1st off, Thank you Jeremiah and everyone that works at the establishment of South Bay Collision Center for making my 1st experience very easy but just being real and upfront with everything. My first impression of this place was warm welcomed and genuine and they are not out to just hike up the price as a lot of shops do sadly to get as much money as they can from insurance claims rather then accepting truly both insurance and out the pocket. Short story, another driver turned into my car at a red light last minute without looking and hit my car. Nothing crazy but definitely noticeable on the front bumper. I agreed to get 3 estimates from 3 different place 1 place I have been to before and 2 others I never been before. I met Jeremiah and he was up front with a lot of information and just being real with me genially and I always appreciate that rather than adding unnecessary things to just make the prices higher as if they were trying to get as much as possible as a lot of places do with insurance companies. In my opinion the prices were fair and realistic and they will work with insurance and paying out the pocket customers. The turn around time of completion was very convenient for me but not expected. I rather always have the job done right of course first. The bumper was fixed perfectly and within a very good turnaround time so I did not need a rental or loaner car thankfully. The work was done very professionally and they were very nice and talkative with legit information on explaining everything with me. The communication was very open and made the whole experience easy and headache free. They have a lifetime warranty that backs their work for anything that worked on and fixed themselves. Also washed my car when my it was finished and ready for pick up. i believe on their website it shows any repairs etc. over $1000 a car wash will be included as well. I personally, had a great experience with my 1st time with Jeremiah and all of his team. I would highly recommend to at least meet Jeremiah and his team for an estimate and feel them out yourself. And of course I would recommend in general to have work done. I am extremely grateful to have met Jeremiah and his team. Thank you all! Greatly appreciated! read more

O have been a client for years. Only place I that I go to and recommend to my clients. Kevin is professional, always meets deadlines and stands behind his work. For quality and competent and most of all lifetime warranty. read more

Update: It took 1 hour to diagnose the issue, 1 week to receive the correct part, and just 20 minutes to install it. Frank, an employee at South Bay Collision and the so-called "expert" key guy, ordered the wrong part--an E46 component instead of the correct one for a W39. This caused unnecessary delays that could have easily been avoided. It's concerning that someone in his position would make that kind of mistake and not take accountability. Be aware of Frank and his employer at South Bay Collision--accountability is key, especially when customers are relying on accurate work and timely service. Thankfully, we were able to get the issue resolved quickly once someone knowledgeable stepped in. read more

Jeremiah and team are great. Looks like a family operation. Reasonable in price and did the work quickly. Easy to talk to. Provided estimates that were fair. Like their whole operation. A little hard to understand which parking lot to pull into but they just moved so they talk to you no matter where you pull in. Thanks guys! read more

My husband made an appointment for steam cleaning my engine after a referral from our mechanic down the street. They did a nice job and kept their time commitment for completion of the job. We dropped off my vehicle at 8:30 am and it was ready at noon. Employees were courteous and prices fair. Highly recommend them! read more

It's rare to find a place that's both efficient and genuinely friendly--highly recommend! read more

I'm very grateful for Jeremiah and his team. My front bumper was falling apart and several shops I inquired with wouldn't touch it, or quoted a very high rate. Even though no one was able to get the part, they repaired it and now it looks brand new!! Him and his team were responsive, transparent and did excellent work! We also got a free ride to enterprise and got a very reasonable rate for a rental to hold us over during the repair. So happy I came here and got the work done! read more

After this last snow storm I had some damage to my new car. I was at a loss as to where to go for repairs. My closest friend recommended I go to South Bay as they had recently helped her with damages to her car, so I did. It was the absolute best decision! As soon as I met Donald I felt at ease. He assured me that he would be able to help me AND help me he did! I cannot say enough about this amazing business! I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. If you find yourself in a position where you need an expert to fix your car, don't hesitate! South Bay is the only way to go! I couldn't be happier! read more

If you're anywhere in the southbay, it'd be a mistake to go anywhere else. The estimates may be comparable but the service, timeliness and honesty is second to none. They say you can have something done right or you can have it done fast but these guys manage to do BOTH with some of the best service I've ever experienced. While I hope to never need collision repair again , if I do I know exactly who I'm calling. read more

