Pete helped me get my car back to looking new after having damage to the front end. The trunk was also out of alignment and he adjusted it to look like it's supposed to with no gaps. Highly recommend him for all bodywork. read more

Above and beyond! Had to get my car repaired after a small accident. We were going out of town and needed my truck ready in less than a week. Pete promised the car on time. Pete's Mobile did an amazing job and as always on time! read more

Been coming here for over 25 years for body work that needs to be done. Pete is reasonable and does a great job.

Pete treats me and my wife like family and I will never go anywhere else for car services and repairs. He will give you the best value and the best service. Thanks Pete! read more

On October 8th, 2021 I was broadsided by a young gal making a left hand turn into oncoming traffic (ME) at an intersection. The driver's side of my 1989 Volvo 240DL was demolished, and her insurance (State Farm) declared my car a total loss, which I fought vehemently, and (thankfully) won. It's not easy find a body shop that'll work on an older/classic car. Mine had become a collector's item in the 25 years I'd owned it, and being it's a 5-speed manual transmission, it's next to impossible to replace. Pete's body shop did a spectacular job of restoring the body of my beloved Volvo. Nothing's as perfect as before it was demolished, but the extra care and effort this shop invested in bringing my poor Humpty Dumpty back together again, was exemplary. (They had my car for 3 months, to give you a sense of how much damage it had incurred.) I would not hesitate to revisit or recommend Pete's Collision Center if (God forbid) I ever again needed body work. I'm sure if you own a newer car, your trust in their expertise would be well placed. read more

Pete is the best! He does an amazing job, works really fast, and makes the whole car repair process as painless as possible. I cannot recommend Pete enough and will continue to come here for many more years. read more

Impeccable service to say the least is what you receive at Pete's Collision Center on N. Daisy in Pasadena. I have known the owner Pete for over 20 years and went there after my roommate Julie told me about his shop. It could be a hose, a pump, a bumper, the steering pump or gearbox; drop by Pete's and he will tell you what you need. I come for regular maintenance and the great customer service. He even gives you tips to keep your car running great; he told me about the blue area on my oil gage and to let my car warm up to that point before starting to drive to protect my engine. Most importantly they are honest about what needs to be repaired and have never taken advantage of a situations. Beyond being great at what he does, Pete (owner) and his son, also a mechanic and works at the shop, are nice people, knowledgeable about cars and very good mechanics. I highly recommend taking your car to Pete's in Pasadena. read more

The level of service and work performed at Pete's was nothing short of extraordinary. My 2006 Audi was rear ended at speed on the freeway by a lifted 4Runner. Due to it's height this caused damage to the bumper, trunk and multiple body pieces underneath. There was a very high probability that the vehicle would be totaled. Fortunately, Pete's was able to both mitigate this avoiding a salvo situation and restore the vehicle to a spec on par if not exceeding the original condition. German cars, especially slightly older ones, have a well earned reputation for being difficult to work on and even more challenging to do body repair + paint match. I know this from personal experience... four different A4's over the last 15 years, most of which I've done the majority of all mechanical work on. I've also been trained in the basics of automotive painting as well. I only mention this to provide substantiation to the claims in this review. As for the repairs... Body panels were lined up properly meaning there is an even distribution in the part-lines between the bumper, trunk, rear quarter panels etc. Due to the nature of the crash, the entire trunk interior needed to be removed, which due to the design is a rather complicated task. This was performed perfectly and everything was reassembled as it once was. The paint work is immaculate. All pieces in question received equally appropriate attention and there is zero orange peel whatsoever. Even in the mid-2000's Audi implored a more complex than industry average, multi-stage paint process which unfortunately can result in difficulties when repairs are to be made. Again, Pete's took the time to paint everything with detail and care resulting in a finish that meets or exceeds the original paint (which fortunately is still quite good for this 13yr old car). Additionally, the fellas at Pete's are personable, trustworthy and kind...something that is not often found in the automotive world. After reading the reviews here and meeting with the guys to discuss the damage, I had no doubts that I had found the right body shop. It should be noted that this decision was made regardless of the fact the the offending driver's insurance company didn't have Pete's on their preferred list (which BTW is only due to the size of their lot). Don't be taken in by the chain McBody Shops along Walnut and elsewhere in Pasadena. Pete's is the real deal. Regardless of my gut inclination, the work speaks for itself and I am once again enjoying my car. Obviously Pete's comes highly recommended. If you're debating on a body shop I would implore you to heavily consider their services. You won't regret it. read more

