had a minor accident when someone backed into my car. Fortunately, there was no structural damage, but the backup camera needed to be replaced and recalibrated. From the moment I called, Melissa answered the phone and immediately made me feel comfortable about bringing my car in for repairs. Melissa is one of the finest people I have ever worked with. She responded to my emails incredibly quickly, usually within an hour and often right away, which was amazing. The insurance company involved was one I had never dealt with before, and they were very slow to respond to the supplement request for additional repair work. Melissa helped me every step of the way in dealing with them. Because of the delay, I initially had to pay out of pocket to get my car back. The body shop had already been paid by me, but Melissa continued to assist me with the insurance company and followed up on the supplement approval. Thanks to her efforts, the insurance company eventually approved the supplement request, and I was able to get reimbursed for the additional costs I had paid out of pocket. Thank you, Melissa, for your outstanding customer service and support throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this shop and would not hesitate to bring my vehicle here again. You can take your car here with confidence! read more

Daughter's car was damaged in a parking lot by another driver, so we took it to Husteads. Susan helped us throughout the process and made sure we had a quality finish. The office staff were helpful and friendly. This is my second time there, and knowing how drivers are these days, I'll be back again. Thanks Susan and team! read more

Hustead's Auto Repair in Concord,is a great automotive repair shop. I highly recommend this repair shop. The front of my Lexus NX SUV was damaged, the front bumper and grill. I was assured that they use Lexus parts. They were also a certified AAA & Lexus shop. I got the estimate that day and left the car there. The ladies in the office helped me with AAA and the rental car. They kept in touch with me on the status of the car. I was a wreck when I got there and I was calm when leaving. The vehicle looks brand new. Thanks, Hustead's team. read more

If there is a 0 star I would rated or worst. This business is terrible. Stay away from this body shop. I got an estimate for new parts and they installed used parts and blamed the insurance when they paid what the estimate was. Lack of communication with the customer. Took for ever to get back my car. After I received estime Cory kept asking additional charges to the insurance without keeping me informed taking months to repair a minor cosmetic accident terrible communication until I followed up with him. Once I pick up my car it had a condensation inside the used and defective lamp they installed and of course blaming the insurance for it. They estimated new parts and install used parts. After weeks have to bring back my car leave it for weeks there even they didn't even have the replacement lamp then they couldn't figure out if it was a fuse or the power supply of the lamp or why wasn't working after it was installed. In the mean time he is requesting 2 K extra lamp to the insurance without crediting the use defective lamp bring it the estimate over the value of my car to a point that my insurance decided to total my car due to additional fees after the estime. They communicate with insurance and request all these additional charges without letting the vehicle owner know. Still want to bill additional fee for fixing and keeping the used defective lamp. Very disappointing service and dishonest business. read more

Husteads Auto Body - Concord - Condensation used defective lamp and they still want extra fees when the estimate included a new lamp - Body Shops Near Me - Concord, California

I have no time to write this review which is to say, this is how strongly I feel about my experience and the team at Husteads in Concord. Melissa was my POC and out the gate I was taken aback at her proactive, detailed communication. Before my car was even towed to Husteads by AAA, I reached out to ask if once the car arrived, could they please keep an eye out for my son's stuffed animal that may or may not be under a seat. Mind you, Melissa had never met me, hadn't received my car or any paperwork, etc. Two days later when AAA finally got my car to them, I got a call (I didn't check in with them) to say my car was received and by the way, they searched every crevice of the car and "we're so sorry but no stuffed animal was found". I was shocked she remembered this silly little ask from a customer she didn't yet know. My car was badly damaged so Melissa gave me a one month deadline for completion. She mentioned that deadline and their alignment to it in nearly every update, and speaking of updates, I never had to ask what was going on because I was proactively texted several times a week with the latest status on the extensive repair. Toward the end, when the car was sent to Acura for the calibrations, etc., Melissa realized Acura had stopped providing her updates and wasn't returning their calls. She didn't rest on her laurels, she sent one of their guys literally TO Acura to track down the person who wasn't returning their calls. They got the update needed, and things continued to go smoothly. I could go on, but in a nutshell, the car was ready two days before the deadline, they sent a Lyft to my home in Lafayette to bring me there to pick it up, the car looked literally brand new and I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. Meeting Melissa in person didn't disappoint; she was just as warm, attentive, and knowledgable as she'd been all those weeks. Customer service doesn't really exist like this anymore so I was intent on writing this review when all was said and done. I hope not to need repairs again in the future, but if I do, they'll hands down be the only place I call. read more