Great service at this shop. Came by initially with my wife's Honda to have them fix the dent on the back passenger door. The insurance team recommended these guys and I'm glad they did. After the paperwork part was worked out, Vic was able to schedule us in for service. Communication was excellent and easy. I had to come back a couple months later cause the wife and/or kids dragged the right lower molding off somewhere (don't ask). Vic was able to help me out and take care of replacing the molding with the quickness. I highly recommend these guys for your auto body needs. read more

I brought my Vinfast to be fixed at the shop. I'm very happy with the service and my car looks great! They worked with me and my insurance. I had a hard time finding a Vinfast repair shop. This shop is Vinfast certified. Jeremiah was great help, he was so nice and helped me repair my car quickly. read more

The mechanics and technicians did an absolute beautiful job repairing the many dents, tears, and areas of damage on my car, including dents, upholstery tears, and scrapes. They completed all repairs in a very timely manner, were very gracious with the use of a loaner car, and worked with my schedule to get everything repaired on time. The amount of detail they cleaned my car with at the end was truly impressive. One of the best places around. I highly recommend! read more

Great service, great value, and skilled craftsmen. You cannot go wrong. I recently brought them my 2008 Lexus in for a facelift. It has been through a lot. Thanks to them, it now looks like a new car! Jeremiah and his team did a great job and even fixed some miscellaneous dings and dents I did not expect. I lot can happen with your car baby in 16 years! These guys treat it like their own. Call them. You will not be disappointed. They're the best! I've included a photo of my new "DashSkin" dash cover they installed for me. They covered all of those ugly cracks from years of sun exposure. Even my interior feels new now! read more

Had a car bumper cover replaced and repainted. Unfortunately the shop did a poor color match with my car. Brought it back and they repeated it again essentially the same color that did not match the car. I am now spending additional money out-of-pocket taking it to another shop to get my bumper repainted so it can be properly color matched. read more

It's hard for me to leave a bad review, but I think now it's justifiable. I took my vehicle in twice, for different problems. First time, with the collision, my vehicle lost most fluids, and after repairs, the transmission was slipping, they claimed that the repairs had nothing to do, that it was about to fail (a fairly new car), and the AC had to be adjusted,charged/discharged three times to make it work again. Each time I took my vehicle for adjustments my vehicle had to be there for a few days. The place is really close to me, so the second time I had an accident I decided to give them another chance. This time, the suspension parts were replaced, and some other cosmetic work was done. I picked my car up on a Friday, Monday I was back as front wheels were loose, and wabbling, very unsafe to drive, and the front bumper to this day, it's still off, they could never permanently re-atach it. The first time I mentioned this, the guy kicked it in to make it "snap" supposedly with some clips inside. It came off again the same day. I can live with that. But the second time, they charged the insurance more, and they put is as "additional damages" although the suspension work was a poor job that they sub-contracted with a shop that is next door to them. The work supposedly is guaranteed for life, within reason, I agree. Well, the cheap parts used in the suspension started falling apart after only about 15k miles, very unusual for suspension parts. It is a common family car used for work/home 14 miles trips. I took it in again, they remember me, same people, and they graciously listened to me, but after seeing the damages, and when I mentioned warranty, they told me that they changed ownership, and that the old owners took all the records with them, and therefore I'm out of luck. A very shady way of ripping off customers. I work in customer service, and I would never do that to anyone. read more

Liars! 1. They stated to be approved repair shop for my insurance company only to find out after work was completed are not. 2. Dismantled my back bumper which only had some scratches to say it needed to be replace which almost resulted in the car being totaled. 3. Took off my back window tint and when called was told paper work only states side window was taken off as part of repair process, then on 2nd call was told they didn't touch my window. Be aware, cant trust. read more

We had only used Sako, Vic and crew for body work until recently. I brought in my wife's Flex for an interior/exterior detailing. Wow! The result was awesome! The car looked like we were just taking it off the lot for the first time. Thanks so much for the incredible service! We will be back. read more

Arian was the best and he took care of my car within days after dropping it off and did an amazing paint job, reflector replacement, and buffing of headlights for a reasonable price. Would definitely come back again for any future needs. read more