This is a late review, but I have to say, Pete fixed the damage on my Chrysler 200 a couple months ago. He made it look brand new! I was so impressed by his wonderful hospitality and he really made me feel taken care of and I felt confident that my car was in good hands while it was in the shop. He even arranged a rental car for me from a near by Enterprise, and in the end when it was time to pick up my car, he had it washed and detailed inside and out, what a nice touch! You can definitely see the sense of hard work and pride that comes out of this family run business. I would take my car back to Pete's in the future and refer my friends to go here as well. This is the place to go if you are looking for good quality work in the San Gabriel Valley area. Thank you Pete! Job well done! read more

This collision center brought my car back to mint condition. Took a couple weeks, thankfully had a rental thru my insurance company. However it was worth the wait. Pete kept in informed the whole time. When I saw my car again, I was so surprised it was in perfect condition, like the accident never happened. This shop is Definitely filled with professionals and I'm happy with the outcome. read more

It's the Christmas season and all of the streets are filled with people of good cheer, shopping for gifts to give to loved ones in hopes of expressing their true feelings for those most important in their lives. Or maybe everyone is shopping on Amazon and all of these vehicles are delivery trucks and Ubers. Either way, I walked to my car; parked for the day on a narrow canyon street, and discovered someone had thoughtfully dented the driver's side door of my Prius. Hmmm, I thought, maybe there's a note on my windshield profusely apologizing for the mishap accompanied by contact information for the driver that... Nope, the driver only left his bumper's 'finger' print on our little car. Naughty. I roll into Pete's Collision Center, never been here before but Pete greets me like we're old friends. A quick review of the damage is followed by a simple, clear and detailed description of the damage visible to the naked eye, the repair process, and dealing with insurance. Easy! Then Pete says 'If you have Uninsured Motorist Collision Coverage you probably won't have to pay a deductible.' It's a small dent and I was planning to pay for repairs so that my policy wouldn't get more expensive. Turns out the policy covered the loss without a deductible and the repairs cost more than I expected. Pete's knowledge about insurance saved me a lot of money! Then Pete says 'If you have Rental Car Coverage they'll probably just send you a check, so 'Uber' when you need to and pocket the cash!' My coverage is for $50 a day so now this little mishap is makin' me money! Thanks bumper-print driver! My insurance company loss adjustor complimented Pete for his immediate replies to requests for documentation, clarity of communication during the repair, and professional service. Insurance companies have 'arrangements' with providers but we can take our cars to almost any repair shop and my adjustor was perfectly happy working with Pete to fix our car. The insurance company authorized an OEM salvaged door from the same model/year/color. Not good enough for Pete, he found a new OEM door for the same price so we're not driving a 3-year-old door from a wrecked car. That's nice, who needs that kind of juju? The repairs are complete, the car looks perfect, Pete kept us advised throughout the process and over delivered at every opportunity. This was all so easy I'm now purposely parking in places that put the passenger door at risk, there is a scratch on that door that I'd like someone to bumper-print. read more

wow i cant believe the incredible service i received from Pete's Collision Center. I had a Chevy Volt and my lease was coming to an end but i had lots of minor dings, dents, and scratches throughout the car that needed to be taken care of prior to the return. after consulting with a few body shops Pete got my attention because of his honest pricing and guarantee to get the job done right the first time and he did exactly that, i couldn't be happy with how things turned out. from now on Pete is my go to car guy!! thanks again. read more

My car was parked at work when someone was pulling forward out the lot and almost completely ripped off the front bumper of my Lexus, leaving it to hang by a hair. My family has always trusted our cars with Pete for body repair work in the past so I knew without a doubt I was going to take it to him. I had the car towed to Pete's Collision, left the keys,and trusted Pete and his son Karo with everything forward from there. Being busy with work and school, Pete handled everything from insurance, rental, and everything else to make things easier for me. In no time my car was ready for pick up and looked as if I had just purchased it off the dealer lot and even had that new car smell to it! Thank you Pete's Collision for everything! read more

