I had some issues with my ABS sensor and fender liner, and the team at Michael J's Shop was honest and transparent throughout the assessment and repair process. Lee, the representative I worked with, was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and resourceful. He provided fair and honest pricing for all the repairs, clearly explained the work that needed to be done, and ensured everything was completed in a timely manner. I truly appreciated the professionalism and excellent customer service. read more

Honestly, great service from start to finish. Everyone was professional, friendly, and very helpful throughout the entire process. This was actually my second time coming here, this time to repair my wife's car. Leandro and his team did a fantastic job keeping me updated the whole way. They even arranged for Enterprise to pick me up within minutes, which made things really convenient. Leandro also called during the repair to keep me posted on the progress. Pickup was quick and easy, and the repair quality was top-notch. I've now brought both of my cars here and wouldn't hesitate to come back if I ever need repairs again. Highly recommended! read more

I got into a car accident 9/25/25 and I use Geico as my insurance. The car was received by Michael J's 9/26/24. This repair was done by Michael J's starting October. The damage was on front right side of my car which stemmed from the bumper all the way to the passenger side door. Front window and door was not damaged and there are more details for the repair but I wanted to mention the general idea of the work done. Another thing to note is I drive a 2022 Toyota Rav4 Prime which is relevant because its a recent car and no customizations so the parts should be easily available. Michael J's is also an approved repair shop by Geico so this process should have been seamless. The summary of this negative review is this: The repair took almost 60 days to be completed from dropping my car off at Michael J's lot to driving my car off. I had to pay over an additional month for my car rental which was over $1000. Many things to note but here are some highlights: -My car was in their lot for over 2 days and when the Geico adjuster finally made it onsite, they couldn't find the car which pushed back the adjuster to come back onsite. -I receive 3 calls about signing paperwork to start the work which was difficult since this was my only car. This took 2 days and by the 2nd day, I found out they could have just emailed me instead of have me sign it in person (the first calls they did not tell me this was an option) -I get a total of 2 calls back from Michael J's -I called 6 times asking for status checks -Michael J's had to submit 5 Supplemental estimate requests to Geico I've talked with 2 random shops around San Jose with 4+ star ratings about how much time the work should have taken and just focusing on the time alone, 4-6 weeks was the turnaround time. That's with a buffer for waiting for parts and some adjustments to the estimate. I did my due diligence as well calling the adjuster FOR the repair shop because the repair shop sent in a supplemental estimate that hasn't been addressed for days, I talked with both Geico and Michael J's to see if they can help with car rental or discounts, and I asked them for status checks 1-2 times a week after the first month of not receiving my car. AFTER all of this, I sent an email to both the representative handling my repair for Michael J's and Geico clarifying what happened throughout the whole process to determine if there was someone truly at fault and if so, which party. I sent this email on December, and as of today I have not received any replies from either parties. If anyone is curious about the whole endeavor and wants to know more details, you can ping me and I can send you the email I sent out to them. Overall, the 4.8 star rating for Michael J's is misleading and I will not return to do any repairs with them and would caution anyone planning to work with them to. P.S. I don't want to leave anything out but the person in charge of my repair offered 3 free detailing work for my car to offset the cost I paid for the rental car which I don't need. read more

I brought my truck to Michael J's for repairs after a recent accident. The driver's side bed and rear were damaged. From the moment I called to schedule an initial consultation, my experience with the customer service was exceptional. Every staff member I interacted with was incredibly helpful. However, I want to specifically thank Sergio for his outstanding work. He handled all the communication, status updates, and ensured that my experience at the shop was hassle-free and as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Michael J's. My experience there was fantastic. read more

After making a quick Mitsuwa run, I exited the plaza and was making a protected left turn on Moorpark/Saratoga when I heard a huge THUMP hitting my car on a blind spot. Lo and behold, someone decided to speed through their right turn and hit me after I completed my protected left turn. The accident left a gnarly gash on my car while their car left their bumper hanging (literally). We exchanged insurances with mines recommending me to go to Michael J's so I got everything set up and made an appointment the following week. This all occurred in November. My misfortune continued as the day after the accident, my dad had stroke and then passed away in December followed by scheduling his funeral in January. I needed my car to attend to these related matters so I had to call in and reschedule my appointment multiple times which started out in Late November and eventually, I was able to schedule and come in late April. In terms of rescheduling, everyone was super patient and accommodating to my circumstances but be careful to keep your chats open to keep track of everything since it's harder to just call-in. Then again, my rescheduling spanned out within 4-5 months so it might be just me. I finally brought my car in to get it looked at and fixed in late April where Sergio took care of me. He was very friendly and helpful by digging through my claim from November and processing what needed to be fixed. Additionally, he was able to help me fix my passenger door when it wouldn't lock for free after I got my car back. I cannot comment on price as everything was covered for me but in terms of service, everyone was friendly, the work took barely a week, and it was nice to track my car through the online chat in seconds. read more

