Went in for my car door that was wrecked. He only had to fix and color that door and ended up painting the door and the other panels next to that door so that the color could look the same. DO NOT COME HERE FOR A PAINT JOB!!!! The color does not even match my car at all! He's giving me some bullshit saying that he needed to blend it to make it look good but honestly go somewhere else to repair your car! He got paint all on my windshield and part where he painted on my door! For insurance purposes I would go somewhere else but if you're looking for something cheaper I would say take your chance. read more

This is my first time reviewing Royal Crown but my second repair with them. A few years ago Alvin and his team repaired front end damage on my old Lexus. I was so happy with the results I knew if I needed a body shop, Royal Crown would be my "go to". I recently brought them my newer Lexus for repair on my driver's door. As always, Alvin and his team did an excellent job on my car and it took them about a week to have it ready and only because of parts delays. I known Alvin for a while and I trust him and his team. He even polished my headlights on the house! My car looks amazing. Thank you guys! read more

Royal Crown Autoworks - Before and after - Body Shops Near Me - Gardena, California

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Terrible service. I waited an ENTIRE DAY just for a quote and they didn't even try to help me. Alvin is extremely unreliable and a complete joke as an auto shop "owner". ALVIN YOU ARE A DISGRACE. read more

The owner of this shop, Alvin, is a flat out crook. He collects your insurance money, does absolutely no work to your car and lets it sit there and feeds you a lot of excuses such as delayed shipping and problems getting a bumper on. All I had for my vehicle was for it have a bumper replaced and have it re-wrapped. This lazy dishonest sheister let me car sit at his shop since the end of April of last year and it's still there now read more

I just gotta say that I'm very pleased with Royal Crown Auto. I went yesterday to plastidip my wheels black on my Infiniti & Alvin hooked that shit up!! Prices are great too & everyone there including Alvin(the owner) give you cool vibes. read more

Excellent service, professionalism, and communication at a fair price. Alvin came out to my home in Torrance today to Plastidip the rims of my Maserati Granturismo. I wanted a new "look" without dropping too much cash and Alvin was the perfect solution. He Plastidipped my gunmetal grey Maserati birdcage rims into a glossy black color. All in all, he applied about 5-6 coats of spray; start to end time for all 4 rims was approximately 1.5 hours. He was very flexible about his work space and made sure not to overspray anything besides his intended targets. My biggest concern throughout this process was making sure that the finished Plastidip product didn't look cheap or flimsy. Thankfully, I'm very satisfied with how they turned out. I plan to have Alvin come back to dip the chrome trim on my ride in the future. read more

This place is corrupt. Alvin, the 5'3" owner, who some mistake as a sloppy, live-action version of Pumba from the Lion King, is a con artist who sells off the parts of your car while the car is in the shop. He stole and then resold the OEM parts in my car for profit. My Lexus GX was returned to me with scratches due to poor workmanship. I later learned my insurance company now refuses to work with him due to scams. I made the mistake of bringing my Lexus to Alvin, I wouldn't bring him a hand-powered lawn mower. This place is crooked. Alvin is the definition of untrustworthy. He runs the business off of a mobile phone and the "shop" is just Alvin on his phone. He uses another shop as cover to pretend like he's an actual business. Read the recent reviews from others. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THIS SCAM ARTIST. read more

I took my car to Royal Crown for a full paint job because of a crazy person that vandalized my car. They took care of everything from start to finish. My Lexus looks amazing just like how I got it from the dealer. Sooo happy with their work, Thanks guys. read more

They do really good work, but they take too much time doing it. I took my car in for a tint and they took and entire day to complete the job; a little over priced also but the job was well done! read more

Man I was supposed to get my car painted here because I always pass by here and they always looked busy and they had cool cars all the time . I called like four times and no call back . I figured they might be busy so I took my car in to get a estimate for a full paint job and when I got there I got greeted in a friendly manner and I liked the price and we set a time for me to come bring the car in which was Monday. I came in and they were closed like at 10 am . I got a call from the owner like around 4 pm to bring it in but i couldn't because of work . so I decided to come back Tuesday and leave it and again they were closed . I mean it sucks now that i realize they have a lot of cars there isn't because they're busy but instead because they don't work responsibly . I'll be taking my car to another shop unfortunately . read more

Can I give Royal Crown Autoworks more than 5 stars? They did an amazing job with body work on my car, the paint job was flawless, and the timing in which they worked on my car was as promised. The shop employees work ethic is genuinely great. All the guys that helped me when I dropped off the car and picked it up were very welcoming and always had a smile on their faces. I'm not exactly car savvy, but Alvin was so helpful. He explained in great detail the process of the repairs and he answered all my questions. He made it easy for me to feel comfortable with the whole process. When I picked up my car I was in shock, it looked brand new. They certainly exceeded my expectations. read more

Just got my new highlander plastidipped here. Really nice guys that were very professional and fair. They have a waiting room with wifi so I just brought a laptop and hung out while they did the four wheels, decal/emblems, and grill. Superb job, car looks dope! read more

I love the outcome. if nyone asks me about plasti dip im referring them here.

