Catalytic converter on my 2014 Toyota corolla was stolen. Statefarm was able to connect me to Michael J and they took my car immediately. They informed me that they have Toyota certified mechanics. I got my car back within 2 days. The guys went above and beyond fixing my car. When I got my car back it was washed and cleaned on the inside!! The face to face service was friendly and informative as well. read more

My car had a dent and deep scratch on the drivers side door, another couple of scratches and paint missing on the rear bumper. I took my car for and estimate. They looked at it and told me what needed to be done. I made an appointment for when the parts were available which I appreciated so my car would only be there a short amount of time. They repaired my car and gave me daily updates. The timeline was exactly what they said. The costs were reasonable. When I picked the car up, it looked brand new. I was so pleased with the repair. They had washed and waxed it and it looks awesome. Everyone there works together and are very efficient. I highly recommend Michael J's read more

These guys are awesome. They went above and beyond fixing my Toyota. The owner is a great guy. If you need any body work done on your vehicle, take it here. read more

My car was involved in a hit and run 3 years ago and Michael J's fixed it. Recently my sliding door on the side that was involved in the hit and run stopped working. I called Michael J's and they said to bring it in to see if under warranty. They got me in right away and my two young boys and I waited while they took a look. Unfortunately the motor went out which is not covered by warranty. Everyone there was so friendly and took the time to explain it all to me. They even let me see the parts that were faulty which was a highlight for my boys to go into the shop. The waiting room is nice and big and they have an old Sears catalog from the early 1900 and it entertained us as we waited. I highly recommend Michael J's and will use them in the future. read more

Brought my car in for damage to my rear tail lights. The cost was fair, and didn't take long I was in and out of the shop same morning. They also wash your car which was a nice touch. Shout out to Keaton and Nick who were both very helpful and friendly, and Scout the shop dog for being cute :) Will definitely come back if my car needs work again. read more

Michael J's Collision Centers - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

Unfortunately, I had to bring my car here for repairs. Fortunately, I brought my car here for repairs. Hung was the person who helped me out and walked me through the process. He was very clear with his communications, the expected timelines for repair and explanation of charges. His friendly demeanor was nice and he provided great customer service. Thankfully, I got my car back in about a week which I found reasonable considering the repairs required. They even cleaned my car very well and I got it back feeling like it was brand new. I hope I don't have to come back, but if I ever do, I know where to go! Would recommend. read more

They went way above and beyond. I came in with a broken tail light and they fixed 3 other scrapes free of charge! Very professional.

The professionalism, and courtesy is definitely there. Not warm and fuzzy just a matter-of-fact way. They went the extra mile and brought my car to my job, when I reminded them I can't randomly walk off work. Their focus is seemingly geared toward the insurance company, than the insured. I had a defect that popped up after the accident, they said it was diagnosed to be unrelated which we disagree with them. Overal. I give 4.5 stars. read more

I did business yesterday with Leandro Abenoja on Taylor Street. He was a great consultant. He took care of my car and I was a happy customer. They also repaired my car earlier this year and my car looked fantastic. read more

I would like to thank both Jeff Ryan and Keaton Singer! They welcomed me to the shop. They were very friendly and very informative about their process. I felt welcomed and respected. I was well informed on the status of my car dyring the repairs! I have never had such a great experience! I greatly recommend there shop! Thank you Jeff and Keaton! read more

