My car needed a new bumper and some body work done after a sheet of plywood flew into it on the freeway. I took it to RJ and he made the entire experience so easy. RJ truly runs his business from his heart and it shows in the quality of his work and how he prioritizes client service. He's an excellent communicator, goes above and beyond and shows up so professional. When I got my car back, it looked brand new - he even went as far as to clean the headlights to restore them. I am beyond grateful to RJ and the care he put into my car and my experience. He comes with my highest recommendation and I won't be taking my car to anyone else. If you need body work done and you want the white glove experience, RJ is your guy.

Before the paint, updated the whole process

Rjs auto body uses the best products, highest quality OEM parts and paint. They treat you like family and make sure you're satisfied 100%. Thanks for making sure everything was done right, they made the whole process of my repair worry free with daily updates and expected completion date.

Nice and easy to deal with, they take care of the insurance paperwork. The repair looks OEM although the wheel that was damaged looks better than factory. Tesla wheels without the aero covers have scratches from the clips and there's white residue from something which doesn't come off with wheel cleaner. I'll have to scratch up the other three wheels and have them repainted here so they match.

DURING: additional damage discovered during thorough inspection process

My Honda Accord's rear bumper and trunk were hit on the highway by a distracted driver. Although the surface damage was not terrible, it caused a lot of structural warping to pretty much the whole back end of the car. I take good care of my vehicles, and needless to say it was not ideal to have my car's back end all scuffed with the bumper hanging on by a few screws! That's when RJ and his wife Shantelle came to the rescue! They handled the whole process from safely towing my car on a flatbed truck to their shop to returning my car looking as good as when I first picked it up new from the dealership. Shantelle dealt with the insurance company for me, including preventing them from trying to substitute cheaper aftermarket parts (she got OEM parts approved) and having them approve further repairs when additional damage was discovered - plus, she kept me informed during the entire process. The best part is I feel like my car is back the way it should be. I cannot tell that it was ever damaged. It is obvious that RJ and his crew are very particular about and take pride in their work. It shows.

I am so grateful I found RJ's business! My car had a large dent and bad scratches to the paint from hitting a pole and I was worried I'd have to replace the door. I got a response right away on Yelp and when I arrived was greeted by RJ who was very kind and empathetic to my situation. He provided a clear breakdown of how he would fix the issue (without replacing door). I got 3 estimates and RJ's came in the middle, but I got such a good vibe, along w the stellar reviews, that I decided to go with him. My car was ready sooner than I expected and I was blown away when I saw the result! You would never be able to tell anything happened to the door! RJ is very talented at what he does. That alone would lead me to recommend him, but he is such a kind and professional guy on top of it. 5 stars all around.

Before. There's a dent in the passenger door.

In short: I highly recommend RJ's -- awesome repair work, very honest, reliable, and great customer service. I'll definitely return if I ever have to get body repair work on my car again. I went to RJ's for a dent and scratch in my car. RJ was able to get my car in for a free estimate the same day I called to ask if I could stop by. RJ walked me through his plan and time estimate. I felt very informed. He also emailed me the estimate the same day. In additional he and Shantelle have great customer service and personalities. Once I called to officially request services, the entire process took 3 days to complete! I was very impressed. RJ's shop was busy, but he has great time management and takes all jobs seriously. When I picked up my car, I was amazed at the high quality craftsmanship. RJ fixed the dent by hand without filler puddy and painted the car perfectly to match the factor color and shine. The dent/scratch was gone! It was like it never happened. Wow! In conclusion: I am very satisfied with the repair work RJ did for my car and the service I experienced. I can confidently recommend this shop to others.

before: RJ w/the messed up rocker panel
Natasha K.