The best thing about Royal Crown is that they drive to where you're at! I made an appointment to plasti-dip my 20 inch rims on my 350z. They came on time and prepared. The final product was amazing and I was very satisfied with the results. Now every week, I get a carwash (includes vacuuming) from them as well. Keep up the good work! read more

They say that from the Service Holly Trinity (Good, Cheap and Fast) you can only get two, maybe true but Alvin and his team they really get you the 3 as close as it gets. I bring him my car thinking he was gonna have to keep it for at least 2 weeks and he is like "I'll have it ready friday" and am like "sometime next month?" ..."No, next week".... Am gear head, I love my car, that was like being told you won some contest or a price. Alvin....as I told you, the word is HAPPY!! hopefully not too soon but I will be coming back and I will refer anybody I know. No sweat, no complications....my type of business!! read more

Absolutely great! I can't say enough about this shop! Alvin & everyone there was incredibly helpful, HONEST, & really cared about the work they did to my car, made it look new again!! It is never easy to find a shop that is trustworthy with hard working employees but I really hit the jackpot with this shop! The prices can not be beat & neither can the work! So thankful to everyone at Royal Crown Autoworks! read more

The "owner" Alvin is the definition of a JOKE and his picture has to be next to the word clown as well. I made the mistake of bringing my 2018 Audi here for a broken tail light and scuffed bumper. Alvin had my vehicle for 43 days, I had to continuously call him about updates on my car and hassled him on when my car would be ready. Then had to show up unannounced to 14919 Crenshaw Blvd Gardena to retrieve payment for the balance on the rental because he took so long. I am completely disgusted by the work that was done and the chaos of lies that spilled out of Alvins mouth countless times. I am just thankful I so happened to take my vehicle to the dealership for a routine service and they stated everything was fine. (thank god nothing was missing or sold) I am even more upset that I did not read the yelp reviews sooner. I would HIGHLY discourage anyone to even get air in their tires here. Negative stars needed read more

I don't recomend Alvin because he works with scams, when he fixes body parts he is to lazy to do the work correctly... the entire work is a crap. I try to reach him, i go to this place and he's never there, he is hiding from me. If you guys go to Alvin, please check the work done after he says that he's done and you'll see what i'm talking about. Check every part carefully where he buffs it out, where he paints, and internal parts because he likes to put a lot of sharp things in the trunk n car seats. He says that hooks it up with the price because he gets 60% discount off from the pieces that he buys but he doesn't buys new pieces, he uses the old ones, he just fixes old one n crappy paint them. read more

These guys are the best!!! Car got side swiped, and now it looks new! Alvin and the team worked with my insurance. Made it very easy for me!

I came here to get my bumper fixed and repainted. Alvin was very nice and their work was amazing. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Alvin! read more

Got my rims dipped in a satin shine black and they look amazing! Great fast service, fair price, and nice guys to boot.

Did an awesome job dipping my rims and emblems! Quick, cheap, quality job and great service! I recommend everyone to go here!

I would not reccomend this place. This guy takes forever and never replies to phone calls or messages. I picked up my car after 10 weeks of being there for a job thats suppose to take about 2 weeks. The fender still didn't line up with the door jam, the door still scrapes the fender. Paint drips EVERYWHERE. They broke clips on my window visors. I mean just a horrible HORRIBLE job. I didn't even want to go back for him to "fix" his mistakes because I can't trust them. After picking up my car all of a sudden my gas tank smells like its leaking gas, as if there is a hole in it. There's some weird addictive in my oil. I mean come on, this is just bullshit. I will never, ever EVER leave my car or reccomend this place to anyone. STAY AWAY. Every time I went to check on my car someone else was complaining about the shotty job they did. Yes I had to physically go there because this guy NEVER answers phone calls or text, always claiming his phone is broken. Also claiming "oh I'll have it ready by the end of the week" bullshit. Anyone else that claims good reviews must be friends. Just stay away, spend your money on a more reputable shop. Do not go here, I repeat DO NOT go here. If i could give negative stars i would. read more

