    The paint job is doing great and looks amazing with getting it all the trim and wheels back. Great job.

    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.

They not only gave me a…read morevery accurate inspection and estimate but also made sure to help me handle all issues with the inquiry. They truly are amazing people.

My car was repaired here after an accident that was 100% the other driver's fault, and the repair was supposed to be handled through insurance (Progressive). When I picked up my car last year, I already paid the amount they asked for. However, months later they started calling me repeatedly, claiming I still owed additional money. The calls were frequent and the staff was very rude on the phone. The most confusing part is that their own documents show that the remaining balance should actually be paid by the insurance company, not by me. I even sent them the insurance company's explanation, but they kept insisting I should pay. I am attaching the documents they provided. The numbers clearly show the inconsistency. If you plan to repair your car here, be very careful with their billing and communication. My experience with their customer service and billing process was extremely disappointing.

Practically unheard of for an autobody shop! California Collision is one of those unicorns. My only regret is not hearing of them sooner. Reflecting back on my involuntary experience of being the receiving end of a rear-end collision on the freeway, California Collision was the clear stand out. Not only did they get my BMW back on the road like it never happened, they handled it like a concierge would. Take that from a regular business traveler that works in the private equity world. George and Team handled everything in my best interests. They are an honest to goodness family business; the real deal- they all share the same last name. The first thing George did during the drop-off process was insist on giving me a walk-thru tour of the *entire* shop and work area. Other shops hesitate and deflect with these requests but George volunteers it first thing without even being asked. After using the restroom on the way out, there was not a corner I didn't see. Communication and customer service is first class- my calls, messages, and emails were always returned in a timely manner. They dealt with insurance and the car rental. I didn't have to do anything besides provide approvals. The job was done exactly how I wanted and even exceeded expectations. My BMW is older now and I expected aftermarket parts but I ended up coming out with all OEM parts at 0 expense to me. Even my optional factory/ OEM+ M-division performance parts were handled. Color match and fit were factory perfect. George is a perfectionist and personally inspects your vehicle after work is done and only releases back to you after it passes his high expectations. I have never ever ever been spoiled by a body shop like this.

    I reached out to George the moment my husband's parked truck got hit in front of our house. The…read moredriver of the other vehicle instantly admitted fault but it didn't make dealing with the insurance companies any easier. We went through our insurance company thinking they would advocate for us and that they would make the process easier. They actually did the opposite. George and Angelina were our contacts at California Collision. They were AMAZING; super responsive, professional yet very personable!! I can't say enough about how great they were while we navigated a stressful repair through our insurance company. They used new Ford OEM parts for the repair vs used or cheap aftermarket parts that didn't fit properly. I never thought our insurance company would try to use the latter but they did. George and Angelina amended a supplement list with them 6 times to fix the truck with the correct/best parts instead of the cheapest. The truck came out beautiful; my husband and I were thrilled with how it looks and handles! The truck looks amazing but it also was mechanically repaired perfectly as well! We are VERY pleased we used California Collision for the repair! They totally go the extra mile for their customers. They even dropped the vehicle off at our house when the repair was complete. Highly recommend!!

I had cosmetic and mechanical work done on my vehicle; and overall, the value of the service provided was excellent. While the panel placement was not perfect, the paint blending to the old panels was flawless: the shop perfectly matched the colors, and I was surprised the shop somewhat replicated the orange peel effect characteristic of an OEM BMW paint job (see PPG Enviracryl clear coat) instead of a boring mirror finish! As for mechanical issues that arose after the initial work, there was a minor oversight after the initial work but the shop was willing to make it right and provided a loaner vehicle in the meantime. Communication between Josiah and I throughout the process was great: he not only was patient to provide repair updates but also was proactive in providing updates when there were supply chain issues. Overall, I am very glad a family friend recommended me to take my vehicle to this shop.

The mechanic is impatient and rude, and the owner's son (judging by his age and last name) is combative and impulsive. If you try to clarify a pricing discrepancy, here's how the conversation might go, it certainly went that way for me: Me: This isn't the price I was quoted over the phone. Owner's Son: I go to church, I am an American. Me: What does being an American have to do with this? Are you implying something? Owner's Son: I don't care if you give me a bad review. I have enough business, so I don't care. Me: But the price you're telling me now is different from what I was quoted. Owner's Son: Are you accusing me of effing lying? Get out. Bye. So there you have it. I genuinely hope they improve, but as of now, I wouldn't recommend this place. Actually I changed my mind, although I won't say I hope they go bad, I don't really HAVE TO hope they improve ;)