So I've been driving longer than most of you punks reading this review have been alive. My rear quarter panel and bumper got smacked in a parking lot and the slime ball took off. I called my insurance and headed over to Pete's to make a reservation. "Reservation" you say. The hoity toidy body shops I have dealt with in the past always gave me a line like "Oh we are so busy, you need to schedule your repair, how about 3 weeks from today at 8:00 AM on Monday morning. This was not the case with Pete's. Pete himself waited on me and told me to bring the car in any time and it would take about a week. I took the car in on a Monday morning, Pete told me a week. I handed him my keys, claim number and split. Friday I stopped in and Pete took me over to the car. It was not ready, but, the car was apart and the body work was completed. Pete told me he found more damage and the adjuster came out to approve additional work. Pete got me a new mirror and some scratches on the passenger and rear passenger door taken care of also. The mirror did not get jacked up in the parking lot, it got jacked on my driveways porte-cochere, but that makes for another story. The car was not ready because he had to order a mirror. In the past whenever I took my car in after a fender bender I always have the shoppe take care of the supermarket basket dings, bumper scrapes etc. I have always always had to pay for these and I mean pay, like $50 for a ding, $130 for a fender etc. I had some damage to the top of the hatchback door. I asked Pete if he could fix that. He said "No problem, no charge" I was impressed. Wednesday I went to pick my baby up, again it was not ready when I got there. His son Karo was busy detailing the car and compounding out some scratches on the driver side. Like OMG, talk about full service. I ran an errand, came back 20 minutes later and the car was ready to go. Now keep in mind all of my damage was at the back end of the car, I never mentioned the scrapes on the front bumper valence. Those happen when I drive off of the curb while coming out of my driveway. I walked around the car and Pete said "Oh, and I painted your front bumper too." Like for real? Totally unexpected and oh so pleasurable. Really makes paying that $500 deductible less painful. Ah, but the work you ask about, how was the quality of the work. 100% top notch. I used to race imports. I know a thing or two about body work, paint, coatings, etc. Pete's work is as good as the best shops in the San Gabriel Valley. And don't underestimate the cars in the San Gabriel Valley. We got hot cars here that will blow the wheels in looks and speed off of any of the wanna bee racers on the Westside or Valley. Pete's work can hang with the best of them. Perfect tint and blend all around. On the front skirt, I can't see where Pete's paint stops and the original paint picks up. All in all 120% satisfied, I almost can't wait for my next accident just so I can deal with Pete or his kids again. Pete and crew really go out of their way to make sure you are totally satisfied with their work, and they totally satisfy. read more

My friend referred me to Pete because he has known Pete for many years and he brought all his cars to Pete when he has problems. Someone hit my Toyota Venza in a parking lot and damaged my gate and rear bumper. I took the car for estimates at Seidner's Collision Center in Duarte and Service King in San Gabriel. Pete's price is very reasonable compared to the other two. Pete is honest and professional. There's always many cars in his lot waiting for repair. However, he replaced my automatic trunk gate and all dents from the fender bender the very next day after I dropped off my car. I highly recommended Pete's! read more

Pete's is great place to have your car body shop, the owner highly skills body works dome can't get the kind of work any where else , highly recommend ! read more

Brought my Z4 for some repair after hitting and breaking the lower part of my bumper on a curb. With it being something I was paying out of pocket I shopped around and came across this little shop behind a gas station. Pete was a really nice guy and was really honest about what he needed to do to repair my car. I also liked the fact that he had his son with him helping out which gave the place a nice family feel. The car looks great and best of all it didn't break the bank. Thank you Pete's for a job well done. read more

Absolutely Ridiculous! Ridiculously good that is. I took my Nissan Altima to Pete's to repair a rear bumper that was cracked on the right side and curb damage that left permanent scarring on it. The muffler was bent as well. They quoted me a price that was fair, but what got me was he said it would take only a few days and he kept his word. I brought my car to him on Monday morning and today is 2 days later and I can happily say my car looks like it never had bumper damage. I am a person who likes it when you make a promise and you keep it. Pete gets my vote of confidence! Great job guys. read more

