I've had consistently great experiences at Husteads Auto Body in Pleasant Hill. The team is professional, welcoming, and efficient every time. They explain everything clearly upfront, which makes the whole process simple and stress-free. This is my go-to shop and I keep coming back for a reason. The work is done on time, and the results are always top quality. My car looks as good as new after every visit. Thank you to Manny and Brooke for the excellent service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality repairs. read more

I had a terrible experience with Manny at Hustead's after a T-bone accident. He was dismissive of my questions and explicitly said he was "uneasy" with me asking for details. Furthermore, he told my insurance adjuster that he would only provide an itemized repair estimate if I first committed to the repairs--a direct violation of California law (CCR § 3353). Trusting my gut, I moved my 2025 Kia Carnival to a Kia certified collision repair center. They found $17,000 in *additional* damage that Hustead's missed, including a compromised B-pillar and floor pan. This ended up totaling my car, when Manny at Hustead's was adamant that my car would not be totaled. If I had stayed with Hustead's, I'd be driving my children in a potentially structurally-unsafe vehicle. Avoid this shop - they seem to prioritize capturing the repair job over transparency and safety. read more

This place is the best. Came here a couple years ago for a touch up, and they did it as a courtesy. Got to cancel the insurance claim and everything. Got a used care recently that needed some touch ups, came back again and same thing--didn't accept payment, and did a great job. Thanks Manny! This place has made me a customer for life. read more

This shop is the best ever I have been to and entrusted my car, Merz Benz, for the service requested and needed. They are consummate professionals with expertise. Eunice is amazing and so patient even though I called frequently with all my questions and to check on status... The shop is clean and well organized not that anything is wrong with a grease monkey type of joint. From the moment I dropped off my car until I picked it up, I received timely communication updates via text and their online tracking system. I even got my car back at least 24 hrs sooner than was projected which saved me from driving a POS rental. While I hope you nor I are involved in motor vehicle accidents, go to Hustead's in Pleasant Hill for all repairs and shop work. Support this shop. You will NOT regret it. read more

Have had two occasions to use the repair services of Husteads Auto Body's ,Pleasant Hill shop in the last year. My wife's car had a rear door replaced and my car had some trim replaced. Manny and crew do an excellent job and are very competitive with other repair shops in the area. I would highly recommend their services. read more

If you are in need of auto-body work I highly recommend Husteads! I couldn't be more pleased. Their communication and professionalism are top notch. They got my car in and began working immediately and all work was completed timely. Thank you all for everything! read more

Used hustead for auto body repair after car accident. They did a great job on repair and wete on time with good communication.

I needed a clip reattached to my rear view bumper, which was coming loose on driver side. Fernando & Michelle were great!

I am very impressed with the excellent communications that Manny delivered. The front vendor repair is flawless. The pricing was very reasonable. 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

Our 1996 Jaguar XJS was side-swiped by a truck and needed a fender and wheel replaced. Finding parts for a classic car that old took a lot of time and effort. Throughout the process I was always kept current by Manny. He couldn't have been more helpful and transparent throughout the repair process. When the repair/replacement work was finally completed, the car looked absolutely awesome -- almost like brand new! I totally recommend Manny and his colleagues!!! read more

This is the worst experience I've ever had at a mechanic. The people here are inconsiderate, extremely unorganized, disrespectful and irresponsible. Long story short, my car was sitting here since January until May (LITERALLY 5 MONTHS) after an auto-Collision accident. I couldn't handle the fact that every time I would call, they would either not answer or when they did, they would claim they were super behind on work. After 5 months of no progress, little to no communication from this shop, I couldn't take it anymore and decided to take my car to another mechanic. Overall, taking my car here was a waste of time, money (since Im literally paying for car insurance on a monthly basis for a car that isn't able to be driven) I made an appointment here last year around the beginning of December and I can't believe that they still hadn't ordered the necessary parts for the repair, almost half a year later. Whoever answers the phone is also extremely rude, he kept talking over me and interrupting me when I was speaking. He also admitted to putting my car on the back burner just because I had mentioned I was going to be okay for a little while since I had a rental car from my insurance. That is NO excuse to take your sweet time as most insurances only cover rentals for 1 month as it was in my case. I just said that so they won't feel like I was rushing them but they definitely took advantage of me. I was struggling for months taking public transportation, taking ubers, borrowing cars from friends all because this inconsiderate shop didn't care to prioritize to fix my car. In conclusion, I would say please don't let the other positive reviews fool you as it fooled me. This review is most likely the most honest review they've received on yelp. I really hope other people find out how awful the customer service is, they're definitely not worth anyones business and time! read more

