I'm very disappointed with Mike's because of their customer service. I had a small accident and my mirror was broken. I took it to Mike to get an estimate and I inquired when they would be available to repair it should I decide to go with them (I was still comparing quotes). They told me that they would be able to schedule me within 2 weeks. They got me the estimate and the work was small (less than $1k). A couple weeks later, I went back because I was then ready to do the repair. They looked up the previous quote they gave me and they told me that I had to wait 3 months before they had "time" to do the work. I was very shocked. Wow, are you that busy or you just did not want my business because it was too small of a job? Perhaps, I'm being judgemental, but it just seems very odd that previously they had openings in 2 weeks and suddenly everything was filled up after a couple weeks and I had to wait 3 months for a mirror to be fixed. read more

Customer service is horrible Apparently they're certified as a AAA partner agency so I kind of had no choice when it came to choosing a provider for my auto assessment. I felt the assessor was kind BUT that front desk person ... some woman (kind of heavy set) don't know her name and I don't care - is horrible. Her interpersonal skills are lacking Her tone demeanor and body language are off putting She doesn't smile Doesn't greet customers with warmth Doesn't change her tone of voice when leaving a Voicemail Message Has snark when you call her back Sorry your life sucks but you chose this job And I get the feeling she lacks accountability and likes to complain I received several calls from them after having my auto assessment completed last week but I can't make any moves until AAAtells me who is liable - I refuse to pay out of pocket for an accident I didn't cause ... so I finally call back and open with the first part of this statement and was rudely interrupted by her. she told me (with attitude and snark) that they're required by federal law to contact us so .. yea.. sorry Umm- calm your butt down Had she held her tongue and waited I would've clarified that I wasn't calling to complain about the calls, but to let them know I can't do anything until AAA calls me back. When I do have my car fixed I will not go through This company because of her. Find a career where you don't have to talk to customers - particularly customers faced with an expensive purchase (e.g. cars ) read more

My reflect like was broken and bumper scratched up. I was scratched up too Jorge put my mine at ease. The young ladies there was awesome too. and the guy who answer my question about returning the rental. Thanks Mike Auto Love Nicole read more

DO NOT TAKE YOU CAR HERE! I never do Yelp reviews or trying to destroy a company's name, but this is unacceptable. I was rear ended by a motorcycle and my passenger rear quarter panel was destroyed: through insurance this was a auto body shop on the list, and I figured why not it's close to my home. Dropped the car off signed my paperwork and I was on my way. Called once with a update that they are waiting on parts, and another call on a Monday to tell me the body work was done and will be ready for pickup that same Friday, and I will get a call Friday to set up a time to pick up. Made arrangements to get off work early to pick it, and never received a call. I had to call them to tell me it's delayed didn't get painted yet. Following week same thing: got a call saying it will be ready Friday and they will give me a call. Had to call them for them to say it's delayed... this "delayed" process went on for 3 weeks. Tried being understanding so I didn't care much: stay patient/calm. The week my car was ready I got tired of schedule myself off or to get off early for no reason so I just had my dad pick up the car. I was on FaceTime with my dad the whole process: they didn't even walk with my dad outside to over look the car just gave the keys and paperwork. My dad said the car is dusty: in my head I'm thinking normal dust from the car sitting. I get home to see my fucking car caked in shop dust & paint residue! The fucking shit is everywhere and into everything! My car is a 2019 and was practically still new inside hardly no wear and tear at all. My inside is ruined with this shit everywhere: carpet, roof, vents, seats...etc THIS IS NOT HOW YOU FUCKING GIVE SOMEBODY THEIR CAR BACK! they did no steps to mask off the interior of my car and on some parts sprayed my carpet with paint residue and tried to hide it with the plastic. Paid fucking $300 to get my inside detailed which some parts still didn't come out! Had to gut my fucking car! I will be calling my insurance company because this shit is not okay and it's that bad as far as the shop dust and paint residue it's fucking every where!! read more

