    Fantastic! Garret and his crew worked some serious magic on my 2005 Tacoma. The roof was rusted beyond recognition. Had a large dent in both the driver/passenger door and the step rail. Scratches as far as the eye can see. It looked awful. When I picked it up I couldn't believe it was the same truck. It looks brand new! They hooked me up with new lights, bumper, rubber seals, the works. And a lifetime warranty on the paint! Unbeatable. I'll be recommending High Octane until I'm out of breath.

    I am so pleased with work done at High Octane! The car looks beautiful and Garrett and his team fulfilled all promises regarding work to be completed and charges incurred, including helping with my deductible! Bravo to Garrett and the crew! They have lived up to the trust that I placed in them.

    Very Well Done! High Octane Body and Paint went above and beyond in helping me fix the paint on my car. They are super professional and worked with my insurance to get the job done quickly and I felt assured that my car was in good hands throughout the whole process. My car looks like new again!

    Recently had to return my leased car and had tons of deep scratches. I was really anxious of the bill i was gonna get for damages on it until high octane have me an AMAZING quote to have them fixed up. Not only that they did it all in 2 days!!!! I requested quotes from 4 other shops between sf and Oakland and all were $200-500 more than high octane had quoted. Eric and his team were really communicative and offered the best service I've ever had with an auto body shop 10/10 recommend

    One of maybe 10 paint holes spread across the car

    I parked my Tesla under a tree and a ton of sap fell on it and ate clear through the paint in many places on the car. High Octane repainted basically half the panels on the car, and even though they had a ton of other cars to work on, it took about half the time they said it would. Everyone was great to work with, very responsive and professional, and they coordinated with my insurance to make it easy on me. Highly recommended!

    Before. Couldn't even open the door the crash was so bad.

    Professional, clear, and going the extra mile. These guys are great. Before and after pics attached.

    I went to High Octane to get a repair done after my Prius was extensively damaged after hitting a deer at high speed. The bumper, fender, and hood all needed to be replaced. The shop owner Garrett is a great, no BS guy. He quoted me a very competitive, but also realistic all-in price for the work. That price didn't change--no nickel-and-dime, no "we didn't see that damage when you first brought it in". He and the crew did great work. The car looks excellent, including the paint finish. They even cleaned up a scrape on the back of the car, which was not in the scope of work. Garrett originally said to expect 2-3 weeks for the repair, which was very reasonable. Instead, it was ready for pick up in less than a week and a half. I will definitely return to High Octane for future work.

    "I'm proud to share that Garrett from High Octane provided exceptional service! Although my husband was initially skeptical, I needed work done on my rear quarter panel, and they truly exceeded my expectations. The team was efficient, responsive to all my update requests, and maintained excellent communication throughout. They were courteous, honest, and treated me like family while remaining professional and friendly. I couldn't be happier with the experience!. My husband was very happy with their work and recommended them to his friends. Thank you

    The finished job

    Amazing! Like a new car. Price was fair the work was outstanding. They didn't miss a thing. Can't recommend High Octane enough.

    Front bumper repaired!

    I was extremely pleased with my experience at High Octane. My daughter jumped a curb and hit a tree while learning how to parallel park. She was uninjured, but the front bumper took a big hit. Eric and Garrett and another gentleman whose name I didn't learn did a great job getting the repair done. They were incredibly friendly and responsive to texts throughout. Also, my car hasn't been this clean since I bought it 6 years ago!

    I recently had Garrett and his team paint my 04 Subaru Sti and I couldn't be more happy with High Octane! Garrett was very professional and they were able to meet my time frame as requested. This wasn't an insurance claim and High Octane was able to paint my whole car at a reasonable price. I brought in seals, trim, cowl, front lip, mirrors and some other aftermarket parts which they installed and made my car look brand new. They also did some headlight restoration. Paint came out really great and I'm super happy with the results. Garrett always answered my calls and if he wasn't available he would always call me back. Would highly recommend!

I used Automotive Collision Repair several years ago for another vehicle and appreciated their service and quality of work, so I decided to try them again. I called their shop after the incident and they quickly arranged for my vehicle to be towed to their shop (it was not drivable). The tow service was great, being both efficient and timely. Jimmy, one of the managers, arranged for me to obtain a rental car and even dropped me off at the rental facility. After dropping off my car, shop staff kept me periodically updated on the status of the repairs. One key part was apparently in recall status and not available through the dealer. The repairs could not be finalized without this part, potentially causing issues with my rental car availability if not resolved. Understanding the potential problem, the managers of the shop worked to resolve the issue quickly to my satisfaction, explains to me in detail the options available. Shortly thereafter my car was ready for pickup. The managers arranged for my rental car to be picked up from the shop (saving me a bunch of time), and Josh in the front office ensures my vehicle pickup went smoothly. I simply can't ask for more in a body shop.

I ended up having to call 3 times until I was able to speak with the owner Vahe (sp? ; I'm not sure if he's related to Raj, the previous owner apparently) who refused to give me an estimate over the phone and said he had to 'plug it into my estimate software.' After some additional quibbling, he finally told me that it would probably cost around $600-700 dollars. This amount of money for a simple door and hood swap is ridiculous! It's something I could do on my own time but I just don't live in a place that allows for mechanic work (apartment complex) or access to all the tools. I recall Raj was way nicer and professional about it rather than trying to sound like a used car salesman and sleaze their way into bringing my car to the shop (I would have to ask a friend to bring the spare parts to be swapped since they don't fit in my car, at which point would be difficult to decline the job). Really, really disappointed and I don't think I can recommend this place again. *Update* Very interesting that the owner chose to respond so quickly upon my updated review. Their claim was factually false, as reasons to bring in my car were never discussed over the phone and he repeatedly just stated that he would be plugging in and quoting me whatever his estimate software produced. In fact, they have a button where you can request an estimate right on their Yelp page which makes it even more unbelievable. Would re-iterate to avoid this place like the plague since the new owners obviously did not carryover the honest work from the previous ones.

I left the car there for a further inspection, they provided me a ride home, and when I got home Rodrigo called to give me my options. I chose one and they ordered the parts. Mike discovered another issue and immediately notified me, sending a video. Not only did they fix my car in a timely manner, they provided stellar communication during the process.

Both times, dropping of my vehicle in the morning was difficult bc of a vendor (the same vendor each time) was blocking the driveway with their large truck double parked so I wasn't able to pull in. I had to circle around the block multiple times, finally found parking nearby - only to have to move my car into the garage after the vendor left. I understand they are located in a company space, but having an efficient way to drop off vehicles seems like it should be a priority. The first time I brought a car in, the damage was repaired quickly and the work was good. As a result, the next time one of my vehicles needed work, I brought it to Caliber. However, this time my experience was incredibly disappointing. When I picked up my car, I could see the body damage was repaired, but my car had some unsightly white residue on it. It was promptly taken back and cleaned after I pointed it out. I didn't think too much of it and now wish I had taken the time to examine the inside of my car before leaving. The interior of my car was filthy - not how I dropped it off. The third row was lowered to expand the trunk area - also not how I left it. There were dirty dust/scuff marks and drops of yellow paint. Some sort of sticky white residue on the interior panels, too. And "Juan" left his Starbucks drink in a cup holder in the back - which turned moldy. This was the first time I received a vehicle back in worse condition than I left it - and unfortunately, I did not realize it until my kids opened the door to hop into the back. After my service, I received a generic email from Caliber inquiring about the quality of work and customer service. I left a description of the dirty condition and attached photos . I did not receive a response back. So, I've not returned.
