to make a decision and I ended up going with GCAB. Let me tell you why that was a good decision, even though I ended up paying a bit out of pocket. Some non-GCAB Issues: 1.) Insurance. They tried to get GCAB to install used quarter panels and used everything. Simple forum searches and a ton of research shows that used quarter panels are extremely hazardous. GCAB COACHED ME on how to contact insurance and how to get them to cover a brand new quarter panel. This saved me over 800$ in the end out of pocket, and I didn't even have to ask GCAB to help me, they did so before I even asked. Highlights: 1.) Communication. I was given deadlines and notifications weekly. I was told each and every step of the process with a scope of work, documents to back it up, and weekly calls. Nothing short of professional. GCAB also did NOT bad-mouth other shops, simply stating that they do great work and are proud of it. They did not sell me on their shop one bit. I'm going to touch on communication a bit more at the end. 2.) Process and expectations. There were no surprises. Deadlines were met. Complete walkthrough of their process with an underlying level of trust. I truly do not think that GCAB takes advantage of its customers. Told me a date of completion and they completed it prior to that date. I've never had this happen with car repairs. 3.) Craftmanship. I've attached photos. Enough said. Fantastic work. Drove 1600 miles after the car was fixed and it's been perfect. They even reglued/reattached weather stripping as mine was coming off some doors for free. GCAB does not use used parts. They have the mantra that when you get your car fixed, it should be like new. Without going on for too long, I would physically travel out of state to take my car here for repairs if I ever moved. It's hard to find a shop that gives a shit, and they do. After all was said and done I paid around 1500$ on a repair with an insurance dispute. money WELL spent. read more

Customer service, top-notch. GCA, and specifically Drew, helped me navigate the complexities of dealing with my insurance carrier in the end. I was able to get all my repairs addressed. Very professional, patient and great communicators; always keeping me informed. Drew is a treasure and a amazing ambassador for the brand! Vicki B. read more

The guys at Gold Coast Auto body are fantastic! I nicked the edge of my garage with my Audi RSQ8. Given all of the technology in the car it would have been over $3,500 to repair. They buffed it out and touched it up and it looks like new (see the photos). They know what they're doing with high end rides. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Go with the best! I highly recommend Gold Coast. Pleasure working with Francesca, Mario, Dominic and the team. Gold Coast was professional and easy to work with several years ago in interfacing with our insurance company for the highest quality repairs to our VW Beetle convertible. Fast forward from several years ago to today and Gold Coast was very helpful ordering a touch up paint kit for us (and not gouging us with pricey out of pocket repairs!) after our VW Tiguan's rear bumper was dinged up. This is a family owned Chicago business that cares about the quality of their work. read more

They are fantastic! They handled my car right away and made a fast repair at a no cost! Francesca is the best!! Excellent service, excellent quality, at a great price. Friendly people work there. read more

If you have State Farm insurance I don't suggest using Gold Coast. After a little hit and run I took my car to get an estimate which was almost the same as the approved vendor with State Farm. $4200 verses $4100. You sign when you bring the car on you are responsible for any charges not covered by your insurance. After the car was "blue printed" or taken apart what looked to be minimal damage went from $4200 estimate to $7000. if you use preferred vendor you have No out of pocket. Why do an estimated if you are 30% off? I had to agreed to an over $538 difference on top of the $500 deductible only to find out after the car was blueprinted the final supplement was short another $172. I will admit they do good work. I just wish. understood I was caught in the middle of what seems to standard practice when they deal with State Farm clients. I was pinned in between State Farm paying "fair" prices and Gold Coast. Gold Coast should have told me before giving them the car that it is typical to have a big out of pocket. I would have made a different choice if they were transparent. Not to mention, that I would run out of rental time (3 weeks) while trapped between Gold Coast and State Farm. The cost to remove the car once it was dismantled was 3k. So really once car is dropped off, you have no choice but to pay the amount they tell you. I have audited and forwarded State Farm explanation of pricing. I can't get an answer ever after the car was Blueprinted, to use their term, there is an extra $172. read more

I had a really good experience here and would highly, highly recommend them. It's the type of auto shop that you walk into and realize that they have things running well- clean, efficient, high quality work with clear communication. I got a crack in the windshield of my new Honda CRV and brought it here instead of taking it to Safelite, which was where the insurance company recommended that I go. Gold Coast had great reviews and when I got a consultation, they helped me understand that a windshield is more than just glass in most cars- it's a structural element and in most newer cars, it also has sensors in it that have to be calibrated. I knew none of this and they were great at walking me through it. They didn't do a high pressure sale or try to scare me into using them. As someone who is often skeptical of auto repair, I really appreciated the time they took to explain everything clearly and honestly. After doing additional research on my own and confirming what they were telling me was absolutely true, I realized it might be a bit more expensive (maybe 15-20%) to use them than a place like Safelite, but would be higher quality work and a true OEM part. I took the plunge and went with Gold Coast. During the repair process they were amazing and communicated clear pricing and timing- they stuck to both and handled getting the windshield sensors calibrated with the dealership. They were thorough and the work was done to what I believe was a higher quality standard with a higher quality part than if I had gone with Safelite. They even washed my car and it was spotless when I picked it up. Evident that they take pride in their work. I would also note that I drive a Honda CRV, which makes you feel good that they're not just catering to luxury vehicles. read more