excellent customer service and satisfaction. I was always notified of any updates regarding my car repair read more

Very honest business!! I came here as a referred shop by my insurance carrier, and right off the bat Cory evaluated my car and told me what they could and could not help with. He saved me a lot of time and money, and I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a good and reliable car repair shop! read more

I can't say enough about the staff ... we left our truck overnight for service. Our driver door and been vandalized trying to break in. As we put "the club" on our truck and drove away we were a bit uneasy but thought we'd be fine. Turns out some thieves stole our catalytic converter ... ugh made yet another claim. They hustled, put our truck inside for the night took care of everything so promptly and we're so kind and waived our deductible on the 2nd claim. Oh, and they drove to the house to get my husband to pick up the truck !!!! Outstanding customer service, I will certainly recommend them to anyone who needs repair etc!!!! Katheryn Cooper read more

We had our car in for body work repairs at Pleasant Hill Collision on June 14th. Cory had written our estimate and he was very thorough. He told us that our car would be ready that Friday afternoon. He was in contact with me, providing updates, a few times throughout the week. Cory called early Friday morning and said the car was ready to be picked up. The pride in workmanship and customer service is exemplary. If you want excellent work, customer service and don't want to feel taken advantage of, go to Pleasant Hill Collision for all your body work needs. You will not be disappointed. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you Cory and the rest of the team! Most appreciative! read more

I went here for a cash estimate on a ding from a parking structure. It seemed such a small thing but repairs cost a bundle. I did not want to go through insurance. Aaron offered to clean up the area to make it less apparent. After getting a comparison estimate from another shop, even higher, I took him up on the offer. What he did made such a difference that I do not see the need to spend Thousands on repairs. He also carefully explained the rationale for difference between the two estimates. I was blown away by Aaron's generosity & professionalism. This will be my go to shop should I need body repair services. read more

I was very impressed with my car when I got it back. It didn't look like it had been damaged at all. I liked how they kept me informed and were flexible with my pick-up time. I might have had to wait for a while to get it fixed; however, it was worth it! read more

I met Corey over a year ago. Super great guy! Along with everyone else, and Mr. Mustache Aaron!! So i took my van in over a year ago to order all new seals and weather stripping for my van. Due to work my time frame was changed because I had to leave town for 14 months. These guys held my my product. Upon my return I contacted Corey and scheduled the work. They did a fantastic Job. I know longer hear wind noise, or water leaking in. Quality Service, Responsive team thats easy to work with. I will surely be back for other work. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Pleasant Hill Collision is the BEST! Foster L read more

Very happy with our experience at Pleasant Hill Collision Repair. The estimate was done immediately within fifteen minutes of our arriving (without an appointment). We were given two estimates, one that was a much more extensive repair and the other that was more cosmetic. We went with the least expensive of the two, with the confidence that if we weren't happy with it, he would take the cost of that initial repair off the top of the more extensive one. We are very pleased with the results. Highly recommend! read more

Quoted me in 5 minutes. Took my keys shortly after. Fixed my Fiat 500 abarth in less than a week. These gentlemen are perfectionists. You could not find a flaw with a magnifying glass. Thank you for fixing my Fiat! read more

Would highly recommend this shop over and over again . Customer service was excellent, walk through car and all necessary information was presented thoroughly and straight up. Got my car fixed in swift timing and it looked perfect! The car was also beautifully cleaned from the inside out. My new go to shop! read more