I was side swiped in a gas station by a large truck and I had a roadster BMW Z3 1996 OO7 from the movie Goldeneye. The car only has 47,000 miles and is a classic. The side of my wraparound bumper was crashed in and extended to the entire front portion.the other man's insurance company wanted to total out my car even though it was the bumper portion. He said the age of my car made it a total. The BMW was going to be too high to fix and the other man's insurance wouldn't take cars over 20 years. I found the most incredible collision center just behind where I had the accident. It was called Pete's Collision Center. He told me not to worry and he would take care of it and that he often deals with that insurance company. He took my check the other insurance company gave me and even with the estimate being higher, Pete assured me he would get any added amount he found when disassembling the bumper. Pete has been in his location in Pasadena for over 30+ years and is so passionate about his job and totally loves cars. He did get approval and today I picked up my car and had to do a double take. It looked like it just came out of a showcase and better than it did before the accident. It looked detailed and maybe it was, but I couldn't stop looking at it. What a perfectionist Pete is and so proud of his work. He does everything so taking your car there would be a one stop service. I am a 3 car family and all my cars will go to Pete's from this day on. Don't look any further take your car there and you will never regret it. read more

Pete does it again!! Great job on restoring my 2000 CR-V to beautiful condition. Pete painted the hood and two fenders of my CRV this week. In the process he cleaned up some minor body damage. Once again, I could not be happier with the results. read more

Pete's Mobile Collision Repair - Body Shops Near Me

I've been to Pete twice now, and of all the body shops I've been to in Pasadena, he has the lowest prices and the highest quality. It's a family-owned and family-run business, so you know you're getting that personal touch. Pete and his staff do dealership-quality work for about a couple hundred less. The only thing is that he doesn't take personal checks, so you need to make sure your credit card or insurance is up to snuff. The best thing about Pete is that he is willing to work within your budget and gives the best service possible. I have no complaints. It's a hell of a lot better than going to the dealership! Also, if you're lucky enough to get on Pete's good side, he's the type of guy who will look out for you. He knows when someone is trying to cheat you in a deal. He tipped me off to what rental car companies do and how hard they push for insurance (and make you pay through the nose otherwise), and of course he gave me the 4-1-1 on dealerships. General rule of thumb, only go to the dealership as a last resort, if no body shop or auto-service center can do what you're asking. As of right now Pete will be first on my call list if I need car repair done. I'm very satisfied that he has my back. read more

Ok.. so, Pete has fixed my car twice now. The second fix was perfect, just like the first time. There were other factors involved this time around, and he really went the extra mile to make things work. Truly, Pete is talented and a really good guy.. Here's my experience: A contractor van backed into my front end while I was waiting to exit the employee parking lot where I work and my hood, passenger side headlight, and bumper were damaged. I was a little embarrassed to bring it back to Pete because the work he had done so well the first time around had been destroyed. I told him, "hey.. this time at least it wasn't my fault!" We had a laugh, and got down to business. I left my car with Pete and my insurance company's claims adjuster came a day or two later to assess the damage.. and here's where it gets interesting. Given that my car is a little older and has over 220,000 miles on it, the claims adjuster immediately classified it as "Totaled" and started the process to issue me a check for the assessed value of my car.. which was laughably low as a result of the high mileage. This would put me in the position of having to go out and look for another used high mileage car (with unknown problems), and take my chances. Not at all my preference. I know my car... I know what it's issues are...they're manageable, it's reliable, and I just want it fixed. With Pete's help, I got my car "un-totaled" and Pete exchanged quotes with my insurance company and was able to fix my car within the boundaries of their assessed value threshold. He got it all done in a reasonable amount of time, and he did a really great job. He even fixed a little dent that I'd had in my right front fender from before the wreck and he and his son cleaned and freshened up my car and had it looking like new when I came to pick it up. He even noticed that my windshield wipers were shot, and threw in a new pair - on the house - because there was rain in the forecast. Unbelievable. He also fixed my wife's Corolla, and her positive review is also here on Yelp. I would recommend Pete without hesitation. The guy really does right by his customers. read more

Did you know Pete does more than just body work? I want you to know he was able to repair my electric window replaced motor works just like new again and a much better price than the Honda dealer. He is honest down to earth and fair prices. read more

Z best body shop ever. Unfortunately I have a lot of experience with body shops. Pete's is one of the best. Pete is always there to meet and greet. They do the work in a reasonable amount of time. None of this "Let's make an appointment 3 weeks from next Tuesday" You come in , they work you in you get out. Pete dealt directly with my insurance so I had to do nothin' except pay him my deductible. He touched a few dings that were not part of the accident, gratis. Swel lguy, swell service, highly recommend. read more