Michael J's did amazing work on my wife's Crosstrek. After we were rear-ended on our weekend getaway, the missus was quite distraught as this was her car's first accident. The other party's insurance (AAA) referred us to this shop and we could not be happier. Our car was returned in better condition before the accident, as they did an amazing job with the bumper (plus used the excess paint they mixed to cover up a random chip on the door) and did a quick wash before we picked it up. One of the owners (I think his name was Spencer) even ended up giving me a ride to Enterprise for the rental car as their pick-up service was running behind. If you're ever in the unfortunate position of needing body work, I highly recommend this shop. read more

Michael J's Collision Centers - It's my new bumper that was repaired. - Body Shops Near Me - San Jose, California

Sergio Sanmiguel is super helpful and professional. A part under my car was falling down, and he immediately helped me take care of it and explained everything clearly. This is my second time coming here, and both experiences have been excellent. What I really appreciate is that they are genuinely honest and trustworthy. They don't try to upsell or overcharge, and the pricing is very fair -- definitely not overpriced at all. It's hard to find a place like this where you actually feel taken care of and not taken advantage of. I feel very comfortable and confident bringing my car here, and this will definitely be my go-to place from now on. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable service. read more

My car has visited Michael J's Body Shop twice. The first time was @ 2 years ago and based on the expert job done then when I needed some body work done again, I did not hesitate to take my business to them again. Spencer Ryan gave me an estimate on the repairs and oversaw the job from there on. From Esther at the front desk to Spenser saying good-by and everyone in between, everything was handled expertly with smiles, friendliness and most of all unbelievably exceptional work! They matched 10+ year old paint perfectly, made my car look like new and even did a job on a side mirror gratis. I don't have enough superlatives to give this business and all of their people. If you find yourself needing to have bodywork done on your vehicle get to Michael J's!!! read more

I was referred to Michael J's through AAA and review is long overdue - and if anything - the craftsmanship around a year in has been sound and flawless. I came in for a small dent and was treated like family! Sergio and the team walked me through the entire process of how they would fix the dent. They were surprisingly candid in explaining why steps needed to be done and it made me feel confident the job was going to be done right. They even detailed my car afterwards which made me feel like a valued customer. I got to talk with the guys who loved my TL-S and got the sense they are real car guys and love working on cars. I would feel 100% confident to bring in further vehicles for service. read more

After I was involved in a fender bender I began agonizing knowing that I'd have to deal with insurance, a body shop, car rental.. ugh. I was so fortunate to find Lee at Michael J's. I was blown away at the level of customer service they provide. The overall experience exceeded expectations. In addition to providing me with regular updates to the repairs they managed much of the car rental process and requirements of the insurance carrier as well. In the end my car looked better than before I had been in the accident! I rarely take the time to write reviews but Michael J's has restored my faith in shops take pride in their work and their reputation. Shout out to Spencer in the garage and Esther in the office as well. They excel at their jobs and are a pleasure to interact with. read more

Stopped in due to small repair need to the front of my car. The insurance company gave me a list and I picked this location due to all the good reviews. Sergio helped me and promised to have my car out the door ion the 3rd day. He was right, all done one time and he waited after they closed so I can pick up my car. Another guy named Le was nice and helped. The bottom line everyone in the shop have a kind professional attitude. read more

Went to this shop on a referral from a very satisfied customer. Now I'd like to pass the referral on! Lee was excellent in walking me through all the steps of what repairs were needed.

Lee was awesome. He worked patiently with me through a confusing insurance issue. The work was done quickly and the repair looks great.

Michael J's auto shop felt like a family to us. It was our first visit to get a quote on a fender-bender repair for our Toyota Corolla. My wife and I felt very comfortable talking to Dad and his son. They spent time explaining to us to process. We got to know the family and were very pleased with the excellent service. The car was ready on time as promised in a mint condition again. I highly recommend this family-owned shop and will refer all my friends who need auto-body work to Michael J's. They deserve our support! read more

If Michael J's was a restaurant, it would be a 3-star Michelin establishment. Work: Flawless! We had a bumper that was dented and paint was scuffed. They removed the entire bumper, took care of the dent, and a bunch of additional nicks and scratches that were not part of the accident. Customer Service: Exceptional! Sergio worked with me on the price since I was paying out of pocket. Best of all, I stopped by to ask his opinion on some light scratches on my motorcycle and he had one of his guys buff them out right then and there; no charge. I tipped the guy, but wow! The follow up with texts and emails was great and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. I hope I never have to use a collision center again, but it is comforting to know that I never have to think twice about which one to use if I need to use one. Thank you Michael J'd and thank you Segio. read more

They were amazing. Special kudos to Leandro for being the consummate professional and a joy to work with!