One thing certain about this place is, they won't bother to communicate anything to you, you have to chase down and call multiple times before you can even get an idea what they are doing to the car or when your car is done. I have a small crack on my headlight because I bump into a deer and it took them 3 weeks (and its not even done) in the mid of my vacation week. I tried to get them to give me some clarity on when the car can be done because it is pretty stressful to manage insurance rental, car fixes while you are trying to travel and go to the airport the next day. No call back so far. read more

Car accident. Someone hit me. I filed a claim with my ins. Mike's is a great place! Friendly, reliable and timely! They took good care of my car and kept me informed every step of the way!!! Lois was my estimator. Awesome dude!!! read more

DO NOT take your car here for repair. We needed the door to our car fixed. They quoted us one price and said they'd have it for a week. A few days after dropping it off they sent us an updated quote for a full $1,000 more than the estimate. Called to make sure we could still come pick the car up when we expected to and they said they needed it for another full week because they had just ordered more of the parts they needed to fix it. read more

Mike's Auto Body in Richmond, CA was GREAT! Duane was the best through out the process very informative kept me up to date with everything called me almost everyday to let me know the progress of the car. Most importantly kept me in detail with the car and the work it needed to be done confirmed with me first before started any repairs that i was ok with everything. I give them a 10/10 very professional team and service! I definitely recommend them. Thanks Duane and your team! read more

Totally in cahoots with AAA. They will quote you one price, take your car apart, and then tell AAA the repair will actually cost thousands of dollars more. If your car is even a few years old, AAA will total it. Use this company with caution... read more

My car was broken into and attempted theft. My insurance told me to pick a place to take my vehicle for an estimate. I'm beyond happy picking Crash Champions. Fiat they were very patient from the beginning. They listen to my dreadful story how I was a victim of a Tiktok challenge. They were very clear and communicative with the time frame that they needed to make the needed repairs. Alondra helped me when I needed to pick up my car. She was so sweet and kind. She explained every detail of what happened and walked me through checking out. She made me feel like every step was taken to ensure the continued safety of my vehicle by the entire team as well. I appreciated her energy and care while I was in the office. I was even able to leave my rental there for the rental place to pick up since they partner together. My car was all cleaned up and smelled good upon getting it back. I will return there for any repairs in the future. Thank you crash champions for being there when I needed you. read more

I went in on a Thursday to have a vehicle inspection. I was told that I would receive an email with the estimate by the end of the day. I did not. I called Friday they said it looks like someone was getting it prepared and will probably be sending it by the end of the day. It did not arrive. Then I called again on Monday and I spoke with someone who Who said that they would talk to Jorge and they would even leave a note on their own desk to remind them to get back to me by the end of that day. And of course no one did. And here it is Wednesday, I called back and they said I should expect the email today. (We'll see) The other thing I would like to mention is about 2 years ago I took a car there for a Repair estimate. The price I was quoted was more than $2000 higher then the other three body shops I went to. read more

This place is the absolute worst at repairing cars they picked up my car on Christmas Eve told me that it would be ready on Friday January 10th, Friday comes along after I took the day off of work to wait for the car. about 30 minutes before they said the car be ready I called them getting update. they tell me my car is not turning on and they don't know what's wrong with it. I told them to check the battery they said it wasn't covered under my insurance. EVEN though the tow truck driver had to jump start the car to get it on the tow truck at the site of the accident. but the car was fine before I got into an accident. fast forward they said Monday the car be ready same thing happens 30 minutes before the shop closes I called to find out an update they said my car will not hold a charge after they trying to charge the battery again I told them to replace the battery that did not happen so they told me again it'll be ready on Wednesday, Wednesday comes and still no car. And we told them we're going out of town which gave them even more time to fix the car. it is now Friday January 24th they have had my car in their possession for a month I show up to pick up my car the paint is two different colors. they try to tell me it's because this piece is metal and this piece is plastic. well if that's the case how come the metal and plastic on the back of the car match and the paint on the front of the car does not match. Upon closer inspection I discovered the little plastic pieces are not even aligned correctly or popped into place correctly and they're trying to That's how is supposed to look no way in hell am I okay with that read more