My Porsche Cayman needed body work and detailing. I looked around few places but once I met Pete, I new I had made the right decision. His experience and honesty made me feel very comfortable. I'm so happy with the results! If I ever need something done to my car, Pete will be the first one I call from now on. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends. Thank you so much. Matt read more

I would take all of my cars here. Pete's a great guy. I had no prior experience with collisions and he was very honest and took the time to explain my estimate. I needed my back bumper replaced- He ordered the part and called me to bring my car in once he had the part in stock so I didn't have to leave my car there for a week. Only took a couple hours and I had my car back in no time. Looks brand new again! Very happy with the service here. read more

Two thumbs up! If you have a BMW and want to ensure only BMW parts are used to repair your car this is the place to go. My front bumper needed to be replaced, my hood repainted, and I had dings all over. I was referred to Pete by my mechanic and I'm very happy I took his advice. Pete is a BMW fanatic and very knowledgable when it comes to dealing with insurance companies. BTW, one lesson I learned was to let Pete deal with the insurance company. read more

Amazing service & help. Pete made my car look like new again. My Lexus looks just like how it did when I just got it. Highly recommended.

Been a costumer for about 10 years and is a great piece of mind to know that I have a mechanic that I can trust, won't take my car anywhere else!! read more

Because of a very enthusiastic recommendation I drove 3 hours out of my way to have Pete work on my van. And I am so glad that I did! There is no doubt in my mind about the integrity and quality of Pete and his work. He did an amazing job for me at a very reasonable price, actually less than his original estimate. read more

Yes, as good as it gets! I had to drop my car in Pete's shop 'by chance' as he was the only one open in the area after 5:30. Pete went above and beyond, in helping me out with his cool attitude and made sure he kept up his promise of delivering the car on the said date, by working late hours. You can see the passion and vast experience in him and his attention to detail is second to none. He has become my go-to bud in needing solid advice on the car related stuff. Also, on the day I had to drop off the car, he asked his son to drop me off at my apartment. How thoughtful! Thanks Pete! read more

My car shakes when I step on the brake at around 50-60 mph. I took it to the dealer and they want 100 dollars for diagnosis. I am not willing to spend the money just for diagnosis. I took my car into Pete for some body work and mentioned this to him. He told me exactly what is the cause and I got it fixed. He told me it was my rotors needs replacing. I needed new brakes soon afterward and I replaced the rotors at the same time. The problem is gone now. I am very happy. It makes driving my car enjoyable again. My wife just had her car fixed by Pete after she got into an car accident. I took 6 weeks to get the parts in and before the accident she wanted brighter head lights so Pete put in xenon lights for her too. The car is running great and looks perfectly new again. Plus the new head lights is much brighter. She is happy so I am happy. read more

Pete's is incredible!!! Great quality at a very, very reasonable price! I got quotes at several other auto body shops, and they were at least double what Pete quoted me. But what I was most impressed with was the quality of the work....first rate!!! Pete even took care of touching up all the nicks and dings around the rest of my Mercedes, at no extra charge...even repainted the lower part of my front end that was so scratched up from scraping the ground. I highly, highly recommend trusting your car with Pete's....I trusted mine and am very, very happy!! read more

Pete is wonderful. My 2011 Corolla was sideswiped on a busy street by a Ford F150, and got both my front & back doors on driver's side dented & scraped and the side mirror was broken off. I already knew about Pete from my husband who had his BMW repaired not long ago, so I went to him without a hesitation. Pete did an amazing job not only on fixing what needed to be fixed, but my car came back immaculately clean inside and out. Cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

Look no further. This shop does it all. The work of these craftsmen speaks for itself. These guys take pride in their work. And to top it off, the paint finishes look like glass. Not like other shops that leave you with orange peel. read more

Pete's a great guy, and his son, they do great work and got the job done on my 2012 Ford Focus within a week, which is the exact timeline they told me. The price was exactly as the quote said and they didn't offer me anything extra or try and force anything on me. The car looks great and they let me know work had been done on it before. They even seemingly washed, waxed and detailed the car, it was returned to me cleaner than I had dropped it off. Great customer service, nice people and would suggest to anybody. read more
