Umberto, Hans, the crew and Christina at the desk all run an incredible body shop with a heart and amazing proficiency/resourcefullnes....You would be well to consider them if you have a body issue with your car of truck, no matter the age. I am not a high profit center as I own an older vehicle, am good at hitting poles etc that damage my truck, and pay cash rather than insurance. Doesn't matter. The team at Jim's do the job well, quickly, reasonably. honestly, and make you feel like a valued customer. They are really good at what they do. If you have a body issue with your vehicle, call them! read more

Fantastic service and great bodywork for decent price. More importantly they are friendly and helpful and do what they say they're going to do. Don't let the small shop turn you off. This was 100% great experience. We did not go thru insurance so can't comment on that part of the body work journey. But for what we did we RECOMMEND! read more

Jim's Body Shop provides high quality autobody work at a fair price. I have had to bring in my Mustang, which I am very partial to, several times and have always been happy with their service. Recently, another car sideswiped mine in a parking lot, to the extent that I could not open the drivers door. Imagine how fun it is to crawl over the center panel to get out the passenger door. I drove to Jim's with no appointment and asked if they could provide a temporary fix before repairing the everything so I could at least open the door. They fixed the door immediately and would not take any money for it. I have an appointment for a complete repair, and sooo appreciated their kindness in making my car accessible in the mean time. Can't recommend highly enought. read more

The owner is very responsive and pleasant. It is a very old school body shop and is a bit of a hole in the wall. But, He listened to my requests and got my car in pretty quickly. I recommend it. read more

I took my car here after a tree fell on my hood. I had to pay out of pocket as I had canceled comprehensive coverage a couple of weeks earlier, and even though the tree belonged to my neighbor, their insurance wouldn't pay as it was "an act of God." Jim's got me in right away and fixed it in no time! When I came to pick it up, they had cleaned the car inside and out. As I was driving off, I noticed that they had also replaced my windshield wipers with no additional charge. In fact, Humberto shaved a few dollars off the estimate when he found out I was paying out of pocket. Nice guys, good repair work, and low cost. What more could one ask for!!?! read more

I had a small fender bender with my neighbor's car and needed to repair it ASAP! Alex was quick to give me a good estimate for the repair and set up an appointment sooner than any other shops in Seattle. Humberto was great to work with. They beat all other shops in price and quality. Hopefully no more fender benders, but if there is I'll be returning. Jim's Body Shop gets 5 stars and my highest recommendation! BRAVO! read more

One star review - I didn't even get as far as receiving A QUOTE from Jim's body shop - Han (employee) took pictures of my vehicle's (370z) damage (rear bumper) on May 16, 2024. He said "my boss will email you in an hour with the quote" - NEVER HAPPENED. A week & a half went by so I called & asked for the quote to be emailed - he said "Sure, I will email the quote to you right now" - NEVER HAPPENED. Two weeks have passed since that phone call - NOTHING. My guess is Jim's Body Shop did/does not want to work with insurance claims since they make more money/bigger profit if you pay out of pocket vs insurance. Thank you for wasting my time & I'll be sure to spread the word about the good (not) work you do at Jim's amazing body shop. read more

Living in the Ravenna neighborhood and walking past Jim's Body shop near daily, I have seen many vehicles in various states of damage outside this building for years now. The vehicles rarely stay long, which I was reminded of when my car's bumper was ripped off recently. I arrived at the shop shortly after they opened on a Friday and drove away just over a half hour later with my car's bumper reattached and as good as new! The service and professionalism I expereienced from the folks in the shop was incredible. I didn't have an appointment, but my impromptu repair job was treated with precision and prompt action. I highly recommend them for whatever ails your vehicle, as you'll get very affordable and thorough work! read more

My car got broken into and whoever did it went through the wires leading to the backseat and set off my airbag light. When I was calling around, all of the local shops said that they don't do airbags, even the dealership where my cars from. Jims offered to do a diagnostic at least when no one else would, and they found the faulty wire, ordered the new parts, and had my car back to normal within a week. Price was fair and lower than I expected for an airbag issue. Very transparent with the costs and the main mechanic I talked to was pretty helpful and let me keep the extra parts from what he ordered. I don't review many things but just wanted to show some appreciation for the good work that they provided me. read more

I can't recommend Jim's Body Shop with more than 5 stars, but they deserve it! The repair on my scarred Audi was flawless, and there was no long wait for a time slot. The quoted price was very reasonable! read more

The atmosphere is through the roof and cristina is so nice and helpful and so is humberto