They did an awesome job on my SUV. You couldn't even tell it had been hit. They did the work in a timely fashion, the only delay was getting a part, and even then it was like a a day or two delay. I highly recommend Southbay Collision. read more

One of the few shops that do Aluminum body work in the area these guys were great from start to finish. Carlos kept me up to date through the entire repair and really had to do some leg work with the insurance company. I hope not to need a bodyshop anytime soon but this is the place I'll be coming if I do. read more

Terrible service from start to finish. Let's start with the old woman at the front berating my hand writing multiple times. Then when I asked about renting a car, she said "I'm not enterprise so I wouldn't know." A mechanic was being rude to another customer while I was sitting here and talking down to him. He was an older man that clearly had a language barrier. Finally, my mechanic quoted me a price that went up after further inspection. That was fine, but in the end the price went up three times. He told me it was because of additional parts but the receipt showed he added $900 worth of ADDITIONAL LABOR and would not walk me through the bill. Instead he ran to the back and sat there until I was ready to get the car. You all should clean the whole staff out because you are all atrocious. read more

Thank you South Bay Collision and Carlos for you excellent customer service and repair done to my Ford Fusion. My car looks like new again! read more

Been coming here for years never disappoints. Saco has been taken care of all our cars. Whether it's body work or a detail they do such a great job. Would not use any other collision shop. I recommended all my family and friends to come to "SOUTH BAY COLLISION CENTER." read more

Vic and his Brother were amazing. For a very reasonable price they painted the roof , roof rack and rear bumper of my 2002 Toyota Landcruiser. Truck looks like new and they even detailed the interior as well. Many thanks and will definitely recommend them! read more

I have used Sako a total or 5 times for various issues throughout the last 5 years. His team fixed my MKZ bumper after it was hit and was able to fix a misaligned lift gate for our MKC that SB Ford was quoting an arm and a leg. Sako is down to earth, fair, and his team do impeccable work. I recently brought my Tesla Model Y in for a door ding and his master puller did an excellent job. You can't even tell there was a dent. My last time in I had damaged my lift gate with an accidental opening via the app while the garage door was open. Sako's team worked with me on a fair out of pocket quote and even was able to give a better price once completed based on actual time spent. I'm a perfectionist and couldn't believe that I couldn't see the paint blend. It was perfect. Nobody in the industry has that work ethi is that fair and reasonable. I'm exclusively working with Sako on any future work needed as they do a great job and work well with insurance. Top notch class acts. read more

I scratched my car pretty badly and took it to a local body shop for a quote. It was really high and they said it would take weeks, so I asked around for a recommendation and a friend raved about Sako at South Bay Collision Center. After taking it there, I understand why. Both he and Carlos were outstanding professionals every step of the way. They quoted me about half what the other place quoted me and got the job done in under three days. The car looked brand new and they gave it a nice cleaning for good measure! I hope I don't damage my car again anytime soon but if I do, I know I'll be in great hands taking it back to SBCC. read more

Took my girlfriends silver 2017 Mustang here after she got rear ended and the fit, finish of the paint was damn near perfect! The amount of orange peel, clear on the rear bumper was pretty much a perfect match to the rear 1/4 panels, trunk etc. I have a pretty good eye for paint and the finish was pretty much factory-like paint no kidding.. Very impressive and the three day turnaround was a bonus. It's a bit more expensive than others but hey, it's worth it to get quality paint! Good job Sako! -Richard read more

These guys are so helpful to walk me through the process and the body work is top notch. Vic is awesome! Highly recommended.

Came in for a dent In My tailgate and they did a great job fixing it in less than 4 days! Will be coming back for future needs. Thanks Carlos and sako! read more

