    I took my 2016 challenge to the Garage. It got keyed back in September. After doing some research on where to take the car. My husband and I decided the garage it would be. The hardest part was dealing with the insurance not with the garage. We just got our car back yesterday and I could not be happier. Nate did an Amazing job! Once again the garage has done an amazing job! Took my moms car in and Nate out did him self. My moms car got hit on the right side of the bumper. The car looks like nothing ever happen to it.

    All fixed !!

    Best body shop in San Leandro! If you're looking for quality work go hit up Nate over here at the shop. I was referred here by my buddy who does work for them too. I just needed "a" body shop just to get my car fixed and thought they were all the same. Why should I care when insurance is paying?? Later I found out other shops will half do the jobs and cut corners. This shop is not going to do that to you! Nate helped me out and told me insurance had to come out to see damage from the inside that they missed. Took about 3 weeks but that's because my insurance co took a while to see the damage and my door had to be special ordered which took another few days. Reasonable on delivery time and 3 weeks is fair. I'd rather get the job right. They told me exactly what's being done and kept updating me on progress. What great service. I got my car back which was cleaned up inside and outside!! Also Nate went out of his way to give me a ride which was helpful. Saved on my uber/lyft! As a side note, the guy at Hertz rental car , told me this was a good shop and I didn't even mention it!

    The Garage is the best spot to get your car looking right! I've taken my RAV there two times now and both times they have finished the job in a timely manner and with professional level quality. You can't even tell where the cars hit me. Thank you Nate for helping me get my car to looking brand new again! Highly recommend this place!!!

    I was looking for a shop that could paint my front end lip and diffuser that could have a reasonable price and I came to this shop. The price was decent and they get the job done within 1-2 days. Quick service and the pieces I took in came out exactly the way I wanted them to look. I plan on coming here again.

    Excellent service and a truly great experience with Ismail. I brought in my Tesla Model 3 because…read morethe passenger-side door was misaligned and would not close properly after the open door had struck an object. Ismail took a look right away and asked one of his mechanics to bring the car in for a closer inspection. Within about 15 minutes, they identified the issue as a simple misalignment, adjusted the door, and had it closing normally again. What impressed me most was the difference compared with a couple of other auto shops I had visited. They told me I would need to leave the car overnight just for an estimate, that the door might need to be removed, parts could need to be ordered, and the repair could take 10-15 days. Ismail was able to resolve the issue in less than 15 minutes without replacing any parts. I really appreciated his honesty, professionalism, efficiency, and willingness to help. It is refreshing to find someone who focuses on solving the problem instead of making the repair more complicated than it needs to be. I highly recommend Ismail and his shop. Five-star service all the way.

    10 STARS! If you're…read morelooking for something more than just a business that will deal with you, but more like a family or friend that takes care of you and will hook you up specially treating you like it's personal, this place is what you want! I had a minor incident that left considerable scratches, markings, and a small dent or two on my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander (not white). I dropped by just to get an estimate, and even though I didn't make an appointment, Elias was cool & considerate enough to still take me and checked it out. Where one collision repair shop in Fruitvale estimated $1800 (to take the whole panel off and work it), and another in Hayward estimated over $500, Elias hooked me up with the MOST unbelievable subtracting discount! I think & imagine I would only see something reserved to be offered in that degree given to a business owners' personal family or friends! To add to the exceptional, he and his guy offered to take care of me right there and then even though it was the late in the day (and it's not like I didn't see other cars being worked on too). I waited with him in his office, and we were just shooting the breeze. Elias is just the coolest, chillest, most laid back, most personable guy. A guy that's eager to do you a favor, do what he can for you; completely why you can see how I described him/them as an establishment/person that will treat & take care of you like a family or friend. And if you are big dog lover like I am, there's a bonus with his office/business, and I loved hanging out with him and his dog (I think his name was Jake). That dog is just a big teddy bear that just wants your attention and to play with you. In the end, for what he offered to do it for and considering it was just what they were able to fit in late in the day, I would say it got back to 98% there (so much so I even offered to give more $, which he wouldn't take [would only accept this Yelp review and pets to the dog]). To the extent that when I very apprehensively/fearfully showed it to my very scrutinizing-type wife, she accepted it and even took to it without having me take it back and get any more work done (to complete it by the last 2 percent; get it to the full 100%)! This goes to show that this place is as surprisingly impressive and proficient as I was surprised by my very scrutinizing wife's acceptance & approval. Couple notes about this place -- try not to park in the back, they do work there with cars coming in & out (it's not just for temporarily placing cars like I thought haha); just park in front of the garage opening (he prefers it right outside his office to see what has to be done). Also, as mentioned before, it's best to make an appointment even for an estimate. Elias (and Jake[?]) and his guy (I really wish I got his name; because I highly doubt I would've gotten such an awesome outcome if he wasn't willing as well) are the best! I can't imagine finding a cooler, most considerate guy in this. He/They did it with such quality work (look at my other estimates & what it would take) where I'm off the hook with my rather scrutinizing wife, and he/they did me the hugest favor with what he/they offered to do it for (that I imagine like only reserved for family or friends), I'm sure he'd treat & do the same for you or anybody.

I'm a widow and getting the car fixed and painted was a big, stressful headache for me. Kathy is absolutely wonderful to deal with, polite, kind and professional and so is the Owner of this establishment. They truly did a beautiful job. The paint job is seamless and the car looks gorgeous again. They also caught a few structural issues and that also was handled by them. The lowest bid I got was over $6,000.00 and went as high as $12,000.00. They did it for thousands$$$ less. But the beauty of it is their workmanship, they really know their craft. So to all the ladies out there having to deal with an accident or damage to your vehicle, do yourself a BIG favor and give them a call, Kathy is wonderful right from the first phone call and will help you and save you thousands going somewhere else. I didn't think I was going to find a shop like this and almost gave up. They are the nicest people, honest, professional, and not outrageous in their pricing, and I would know after going to a dozen different shops, all acting like they were doing me a favor, "normally we charge $8000 but for you mam we are willing to do it for $6500". To the Crew at Bay Colors, I apologize for the lateness of this review. Thank you for the beautiful job and no headaches handling my Lexus 450h.

I've been taking my car to A&S Auto Body Shop for repairs over the past few years, and their service has always been outstanding. After having terrible repair experiences elsewhere, I truly appreciate the honesty and reliability of this shop. Before finding this place, I had visited a well known European Autotech and Big O. Not only did they overcharge, but they also pulled some shady tricks,i had two tires that were practically new, yet they insisted all four needed replacing and didn't even return the two good ones to me. Sure enough, less than seven months later, I had a blowout on my way to Berkeley. When I went back to European Autotech at San Ramon,they claimed there was absolutely no warranty coverage. It was outrageous,I will never go back to that shop again. A and S Body Shop is a completely different story. Their pricing is always fair and transparent,in fact, I usually shop around and get quotes from a few places, and A& S consistently offers the best rates. Even better, the quality of their work is superb. No upselling, no nonsense,just solid, trustworthy, professional service. If you're looking for a shop that won't rip you off and truly stands behind the quality of its work, this is the place to go. Without a doubt, they deserve a five star rating.
