I had an excellent experience with Musa and the team at SMT Auto Repair in San Mateo. I brought my Mercedes Benz in to have a damaged bumper repaired and was extremely pleased with their professionalism, prompt service, and attention to detail. The shop was exceptionally clean and organized, which says a great deal about the care and pride they take in their work. I also appreciated that they protected the driver's seat and floor with coverings while working on my car. When I picked it up, the interior had even been cleaned. Overall, I am very satisfied with the quality of the repair and the level of service I received. I feel confident that SMT Auto Repair is who I will call anytime I need auto body work in the future. Highly recommend! Thank you, Musa! read more

Had a great experience with Mahar at SMT. He was responsive to my initial request for a quote, and unlike other auto body shops, did the necessary research before quoting a price. Very accommodating and flexible in allowing me to drop off my car on a Sunday. Will definitely use again. read more

I came in Friday for a quick job, just needed help putting a front lip on my BRZ. Mo gave me a super reasonable quote and everything was buttoned up in less than an hour. He even fix a couple missing clips on the bumper assembly while he was in there. Anyway, if you're in the area and looking for an honest shop, this is your place. 5 stars. read more

An accident left some minor scratches on the back right end of my car. It hadn't been damaged before and was still fairly new, so I wanted to get it fixed properly. The party at fault and I agreed to handle the repair privately to avoid the hassle of insurance. While searching Yelp, I used Yelp's project feature -- which automatically sent my inquiry to several local body shops -- and that's how I discovered SMT. I chatted with Maher, who quoted me around $1,000. He was completely transparent, explaining what the pricing meant and what "by-the-book" repairs should include. Even more impressive, he told me I could reach out anytime for advice on other quotes, even if I didn't choose his shop -- and he genuinely meant it. I received quotes ranging from $500 to $1,600. The cheaper ones would have fixed it but not properly, while the higher ones followed correct repair procedures. I sent all these quotes to Maher for his input & his honesty and insight helped me a lot. It came down to SMT and another highly rated shop. Despite being more expensive($1.6k) I almost chose that shop since they had someone leave a positive review with photos of the same exact car model and color -- but ultimately, I trusted SMT more because of Maher's transparency. I dropped my car off on Monday and had it back by Thursday afternoon. The repair was flawless -- it looks like nothing ever happened. SMT even cleaned and detailed my car before pickup. Highly recommend SMT if you want fair pricing, honesty, and great work. They also work with all major insurance companies, and if you're paying out of pocket, they might be able to lower the cost to help you out. read more

My Tesla Model Y was parked in downtown Walnut Creek when someone backed into it and hit the rear bumper including a parking sensor that began triggering multiple error messages. I took the car to SMT Auto Body. Maher inspected it and told me what they would do to restore it back to a new condition. He was very friendly and felt very credible. He even gave me a tour of his body shop! I just picked up my car, and it is absolutely perfect. The repair work is flawless, and the car is spotless. I couldn't be happier with the results. This is officially my new Body Shop read more

Great local shop, in the neighborhood kind of shop. Service professional and friendly. My 2004 has a new headlight and bumper. I was recently hit on the el camino by an uninsured motorist. Maher and the guys took my car in unannounced and made it like new. The extra step of cleaning the car inside and out was a special, over the top addition. The price was very affordable. As I stated , the driver who hit me was uninsured, the shop worked with me to do what was necessary. read more

A lady backed up into me and crushed my hood. I was stressed about having to deal with yet another auto shop but I'm so glad I found SMT Auto Body on yelp! From the moment I drove into the shop until the moment I picked my car back up, it has been top notch service. You know that feeling you get when a car salesman says "I'll take care of you"? This is the complete opposite. It's more like when a childhood friend tells you "I got you". Once I confirmed I wanted them to start on my car, Mahar was already on the phone securing me a rental. Everything was smooth sailing and Mahar made sure to keep me posted on the progress. I really appreciated how both Mahar and Moises patiently explained everything and never once made me feel like an idiot (happens a lot at auto body shops cuz I'm an Asian girl). After this experience, I'm only ever going to SMT if I need work done on my car. My car was repaired perfectly and they cleaned my car inside and out. When I saw it, I was giddy like a kid in a candy store. It was prettier than when I first bought it . So impressed with these guys that we're coming back in the new year to take care of my husband's windshield. read more

Outstanding service, Mahar and his team went above and beyond at every step of the way in assisting me with my repairs. I was rear-ended at a red light, and even though at first the other person wanted to go around insurance, Mahar was quick to tell me that the price would most likely be above what anyone would want to pay out of pocket. He offered to speak to the other party himself to explain everything, which I greatly appreciated. He even assisted me with handling the report to the insurance company, letting me know about everything I should tell them, which was a great help with my first accident. When my availability didn't line up with when the repairs were complete, Mahar still offered to stay beyond the shop's closing time for me to pick up the car. And even when that didn't work, he was incredibly gracious enough to arrange for a different time. Upon picking up my car, I honestly couldn't even tell I was in an accident in the first place which was amazing. It seems like they cleaned inside the vehicle as well, which I really appreciated and didn't expect at all! Would 100% come back again if needed; which hopefully I won't. read more

Moises and his guys are awesome to work with. I've had my wife Aston Martin, My Porsche Cayman S, and my VW R32 all worked on by them. Reasonable prices and very knowledgeable and helpful for all budgets. read more

Mahar reached out quickly and provided a detailed estimate including parts and labor. I agreed to move forward and the parts for my bumper and fender replacement were ordered right away. The parts arrived quickly and his team started working on the vehicle immediately. The paint match came out great and the team also fixed a loose connection with my fog lights. Mahar originally expected the vehicle to be completed closer to the end of the week, but it was finished a few days earlier than expected. Great job overall and I would definitely recommend this auto body repair shop. If you go here, I recommend asking for Mahar. read more

1000/5 stars! Mahar and his team were excellent helping me fix my bumper after an accident.

There was thorough communication while my car was in their shop and I picked it up exactly within the estimated timeframe provided. I will definitely be coming here for any additional work on my car. Could not recommend this place more highly! You will be in great hands here! read more