Not 2 months after I'd purchased my dream car (first new car I've ever purchased - so it was a big deal), this A**HOLE comes into my lane and destroys the front right side of my car. I don't think I've ever felt so CRUSHED. I definitely cried (like, A LOT). The insurance company tried to manipulate me into going to a shop of their choice, but I talked to both Carlos and Vic and they told me that the insurance co. was legally obligated to let me go to whichever shop I wanted. Both my mom and I have had work done here at SBCC (myself on an old car and my mom on her Lexus), so I already knew the caliber of the work that they do. I insisted on taking my baby to SBCC and I am SO HAPPY that I did. Upon dropping my baby off with them, a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. They explained the process to me and told me they'd be ordering all Ford parts - no shortcuts or substitutions with them! They kept me informed of what was going on the entire time - I even ran into Vic at Costco one day and comforted me about the progress on my car. After my car was finished, they called me and told me it was ready to be picked up. I rushed out of work to drop of my shitty 4 cylinder eco-boost rental and as soon as I pulled up into the driveway of SBCC, I saw my baby looking as good as new (actually even BETTER than when I bought it because the dealership from which I purchased the car allowed the hood to get scratched). I CRIED. I literally CRIED tears of joy when I picked up my car that day. I can't explain how EXCELLENT it felt to see my car damage-free. In fact, I'm tearing up a bit as I write this.. Vic and Carlos absolutely know how much your car means to you and they treat it with as much care as if it were their own. I really, really, REALLY can't thank them enough for all of their hard work and effort. I'm so ELATED to have my car back in my life and looking PERFECT! THANK YOU GUYS SO SO SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING MY CAR LOOK GORGEOUS AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Everyone can see the pics below as a testament to the amazing work that SBCC does - after seeing my car, even my coworkers wanted to bring their cars over to SBCC to have some work done. These guys are fair, honest, and ON POINT! Also, side note; I'm getting front and rear dash cams installed on my car and I suggest everyone reading this do the same. CYA, guys! read more

Vic at South Bay Collision Center greatly exceeded all of my customer service and repair expectations. I had a lingering issue with my rear passenger door and Vic repaired the issue quickly, thoroughly, and without overcharging me. I felt listened to throughout the whole process - a rarity in car customer service these days. Should I need an auto body shop in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to South Bay Collision. read more

Unfortunately this is the certified BMW and MINI repair for Long Beach and South Bay.

The owners Sako Libarian and Vic Libarian and their assistant Carlos Lopez provided a quick and fair estimate of damage and took care of the rest in coordination with my insurance company. They were knowledgeable, helpful and emphasized that they wanted to make sure I was completely satisfied. Their personality was engaging without being overbearing. Easy to work with. GO THERE. They are popular - as a result the wait time to bring the car in for repair was a little more than I expected but was doable and glad I waited for them to do the work. read more

My Tesla Model S was rear ended and needed some minor repairs. Some of my colleagues advised me to take it to a Tesla "approve" repair center, but because South Bay Collision Center was so close to home, I decided to have them do the repairs. First, the job was done excellent, on time as promised, with friendly service. Highly recommend them! read more

I recently had my Mercedes Benz in for repair for the passenger side door and side bumper. When I dropped my car off, Vic was very professional and did an inspection and set the proper expectations of how long it would take to receive my part and approximately how long my car would be in for repair. He made sure when I dropped my car off that enterprise was there to take me to get my Rent-A-Car. The repairs turned out great and my car looked like new. Thank you so much for your great service. Your team was awesome! I would definitely recommend using them. read more

If I could give 10 stars to South Bay Collision Center I would! Thanks to my Mercury Insurance rep for helping me find a solid reputable auto repair shop for my 2014 Infiniti Q50 luxury car that was hit in the back bumper by someone backing into it in a parking lot. Given all the great reviews on Yelp for SBCC - I set up an estimate appointment with Carlos and was well taken care of from that point on. They were very professional and efficient with their communication all 4 days of the repair. The back bumper looks brand new! Very pleased with everything! Don't hesitate to call on Carlos, Vic or Sako! They are experts and very reliable!! Thank you for handling such a sensitive issue with respect and professionalism! read more

These guys are the BEST. Hands down, perfectionists in their work and the most professional and courteous body shop around. Someone hit me a few weeks ago and the two other body shops the insurance companies directed me to completely and totally failed me. The shops made it clear I was low priority on their list, failing to submit paperwork and telling me one thing but the insurance companies another. I was frustrated to say the least. Luckily, South Bay Collision Center was able to fix the problems the other shops failed to see. They took such amazing care of me and my car--restoring it in unbelievable speed, even detailing it before returning my car to me. I will be eternally grateful to the Team here at SBCC for everything they did for me. They're the ones for any work you need, you won't regret it. Thank you South Bay Collision Center! You're my Heroes. read more