Just absolutely amazing from customer service to overall service team. Suggested by my insurance and they sure delivered from setting up my car rental to sending updates on job status. Thank you Husteads Auto Body! read more

Chose this shop out of the approved list provided to me. Glad I chose the right spot,i had a great experience getting my Honda pilot fixed here. They were friendly, informative and best of all had great communication. Melissa was the one who helped me and she was really efficient and personable. Had no issues communicating via text while I was at work and kept me up to date every step of the way. Would return here. read more

Honest, straightforward, tell you as it is-- which we appreciated. We ended up note receiving service since our car was deemed totaled but we appreciated all the information they shared, helping us know what to expect from our insurance. read more

They were super fast and extremely professional. They communicated with me throughout the process with updates on what was happening. The repair looks great and they even returned my rental for me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have read the other negative reviews and from experience, I can firmly tell these people that the problem is with their insurance company and NOT the body shop. Insurance companies are trying to "fix" things for a cheap as possible and that means directing the shop to use aftermarket parts or recycling parts when possible. This is not the shops fault. Get a better insurance company. As for me, my car was in the shop for exactly 5 days for a damaged rear fender, quarter panel and lift gate. During that time I received 13 texts and a phone call regarding every step of the repair process. From when the estimate was done and approved to when the car was in reassembly and painting. That is good communication on the shops part. read more

Poor customer service and horrifying "quality " repairs. Returned car to us with interior window switches inaccessible, powered door features not connected, door creaking and snapping. The value of our vehicle now worth substantially less due to atrocious "repairs" but we're just glad not to have to deal with them anymore. read more

If you're like me, you take pride in caring for your vehicles and when they need any repair work performed you want to make sure you're using a reputable repair shop. Before taking my car to Husteads at 2110 Market Street in Concord for an estimate for very minor body work, I stopped by the Lexus dealership to see if they had any recommendation for Auto Body Shops. The service manager advised me that they often refer Lexus owners to Husteads for any body work. When I arrived at Husteads, I was pleasantly greeted by front desk team member, Savannah who introduced me to an estimator, Melissa. Upon reviewing the minor damage to the front bumper of my car, Melissa informed me that she thought the damage could be repaired on the spot without making an insurance claim. Melissa called over one of their body technicians, Elias who examined the damage and felt he could make the repairs in a few minutes. Elias took the vehicle to the back and immediately began working on my car. After 20 minutes, Melissa returned to inform me that the bumper on my car had be repaired and that there would be no cost for their effort. I was amazed at how nice and honest all of the team members at Husteads Auto Body were. Thank you Melissa, Elias and Savannah! While I hope never to have to use an Auto Body Shop, Husteads has earned my trust and business for any future work! read more

I bought my car from Concord Lexus. I had a minor front end collision, they don't have a body shop and they referred me to Husteads. I'm glad they did! Husteads is a certified Lexus shop and uses OEM parts. They are also a Geico shop and communicated with my insurance. Melissa was great to work with!! Above all, the repairs were done very well and on time. I highly recommend them. read more

This review should have been completed 6 months ago. October 2024, after a recommendation from my insurance company I took my car to Husteads. Before, I went to another place in Walnut Creek and didn't liked how they spoke to me, etc. the staff at Husteads was professional, yet friendly. They kept me informed, told me when I should contact Enterprise after dropping the car off, and was true to their world about the time line of when my vehicle would be ready. I would recommend them! read more