Don't waste your time. I came here for a quote to fix a bumper and they gave me two quotes. The first, to be covered by my insurance and the second, a 300 dollar out of pocket fee on top of the first fee because they would not paint my bumper to match the rest of my car unless I gave them extra money. Eek! Methinks not, is correct. I took my car elsewhere and got it fixed with no hassle. read more

Check it ur for yourself and come back and reply to my post, agreeing to my experience. John and the rest of the employees, GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM. read more

This shop is absolute garbage. Do not patronize this shop. They were recommended by Allstate and I got an inspection on a Monday morning, expecting an estimate within a day or two. I called on Friday when I hadn't heard from them all week, only to find out that they sent the estimate to the wrong email address. An understandable but unfortunate mistake. After looking at our availability, I called back on Monday to schedule the work. Vanessa Castillo told me that Sean, the estimator, had stepped out and that she needed to ask him whether he had already ordered the necessary parts. She said she'd call me back shortly. 3 hours later I called again only to find that Vanessa had not had a chance to ask Sean because the shop was busy and understaffed. I expressed concerns that if I did use the shop, they would be unable to fulfill their commitment to finish the work as scheduled, particularly if they were understaffed. I learned that the computer database does not include information regarding whether the parts were ordered and that Sean was with a customer and could not provide the needed information. I asked, politely and respectfully, whether Vanessa could briefly interrupt Sean to have him answer this yes or no question for me, given the history of delays. I was put on hold. Then my call was picked up by Alondra who informed me that the shop was rejecting my business because they "have a right to refuse service to anyone." I asked why they would prefer to reject my business and lose the income rather than provide better customer service, but Alondra merely trumpeted a false narrative that I had somehow been "abusive" or "un-civil." She was not willing to respond substantively to my inquiries and then threatened to tell Allstate that I am a problematic customer. I asked to speak with the manager and was told that Sean is, in fact, both the manager and the person who rejected my business. Alondra refused to provide Sean's last name (or her own) and she described her role at the business as "answering phones," while being as repellant as possible from a customer service perspective. Given that my inquiries were reasonable based on my experience, as were the misgivings I expressed about their ability to perform the work and manage my expectations, I have to consider whether there was some other reason that Sean and his staff mistreated me and rejected my business. As the manager, Sean should be aware that his conduct may have the appearance of racial profiling and he and Alondra did nothing to mitigate that perception. Allstate should remove this shop from its list of recommended vendors. I'll be advising their corporate owners, Crash Champions, LLC (based in Illinois) including Amanda Garcia and Gabriela Sanchez, that Sean and his staff are unreasonably impacting their potential profits and severely damaging their reputation. read more

My husband took his truck in to get repaired! It's been 5 months and we haven't got it back. First it was "stolen" from the shop under their responsibility. Weeks later it was found and they are repairing every damage that was done but all I hear from them is soon we will get the truck back it's been 5 months and we haven't got the truck back ! read more

Apparently cars magically go missing when you bring it to this place. Don't bring your car here unless you don't mind it disappearing.

Car was fixed perfect. Can't complain about the work done. Service and Timeliness... terrible. Why? They wasted a lot of our time. 1) Left the Car on Monday, but they didn't start working on the car until Thursday (and who knows if they even did that). That's 3-4 days I could have used my car that I lost. 2) Total Time to repair a bumper/hood. 2 weeks 2 days. WTH! 3) Almost 2 weeks later. Said it was going to be done on Wed. Wasn't. Said it was going to be done on Friday. Wasn't. Said the paint wasn't dry. Likely they painted the car 4) Picked it up. Car Emblems aren't on. It's sticking on a sticker. My wife to go make a special trip to get them put back on. read more

