Such talent and customer service at a great price!! I've had two important things fixed here... 1. What I thought was a totaled rear bumper 2. My lawn fixture, Frogowitz ;) My bumper was the victim of a hit and run in a parking garage with no cameras. I was convinced it was totaled, but Mr. Peterson was not only able to save my bumper but make it look better than before it was damaged! He saved me the money of having to buy a new bumper and did it in such a timely manner! 2. Frogowitz was badly damaged from a stray ball thrown by the neighbor kids. :( I was so sad and couldn't find any potters that were able to fix him. I asked Mr. Peterson if he would be able to rescue him and come to the rescue he did! He completely restored his arms that were left as a gaping hole and matched the color perfectly! Again, I am blown away! I'm so thankful to Mr. Peterson for taking such care of both my car and lawn fixture! (Which, btw, is now an inside fixture.) :) Thank you, thank you, thank you! read more

Peterson's Collision Repair - Body Shops Near Me - Arcata, California

Gary Peterson and crew did an amazing job fixing the front of my truck after a large redwood branch fell on it. With prompt and concise communication, it was easy to schedule a time for the insurance estimate and then repairs. Peterson's goes above and beyond with the service they provide. Also, when I picked up my truck the interior had been vacuumed and the exterior washed. Now it looks like I have a brand new truck! read more

I've had a couple of misfortunes with my Honda Accord that required body work. I picked these guys initially because the shop was pretty close to home and the reviews seemed pretty stellar. Those previous customers were correct. The first good sign was that there was over a months wait to get in there. Don't worry, they are in demand, its worth it. Once I took the car in the experience had all of the earmarks of a quality operation: time of completion was right on, communication was easy, and the car looked like it had never been in a body shop- flawless. And if that wasn't enough, they cleaned my car! Inside and out, redwood detritus, dust, dirt, all gone. Take your banged up car to these guys, you will not be disappointed. read more

Quality service, cool people. Victor was informative, diligent, and extremely helpful in making sure the parts got there quick. My car was done sooner than anticipated and cleaner than I left it. Super satisfied, super stoked. read more

My truck was hit by a falling tree during a wind storm in the middle of the night. I was told by local friends and co-workers that this was the place to go for the best auto body work in Humboldt County. Victor was so helpful through the whole process communicating with my insurance and making sure that everything was fixed and replaced professionally. He advocated for me and my truck when my insurance company wanted to take shortcuts with the repairs. I would refer Peterson's Collision for any auto body work and to ask for Victor he will help your vehicle look brand new again and the process is stress free. Thank you to the whole crew that helped fix my taco verde!! read more

My cars door was bent completely out of place in a hit and run. I brought my car here, and they fixed my door in a very timely manner. The pricing was great, combined with the welcoming atmosphere and the knowledgeable staff. I could not recommend this business enough, definitely go and check them out if youre in need of quality work. read more

I brought a used truck not long ago and when I was putting the new plates on when I realized it had bumper damage. The damage was hardly noticeable but it caused the tailgate to rub on the trim surrounding the top of the bumper when opening and closing. Previous owner must've bumped something at idle speed. These guys serviced my bumper for just $200 and made it brand new again with zero rub/issues. They even went out of their way to fit me into their extremely busy schedule to make it happen. I would highly recommend this business and will be taking my truck back if I need anything else done! read more

They did a wonderful job on my truck. It looked brand new when I picked it up. The paint job was beautiful. They showed me all the things they did to fix my truck. I recommend them to do body work on vehicles. read more

I was new to the area and had my Camry window smashed during the night. Victor at Peterson's was very helpful in ordering the replacement quickly and also taping my smashed window very effectively to seal out rain. I only had to wait a few days to return to the shop to have my window fixed like new. Fantastic service! I would give more stars if I could. read more

When our BMW 750 was backed into, the dealership recommended Peterson's for the repair. The staff there were very friendly and professional.

Peterson's Collision Repair - New driver side door! - Body Shops Near Me - Arcata, California

I had a badly cracked windshield and they were able to get me in really quickly. They were easy to deal with, professional and the car looked great. They also put the little floor mats down which I love. read more

I wish I could rate different aspects instead of removing stars altogether. My car was hit on March 13th. The other person's insurance accepted full responsibility and I contacted Peterson's Collision to get it repaired. They said they needed to order a new door, and it would take about a week to replace. That was fine. I was a little frustrated that they couldn't get it in until April 4th, but it wasn't a big deal. We took it in on April 4th and picked up our rental car. The week went by, and on Friday we picked it up. I was pretty psyched because they had washed my car and even cleaned the footwell on the driver's side (there was stuff in the other ones, I have a messy car pretty much all the time). I was really glad to have my car back, and I'm really impressed with the new door. It took me by surprise when I realized none of my programmed radio stations were saved anymore, but then I remembered they probably had to disconnect the battery in order to hook up the wires for the new door. However, once I reprogrammed all my stations, NONE OF THEM WORKED. No matter what station it's on, all I get is static. I don't know what they did, but my radio is useless. I'm stuck listening to the same five CDs I've had in my car for over a year now. read more

Super friendly and courteous. Needed a windshield replacement; after calling around Peterson's was the second cheapest and by far the nicest and most helpful. Its a small Mom and Pop shop who got the work done quickly and for a fair price. They even gave me a ride to get my car since the bus schedule wouldn't allow me to get there until the next day, never would expect that from another shop! New to the area and definitely found my local mechanic. read more

I brought my 99 honda civic in for a new door-- excellent service, reasonable rates. Peterson's had the lowest estimate out of the 6 places I called and knocked over a hundred dollars off the price because I paid in cash. After I got the car back the window roller broke, but I brought it back in and he re-fixed it quickly for free. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs body work done. read more