I had a loose fender as a result of roadwork on highway 80. I took the car into Husteads for an estimate. They were able to snap it back in place at no charge! Melissa and the other people there we so nice and friendly it was a pleasure to be there. The shop is easy to find, clean, and the staff are very professional. I highly recommend Husteads. read more

Husteads Concord in the place to take your car! First off the staff is efficient, kind, professional and they have excellent communication! I believe Melissa is the manager -- She oversees client communications and communication with the insurance companies. She's absolutely phenomenal and made this negative experience, that much more delightful. Obviously nobody enjoys to take their car into the shop after somebody crashes into you -- Melissa made an effort to always send updates and provide exceptional customer experience. They also have donuts for staff & clients every Fridays. So thanks for the sweet treat! Furthermore, the technicians are super good and overall the people running this place know what they are doing. The prices are normal/comparable to other shops but it's all about finding good people who you trust! God forbid anything happen to me again but if something does, I know where to go! Thanks team!! read more

Excellent work. The team at Hustead's Auto Body is very professional and knowledgeable. The staff's customer service, along with Susan's communications, was outstanding. She kept me up to date during the repairs and was patient and considerate when answering my questions. The body repairs were very skillfully done, and I was surprised to see how great my older Honda looked when I picked it up. I highly recommend the auto body repair services of Hustead's Auto Body in Concord, CA. read more

I had my car in for a major repair and right from the beginning the experience was amazing. Melissa is a true professional who clearly enjoys what she does. That rubs off on customers like me. She consistently went above and beyond and her upbeat energy and attention to detail and consistent communication truly made a difference. She and the rest of the crew are amazing at what they do and I feel lucky to have had them helping with my car. Highly recommended!! read more

Great experience! Melissa was helped me with all the paperwork and she was really personable. They were friendly and informative and communicated the whole time with updates via text about what was happening. The repair was super fast and looked great. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I was first referred to another shop about a block away by insurance, but upon reading reviews I called the insurance back and got a list of preferred vendors and came upon Husteads. They were fast, the text communication along the way with updates was great, rental pick up and drop off was seamless right at the shop. Best part- my car looks great!! read more

I visited Husteads Auto Body today they Melissa was courteous and helpful thank you Husteads

Husteads just completed a very complicated repair on my new car which was involved in a serious accident. Thanks especially to Melissa who kept me informed at every step in the process. The car repair was exceptionally well done. read more

Recently, my car was hit by someone while I was parked at work and they messed up my front bumper and one of my headlamps. After calling Geico and getting an estimate, I researched what my best local options would be to get the repairs done. Husteads popped up and the reviews were great, so I scheduled my appointment with them. Dropping off my car was tricky, because their lot is small and they were servicing multiple cars. The woman at the front desk was extremely friendly and thorough. They texted me with updates as my car moved through the shop and called to let me know that they had to add a few items to the repair list, but I didn't have to worry about contacting Geico for more money...They'd take care of it. When my car was ready, they texted me with the total and were very accommodating with my work schedule/pickup availability. I was so grateful to see that not only did they replace my bumper and headlamp, they detailed my car inside and out and removed all the overspray that was on my hood since I bought my car. What started out as a nightmare, turned into a dream...Thank you Husteads staff for going above and beyond! read more

I just picked up my car from Hustead Auto Body. I am beyond happy! First, customer service is excellent, Melissa Fausto Saucedo is the best. She goes above and beyond ,to make sure the customers are comfortable. My overall experience was great. They finished ahead of time and my car was washed and vacuumed. I love a nice clean car! Again thank you to Melissa for her great service and SMILE! Linda Sanchez read more

Blown away. Not only did my insurance company really move things along for me but Joel and his team at Husteads killed it. Same week drop off and pick up. Even washed my car. Literally looks better than before I was hit! Gave me updates throughout the process but it wasn't even necessary because they only had my car for three days. This is service you don't see much anymore. read more

