I want to give a huge thank you to Francis for being such a genuine pleasure to work with. After I got into a multi-car accident and my car was sandwiched between two vehicles, I was stressed, confused, and honestly didn't even know where to start. From towing, to getting my car to the auto shop, to just understanding what was happening with my claim, Francis was there every step of the way. She went above and beyond what I ever expected. She kept me updated, explained every step clearly, and made sure I never felt lost in the process. In fact, she gave me more clarity, support, and peace of mind than my own insurance company did. She didn't just do her job--she cared, and that made all the difference. People don't realize how meaningful it is to have someone patient, kind, and reliable helping you after an accident--but I'm truly grateful I had Francis. She made a stressful situation so much easier to handle, and I can't thank her enough. read more

Somebody broke two of my windows, and I found that this place offered a competitive price and was able to get the job done the very next day. Alan is great. I highly recommend working with him. He was transparent about the pricing for both parts and labor. He's attentive and goes above and beyond! I dropped off my car a little later in the day once the parts were ready, but they were still able to accommodate me and complete the work within a few hours. They even offered me a rideshare back home, which was amazing, and their lobby was well-stocked with drinks and snacks. read more

I noticed that my car was louder than before so I assumed that it was time to get a transmission fluid change since it's been long overdue. I called rainbow auto and Mario told me that he could take care of me the same day. After a quick test drive he diagnosed the issue right away and notified me that it wasn't my transmission, instead it was a broken ball bearing that was making that sound that had been haunting me for weeks. He broke down the pricing in a clear and concise manner, ordered the part, and was very transparent about the issue. He also let me know that it wouldn't be dangerous to drive on while I waited for the part to arrive. Since the job has been completed, my car has been running seamlessly and I'm very thankful that Rainbow auto center made an often stressful situation so easy. Will definitely come back for my next repair and would recommend them to anyone including family members. read more

These guys took care of a Toyota warranty paint issue for my Prius. In addition to the paint job, I had them replace both bumpers as well. The results were amazing, and my car now looks brand new! In addition to all the contracted work, they also fix several other cosmetic issues (dents and other paint issues) to really make the car look stunning. Definitely recommend. Also, Alan was personable and good to work with! read more

This shop came recommended by VW of Hayward for my VW Taos which was hit. I want to express how pleased I am with the results of the repairs made. The shop did an exceptional job! Francis in the office is a very kind person, as well as the workers who presented my vehicle to me completely repaired, looking fantastic! I highly recommend this body shop for any of your auto repair needs. I will not hesitate to utilize them again in the future when needed. read more

I brought my 2018 Tesla Model S here for repairs and I am very satisified with the work and quality done by the shop. They were fast to get my car up and running even though my insurance was slow to approve the estimate. The paint looks great! No orange peels or any spills to other parts. On the day of pickup the car was hand washed. Highly recommend if you want quality work and fast service read more

I've had a couple bad experiences with some autobody shops (repairs taking too long, prices too high, etc) but at rainbow auto center I had an amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend bringing your car here. Location: located on Meekland nestled among tons of other auto shops, but relatively easy to find off 880's A street exit. It's also rly close to a school & park. Service: Philip and his team are so amazing! My car was basically totalled when I brought it here because someone had rear ended me on the freeway. Philip was able to explain everything that needed to be done & all the costs in layman's terms so I would understand. I'm no car expert but I really appreciated that he was able to explain in a way I could understand. My car was finished in just a few days & looked completely brand new. He also dealt with all the insurance issues, car rental etc which made things a lot easier for me. He's super experienced, friendly & accommodating. I will never be able to go anywhere else after I've had auto service like this! Will definitely be back if I ever have car troubles again (hopefully not though.. haha). read more

I had a great experience at the repair shop and Alan was very helpful through the process. Just needed my bumper redone from all the scratches throughout the years. Had the bumper repaired, repainted, and back to me in three days. It was also cleaner than how it was dropped off. Would highly recommend. read more

Rainbow provides excellent service! I have used them various times and went through my insurance and they take care of everything. They made it a seamless repair and stress free dealing with insurance. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a couple of my cars repaired here when Phillip was here, around 10 years ago was referred by a coworker. Phillip was great here had great customer service and repair work. I came here again a couple weeks ago and brought my lexus from a rear end collision and worked with Phillips son I think who took the reins now great guy and friendly. The work and expertise is still their you can trust them to do a great job. read more