Definitely recommend Michael J's for body shop work. Lee was great from start to finish with the whole process. No hiccups with insurance. They are on the busier side, so the only downside is you may have to wait a bit before they can start on your job, but they kept exactly on schedule. read more

Michael J,s - a very professional company. Got into a fender bender, insurance recommended this company. Called and set up appointment for that day. Talked with Sergio, he evaluated the damage and quoted a price. I knew I was in the right place. So I went with them. He order the part right then and put me on the schedule. 2day's later I brought my brand new truck in. They got right to work, and job was completed within 2day's. Excellent work was done, couldn't tell it was ever damaged. Bang I was thrilled. Pricing was very reasonable, timing was right on and work performed was the best! Everything complete in less the 7 days of accident. This is my shop, won't go any other place if needed. I would recommend this shop to every one. If you are looking for a body shop call Michael J's and talk to Sergio, he will hook you up. Huge Thank you to Sergio @ Michael J's,! read more

We had our 2020 Highlander get rear-ended and had no idea where to take it. Found this shop online and honestly, we were a little nervous at first--so many sketchy body shops out there. But this place? Total opposite. Super professional, honest, and their work is top notch. Lee took care of us from start to finish. He kept us updated every step of the way--insurance stuff, progress, even possible delays. He was the best! Communication was on point. When we picked up the car, it looked brand new again. They even cleaned the inside and gave it a mini detail, which was a nice surprise. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Quality work, great customer service, and solid turnaround time. Definitely recommend these guys if you want peace of mind and your car looking right again. read more

When someone hit my 2022 Toyota Tundra in a parking lot I wanted to be sure that the work I had done was perfect - I work really hard to keep my truck in pristine condition. A friend recommended Michael J's and I am so glad he did. Leandro (aka Lee) was awesome to work with. Not only was his customer service top notch, but his whole team have a super-high standard of workmanship. He also made sure I got the right amount from insurance for the repair. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend using this shop for any of your repair needs. The photos speak for themselves. read more

I used to work in the auto industry and was always told if I wanted my repairs done to the highest standard, to come to Michael J's. Unfortunately I have been a repeat customer with my Miata, but both times the work has been impeccable. This body shop isn't in my insurance network (Liberty Mutual) but working with Lee made everything flow smoothly. I was rear ended in early February (on the corner of taylor and coleman, which is actually right where the shop is coincidentally) and after figuring out all of the insurance details I brought my Miata in for an in person estimate. Lee made sure to listen to my concerns and special requests as I already had an aftermarket spoiler I wanted to use instead of ordering the oem one as well as ordering the trunk without the pre drilled holes. Additionally, I was wondering if instead of reinstalling the badges, if they could just fill the pin holes in the bumper since they were already doing labor on the bumper and they were able to get it done! If you ask anybody that knows me, they will mention how meticulous I am and how important color match as well as texture match are to me and both turned out perfect to me, even coming from a former Mazda employee who constantly saw what these cars look like factory fresh or even poorly repaired. After all was said and done the process took about a week and a half including ordering parts, and Lee was communicative throughout the process which I was grateful for. Even though put of network, Lee was able to work directly with my insurance so I didn't have to worry about that on my end. I definitely recommend Michael J's. read more

I reached out to my local Toyota dealership and asked them which body shop they work with when fixing their vehicles. They emphatically said Michael J's. So, after my Toyota Grand Highlander was heavily damaged due to someone opening their car door while i was driving by them, I chose them to fix my car. My insurance company initially gave a low estimate on the job so Michael J's reached out to my insurance company and coordinated a follow up estimate with them. After they both agreed on the new estimate, the work commenced. This took about 2 weeks to complete and had additional coordination/follow ups between myself, Michael J's, and my insurance company. During those 2 weeks, Leandro Abenoja aka Lee, was my POC from Michael Js. I cant say enough good things about Lee. He kept me apprised daily and provided excellent customer service. He answered all my inquiries during the entire process and made me feel at ease that my car was in good hands. When I got my car back, my car was good as new. I couldn't have asked for better results. They also touched up a few paint chips that I didn't even notice was there. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this body shop. Ask for Lee =) read more