This body shop did not disappoint from the moment I walked in. There was a bit of miscommunication on my part and to be honest, I wasn't familiar with how insurance and the semantics of bringing my car to the shop, but the receptionist ladies walked me through the process. They were pleasant and helpful because I'm sure this happens often. The 2 managers that helped me went above and beyond in customer service! They did an estimate on my car and totally accommodated my schedule and I was able to leave my car there that same day, even though they were swamped! FYI this shop was previously Simply Superior auto body and they should have kept the name! If I didn't say it today, Thank You for your professionalism and kindness. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. read more

I just picked up my Kia from Hustead's and I think it looks as good as the day I bought it. I recently was the victim of substantial vandalism to my car when an attempt to steal it was unsuccessful. This team of people, Teri, Melissa and the people working in the shop are top tier. From the moment I walked in, thru the entire process, they kept me informed about estimates and how long it would take. And wow! The attention to detail is incredible. If you need any work done, bring it to Hustead's. You will not be disappointed! read more

This auto body shop exhibited the poorest quality customer service imaginable. I came to this shop as an approved Geico shop. In short, they were unable to perform the repair work necessary. I would have had no problem with the shop if they had simply told me they couldn't do the work. Instead of doing that they kept my car for 10 days. They provided no updates to me during this time. I called the manager Joel Grossman after 5 days and all he could tell me was he was going back and forth with insurance. I call my insurance and they tell me they haven't heard from the shop and that the shop is non-responsive. And to top it all off--when I come to retrieve my car, the floor mats had dirty water/fluids on them because the personnel who moved the vehicle outside did not take the time to use floor mat covers. I will note that the General Manager Joel Grossman was particularly indifferent and lacks a basic understanding of customer service. I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, CA Department of Consumer Affairs, Concord City Hall, and other regulatory and consumer protection entities, as appropriate. In sum, I would not recommend bringing your vehicle to this shop. read more

I had a piece of my underbody cover falling off and was scraping as I drove. It was pretty nerve wracking to hear the noise and not know how the cover started dragging in the first place. I called and asked for their help and Jose and one of his techs helped me out with the removal. They didn't charge for removal which was very kind of them and a quick fix for the situation. They gave great service and were very nice. read more

It wasn't your typical car accident - I'd run something over in the road, on Kirker Pass. The sound under my car was terrifying and I knew it was bad. I took it to the dealership and they confirmed my fears, that the damage was, in fact, really bad under my car and that the work would need to be done by an auto body shop. So, I got to work, looking at auto body shop reviews in my area. That's when I decided on Husteads in Concord. I made the appointment, brought my car in, and left, assuming it would be gone a while - a month at the very least. Hustead's proved me completely wrong. It was just a matter of a couple of days and I started receiving text messages, keeping me up-to-date on the status of my car. As well, I received calls from Kyle, to touch base on both my car and how the process was proceeding with the insurance company. I was so excited when I received the call yesterday from Kyle that my car was finished and they'd received all they needed from my insurance. When I got there, my car was out front - it was really clean and ready for pickup. I just cannot recommend Husteads enough. There was a lot of damage under my car and not only did they have the work done in just a few days, but the communication was also completely above and beyond. I never had to wonder if they were working on my car, in fact, I was certain that they were working very hard on it, making sure that the work was seamless. You can't find a shop with more integrity or that will work harder for you on your car, with the insurance company, and to ensure you know every step in the process. They're truly priceless! read more

I had a big scratch on the passenger front bumper of my 2018 Toyota Tacoma, from an inadvertent wheel barrow from a contractor. When I took it into Husteads, I was met by Jose O. What a guy! He carefully assessed the damage, explained what could be done and options for repair, and then set me up for an appointment yesterday. Yes, yesterday, and the job is complete, as well as a wash for my truck. Along the way, Jose sent me the paperwork and updates via chat, which made the whole process easy and smooth. I had gotten an earlier estimate from a similarly high Yelp rated shop, but Husteads was much better. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process and cannot recommend them more highly. Ask for Jose when you go in. I hope he gets a raise. He deserves it. read more