Warning Warning. Do NOT use this shop. They quote you a price then get with the insurance company and do less work. Mike's auto body will tell you they can take care of a problem then won't do the work. They called me and said my car was ready only for me to find the dent still in the fender. I refused to pick it up, then they replaced said fender and they forgot to install lettering on the car. My minor estimated 5 day repair turned into 5 weeks. There were no updates on what was going on, I had to call several times to ask what was going on. They are THE WORSE. Were they professional acting? Yes. But in doing there work ? Horrific. Do NOT use them. read more

Mike's Auto Body is the best in every way for me. Location, Customer Service, Efficiency, time and Quality! Angelica kept me abreast with progress of my car throughout the repair process. She was beyond great! This is a top level business folks. Highly Recommended! read more

I was referred to Mike's auto body by my insurance company for a claim and was pleasantly surprised at how professional and courtesy everyone was at this business. The building looks abandoned/empty but the customer service is friendly and very polite. Efficient service and reasonable wait time for repairs. The damaged area on my car now looks like new. I can happily recommend them! read more

I had an excellent experience at Mike's Auto Shop. Though nervous after reading the negative reviews below, AAA, my insurer highly recommended I go there and I'm happy I did. They did excellent work and on time! Everyone I came in contract with from the front desk to the estimator and shutter driver were friendly, competent and helpful. read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE!! They have had my vehicle for almost a month now. I kept calling to figure out how long they would have it the first week because I needed a rental to get to work and school. The estimator Jorge never called me back. I had to consistently call him to ask for updates! He finally told me my car would be ready last Friday, it wasn't! I took my rental back on Thursday anticipating that my car would be back. I called Jorge on Thursday letting him know I would need a rental and he said he would call me back Friday, NOTHING!! It's Monday and I'm having to catch a $30 lyft ride to work and probably more to school as well because Jorge has no sense of urgency and obviously is a liar! They take advantage of their customers and have no respect for their time. I will never bring my car here again! read more

If they can even have a star.. horrible job done by them. Not professional at all. My car came out worst instead of looking like before the accident. I take really good care of my car, I wash it and polish it here and then. They seem to stained my car with something all over my car. The bumper was not fix correctly, it was loose. Did not received my license plate. Almost seems like the person who fixed my car was a janitor trying to fix my car.! I REALLY DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL... Not to mention that they took more than one week to fix the bumper and it's still not fixed. Unbelievable.. read more

These people are total professionals and good people. I had my front bumper torn half off while backing over a curb. I stopped in Mike's on the recommendation of my regular mechanic, who doesn't do body work. The people at Mike's took my information, had the car looked at about 10 minutes later, and the repair was done same day. A truly fantastic experience! read more

Mike's autobody is definitely the place to go for auto body repairs. They take care of people over there especially Juan the manager! He aims for his crew to provide quality and professional service. Juan was very courteous and asked me to contact him directly for any concerns about the repairs. He was very It is not the biggest of their shops but and you would first off you drive your car in what I thought was part of car dealerships' office.Then you are greeted by the receptionist who is professional and offers coffee or donuts / goodies. Next you sit in the waiting area. Its not a big place but people come in and out easy For an estimate so sitting capacity was not an issue for me I think. Then your advisor comes out to meet with you to discuss your vehicle. I got boon.then you drop your car off and then its done in a few days.Very professional and they are actually cheaper than another nearby autobody I asked estimate for. read more

Used to be a great body shop. I used them in the past with a great success. I could have taken my car to any shop, but based on previous experience, I brought it here. Instead of replacing a cheap plastic part, they decided to repair it. Paint came out bad. Refused to fix it when I showed them the problem. Will never bring my car here again. Very disapointing. read more

So having to bring your car in for repairs when it's not your fault is annoying but the process of getting into a rental and dropping my keys off for repairs was very easy. I called in advance and spoke to the new manager Juan Vargas and he assured me my vehicle was in good hands. I got my car back looking like I just bought it. I was stuck in traffic and Juan was able to assure me I could pick up my vehicle after hours. Thank goodness I had a spare key. It was super easy sign papers n leave rental keys in drop box. If I ever need my car fixed I will go back ! Thanks Juan V. read more

Overall a decent job, just found a few things to be fixed at pickup. They fixed the things I found that day.