It's been almost 2 years since i got my car fixed from here, and nearly every issue I have had with my car since has had some kind of issue, replacing, or fixing. Im not sure why they are so highly recommended. After having my car towed there, they did not notify me of its arrival and had no clue it had even arrived. I had even gone as far as going there personally, then seeing my car being the 2nd furthest from the entrance, then going in and having to point out my car had already arrived because they didnt even know it was there. I could see it from their own front office. They never notified me of any changes or updates during the fix and would give me vague or inaccurate estimates on when things would be done. Every time, i would have to call or go in for answers. No matter how many times they tried to reassure me, they would definitely get back to me. After they "fixed" the car, the splash guard on the wheel well fell off on day one. After a few months, my personal mechanic told me the thermostat was faulty and needed fixing, which this place said they replaced, fixed, and was 100% even after I expressed concern for it after day 2 of driving it. Some of the smaller details have begun peeling or cracking a year in. And today, the front bumper fell off partially from I'm not even sure what, perhaps heat? I do not recommend this place. read more

I love this place. I've had so many bad experiences at Car shops! The people at Rainbow auto are legit! They are super laid back but get the job done at a great price! They explain everything thoroughly which is amazing because some places are just like "yea, yea ok. I'll get it done" then come out of left field with something crazy. Something did come up when they were doing my service but they called right away and didn't try to make us feel like we had to do it or our car was going to explode or something. We went ahead and told them to do whatever you have to do. That's how much we trust them. Plus, I just called them to have them send me some records from half a year ago and after verifying my identity they sent it over right away. The other shop I used to go to made me go in person to pick them up! I suggest you don't look any further and give these guys a call. read more

Car was there for almost 3 months. Every time I called, mechanic and receptionist (Frances?) said they'd call me back but never did. I thought this shop being in-network with my insurance will expedite the process. However, I had to coordinate between insurance (supplements) on their behalf too due to lack of priority on my car. After getting a false date from them on when I could get back my car, I was done and just went there the following Tuesday to see if they're at least working on it. Surprise surprise- my car was finally fixed and still no one was calling me. This is the worst body shop experience that I've had/heard from family and friends. If I could give 0/5, I would. Very unprofessional. read more

I have to give these guys 5 stars. They matched the paint on my Porsche perfectly and it still looks perfect a year later. I was very picky about the work and the staff was cool about it and did everything just right. Hard to believe some guy gets on here and gives them 1 star for not getting a free estimate. So many cheap people out in the world, they outnumber generous folks 10-1. Anyways, Rainbow doesn't do cheap work...or give free estimates as I have learned here on Yelp. But they did a great job on my car. It wasn't a quick in-quick out job but parts had to be shipped from Germany and they spent the time to do it right. read more

I was worried coming here since they've recently switched management, but this place has made me a permanent customer! The paint job they did was high quality and quick, will only be coming here! read more

They got our car in right away! They are very friendly and nice. They were always available to discuss the work needed on our vehicle.

I am surprised this business has no reviews yet......always a first.... I have been using this place for a couple of years now, for both of our cars.... paint, new bumpers and much more..... The people are friendly and they take care of the job as quickly as they can, knowing we need our cars for work..... Thanks for all the work previously done and for helping contact the rental agencies as we needed..... read more

They found a used hybrid converter inverter to fix my 2007 Toyota Prius and it saved me $4000 from getting it done at the dealership. 2 weeks later and it's still running which bought me time to save money and car shop. I'm pretty happy with that. read more

This review is long overdue, I will ONLY bring my car here when I need repairs. I keep my car in pristine condition, I was rear ended in a multiple car collision and my insurance wanted to use junkyard parts, but Philip took the time to explain the entire process and made sure I got the right quality parts for his shop to do the repairs, even dealt with the other party's insurance for a new estimate that turned out better. My car is back in business and like new again! read more

This man and his team is amazing!!! I recommend EVERYONE to him and do not have to worry if he's going to do a good job or have a bad day. He simply does a great job on every vehicle.