Good customer service on the front deck but very bad in the repair times and in the quality of the repair. The manager is very rude and threatening. I would never repair my car in this place again. read more

My car was damaged by a huge tree branch due to the heavy wind and rain storm. It broke my passenger side mirror, dented the frame, scratched the whole right side of my car. I was so devastated because I just bought the car about 6 months ago! My insurance recommended Husteads Auo Body as in network vendor and have lifetime coverage. That is why I chose them. They did a fantastic, amazing job on my car!!! And put a brand new side mirror, and fixed the dent, scratches, new paint job. My car looks brand new and clean!! They detailed my car when I picked it up. You could not tell it was damaged. I worked with Ricky, and he was very courteous and explained everything to me. The job took awhile but I had a rental car through my insurance. I liked how they sent me text messages on the progress of the job. Everything went smoothly! Very pleased! Thanks for the nice work! read more

I had taken my car for repairs, and the quality of the work was acceptable. Only downside is during the process of my repairs, I had a bag of coins that was stolen from me at some point during the repair. I got in touch with the manager, Joel, and he professionally handled the situation, and compensated me for my losses. I believe this business does show integrity, but there is always room for improvement. I would recommend this business. read more

It looks like they have great reviews... but my experience was totally frustrating, unprofessional and unfortunate. Lack of communication. They Bought the wrong car parts and now im STUCK with them if anything was wrong like how i realized they installed the wrong color for my lights. And my 2021 tacoma was sent back to me unpresentable. Im not looking for detailing but "wipe down" should have been at least what i was expecting. Theyre service is slow so they took most of my car rental. Anyway, I chose them because of geico. I trust geico. Now after them, i dont think i wanna go in network anymore because this autobody is aweful and destroyed my trust completely. Manny was ok and i have nothing bad to say but also, im not very sure how he handled my complaints either. I asked for an email and i never received his as promised so I went directly to my geico insurance instead. I left my personal belonging here and my sodas and ice teas went missing... to be honest... i just hope i did not leave anything important since i dont recall if i did... because it might have not gotten back in my car since the obvious ones went missing. Im not saying anyone stole... but this only means they dont care.. read more

I don't even know where to start. I first used this shop because The Mazda dealership referred me. I had a 10-day old 2016 Mazda 3 that got side swiped. Rich, the owner, took care of me then. I was impressed with his work, and my car looked great. Fast forward two years later, my 2018 Mazda 3 was involved in an accident cause someone decided to run a red light. I was devastated because I didn't even have the car for a year and it didn't even have 9K miles on it. I knew I had to take it to Simply Superior. From the beginning Rich was very transparent with the repair process. He was definitely looking out for my best interest in terms of obtaining OEM parts. I was appalled that my insurance wanted to put aftermarket parts on a brand new car. Rich was very thorough. The quality of this shop's work speaks for itself. I did not care how long he had to have the car, as long as I got it back looking the way it did before the accident. The shop stays true to their values and does not get influenced by insurances. Rich answered questions I had, and was very prompt! When I saw my car, she looked like how she did as I drove her off of the dealership lot. All the lines and paint matched perfectly. I am a lifetime customer of Simply Superior. I am beyond satisfied with their work on my car. Thank you, Rich and team!! read more

I was hit on my way to work on early November and SS was on the list my insurance gave me for repair shops. The damage wasn't too great and so I decided to go with SS even though it is a little further from home for me. I am glad I picked it, Rich was honest with me about timeline and when I could bring my car in as well as how long the repairs would take. When I got it back it looked brand new! I hope to not need a repair shop anytime soon but if I do I will certainly go back to SS! read more

Fair-priced and they didn't screw around with getting my repairs done. Finished in an accommodating manner. Make sure whatever work you need done you have them put it in print because if you ask for them to take care of anything additional verbally, they'll forget about it. As a good rule of thumb, any auto repair joint, have everything you want checked out to be in print. Will return again for cosmetic repairs. read more