I set up an appointment with Alvin 2 days ago to Plastidip my wheels and was quoted a good price (cheaper than the other shops that I called. Plus, there's a 10$ off when you check in on Yelp). When I got to the shop, I was greeted by Alvin and he stopped what he was working on and started on my car immediately. He was very friendly and accommodating..even offered me soda or water during the time I was waiting for him to finish. He even offered if I wanted to check out his friends Mustang GT's engine. Very humble guy. An hour and half later, he finished plastidipping my wheels and I was amazed on how it looked. It's perfect and I'm very satisfied with his work. Alvin and the rest of the guys are really cool. I'll surely go back to Royal Crown again for my next mod. Thanks Alvin! read more

Let's break this review down on 3 aspects: cost, customer service and the overall outcome. Cost: I inquired about getting a wash/clay bar/wax for my BMW E60 M5 and the quote was very competitive with the local detailing/car wash spots in my area (Hawthorne CA). I was quoted $40 less than the leading detailer within a 5 mile a radius. Although most places charge less because the product or service isn't that great, I was confident that Royal Crown would perform a fantastic job since I've seen some of the cars they've detailed recently (W211 E63 AMG, W219 CLS63 AMG and a few 350Z). This alone was enticing enough for me to consider them. Customer service: Aside from the fact that they're mobile, the customer service is second to none. They were at my driveway no less than 5 minutes from the time they mentioned on the phone. Having said another, they will come to you no matter where you're car is located (within a reasonable distance) and detail your car on the spot as they have a water tank and compressor that allows them to perform their services remotely. Mad props to the guys at Royal Crown for coming through. I was a bit concerned since I was the last car to be detailed that day and I was worried that they would be too tired to really put some elbow grease into their work, but to my surprise, they worked on my M5 as if it was the first car of the day. Results: The paint was smooth as glass after the clay bar, and the wax/seal definitely made it shine more than it did after getting my car repainted last year due to my widebody project. The alpine white finish has never been brighter. I immediately noticed that there were less swirls on the hood and trunk and the gloss black roof. I took the car to 2 carshows the following weekend (Oakley MFEST & Long Beach Grand Prix) and people kept asking if the car was newly painted. They surely noticed the prestige condition of the paint and the process done to clean it. I definitely plan to getting my car done every month. read more

I've spent about a day searching for the best place to get my bumper fixed in Garden until I finally found Royal Crown Autoworks. The staff (I personally dealt with Alvin) was very friendly and knowledgeable and the equipment they use is the newest available today. Their services were extremely reasonable for sure the lowest price in the area. This is a production shop that mostly handles collision repair and although they seemed very busy they were able to get me back on the road within 45 minutes. I highly recommend this shop for any of your automobile needs. Thanks Alvin! read more

Does awesome work with very good rates. We have him come down to our office every Friday and he does at least 10 cars every time. Update 9/20/13: Still comes to our office on time every Friday. I've also had him do three different plastidip jobs on my car: front grill, window trim, and rims. Work came out great. He also did my roof wrap and the work was top notich read more

What good isn't there that I cannot say about Royal crown and The owner Alvin?! Alvin has saved my ass twice in about a two to three month period and both times provided me great quality, efficient and resounding auto body work in a timely manner and when he promised the first time. Basically Alvin is a man of his word, if he tells you three or four days he'll crunch it out and have it done so you can be rolling again like nothing ever happen. Contacted Alvin in January at RCA for rear end work through my insurance claim and he handled it. Came back for seconds in march after a valet damaged the front end of my vehicle and again, Alvin worked his magic by doing a hell of a job patching up license plate holes drilled into my front end and the damages caused by valet. All the work he's done for me has came at a very inexpensive and economically sound prices, not one job that has ever broken the bank and provides the highest quality work possible for great prices. read more

Best body shop in town without a doubt. My 2007 Volvo looks brand new after Alvin and his team repaired the smashed quarter panel and other dents around the car.

Do not, under any circumstances, take your car there for any reason. Our experience was a nightmare. Alvin, the "owner" of the "shop", took our car for repairs from an accident for 52 days and when we picked it up, the work wasn't complete and we had to take it to an Audi dealership who worked on it for another 18 days because the repairs were not done correctly. During all this time, Alvin could not be reached by phone (mailbox constantly full), did not answer his phone and didn't respond to multiple texts and e-mails. We checked with the BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repairs) and they assured us that he is not licensed!! The number on his website is the only number to reach him. It's his cell phone. Since we couldn't reach him, we had to go to his "shop". When he wasn't there, other people who worked there, but not for him, didn't know where he was and couldn't reach him either. He received a check from the Insurance Company for repairs, part of which was to be paid to the Audi Dealership for the repairs they performed. But, he didn't pay the dealership for a week, knowing full well that we couldn't pick up the car until he paid them. Again he ignored our texts, calls and emails pleading with him to pay them, making it so we could not get our car for an additional 7 days. We lost use of the vehicle for a total of 70 days! Just a total nightmare! read more