It killed me everyday looking at the damage I had done earlier this summer. You know something so minor that could have been avoided, but once the damage was done, it was too late? FML. I had this guilty conscience building up and even worse because the car has low profile tires and is dropped over an inch, I literally drove and sat through hearing the scraping on asphalt and cement day after day for months. Quite the torture to endure. The side rocker panel on the passenger side of my Bimmer 335i looked like a Great White Shark took a big ass bite out of it. Parts do not come cheap on this car and I needed to find a resolution quick before my conscience ate me alive. After months of inquiries and run arounds, I finally came across RJ's Auto Body on Yelp. I was so ready to get this done and done right. You never know what to expect, just hoping that you don't get ripped off like so many do. Wednesday morning I had my oral surgery scheduled, so I walked in the shop already pressed for time, but I was open to seeing what RJ could do for me. Mind you, I had two other places recommended to me that I was going to get estimates from after this spot. From the jump, I had a good vibe from RJ. Friendly, smiley, and focused. I pointed out the damage, let him know I wasn't going to do any insurance funny business, and mentioned I would need it done ASAP. RJ quickly reciprocated and agreed they didn't do any funny biz there. Alright cool. After evaluating the condition of the part, he got on his cell phone to see how soon he could get it in from BMW. I was really appreciative of his positive energy and willingness to help me out the best he could. The part could get to his shop as soon as the next day (Thursday) and fixed by Friday afternoon. Wow! Already was I experiencing fast and efficient service, but let's play Bob Barker's the Price is Right. After a very brief pit pat on the keyboard, an estimate was printed out and handed to me, itemized and all- no hidden fees. I'll never have a pleasant face looking down at what it costs for a car part. I even hate paying for gas, but I guess who does? I had a pretty good idea of what range his price fell under. Not cheap and not expensive, just fair and honest. RJ explained his plan of action and continuously assured that the job will be done and I would be taken care of. There was a confidence in his tone of voice that I took seriously and eye contact was definitely there. He wasn't playing any games and he was down to get the work accomplished if I was willing to move forward. I kindly let him know I was going to check out a couple more places, he gave me his cell phone so I could follow up and I went on my way. Before the surgery I needed to hit up the gym and before that, I stopped by another auto body shop on Walnut (I won't name the place to help keep their integrity), as well as called in for an estimate over the phone from a place in Glendale. Both were very nice and professional, but surprisingly, both estimates from these shops were a few dollars shy of each other and at least 150% over the estimate RJ gave me. Wow, I was really shocked. For how much business these shops get, I suppose it's a numbers game for them regardless how many generations they've been in business. That really makes RJs Auto Body stand out and I respect the integrity that RJ upholds even more so. Making my final decision at the gym, I text RJ to let him know I was going to stop by again to drop off a deposit. He promptly responded back and let me know that the part would be in the very next morning. Excellent service! I hurried my ass to his shop, gave him a deposit and off I went to get teeth extracted. Post-surgery (Thursday), swollen as fudge, I text RJ to see when he would like for me to drop my ride off on Friday, so I could make further arrangements. Again he promptly responded "Hello there! Sure I'm here for you! ...8am okay for you?" I let him know I wasn't in any rush, but that sounded good and he mentioned, "Afternoon will be fine for pickup." Are you kidding me? I am more and more impressed with the effort RJ makes. Finally someone who's not all talk and could walk the walk. Today (Friday) 8am, looking like a blown up cartoon hamster minus the hair- not cute, I dropped the car off and two hours later received a text including photos of the finished work from RJ, "Your vehicle is ready for pickup." Unbelievable. What an amazing and impressive auto body shop. I have never enjoyed the experience of getting a car fixed. Truly happy. When I got there, the car was bright white and clean. RJ went above and beyond, washing my car and taking care of minor scratches. Astonished. The most professional & impressive auto body shop (can't say it enough) you'll come across and def worth the time to meet RJ. Guaranteed he'll do an excellent and consistent job. Real positive and quality person who goes the extra mile for you. Other shops should set their standards as high as RJ's does.

Thanks RJ

RJ was a pleasure to work with. He was fast and honest. He did quality work on my front and rear bumper for my BMW 335i. He was able to put on my front and rear mtech bumpers. Color matched perfectly. The bumpers were replica replacement parts so he did his best to make it fit well. I would recommend him to all my friends anytime. If you want fast, reliable, quality work I would go to RJ's Auto Body.

New front grill and polished headlights.

10/10 recommend -- for so many reasons!…read more First off, my wife and I started this whole journey with a hit and run. Yep... someone hit us and then decided they suddenly had Olympic sprinting potential. Huge bummer. We felt terrible, stressed, and honestly just pretty down about the whole thing. But then--like superheroes in a world of car chaos--our insurance connected us with Unicar, and everything turned around. These folks are amazing! They walked us through every step of the process, explained the insurance maze in a way actual humans can understand, and kept us updated the entire way. Honestly, I've had friends who communicate less than they do. Not only will I be coming back here for ANY future car fixes, but I'll also be recommending this shop to all my friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and probably some strangers at the grocery store. Dunia is the best--truly a 5-star employee! And Zaren went above and beyond bringing our car back to life. It looks and feels brand new! If my car could talk, it would probably say, "Wow... who is she?" Unicar, thank you for turning a rough situation into a really great experience!

I can't say enough good things about Unicar Auto in Pasadena. When someone unexpectedly turned into…read moremy car late on a Friday afternoon, Unicar came through in a big way. They inspected my car and took all the photos my insurance company needed--moments before closing. I've had experiences in the past where I'd sit around for over an hour just to get an inspection. Not here. They don't waste time, and they don't leave you hanging. They made what should've been a stressful situation totally painless. Their partnership with the Enterprise Rent-A-Car just down the street also made getting a rental fast and easy. They did a fantastic job repairing my car, taking the time to listen to my concerns and keeping me informed throughout. On top of that, I had them do an oil change and replace my front brakes while the repair parts were in transit. They gave me a very reasonable price and stuck to it--no surprise fees or haggling. Even if it meant eating $30 on their end, they honored the original quote. That kind of integrity is rare. Thanks to their efficiency, I didn't have to visit a second shop or be without my car again later in the week. I originally found them through Mercury Insurance, but now they're my go-to for any auto repair needs. Highly recommend Unicar if you want honest, skilled, and genuinely kind people working on your car.

I took my vehicle in for a relatively minor rear bumper repair. I got one other quote prior to…read morebringing it to Zoom and they were both comparable. The reason I chose Zoom is because they were friendly, to the point, fast service and explained everything to me in easy to understand terms. I dropped the vehicle off for a quote, which was done on the spot. Just a few days later, I dropped off the vehicle and it was completed in less than a week. Alen and the entire Zoom team were awesome. Also, Zoom repaired the bumper which saved a few hundred dollars, instead of another shop that wanted to replace the bumper. The bumper looks as if a new one was installed though. I would highly recommend this shop as a one stop shop for repair of your vehicle.

To…read moresay Alen made this process of repair on my Toyota Corolla 2024 a smooth experience would be an understatement. He was with me and guiding and providing updates to me throughout the whole process, always answering all my calls and any concerns I had and even continuously providing updates on his own. They are a small business shop, but as someone who has gone to multiple auto repair locations, I have to say Zoom Auto Body put an exceptional level of care into their service and I'm thoroughly satisifed and impressed. I would strongly recommend their service to any and all individuals with any car and automotive needs if you want a location that is personal, professional, has a sense of urgency and is with you all the way. Thanks Alen!