I've worked with these guys once before and had a very good experience. Didn't quite get me into "review writing mode." But, I had a pretty great experience with them the other day. You all need to know that these guys are solid people. So, some alleged human backed into my car's front end pretty hard in a parking lot and split. The damage looked pretty cosmetic at first. But, as you know, you start looking at what bracket broke or electronic sensor got damaged... stuff can get expensive fast. In fact, my regular service guys said to take it to the body shop and thought I was going to be looking at $3k easy by the time all was said and done. (Plus, the hassle... What does that cost you?) Since I'd worked with Gold Coast before, I took that of the two options they offered. Got over to Gold Coast and Jose greeted me. Super professional, polite, and helpful guy. He explained that they didn't have any appointment times open that day, but they could take a quick look until the next appointment showed up. While I appreciated that, I just made an appointment for the next day to get a full estimate. When I got there the next day, Mitch came out right away to do the estimate. He inspected everything thoroughly. He then just started gently and expertly putting things back into place. Once he'd done that, it turned out that all we needed was a little glue to fix a small crack in a plastic mounting and a new part that covers some of the electronic sensors. He called the dealership and got them to pull the necessary part for me. They gave me Mitch's price on the part, like as in wholesale. He didn't even try to buy it and mark it up for me. Just sent me 1/2 mile over to get it myself for a big savings. When I returned, Mitch said, "give me about 30-40 minutes." He came back in about 20 and said, "yeah, that glue dries fast. You're all set." I asked, "what do I owe you?" He said, "don't worry about it." This dude could've told me $500 and I'd have felt like I was getting a deal. Instead, I had to talk him into a tip. Mitch is amazing with cars and just good people, folks. Glad I met him. So, if you're looking on your own for auto body work or your dealership tells you that you've got a few options and they mention Gold Coast, that's the one you want. Thanks, Mitch & Jose and everybody at Gold Coast! read more

5 Star Experience! After my beloved BMW i8 suffered from a hit and run in my parking garage while I was away, I was devastated to come home to it damaged without a note. I was highly recommend to Gold Coast Auto Body by a close friend of mine. I looked up the shop's website and right from the start I knew I would be taking my car there. This family-owned business knows exactly how to serve its customers. Being in a customer-focused field, it's clear that the employees are trained to the highest standard of customer service, which I greatly appreciated. I had the best possible experience with this shop. I was able to get ahold of someone immediately when I called. I brought my car in the very same day and was greeted and taken care of right away with no wait time. I was in and out in a matter of a few minutes! They even recommended a rental car company for me and offered to connect me with them as well as other aftermarket shops who can install a dash cam for me. They always have a solution! Francesca Martino was absolutely wonderful with the initial process of bringing my car in, which consisted of being able to accommodate for me to come in right away, taking a look at the car, and giving me a brief estimate, and explained what the shop could do for me. Her knowledge was impressive. The customer service at this shop is beyond fantastic. I was always given an update as soon as they received one, given quotes extremely fast, and was provided with kind and friendly service where I felt welcome. The quote process was upfront and organized, as I was given an itemized list with quotes and they ordered the needed parts immediately so they could work on it with no delays! The service process was outstanding. Kate Gomez was the best service adviser that I've had the pleasure to work with. The advisers at other shops are no where near to even compare to Kate's work ethic and response time. The shop has the most skilled employees who attended to every detail. The car looks brand new like it was never touched. They did a few aftermarket modification installations, having done a glorious and aesthetic job. An after market part that was damaged in the hit and run accident was no longer being made by the manufacturer, however, Gold Coast Auto Body made it a priority to find me a replacement option that happened to be a much cheaper price than the original piece - and I ended up getting 2 more aftermarket pieces that they installed for me, and the new manufacture was even located in Chicago! They went above and beyond to go the extra mile for me. Very responsive, communicative, and professional. Dominic Martino, one of the owners, is truly a great person and I can trust that the car will be in good hands at his shop. I do not trust any other shop! The car was returned in pristine condition, was washed, cleaned, wind vacuumed. The work done was beautiful and it was clear it was done by highly professional and experienced employees. read more

Brought my loved Audi Avant into this body shop hearing good things about it. I was not disappointed at all. From the moment I pulled in to getting the car back was very easy and relaxing experience. The customer service here is by far the best I've ever received at any type of car repair facility. I am a VERY picky and obsessed with my cars and this Place is also! This is the Best in Chicago and surrounding area. The quality of work that was done to my car nobody including Audi could not tell this had been repaired. And it was not a small repair. This is the BEST look no further. Just because they are large no detail goes I missed or in finished. Mario has a great team here. The only place I will ever bring my vehicles. read more