Do you love your vehicle? I do! Do you find yourself parking far away from other vehicles in a parking lot in hopes that no one parks next to you? I do! Would you be so sad if someone crashed into your vehicle? I was! I love, love, love my 4Runner! Just got it a couple of years ago...brand new! I take very good care of it and anyone that has been in the passenger seat would tell you the same thing. My 4Runner recently got t-boned on my front passenger side. There was a lot of damage done to the vehicle. I was upset and sad that my car was damaged, and nervous about repairs. My suspension (and many other components) of my vehicle were all "pushed in". There was visible body damage as well. How would I know what body shop to use since I have never needed one? I got a referral to Michael J's the day of the accident. I called them and had a very reassuring conversation with Jeff regarding the repairs of my 4Runner. He said all of the right things. I could tell that he knew exactly what he was talking about. My 4Runner was at their 4th street shop just a few hours after the accident. From the time my car landed at their shop...all the way until I picked it up (one day shy of 3 weeks) my estimator, Keaton, kept in contact with me in regards to what was going on with my repairs. He sent me an estimate, provided updates as to when parts were ordered, when parts arrived and how my repairs were coming along. I never had to ask for any of those things because he was so fantastic at keeping me in the loop each step of the way. I picked up my 4Runner and it looked like it had never been in an accident. Better news...it drives just like it did before the accident. Michael J's is a certified Toyota shop. If you go to their website, they are also certified for other automotive brands. From start to finish, this was a pleasant experience. Everyone I spoke to was wonderful. And mad props to the team of people that did miracle work on my 4Runner! I never want to see anyone from there again because that means something happened to my 4Runner...ha...BUT if anything ever does happen to my 4Runner...I would NOT go anywhere other than Michael J's. I highly recommend them for their knowledge, customer service and skill level! 10 out of 10 Zero complaints 1000% Satisfied Customer read more

The service was great, very professional, courteous and the finished results were exceptional. I would highly recommend Michael J's to friends and family. read more

Michael J's Collision Centers - Front end damage. Very satisfying outcome. - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

Our car was involved in an accident where there was not only body damage, but suspension and alignment issues. Michael J's worked directly with the insurer, got the damage assessed, parts orders and back on the road in record time. And the car looks perfect and drives excellent. Best shop around and it's a family business with Jeff the owner working along sided his son, and the rest of the staff and little dog on site all treated us like family too! Thanks Jeff and Evan!" read more

So we have found the best car repair place in San Jose. Michael J's Collision Center. The guy who helped us is Keaton Singer. My daughter has a well loved 7 year old car w 92K and it had a few small non-mechanical issues. (Gas cap kept getting stuck closed, weather stripping on sun roof was coming off, license plate light had come loose and was dangling) At the Kia dealer they quoted her $2000 to fix these minor repairs. We just happened to drive by this shop and on a whim stopped in and checked to see if they could give us a quote. They not only did that but fixed all three items on the spot for basically nothing! They don't do under the hood or tires but it seemed they can do most everything else. Wouldn't go anywhere else now for basic repairs or body work. read more

Michael J's Collision Centers - Business card - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

Had a bumper replaced on a 2017 Toyota Prius here a few months ago (August 2025) and I have no complaints. The paint has held up perfectly so far, and the parking sensors along with the other systems that use the bumper's equipment all work exactly the same as before. I actually had a small delay in the replacement process, but Hung called me to let me know. He also disclosed why there was a delay, which was because he saw imperfections in the paint, which I really appreciated. There is an Enterprise close by to this location, which made getting into a rental car very easy; they called Enterprise for a shuttle, and it was a quick ride to their building. Overall, I would definitely recommend based on the quality of their work and the whole experience. Not sure how competitive their pricing is; I didn't compare quotes because the costs were covered by insurance in my case. This repair came out to be $2400, so make of that what you will. read more

This was my first time ever being in an accident in the 16-ish years I have been driving, so I was not sure what to expect. The staff were very friendly and emphasized my AAA membership benefits. I was pleased that they're also a Toyota certified auto body shop. Hung helped me with the majority of the process. He took the time to explain everything--from the repairs to rental car to warranties--in detail and answered all of my questions. He was communicative, friendly, and professional, as were the other staff. My average wait time was around 2 minutes, which is awesome. I was nervous about my car being unfixable due to the unibody design and location of the damage, but Hung called over the senior auto body specialist who took one look at it and said "no problem!" They certainly delivered on their promises. My car literally looks better than the day I drove it off of the dealership lot. All said and done, it only cost me $500 for my deductible. I hope I don't have another accident, but if I did, I would definitely come back to this auto body shop! Thank you to Hung and the rest of the team. read more

