    S2000 Amuse R1 Titan Hood painted by Palladium Auto Body
    Alejandro A.

    I brought my S2000 to Palladium Auto Body in Hayward to get my Amuse Hood painted, and they did an amazing job. The color match and fit were perfect, the turnaround was quick, and Nick kept me updated throughout the process. Great service and highly recommended!

    They used cheap paint (Nick said to use cheap paint) and now its peeling off

    Its not about the problem, it's about how you handle the problem. The short version: I took my car in to get a hood installed and painted and they used cheap paint on my car and now it's peeling off and they're now ignoring my calls and backing out on their "lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle". Don't believe me? See pictures attached. Big chunks of paint you can clearly see and measure are coming off. The long version: I went to Palladium to get an initial estimate for install and painting a new hood for my car and I was in the office with the manager (Nick) and as Nick was on his computer writing up the estimate, I overheard Nick say to his worker "use the cheap paint". Nick, if you're reading this, don't come on here trying to deny that or spin it around. Tell me in my face that you didn't say and hold a straight face while doing so - do it. I know you won't because it happened. I don't know anything about paint for cars so when I heard Nick say that I didn't think much of it. I let it go. Well fast forward to now, take a look at the pictures. The paint is peeling off everywhere. I came by 3 times in person afterwards and on the first time, I did manage to get a hold of Nick and he told me "let me get back to you, I need to call up our paint supplier" blah blah blah. He has my number and my contact info. I know this because a while back he reached out to me via email out of the blue asking me if I still had my old hood with me because someone else wanted to buy one just like it. I came by again, and he was on the phone and I specifically wrote my number on a note and left it. I said please call me right after. I called a 3rd time and now he locks his door to his office, unlike before, so that no one comes in. He ignored my calls, emails, and repeated visits to ask for answers. Nick, if you're reading this, all you had to do was call me to explain what's happening. It's not the about the problem, it's how you handle it. The other workers there are just doing their job / following orders, so this isn't about them. Maybe the owner will probably come on here to try to explain it all away and spin this around as something that's not their fault and that this is just normal wear and tear. In fact, that's probably what will happen. I would love to see that. If you're looking for an honest body shop, don't support this business. There's plenty of others out there that won't cut corners using your car like this and then ignore your calls when you find out. These guys here try to convince you like they're the only game in town and that the price reflects their quality. Bullshit. Look at how they left my car. If you do go, you'll know you're talking to Nick because he's the only one there walking around wearing that man-bun ‍ of his

    Awesome paint job they did on my bumper. I like to say better than factory finish but then it makes it sound like it wont blend in with a factory car. The bumper was spotless even after the repair to my custom work. I will be back to ask for more customizations in the future. Paint matching yellow isnt easy so I have to be picky who i take my car to.

    First claim with them went great i highly recommend them, will be my shop to go to for all my vehicles. They completed my car in the time frame they gave me. The paint matches perfectly no doubt they do great work!

    Many thanks to Nick and his team at Palladium Auto Body. Nick was quick to respond to our questions and needs. Its 5 star rating is well deserved. I would highly recommend this auto body shop. Thanks again!

    I had my front bumper repaired and repainted by Palladium. Paint matching is on another level. Thank you Nick for squeezing me in your busy schedule. Highly recommend it.

    Very professional. The owner nick always kept me updated on the procedure of my car. when the car was said and done it looked like nothing had ever happened. I strongly recommend these guys they work miracles.

    It doesn't get any better than this. I purchased fiber glass parts online from a reputable website, however, the part came in really messed up, because their molding isn't accurate; ie. part didn't fit me car. I brought my fiber glass fender parts that came in the mail to Palladium Auto Body: not too great looking straight out the box. The result is AMAZING after all is done by these guys here! i got a few other shop in the Bay Area chances too quote me for fiber glass work, most of them declined and said they don't even want to touch it, but the guys here were able to mold and shape them to look so smooth, now it looks as if it's factory. Nick did a great job communicating from the start and sets my expectations right from the beginning. The guys here are honest, and the price I believe is fair for the amount of work! I definitely will send all my friends and anyone I know to here! Not to mention, my car was ready within just a few days and came back washed. Now it's going to get a full wrap!

    Side damage and dents from hit and run.

    I was referred to Nikita by a friend and boy am I happy that I went with the recommendation. It was my first time getting auto repair work done on my baby and I was petrified! Nikita handled the whole situation from start to finish and walked me through the process. He took care of dealing with the insurance companies to handling the rental pick up and drop off so it was convenient and quick! Not only was the service exceptional but the quality of craftsmanship for the repair itself was beautiful!! I couldn't be more happy and my car looks almost brand new! Go with Palladium you will be a Costumer for life. The pictures speak for themselves...

    Happy I came here!
    Alicia O.

    I am so pleased I stopped by this shop and inquired about my scratch and ding on my car. I spoke to Nick who was extremely helpful, very professional and friendly. I was able to make an appointment for my car, and glad I did. I'm thrilled my vehicle looked so much better, and would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

    See all

While they were working on my car about an accident from a driver that took full responsibility. Jose was fired while I was in the hospital for 2 spinal surgeries. I was supposed to have the car fully ceramic coated 90 days after paint was completed. I had just gotten out of the hospital and Juan a new employee called and said it was time to ceramic coat my car. I asked for Juan and was told he no longer works there! Juan said I needed to pay $1800 for the ceramic coating that Juan had included. Juan then said would I pay $800, I said it is included. I met with the manager and Juan and another employee who translated the text to the ceramic coating shop. They verified it was included. Juan conspired with the ceramic coating shop to say they coated the whole car. I met with the owner of that shop and he admitted he only coated the car between the roof rails and the 2 drivers doors. He told me they had not painted the roof down to the doors that I paid an extra $3000 on my own besides the $14000 accident repair. I was told this was the roof, down to the doors. It needed paint to be ceramic coated. Juan told me the roof didn't shine over the doors when he took me to get my car at the shop. He did not know why! I was under doctors care and was not able to go see the ceramic coating shop for awhile. He said they didn't do the whole Cara's it needed paint over the doors. I met with the owner of Fix Auto, Arthur Mercado and he said that the roof is only between the luggage racks? He said he would paint that area and the rear quarter panel for cost at $500. He was supposed to call me for an appointment because I just wanted to get my car done. He was VW on vacation so he said he would call the next week. It is over 2 weeks with no call. I finally involved the insurance company for the driver accepting responsibility. They are supposed to talk to the shop and get back to me. Arthur the owner still won't ceramic coating shop the entire car. I wanted this done at their "Preferred shop" so the insurance company will have a lifetime warranty on the paint. I can't believe what has happened on this repair and the lies. This shop has always been great in the past. They should honor what I was told and expect only that! It is terrible after Jose Arce was fired. I have been going there since 2019 and was always satisfied until now. Jose Arce was the best. The owner said he saw sanding marks on the doors they worked on also. I will possibly change this review after I see what happens.