Jim's Body Job did a great job on our Honda CRV. It was ready earlier than I expected and they charged me lower than the quoted price. Such a positive experience! We were referred by friends and I would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thanks to Alex and the whole team! - Tina & Roman read more

These guys are so helpful in a pinch! They hunted down a replacement hood from a junk yard for my 95 Chevy Lumina after several auto body places said it wouldn't be worth it. They also helped me with my trunch latch for a really reasonable deal. Thanks guys! read more

I went in to get an estimate today and they were very friendly and gave me a great price to just get my car fixed up and back in driving shape instead of trying to get me to restore it completely and pay a lot more! read more

Jim's body shop review I took my car in to Jim's body shop to repair some damage to my rear passenger side. The price we agreed on after a deal he gave me was $400. A few days later, I received a call that my car was ready for pickup. When I went it to pick it up, I noticed damage to the front bumper which had not been there before. When I brought it to the staffs attention, they were extremely confrontational and rude. When I went to discuss the issue and billing with Christina, she said that none of her employees had admitted to causing an issue. She then said that the only mistake they had made was to not take photos of the entire car when I initial brought it, before beginning work. She then went on saying how they did me a favor, and that if I kept complaining, they would charge me $1500 for the work that they already agreed for $400. This is unacceptable. Despite this, I had already paid the agreed amount of $400. Even though they did a good job fixing the original damage to the rear passenger side, it is unacceptable to be negligent and damage my car when I left it in their care. They refused to take responsibility and kept trying to use the deal they gave me as valid excuse for me to accept damage on my car that wasn't done by me. I will be going to a different shop to repair it. Overall it was a very unprofessional experience and I would not recommend or come back to this business in the future. read more

The windshield on my old truck started to leak. A big issue with old trucks is rust so I didn't want this to go too long. Even though Jim's Body Shop had cars that are bigger project$ (smashed front ends or doors, etc.), and even though my schedule changed a few times messing up our arrangements, they took my truck and got this fixed really efficiently. It looks great and is holding up like new. I'm very happy. The folks at Jim's are low key and top notch. read more

No frills, but the car looks perfect. For a different quote for a light scratch, others said they would have to do much more. Jim's told me they would fix it for free to along with doing some other work that was very reasonable and again, not as involved as others quoted. read more

The third time I've used Jim's and I was, once again, very pleased. Quality work at a reasonable price. Everything was done except a side mirror that was to be delivered late. i I took the car home. They called to say it had arrived, it would take only about 15 minutes to install. Dropped it off and went around the corner to have coffee. The manager showed up at the coffee shop to deliver my keys. read more

My car seat was broken and they replaced it really quickly charging half of what I was quoted from many other places. A true jam in the heart of Seattle! read more

After replacing a part they cleaned up remains of duct tape glue around a window that had been broken as well :)

Jerry was great! He was so kind, friendly, and accommodating. He explained the repairs and costs so I could understand and never made me feel dumb with my weird questions. Someone hit my car while I was driving on Roosevelt, and Jerry let me get the repair prepaid so I didn't have to worry about the guy's credit card not working out, screwing me over. He always answered the phone and was very prompt with handling the weird payment process. Someone was already picking me up, but he offered to give me a ride back to my apartment when I dropped my car off. Alberto, the person who did the repair, did an amazing job! My car looked much better than when I left it. He got rid of random car paint on my car and the bird poo on my rear window. :P They even made me want to take care of my car better. I will definitely recommend Jim's Body Shop to my friends. read more

I could not believe how honest and professional Jim's is! I had a small repair that I could not turn over to insurance. Great job, great price. read more

* Quick and easy quote when I stopped by * Approved body shop for my insurance * Able to schedule repairs within a week * Don't let the old looking building and no Web site fool you *Excellent body work on a torn front bumper, broken grill, and headlight * Looks new and paint matches perfectly * Highly recommend Humberto and team read more

Great service and best prices I found in Seattle. Small independent shop that knows detail and takes care of their customers. No surprises on prices. Just what is quoted. read more

BEWARE, they cashed my repair check that the insurance sent to them without any repair done. I had an appointment (evening) to drop off my vehicle for repair and they were closed. I came back the next morning and waited half hour, two hours past their stated opening hour and they were not there. I tried phoning and contact them on facebook and they never replied. The insurance told me they have already cashed the check, I gave them trying to get these guys to do the repair and they told me my only option is probably to file a case with the police. read more

Such nice and helpful people! My car was keyed and I took it in and they took care of it in 2 mins. Thank you!

Once again, Humberto and Jerry get top marks. My banged up VW now looks like new and the price was right. George Brown read more

Great job on my side mirror thank you - v responsive and helpful over text and did the work incredibly fast and as promised. Thank you!!!

