    2022 Tundra

    My vehicle was damaged by my auto dealership, getting a routine service. The car went to Amir and his crew for bodywork. And I have to say I am very impressed. I have been to five different body shops over the years. These guys communicated very well. updated me with status went above and beyond to get My vehicle looking absolutely perfect. I cannot thank you enough for taking a stressful situation, and helping me to be at ease, knowing my vehicle was in good hands, it sure makes up for a bad situation A++++ for my experience Thank you Amir

    Buyer beware. All these 5-star reviews are bought and paid for with free car washes. See pictures. **Long post -- skip to TL;DR if you're in a hurry.** I honestly dislike writing 1-star reviews, but there was nothing redeeming about my experience here and I feel like it's my duty to warn others: This shop preys on the naive -- young girls, the elderly, and whomever else they think are helpless. Euro American Collision in Lake Forest intentionally damaged my bumper so they could charge me more for the repair. It sounds unbelievable, but the pictures below say it all. They turned what should've been a simple repair into a replacement of my entire bumper (I've since paid visits to three other body shops in the area -- each one can attest that the "before" picture could have been fixed for $600-$900 with a simple weld, sand/buff, and repaint. Whereas the damage in the "after" picture requires a replacement of the entire bumper, because its structural integrity was compromised due to the large hole (that wasn't there when we dropped the car off). The new estimated cost? $1,200-$1,500. Initially, my car had a small, nearly indistinguishable crack on the passenger side's rear bumper... Guess they figured I hadn't taken pictures before they put their hands on it, because after they "inspected" my car, the bumper had a giant hole. It was big enough to literally shove your hand inside. It looked as if someone had pushed the crack outwards, then upwards, leaving very visible crease and hole. They said that since there was a hole, it absolutely needed to be replaced. The shop manager, Jim, was incredibly rude and unprofessional. His first words to me were that he'd just been racing his newly purchased, very expensive, corvette going 100mph down Lake Forest Drive. An unwise and frankly odd thing to brag about, but I digress. There was no acknowledgement of my concern; no "we'll get to the bottom of this;" no exploration of possible causes of the extra damage. Instead, Jim became immediately defensive and threw a child-like temper tantrum while loudly berating me and my boyfriend in front of everyone in the garage. He refused to answer any questions and threatened to get his lawyers involved if I "had a problem." Never in my life have I witnessed such appalling customer service. (I also find a reaction like that to be a huge red flag, and feel badly for others who've undoubtedly been scared into silence by his naked aggression). To make matters worse, they TOWED my car without my permission and snuck in a $275 charge for it. When I addressed it, they claimed it was an "accidental charge." This was my first time at this body shop, so I have to wonder -- how often do these "accidental charges" occur and how many times are they overlooked by customers? If you decide to come here for some reason, inspect your invoice carefully because they'll try to sneak in extra charges like these under "miscellaneous." They aren't listed in plain sight. But if I were you, I'd visit any number of other reputable body shops in the area instead. This shop engages in questionable business practices and has fraud written all over it. **TL;DR** While in the shop's possession, they damaged my car to make it a "bigger job" which = more pay for them. What was initially a $600-$900 repair now costs anywhere from $1,200-$1,500 to fix/replace . When addressed, the manager (Jim) attempted to intimidate me into silence. They also tried to tack on $275 to my invoice for a tow I never authorized. Do yourself a favor and find another body shop that values integrity. This isn't it.

    This was completely mangled, and looks as good as new now!!

    I was a victim of a stolen car, and the guy(s) who stole it did some damage to my front end. The dealer did the work they needed to do with the ignition system and door lock, but they don't do bodywork, so they recommended pro American collision center, and I'm so thankful they did. I mostly dealt with Jim, who was so easy to get along with, and explained the entire process along the way. Not only did they fix the damage done by the car thieves, but I had some other repair work that needed to be done on my own as well. I also spoke with Amir, who was equally professional and great to talk to. Jim was my biggest advocate for me with regards to the insurance company shenanigans, and completely had my back. I would use pro American collision center anytime I need bodywork done moving forward. Absolute top notch, and my car looks completely brand new again. They also completed the repairs on time when they estimated it would be done. I can't tell you how grateful I am that the dealership recommended these guys.

    The amazing Jim!

    Amazing customer service and attentions, come here and look for Jim he is amazing and the results are incredible

    Beautifully restored and color matched paint job

    Amir & Jim are rockstars! They went above and beyond for me! From the beginning of my experience with them, they were extremely clear that they wanted to provide the best service to me. I needed to restore my 2021 Kia Seltos after a parking garage mishap and they were very responsive and gave me a quote right away. My insurance pushed on them to use refurbished parts for my repair but they stood their ground as I did not want refurbished parts - I wanted new parts to be used on my new car. Fortunately, I didn't have to argue with my insurance at all - ProAmerican handled everything and was able to successfully repair my car beautifully

    Seriously, best auto body shop in Lake Forest. My vehicle was, unfortunately, involved in a…read morehit-and-run. The front quarter panel was completely dented in, along with other damages. I had taken my vehicle to over six body shops in the area to request an inspection and quote for repairs. Out of all six shops, CARSTAR Lake Forest had the most affordable pricing- even for OEM parts and labor. Compared to other shops in the area, they also had the fastest turnaround time, which was important to me since I didn't have insurance to cover a rental. The process was really simple. I went in, someone assessed my vehicle and provided a printed quote. Since I was going through with insurance, once the claim was filed and the quote was submitted, I scheduled a time to drop off my vehicle. The turnaround was about a week, whereas other shops were saying it'd be roughly two weeks. They were able to continually keep me in the loop regarding repairs via text and calls, so I was really appreciative of the communication. The cherry on top would be the day of pickup. CARSTAR was kind enough to provide a complimentary car washing service, which included the interior as well! This auto body shop definitely goes above and beyond for their customers. I was extremely happy and content with their level of professionalism, workmanship, and customer service. Having a shop that was able to contact me via text (since I am very busy) was a plus!

    Amazing customer service. Cristina and Denise were fabulous at the front counter and very helpful!read more