Amazing Bodyshop, very very helping staff. I went there with small dent and one other body shop gave un-necessary bill 0f 1$000 and same could be just fixed by cleaning paint residue. Lee just cleanup right away and car just become like new. Thanks to this place for being so helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend for any car related repair work read more

Everyone was really nice and the tech, Tony, who helped me was really good about keeping me updated with everything going on, from the initial inspection, to additional repairs needed, even the back and forth insurance calls he was dealing with. I definitely recommend this place for any collision repairs. read more

Although this place may be good, during my visit I witnessed a staff member using profane and boastful language while speaking loudly on speakerphone with a customer or acquaintance. It was completely unnecessary and highly unprofessional-- IMHO, ownership of the place doesn't excuse that behavior. Thankfully I was there by myself and not with my kids. read more

Brought my Toyota Camry for repairs after a vehicle had side swiped me and after my car being with Michael J for 6 business days, it looks perfect . You can't even tell I was hit and to provide the extra detail service was worth the money. Thank you MJ for a great experience. Check out their affordable Car Care Packages. You will not be disappointed. read more

I do not believe in perfection, but my goodness this place might have me rethinking that. I have a matte finish paint and live in the East Bay. My car was hit, which damaged the entire front end, and some of the hood. I found well-established collision shops in my area, but none were comfortable with the specialization required for the Matte finish or they didn't covey confidence they could match the color precisely. I eventually found Michael J's (Jeff - owner). I explained my need, my worry, and the hesitation expressed by other shops. Jeff's reply: "I will have your car looking like a new, matte isn't a problem". We chatted a few times before bringing it in, but again, after not finding shops I trusted within an hour of my location. I decided to invest in the 65-mile drive. Once at the shop, Evan took over the oversight, and like Jeff, he was awesome to work with. Awesome end-to-end customer service. Communication was great. The results? The car looks like it did when I purchased it. Incredible work and the matte paint is an absolute match. Happy customer i'll post pictures later read more

My car insurance company recommended me this place for my car repair and I was satisfied with the results. The employees were kind and walked me through what was needed to be fixed by physically pointing which was super helpful. My car was fixed within a week and my car looked good as new. Would recommend to anyone for an easy breezy car repair experience! read more

Took my car in for a quote to Michael J's on fourth street and John Mendoza became my estimator. After discussing my options and turn around time I decided to stick with John. He kept me updated throughout the whole process and John had me back on the round within five business days. I definitely recommend doing business with Michael J's Body Shop. read more

Michael J's Collision Centers - Car roof repaint - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

I brought my car in for a bumper replacement and this shop was phenomenal. Evan helped me out from start to finish and the quality of customer service and care was beyond impressive. Evan was able to squeeze me in for the service even though it was clear they were very busy and booked for weeks. The entire job was finished in 1 day but I was skeptical when they told me the car was ready so soon. The color of my car is more specialized so other body shops in the past always took extra days just to get the paint job right, and even then it didn't match well. But this time, this shop finished quickly and the finished paint job looks absolutely beautiful. Evan kept me updated on the progress of the work and I could not be happier with the experience. They worked efficiently with my insurance and they made it super easy to get a rental car when I dropped off my car. I would absolutely recommend them and I would definitely go back for any other auto body work. read more

Tony was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. He proactively communicated and negotiated with the insurance company, which made everything much smoother. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Michael J's did an awesome job on my 2014 Sierra. Would recommend them without a doubt. Shout out to David, Lee, and Spencer. R.Scott read more

Customer oriented advisory! They did a fantastic work and transparent with the pricing. Exceptional quality

Recently got into an accident and got referred by my insurance to Michael J's Body Shop. Monique and Keaton helped me with the whole process from getting an estimate to getting/returning a rental car. I didn't have to make arrangements for anything and they promised to get my car repaired within the same week I brought it. I ended up getting my car a day earlier than expected and they were very accommodating with time. They also painted over my little door dings as a courtesy to make it less noticeable. Thank you so much for a great service! Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Great job from Michael J's as they got my car looking PERFECT after it was stolen/damaged. Shoutout to John M. specifically who was assigned to my vehicle and provided great customer support as well as thorough explanation of every problem there was. Everyone at the shop showed great support and assisted when John was not available. Definitely a recommended shop!! read more