They were SOOOOO great to me for my mom's car. She was having a dental procedure and she was upset about a minor accident. So I was thrilled that they just took care of it easily and treated me sooo kindly! They were fast, and friendly, I can't recommend them highly enough! Thank you guys! My mom thanks you! read more

I highly recommend this center. They were timely and they do excellent repair work. Thank you for the reminder exceptional work and friendly business! read more

Amazing staff, amazing service! The best there is! Aaron and Cory are truly an example of something most businesses are lacking. They are all about service! THANK YOU BOTH! I'll recommend anybody and everybody! And 2 more stars making it 7 stars for putting up with me LOL! read more

I have now used PH Collision for repairs on two occasions. Both times were A quality service. Not only did they do an exemplary job with the body work on my vehicle, but Aaron and Corey were amazing to work with. They were patient in explaining everything to me, were flexible with my hectic schedule in getting the car to them and were forthright about what I did or did not need. I've dealt with so many places that take advantage of folks who have no idea what they're doing (Like me!) whereas these guys went above and beyond with their care. They even detailed it all pretty for me. HIGHLY recommend this shop. read more

Very happy with my repair. Aaron and team did a great job on my truck.

Several months ago, the roof of my truck started making this awful flapping sound whenever it would get up to speed. I took it to the service department at the dealership from which I bought it, and after three days they said they couldn't find the problem so they had just sprayed some extra insulator/filler in there and hoped for the best. Charged me $80 for it too. Of course that did nothing and the problem remained. On recommendation of a friend of my wife, we then brought it here to Pleasant Hill Collision Repair Center, and they immediately diagnosed the problem, had it fixed a day and a half later, and only charged me $60. Very good experience. read more

Horrible service. Brought my car in on Monday to get a quote for paint damage. I was told by the service writer that it would be approximately $4-5k to fix, but that was just a ball park figure as nothing was written up. He told me I'd receive an estimate within the next 2-days. Today is Friday and no word. I called yesterday and the service man said the guy at the front had already left for the day. No problem. He took a message and I stressed that this is "urgent"-- I needed a call back ASAP as my insurance provider specified Oct 13th as the deadline to obtain quote... Friday evening and still no call back. My guess is since they're dealing with insurance, the owner of the car is not their top priority. If the front of the house is poorly managed, best to assume the back is too. Customer service is everything, especially when you're dropping a pretty penny. I'll be taking my car to a shop that is thrilled to have my business. read more

The lining under the front wheel well of my car came loose across the street from Pleasant Hill Collision. They knew my name, ran across the street and offered to help me immediately. A week later during my appointment, they fixed the damage to my bumper quickly and painted a few bald spots without being asked. They went above and beyond to make sure the experience was positive and the car looked better than before the accident. read more

Went in based on a referral from my local repair service shop for a dent in the wheel well. I've worked in customer service for 30 years and I could honestly say i don't know what the gentleman was trying to sell me. All the other shops I've spoken with say with confidence, "we estimate" and then go on to describe the expected cost and "this is only an estimate. final charges may be higher. 'C' began with "Well this is the problem" , then went on later with "if we have to do this", "but if this happens we will have to " , "the costs could be, or they might be" ,and used a lot of "we have no confidence in our work" language that we in the corporate world might refer to as "walking the customer out the door because "we don't want their business". I would love to coach this gentleman however I see that yelp has given him many positive reviews .. perhaps I was not giving off a good customer vibe. If so my apologies. "E" the owner was a pleasure to talk to briefly on the phone. I'm quite sure I would have bought from him if he used words of confidence, and explained the $4K work for a 2 inch gash in the rear wheel well, a scraped wheel, and a buff out on the rear portion of the rear bumper about 3" high, 5" long of paint from the contact item. Keep up the good work "E". read more

I was completely distraught after my first accident. Brought my car with the insurance quote to the shop, and Aaron took care of my car immediately and quickly. Went above and beyond what was necessary and restored my car to better than it was before the accident. Fast and friendly service, can't say enough about them. read more

State Farm has them on their list. My truck was hit and the driver left in a parking lot in Lafayette. Took my truck here on recommendation from a friend and I'm glad I did. The truck was returned to factory new and they even did some touch up paint work on door dings. They kept me in the loop throughout the entire process and we're very knowledgeable. If I have vehicle body damage in the future, I'll bring my business to them. read more

I am a precision millwright. Bumper is off at least a sixteenth and stained my truck. Not happy but probably deserve it.