These guys are for real. Nothing fancy but great results. Reasonable prices. It was a tricky situation where a third party was paying but Humberto and team handled the payment smoothly. Quick turnaround. read more

This guys were straight-forward. They didn't try to work me over when i didn't want to get all the work done. They were happy to help me out and do the least amount of work to get my vehicle looking good, at a fraction of what it would have cost to make the vehicle "perfect." They also gave me a ride after I dropped off my vehicle and picked me up when the work was done an hour later. Would go back to them for sure. read more

Very professional, my car looks like new. I received three quotes from reputable local autobody shops and Jim's was considerably less expensive than the others. They were also able to get me in quickly. The end result is fantastic...no trace of damage. I'm happy that I took my car there and would definitely go back if I needed autobody work again. read more

Unbelievably helpful, responsive and fast. They went above and beyond to help me and my small kids with our broken down car during inclement weather. They will be my go to repair shop forever! read more

Jerry and Humberto made my blue Prius look like new after a guy came out of a cross street, running without lights, one evening and slammed into the front end. Though it took weeks to get the parts, the guys did their best to expedite, and the car looks amazing! Plus, they gave me a rental car free of charge when the job took longer. They are good honest skilled and thoughtful! read more

I recently had body work done on my 99 Tacoma. Humberto offered me two choices and assured me that choosing the less expensive solution (pounding out dent and filling vs. replacing fender) would produce in excellent results. He was right. My experience at Jim's Body Shop was nothing but excellent. Fair price, excellent work, no complaints, very good service. There are two kinds of body shops: The ones that make your fear next fender bender; 2. The one's whom make you look forward to your next accident so you can experience excellent service : ) Jim's is the later. I was referred by my mechanic, Eric at Eric's Automotive Repair in 55th, his shop is excellent as well. read more

Jim's Body Shop does excellent work at reasonable pricing. We've used them a few time over the years, with outstanding results. Jerry (Jim's son) and Alberto take the time to listen to your concerns and have the experience to know what are the best alternatives to get the work done, not to mention they are very friendly and accommodating. And to boot, your car will also be cleaned inside and out! What a bonus!! I hope I don't need them anytime soon, but if I do, I wouldn't even consider going elsewhere. read more

Very pleased with their work. Reasonable cost, friendly, and no hassle. Since my car was drivable, they scheduled the repair when I was out of town, saving a rental while they did the work. Hope I never need them again, but would use them if I did. Thanks Jim's! read more

I got in an accident on I-5 in my 1990 truck, and one estimate I got for fixing the damage was $3500. I was just about ready to give up on my truck and sell it for scrap, but I called Jerry at Jim's Body Shop after getting a recommendation from my regular mechanic. Jerry and Humberto drove to my house to check out the damage. After looking at it, Jerry said that they could make it roadworthy for $1200. They towed it to the shop on Tuesday morning and called me Wednesday by lunchtime to say it was done. Jerry offered to stay late until I got off of work that day so I could pick it up (though luckily I was able to leave a little earlier than usual). When I got there, Jerry took me outside and my jaw dropped. I was expecting to be able to drive the truck, and not expecting it to be at all pretty. If I hadn't been in the accident myself, though, I wouldn't have known anything had happened to my truck. They did incredible work, and in a day! And they even vacuumed and cleaned the inside, too. Both Jerry and Humberto were so modest about the wonderful job they did, too. They are really down to earth, and genuinely want to do what they can to help. I keep telling people that Jerry and Humberto are magic men. I am so incredibly grateful. Plus, Jerry was just plain nice. He actually had me sit down in his office and just talk instead of rushing into work or rushing me out the door. Not that I'm hoping to have another accident, but if I should, I've got more peace of mind knowing that I've found someone whom I can trust to help me pick up the pieces and get back on the road. read more

I would highly recommend this shop. My husband had a run in with the side of our garage in my brand new Subaru. They wiped off the excess, had me get the repair decal and touch up paint from the dealer and then did the work for free! It wasn't a huge repair, but that act of kindness will definitely send me back in the future. read more

Go to this shop!! Humberto & JERRY will take care of ya.. Iono if i spelled humberto's name right, but anyways, GOOD PRICE FOR THE BEST JOB!

Wasn't closed when I took my car there 2 weeks ago. I thought they were great. Polite, cleaned the car interior, charged the price I was quoted even though it ended up taking several hours longer than they had originally figured. It's a small operation, so budget a little time to get the car in and out. But the job was done very well. I endorse. read more