The Body Shop here does a good job. Would recommend They Work on my car and did a good Job read more

This was my second time using Michael J's; at no fault of my own. Everything was very smooth from estimate, drop off, arranging rental car, and final pickup. They did ALL of the communication with the insurance company ... very seamless. They finished much earlier than expected and the area fixed looks brand new. They also gave my car a good wash. I'll probably go back for some detailing in the future. read more

I am very grateful for the repairs that Michael J's Body Shop did on my Lexus GS350. My car was at the shop for literally ONE DAY! For some context, my vehicle was involved in an uninjured hit and run while I was parked at my job. I was completely devastated because they left no information, and I was unable to obtain camera footage of the incident. My headlight and bumper needed to be replaced. This was my first time going to Michael J's for vehicle repair. John assisted me through out the process. He provided me with excellent customer service. I was worried about how long the repairs would take, and literally the day after I dropped off my car - it was ready to be picked up!! Not only did Michael J's fix my vehicle in less than 24 hours after drop off, but they went above and beyond in making my car look brand new! read more

Leandro provided excellent service. I went in for an estimate to repair my Honda Pilot, and he thoroughly looked at my vehicle, priced the part, and quickly prepared an estimate. I was given a ride back home. The repairs were done quickly, and I was kept informed of everything. My car was washed and returned to me on time and looked great! Thanks again for everything! read more

My Toyota Highlander was hit with a falling branch as I was driving on Pine Avenue, San Jose. The windshield was cracked, sunroof was shattered and the hood and roof were dented. Later it was discovered there was more damage done to the electronics controlling the temperature and the trim around the windshield. Evan was assigned to my car's repair. He gave me updates during the 30-day repair process, and reassured me that the job would be done thoroughly and professionally. He would not allow shortcuts or sub-par parts to be used. He worked with my insurance company's claim adjuster without an issue. I would recommend Michael J's Body Shop to anyone needing car damage repair. read more

If you're going to be a repeat customer somewhere, a body shop probably isn't the first place you'd think of. But, Michael J's is THE place for my vehicles in need of auto body repair and painting -- every time. Hung was pleasant, explained everything in great detail, and took good care of my Tesla Model 3, just as Jeff did last year with our Toyota Prius. Their craftsmanship is top notch and there's never a worry with regard to paint match. Upon delivery, my car was cleaned both inside and out, as usual. NOTE: Not sure if this still holds true, but to pay your deductible, there used to be a 3% surcharge on credit cards. No personal checks accepted, but debit card is fine. read more

Took me four times as long to write a review as it took them to fix my car. The front of our new Grand Highlander was wrecked, with the engine thankfully undamaged. Dealership recommended I drive to Michael J's, where Jeff put me at ease and provided all the information I needed, including answering questions that made it easier to deal with insurance. Keaton kept me constantly informed on progress and 10 days later the car looked as good as new with all original parts and warranty (including paint!). Bottom line: great people, great work, free car wash, 10/10. read more

This review is long overdue- Keaton was fantastic to work with replacing parts damaged from vandalism on my wife's 2001 Toyota Solara. Unfortunately some of the parts were no longer available even on the secondary market but we determined we could get by without replacing those and only under a close inspection would you be able to notice. Can't say enough goods things about the experience read more

The team at Michael J's were extremely professional and friendly from estimate to final delivery. I brought my car in for some repainting after a minor scrape. They walked me through the work that would be done and gave me a very thorough estimate, answering my questions along the way. The work was fast and excellent. My car was ready and detailed in 3 days. They were even ready to stay a little late if I got stuck in traffic on my way to pick up. Everything about my experience there was smooth. I'd not hesitate to return if I need any future work. read more

Came here twice since they repainted my door from the dealership and recently debadged my car to find out they super glued my badges on my rear door so it chipped paint and stayed on the paint. Thought they would use 3M adhesive but turns out not the case and now I have a weird looking door read more
