Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish!…read more Alex Poberezkin made the insurance claim process incredibly easy. He followed up with the insurance company, clearly explained me every step of the repair process, and consistently kept me updated so I always knew what was happening. James Scuderi was equally impressive--proactive, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to every question I had about the repairs. Chelsea Riccomi completed the experience by arranging a Lyft ride for me to pick up my vehicle once the work was finished, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. The entire process was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. Alex, James, and Chelsea truly went above and beyond, and the level of communication and customer care was exceptional. This was easily one of the best auto-repair experiences I have ever had. I highly recommend this team!

Avoid Autobahn Collision Center…read more After damaging the charging port door on our EQS 450, we called Autobahn Motors (where we bought the car) for a recommendation. They sent us to their affiliated body shop, which quoted us about $850. We did our homework and also got a quote from Alioto's Garage in San Mateo, which was slightly lower. Still, out of loyalty, we went with Autobahn. Big mistake. About an hour after dropping off the car, they called and doubled the price to ~$1,700, claiming the EV required significantly more labor. That's something they should have known--and disclosed--before giving an estimate. Instead, it came after they had the car in their possession. That's not a revision. That's a bait-and-switch. We immediately picked up the car and took it to Alioto's. They completed the repair perfectly at their original quoted price--no drama, no excuses, no last-minute surprises. It's hard not to feel like Autobahn Collision Center leans on dealership referrals to get customers in the door, then inflates pricing when the customer is paying out of pocket. Save yourself the time and aggravation. Go elsewhere.

When I arrived he walked around the car with me showed me all work and I have to say it looks fantastic. I am very happy. We also discussed replacing my rear deck lid hatch.

I was not looking for a total restoration of my bumper; I just wanted a new headlight installed and the bumper straightened out a little. ABT was the only place that gave me an affordable quote and was willing to come to my house to do the work. I went online and purchased the new headlight as it was way cheaper than buying from Toyota. (I only ordered one headlight kit, but I received two!) ABT actually came out a day earlier than we had originally planned on. Francisco did a GREAT job replacing both of my headlights (so they match...I was worried one would be shiny and the other dull yellow). The bumper looks pretty darn good...much better than I was expecting. My car is old so I would have been happy to duct tape it back together...LOL. They kept in touch via text to let me know when they would arrive. They charged me exactly what they originally quoted even though I had the extra headlight. They completed the work in 90 minutes. Francisco was super nice and polite. I couldn't be more pleased! I highly recommend ABT if you need body work done on your car and would like someone come to you to do the work.

I requested a quote for repair of a bunch of rock chips on the front fender of my car. We met, discussed the plan to fill in the chips with paint, and I understood it wasn't going to look perfect by any means, but seemed like the color would at least be a close match again. Literally 30 minutes later I got a call the job was done and came out to what looked like grayish White Out had been quickly dabbed onto each of the rock chips. I was kind of shocked at how it looked and asked what else could be done to which he basically replied "this color is really hard to match so I can sand/paint the whole front bumper, but it still won't match the rest of the car" so didn't really seem like a solution at all. A few things. I understand there are material costs of doing the job, but for 30 minutes of labor and a poor outcome I think $400 was nuts even though this was cheaper than other quotes. If the color of my car (stock Lexus pearl white) was too difficult to match, he could've just said so before putting paint on my car. Again, if the number of rock chips was too many to fix, I wish he would've just said that before beginning or after the first one. Lastly, I was just very annoyed with the offered "solution". Tony was a really nice guy and I do feel like I went into this with realistic expectations, but now my $60k car looks like it has grayish chicken pox all over the front and I'm pretty angry.

Super fast, transparent, and professional from start to finish. They also topped off my fluids and filled my tires, which I really appreciated.

I recently had both the front and rear bumper on my 2008 BMW repainted. After many year of parking in SF the bumpers were pretty chewed up. Gene did a great job. He was able to fix the damaged portions and blend in the paint for a perfect match. The bumpers are smooth and the new coat of paint looks nice and shinny. The cost is a fraction of what an auto body shops would charge and he did his work in our driveway. It only took him a few hours vs leaving it for a few days at the shop. The bumper looks like new. Gene takes his time and does great work. I also had him restore the headlight on my minivan. They were yellow and all fogged up. They now look like new. Gene first cleans (sand/buff) the lenses and then reseals them. This should last many years and he warranties his work. read more

He even went the extra mile to check my tire pressure and fill all four tires when he noticed my dash light was on.

He also stressed us out by claiming the other party's insurance wouldn't cover it (they did). Jerry was exceptionally rude, insulting, and quick to shift blame. He outright called me "crazy" over the phone simply because I was calling on behalf of my sister. A $350 daily storage fee is absurd and feels like a shady money grab. To top it off, when we picked up the car, we noticed the dashcam had been removed. Jerry only brought it up after we asked, making up a weak excuse about preventing break-ins, only to hand it back to us days later after leaving it inside an unlocked car. TL;DR: Rude owner who resorts to insults and gaslighting, charges absurd hidden fees, and is a straight up CROOK. Save yourself the headache and go anywhere else.