I've had my car side swiped and brought my car straight to him and had my car back in a couple of days with no signs of damage!!! I'd give this place 1,000 stars if I could. read more

My new Chevy Bolt was in a minor accident with side door and mirror that needed replacing. The insurance company identified this as an approved shop so I took the vehical in for them to take a look and give me an estimate - which was done while I waited by Philip the owner. He identified several things that the Insurance company estimate did not, promised and delivered on handling all the paperwork and dealing with the insurance company. I brought the car back on scheduled day and the work was done well and on time - car looks great. Very much appreciate Philip and his team doing a great job and returning the car clean and washed. read more

Me/insurance paid for a full repaint of a rear bumper, instead this shop decided to do a patch job on the damage and spray clear over instead of repainting the entire thing, and they still charged for the full job. Extremely shady and poorly run shop. I'd never go here again. They also did a poor job color matching the metallic flake, which is what made it so obvious to see which part was painted by them and which was the original OEM paint. read more

Another overdue review, but Jose and his crew deserve it. Let me just say that Peter, runs the most honest and thorough repair shop that I have encountered. Although it took a while to determine the cause of the problem, he insisted on working on this until he did find it. I suspect that this is unlike many shops where they will only patch up the problem without getting to the real cause. He was also very fair with his pricing and proided me with options so that I knew what the repair costs would be. He even re-attached the fuel cap without my asking him (I had totally forgotten that the cap became detached!) What makes him the best is this...soon after I got my car back, the "check engine" light came on again, and I contacted him, He asked me to bring it back so that he could check it. Somehow the issue resolved itself (after he ran the diagnostics)...maybe my car is just weird. But when I asked him what the fee was for returning my car for further work, he said he wouldn't charge me. While many other shops will charge simply for the labor, Peter is willing to stand behind his work and fix the problem until it is fixed, period. I wholeheartedly support this business and will return for any other car issues I encounter. read more

They took great care of my wife's car, used OEM parts and it looked good as new! Really nice people.

The first characteristic that makes a good auto mechanic is knowledge. The complexity of today's automobile is evident in the engine, systems, and various components. Peter has a keen awareness of each of these individual parts and how they work together as a whole. What makes Peter a good auto mechanic is how he transfers that knowledge into real world repair work. Not all automotive technicians or shops are created equal. The good ones can save you money and keep your family safe on the road, and Rainbow Auto Center is one of them. I feel safe and secure when I leave this place. Thank God! for honest and hard working mechanics, the few that are left in this world. Pete keep up the good work! George read more

I took my truck to this shop for a second estimate because I had already taken it somewhere else and the estimate was too low, Rainbow Auto Center told me to leave my name, number, and to sign a paper to leave my truck for the estimate. While I was making calls to my insurance to see what they would cover following the accident, after 2 days the shop was working on my truck and had stripped the hood without calling me and receiving authorization so I asked to have the put back together, but they "lost" multiple parts that were originally on my truck... now im forced to deal with this issue by asking the owner to buy the parts that were lost from my truck. I do not recommend this shop to anybody unless you have a signed paper telling the shop to not work on your vehicle without permission. read more

This place is extremely professional and does amazing work. They're definitely worth while when it comes to working on your car. We got into an accident, when this beginning driver was being an idiot. After all the insurance was done, we came here and Phillip totally made thw process a breeze. Our car came out just like new and even made some recommendations. We send everyone here now! read more

Peter is an owner who stands behind his product. He made agreement with me and has stuck by his commitment to satisfying this arraignment . I have used Rainbow Auto on several occasions for mechanical and other miscellaneous work. He has done an excellent job in making sure his employees understand the importance of customer satisfaction and service. If Peter keeps this up I foresee many more five star reviews for Rainbow Auto in the future. read more

This is the spot to go to for collisions. Phil is awesome! He is an expert in his field with exceptional customer service skills. He is understanding, and quick. I took my car there after visiting several other shops that were over charging me for my back bumper. He gave me fast estimate, stay connected with me and we made a plan that worked for him and my budget to get my car fabulous again. I took my car in on Tuesday morning and got a call Wednesday afternoon that it was ready. When I picked up my car, I was so satisfied with the work. He even detailed my car inside/ out, so thankful! His work is guaranteed. I definitely will recommend friends/ family to him. Don't hesitate to take ur car there! read more