I have taken all of my cars here and they always do an excellent job. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Thank Aaron, Corey and Jose for always being excellent. read more

Great work at a great price and Cory and Aaron are really nice to work with. Honestly, couldn't have been a better experience. Highly recommend going to this shop. read more

Some time ago i wrote a very negative review on Pleasant hill collision. I have since removed my review. Having had the opportunity to sit down with Aaron the owner and talk out some of the problems it has become abundantly clear to me that Aaron cares very much for the customer experience one might have at his auto body shop . Even tho he is not responsible to do any more work to my vehicle at his own expense he is fixing some of my issues that would otherwise not be his responsibility. I would now without question refer someone to his body shop.. Aaron is a stand up guy and i more than appreciate his professionalism. Thanks again Aaron. Zach Strause read more

WOW!!! Aaron is amazing, and now has a new customer for life. I purchased a LexusRX350 from a dealer and Aaron checked it out for me. This guy is a car detective. He was able to tell me every single thing that was done to the car, down to a level of specificity I've never seen before. He was honest and straightforward; I can't say enough great things about him. What a wealth of knowledge.. I'm so happy to have found him and will never go anywhere else again. read more

Went in to get an estimate on a dent on my CRV. Cory thought my best option was to have Bret at Dimples (a mobile service) handle my problem. That recommendation was good for me but not-so-good for PHCRC (because they missed out on doing the work). Cory handled it just as a professional would--put my needs as a customer first. I was impressed. I was even more impressed after Bret worked his magic on my dent---like it never happened. What a great recommendation! I'm thrilled. This is how you build trust. This is how a first-rate business conducts its affairs. How do I know? I wrote the book. Congratulations PHCRC! Bill Wiersma Author: The Power of Professionalism Fast forward to Oct 2018...PHCRC fixed the rear bumper on my prized Acura after I managed to mangle it. They did absolutely beautiful work. It looked like new. Aaron and the boys are doing it right. read more

We had a small branch fall from our oak tree and hit the new Ford Focus on the roof, just above the passenger side door. BIG dent. Also put a big "door dent" on the lower part of the door. Called around and via Yelp and other sites found some positive reviews of Pleasant Hill Collision Repair. Took the Focus in for an estimate, and they were extremely reasonable, plus they were already connected with our insurance (State Farm). Our agent said this is "comprehensive" and will not charge against us, plus our deductible was $250. This is same $$ you'd pay for one of those "dent pro" guys that come to your house. The shop said the "dents" were too big and it actually was more work that we realized. They don't spot paint, they blend the paint by body panel..etc. Plus they would need to remove side airbags, door trim, panels, maybe the glass... wow. And the car has the pearl white paint, so that was more to match. We dropped off the car the next day, and they said it would take about a week. Well, they got the job done early by two days, and did not have to take out the airbags or the glass. They actually completed the repair, detailed the car, and had it to us several hundred under the estimate. I gotta say, the quality of the work is fantastic. You can't tell it ever happened. I would highly recommend this wonderful shop. First rate, responsive, they fully described the process, the "what if's" and so on. The owner himself wrote our service ticket. We felt that even though we'd never been there before (or needed body repair to any of our cars), we were his "best customer". THIS is how it is supposed to be, how it used to be, and how you wish all businesses were run. Thank you guys at PH Collision Repair Center. You did a great job, and I can honestly say I hope I never need you again, but if I unfortunately do..you are now the "GO TO" place. read more