I am writing this review on behalf of my father. He is very happy with the services provided at this auto body. He had his car fixed in a timely manner and is happy with the results. read more

It was a great experience. Great customer service from the time I checked in my car to picking it up. They made the entire process so easy! My car looks beautiful. Thanks so much Jorge! They even washed it inside and out. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Went here again as my other new car fell victim to a rogue tire on the freeway. As usual greeted with a smile and friendly staff. They repaired my car in half a day. Car looks new again. They keep up this kind of work I will continue to return, when issues arise. read more

Very professional shop! I first spoke with Jackie whom was tremendously caring with all of my concerns, the estimate by Gene was done efficiently, and I received my vehicle before the original excepted date. They made a stressful process extremely easy! read more

I took my car in after a minor parking lot fender-bender, expecting to lose the use of my car and pay a lot of money. Gene Duncan, the manager, took a look and popped the bumper back in place. I was on my way within 20 minutes. Thank you, thank you!!! read more

Mikes auto body was WONDERFUL to me. I was rear ended and struggled with contacting the other party's insurer to pay for repairs. Jackie helped me contact the insurer, collect payments and updated me along the ways. All members of the team were kind, helpful, and kept me updated among the way. I am beyond thrilled with their service. read more

This place is conveniently located in Hilltop and they offer complimentary shuttle service. While my car was in the shop, they kept me up to date through text messaging so I always know what was happening to my car and when it will be ready for pickup. The staff there are very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend them and will definitely come back!! read more

My truck was recently hit and received some damage to the rear panel. The insurance company of the party at fault referred me to Mike's Auto Body. The inconvenience of this whole ordeal is what's frustrating but the customer service and the easiness that Mike's made everything was refreshing. The front desk and Juan the mechanic were awesome. I would definitely return (hopefully under better circumstances) and refer them to others. Top notch customer service goes a long way. read more

They will do a poor job on repairs and take short cuts. The technicians deals with a lot of customers that do not even check under the hood, so they assume you wont look carefully into the damage. If you have any damage that is not visible, ask for pictures of the repair or they will do a half-ass job repairing it or not at all. They will also add hours of labor to things that they have not done. (You can mark bolts or nuts to see if they have taken anything off if you want to make sure). I DO NOT recommend this place because of that work ethic. I'm sure most places are like this or even worse. The only advice that I would recommend is to take a lot of pictures before and after of the damaged area and your whole car right before handing it over. Your smart phone will tell you when and where the picture was taken in the details. (Since they will hold on to it for a few weeks, who knows what other damage they can produce without telling you.) read more

I would say "Customer service by the manager is good but the service was bad! Insurance provider choice. Therefore, we took our car in to this shop on Thursday and was told our car would be ready in 3 days. Got a call Monday (4 days later) and was told the parts were just ordered. And will be done In another extended 3 days. Received a call the car was ready the on the 3rd day. Went to the shop to pick up the car and was told the wrong part was ordered and needed more time!! 1. Wasted time going there when someone should've called to let me know it really wasn't ready 2. We needed our car back the next day for our trip! Spoke to the manager which offered a rental car and said the car would be ready the next day by 12. He offered a rental car and offered that if the car was not ready by 1:30 by the latest he would upgrade the car bc we needed an SUV for our trip. Got a call at 1:30 and it was finally ready! But would it have been if I didn't call and put pressure on them since I needed my car back for my trip. Overall, I do not recommend this place unless you want to play follow up with them all day. read more

Estimate for 1 week repair end up 3 weeks. Don't call your customers say it'll be completed by Tuesday then keep calling 3x for extension to next Tuesday its beyond annoying.
