    My car after the accident
    Karen W.

    My daughter and spouse have used Transtar for body work and a week after my spouse used them, we had to have them look at my car to give me an estimate. One day, I was distracted as I got a distressing phone call 10 minutes before I was to leave the house, and without thinking, I backed out of the garage without straightening my steering wheel. It was an expensive mistake as I damaged the garage door sensor as well as damaging the tire rim which included replacing the side and front bumpers! We took my car in on Wednesday and Phat, the owner, couldn't guarantee it would be ready by Saturday, as we wanted to drive it to a destination wedding on Sunday. However, Phat called us and said it was ready on Friday afternoon! When we got my car back, it looked better than before as Phat had the car cleaned, vacuumed and polished, just like new! What great service!

    Originally, I was going to bring the car to a shop my family has been going to for years.... Sadly they weren't able to take my car in. So I ended up searching on yelp and I DO NOT regret taking my car here to Transtar! Beginning of the month my car had got hit by a drunk driver while it was parked. The driver side panel was messed up and it was just a sad case since the car is so new. Anyways , I called them the next day and they took my car right in! The Communication was great I was updated right away when it would be finished. My car came back to me looking like it did when I first purchased it! Thank you definitely will recommend others and will come back , hopefully not anytime soon tho lol!

    Very satisfied with the work this shop performed. Excellent job they did on my SRT Hellcat. It looks like a brand new car! Thank you Transtar Auto Body!

    Man all I gotta say is my car looks like it came out the dealership! Thanks to Phatz and the guys over at TranStar, HIGHLY RECOMMEND you take your car to them for anything! They do it all! They even went out they way and repaired other stuff along the way!

    Searched Yelp for auto body repair shops to replace a broken bumper. Saw that Transtar had very highly rated reviews and messaged them for a quote. Ended up needing to bring the car in person but the owner quickly gave me a quote and timeline for pickup. He was friendly, kind, and professional. The automated text notifications were a nice touch! When I came in to pick up the car I noticed it was completely cleaned and vacuumed. He also cleaned up my foggy headlights. With the updated bumper, it looked like a brand new car! Hopefully I will not have to return here too often but this place will definitely be my go to for repairs from now on! Can't recommend this place enough!

    Will take my GTR for next maintenance.

    Phat was able to do a less expensive repair which meant I didn't have to replace my entire front bumper.

    My very first time bringing my car to Fix Auto in Alameda. My insurance Company Geico had…read morerecommended Fix Auto to me to get my 2024 ES 350 Lexus serviced with them. Well, the representative (Service Advisor) Dylan won me over with his politeness, professionalism, well mannered, customer services oriented, helpfulness and his gentle and kind behavior. I explained to Dylan exactly what type of damages I had on my car starting with my right bumper, right tire and rim, whistling sound on my right side of my car, paint and cracks on my bumper and my right rear mirror. Dylan listened and he observed. Dylan told me my car would be ready by Friday, July 24th . I was surprise, cause I had dropped off my car on Monday, July 20th. Dylan called my rental car service to pick me up. In addition too I received prior updates text messages from Dylan keeping me abreast on my vehicle. Well, when I drove back to Fix Auto Alameda on Friday in my rental car Dylan had my rental car picked up by enterprise. Wow, What nice services indeed. When I saw my Baby Lexus I was happy as a lark. All of my internal and external damages were fixed and my Lexus looked very new again. Great paint job too. Great job and services to Fix Auto in Alameda! I personally highly recommend Fix Auto Alameda to all of my family and friends. By the way please request Dylan.

The entire team was…read moreincredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making the process as stress free as possible. They treated me like family, answered all of my questions, and kept me updated throughout the repair. The quality of the work was outstanding. My car looks brand new, and you would never be able to tell it had been damaged. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are truly impressive. If you're looking for honest people who take pride in their work and provide excellent customer service, I highly recommend California Collision.