My experience with the folks (all of them) was absolutely A M A Z I N G ! from start to finish. My car got hit in Naples, FL just a week before coming back to Chicago--Mercedes dealer told me to go to Gold Coast so I did. Friendly, efficient, and they dealt with my insurance company--they took care of it all! When your car needs repair work, this IS THE PLACE to go. I'm blown away by how lovely my experience was, but of course hoping that I never have to have my car repaired again! Thanks to all the peeps that worked on my car--it looks beautiful and a special thanks to Mitch--your the best! read more

I'm an adjuster here in Chicago. I was hit by a distracted driver as I was headed home. My vehicle is a 2014 Mercedes E350 and the damage was to the passenger fender, bumper, wheel, tire, etc. my car has been serviced by MB of Chicago since it's had 9k. MB of Chicago is excellent. Eric M. is my guy there. They recommended Gold Coast Auto for my repairs. The first rep I met was Stephanie. I felt like I got equal service from her as I do when I take it in to MB of Chicago, which is EXCELLENT. Company reps like her are few. I met Mitch, then I decided on having them wet sand my car as well. There were lots of light scratches, besides the huge dent on the passenger side. So today I got my car back and I am IMPRESSED!!! They did a super job. Highly recommend. read more

They are wonderful to work with and do incredible auto body work! Should you need auto body repair, I strongly urge you to give them a try! I'm confident you won't be disappointed! read more

GCAB is family-owned, reliable, trustworthy and performs superior repairs. They have repaired each one of my vehicles many times over the past 15 years. I have a higher-end vehicle and many body shops won't work on it it. Gold Coast worked with my insurance company to get the proper repair payout, stayed in constant contact with me (by phone and email) and did a wonderful job. I would not go to any other body shop. Thanks for the welcoming atmosphere and familiar faces: Dominick, Mario, Francesca, Mitch, Kate and Jamie. Yep - I'm a regular read more

A self inflicted accident with our very new car was made less frustrating by the incredible service received from Mitch and the team at gold coast.

I brought my car in this morning to get some scratches buffed out/fixed and they did it for me in 5 minutes and free of charge! Everyone was very friendly and honest. I've been to a handful of auto body shops for estimates and fixes and have never found such a pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend bringing your car here! read more

This is the absolute best of body shops with their attention to detail. I just traded in my Mercedes that I had GC do body work on 12 years ago an not one dealership could detect any work on it. Amazing work and worth the price. read more

Mario and the folks at Gold Coast really took care of me after my beautiful Audi was caught in a fire and got smoke damaged. They worked to see if there were any solutions, hunted around for replacement interiors, worked well with my insurance adjustor, and kept me apprised throughout. It was good to know they had so much experience with smoke damage both to the paint and the interior. I have no doubt that their professionalism extends to all aspects of their business. Highly recommend this shop for complex disaster recovery. read more

Trust all of the glowing reviews, this place is the real deal. An unforunate combination of a bad garage door sensor and two city garbage trucks led to me knocking off the sharkfin antenna on my car. The team at GCAB got me in for an estimate within 48 hours. They were prompt and Mitch walked through all the possible options with me. The entire team was transparent and the work was completed with pride. 24 hours after drop-off, my car was ready. Not only was the level of workmaship incredible, the car was detailed inside and out. I had the opportunity to talk with the owner, and learn about the multitude of veterans outreach programs that the business partners with. I cannot recommend these fine men and women highly enough. read more

My 2011 Lexus had some damage on both sides. There was a dent on the driver's side and yellow scratches on the passenger side. I took the car to two places and each repair estimate was about $2000. My son told me to take it to Gold Coast and that they specialize in work on good cars. When I pulled in, Mitch greeted me. He was as nice as can be. He looked over the damage and said that they could buff out the scratches and that there would be no charge for that side. He then said that the other side could be done the expensive way, but he would recommend an easier fix. He said that it should be ok and the cost would be about $300 to $400. I told him that since the car is nine years old, that would be great. I brought the car in a few days later. Mitch said that it could be fixed in one day. They even paid for my Uber to the health club. When I returned, Mitch said that the dent couldn't be fixed as well as he hoped it would be, and that there would be no charge! I told him it looked ok and that I should pay for the work they had done. He touched it up with paint and I told him that it's just fine for a Chicago car. He didn't recommend going through the expensive process, and I agreed. Everyone there is terrific and they are one of the most honest companies with whom I have dealt. I highly recommend Gold Coast for any auto body repair. read more

I had some small fender damage and chose this company because of their Yelp reviews. I filled out the form online, I was called back within a few hours and made an appointment for this morning for an estimate for the damage. When I got there, Francesca took a look and said she thought she could rub it out. Ten minutes later, it was done, the car looked like new and she refused to charge me anything for the service. Hopefully, I will not need a body shop again, but if I do, my first choice will be Gold Coast Auto Body, I would trust them to be fair for any repair and do a great job. Karen E read more

I've been a customer for over 20 years and have only good things to say. I have always found them honest and trustworthy. I recommend them to all my friends. They may not be the cheapest but so far the work has always been great. I have tried to save a few $$$ by going elsewhere once a few years ago but the quality wasn't nearly as good. Won't do that again. read more