    I used Yelp for a few businesses on repair estimates for my dented front bumper cover on my Rav4…read more Did you know that the car's frame is mostly steel or aluminum to protect drivers and passengers, sensors, electronics, etc. but in most cases the outside cover is bendable plastic for aerodynamic reasons? The bad news is that plastic deforms too much from a collision, you can't just massage it back to shape with a hair dryer. Also, who knows if anything else on the car behind the plastic is damaged or out of alignment. California Collision came to the rescue and was able to replace my bumper cover, have it painted, and then recalibration done for the various car sensors to eliminate fault codes. Even minor collisions can cause sensors to be faulty, so don't assume it's a cosmetic thing and try to cut corners and get your vehicle repaired properly. The job took a few hours one day to paint match, then a separate full day to install, recalibrate, and test drive the vehicle to ensure bo more fault codes. George was extremely friendly and transparent with the repair process. He even gave me a tour of his shop and explained the workflow. Its a family business as his son and daughter also work here. He obviously values work-life balance and is closed Friday-Sunday. Body Shops are not cheap but if you need a thorough repair and want things done right, I highly recommend California Collision. If paying out of pocket, use a debit card with a high spend limit to avoid credit card fees.

I live an hour away now and I will still continue driving out to take my car here !

    Brett and his garage repair shop is great/top-notch! The best mix of high quality and rate around!…read more(trust me, I've called around to 35 shops for their labor rates) I've been taking my cars to Precision Auto Care, but I recently bought a cheap 20 year old used car (hey, it only had 107k miles on it!), so I didn't need any premium pricing costs towards its maintenance. So I went about searching for the best deal around (considering I didn't want to put in too much into a car that are in its last years). After an exhaustive search, you can trust me in saying you won't find better (mix of still high quality, but not premium high quality price cost to go with it) -- you ain't gonna beat his/their rate & quality at $120/hr. Brett is an earnest, eager guy who wants to do all he can to help you out. So I imagine the rest of his team/shop is reflective of that. He's on the younger side compared to other mechanics who run their own shop -- who end up really set in their ways and many have become complacent or too presumptive to be open to anything else or more. I brought in that used car to get a good look over and to confirm what the Pre-Purchase Inspection observed about it. He was able to confirm some things, and clear out some other concerns after taking a closer look at it. Most importantly; he was able to catch the things that he should've, and didn't fabricate more merely to pad on costs -- ultimately making/exampling him as trustworthy. He has since fixed/troubleshooted the car having trouble starting (he diagnosed/figured replacing/upgrading the spark plugs; which did the trick), replaced headlights, and simple oil change. In all, I saw that he properly charged the time appropriately with partial to his per/hour rate -- which, again, speaks to his integrity & trustworthiness (as many sleazy underhanded shops would charge a full hour's work even if it took a fraction of the time). He instilled confidence & faith so much that I brought my brand new 2026 SUV to him (which, I imagine, I would've brought to Precision Auto Care in San Leandro normally to do the high end care) to get the catalytic converter shield installed. His guy did a good job (at the very least I have no complaints, but I'm not so knowledgeable to know much more of a difference). My only qualm about it is I was quoted 2 hours of work, but I did end up having to hang around and wait for 3 hours. But, again to speak to impressive work ethic & integrity, was charged 2 hours. His place processes with impressive paperwork, listing every single aspect looked at and worked on, pricing, cost break down. What makes me a bit nervous is that when I sign for the estimate, it doesn't show cost on it; so if any disputes, any prearranged pricing/cost wouldn't be binding. If he gave less of a trustworthiness vibe, it would be best to insist it be on the estimate. But I get the feeling that I imagine if there was any dispute, Brett would do his absolute best and bend backwards to understand, accommodate, and make it right (even if it would go against established practices). Parking is very challenging. If you can't simply pull in, I suggest calling and talking to him to figure out how he wants it (it's what I've had to do each time). A few times, he would move his VW car from the street parking spot in front of his shop to place my car, others he had used the unused parking lot around the corner (which has since been fenced off; so that's a no-go any longer), and last time he moved a car at the front of the garage to have my SUV enter -- if you aren't confident or new to your car, I HIGHLY urge & suggest you simply have him bring it in; I know for sure I would damage my car (after I initially gave an attempt), while he successfully did it with confidence/experience. And when the car was done, they placed the car in the aforementioned unused parking lot (no-go anymore), or this last time around the corner down a whole block. I drive the 8 miles just to bring it to Brett and Car Care Service; because he offers the best quality service at the best rate around -- being eager to help, decent, high work ethic/trustworthiness, capable, and I know I don't have anything to worry about with him/them.
