Oh a few years ago left my little Nissan truck down there ended up trading it for doing work on my Camaro. Worst job ever I would never recommend this shop. read more

After a discussion with the owner, I was very impressed how he stands by any work performed at Whitman's. With that I'm changing my rating to a 5. read more

Giving Whitman's a glowing recommendation! Whitman's respected my request for a low cost rear bumper fix instead of pushing for an expensive new replacement bumper or upselling me on painting the bumper. Given the age and mileage of my Audi, I just wanted the repair to be safe. Not only did Whitman's repair my original rear bumper so the damage is almost undetectable, but they completed the work in the same day. Whitman's will be my go-to body shop should I ever need one in the future! read more

Jim and his guys are awesome! Worked miracles with the 5K I had to revive my well-worn, beat-up, dented, dinged, scratched, and faded 2007 FJ Cruiser! read more

Whitman's Auto Body - Body Shops Near Me - San Rafael, California

A great body shop is something you want to have, but never want to go to. In this case, I found Whitmans by recommendation from a good friend of mine who works at an auto shop. They took care of a small dinger on my truck. A few months later, my girlfriend needed her Land Rover front bumper fixed. Lo and behold, a few months later someone hit my Porsche in a parking lot! Finally, when I was out of the country, a tree fell on my 4runner and smashed it up good. So to say I have some experience with this shop is underselling it. Craig and team are freakin awesome. They a trustworthy and will work with insurance or out of pocket to get the job done right and on budget. Just be a good person and don't call them all the time asking when you're going to get your vehicle back. They do a good job sending photos and giving status updates, and good work takes time. read more

I was quoted a price of $7,500 to fix one headlight on my BMW by the BMW dealer. I found Whitmans auto body Jim Mahoney . He assured me they could fix my BMW light for under $2000. Sure enough they came through at $1,700.. My car was fixed with in a day! They were amazing and I would absolutely recommend them again to anyone who needed foreign car repair etc!! read more

I had some clear coat areas repainted on my car that were starting to look blotchy. Dana and Jim were a delight to work with, they kept me constantly updated as to the status. The work that Whitman's completed was flawless and they will definitely be my go-to place should I need work in the future!! read more

I have an insurance claim for a fender, bumper accident and Jimmy and crew handled all the paperwork efficiently and professionally restored my 2+ year old Lexus to look like new. They went above and beyond to make me happy. DK Tiburon read more

Needed front bumper repair on a Tesla. Easy to schedule and reasonably priced. Would use again but hope I don't have to!

Whitman's Auto Body is one of those family owned businesses that take PRIDE in their exceptional work. It is refreshing to see a business operate with such a high level of integrity, respect and appreciation for customer satisfaction. read more

It's been a few painful years but I had this place paint my 1969 Chevy Nova (original SS). My high school car I bought from my deceased uncle. To make a long story short. My car got stolen from their shop after it got painted. Again from their shop! read more

Whitman's has helped with several auto body repair needs. Their service is the best of class. Jim is a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Whitman's Auto Body. Tim W. read more

Patrick is so knowledgeable about cars!! He really care about them but also cares about his clients. He is super honest and provide pros and cons and really talk about what's best for the client. I recently had work done with them and Patrick answered every little questions I had even after hours! He understands what's best for the car and also knows about wraps. The quality of work is notch! Highly highly recommend them! read more

I had not known about Whitman's until my insurance agent suggested it after an incident. Jim was so professional, and attentive to my needs and circumstances, one of which was that my insurance rental allocation had been utilized for another part of the repair process. No problem! Jim supplied me with a very nice shop loaner. When the repair was completed, the new car was once again restored to it's pristine shape. Highly recommend Whitman's Auto and Jim and the team there. read more

Patrick is the consummate professional! His attention to detail is fantastic and his knowledge about cars is amazing---every kind! He tended to my 1997 Mercedes C-230 and made it look like it was brand new...washed it inside and out and I am thrilled with the work done Jim is also excellent and a shout out to him as well. Really, really like this auto body shop...the Best in the West! Clare read more

Whitman's was not only $500 cheaper than other estimates, they also did a fantastic job AND cleaned my car before I picked it up When it took a few more hours to finish the job, Jim gave me a Prius to drive Highly recommended! read more

I took my MB Sprinter Westfalia camper in with rust and rot above the windshield. First I got some good advice. When I did take it in for the repair, Whitman's did a nice job of removing the rust, welding up the rotted places, and painting - all for a fair price. Highly recommended! -Tom- read more

I hope to never have to go back of course, but if I need to fix a dent or worse, I would. I came in for a minor problem that other shops would not even look at, and my issue of bumper plastic knocked loose was fixed on the spot. I was lucky, it could have been worse, but I appreciate the attentiveness and kindness I received for such a small problem. And they didn't charge me anything. read more

Whitman's Auto Body is awesome! Honest, fair and they go above and beyond. Jim assessed the damage and recommended a low cost option which saved $$$. Craig, the owner, was in agreement with Jim's assessment, and Instead of replacing the bumper, they repaired the damage. I am thrilled with the results! It was clear they could have made a lot more money by replacing the bumper - I highly recommend this business! read more

Outstanding customer service. Great workmanship. Unusually for a body shop, I felt a strong customer-centric ethos. It's unusual b/c these guys probably make most of their money off of insurance company payments, which orients their attitude. I came in with a non-insurance covered problem and these guys took an approach that managed my costs well. I think that's decently unusual in this business. Highly recomment. read more

I originally took my car to Chilton's, but they put the bumper on wrong, causing more damage, and did a poor job with paint match. I then had Whitman's do the job right, and was very happy. Friendly service, good communication, and they did a great job with the paint match. Wish I would have gone to them in the first place. 100% would recommend. read more

I never give reviews, but I was blown away by these guys. I needed a new bumper on my Tesla. They worked directly with the insurance company, making it very easy for me. They matched the other estimate I got. They provided a loaner Prius at $25/day which is what the insurance company covered. When I went to pick it up, there was one spot they missed. They were very apologetic, as it was in the estimate. To make up for the delay, they went way out of their way to make me happy. Complete detailing of my car, removed some minor scratches and fixed a couple of small rock dents in the hood. Then they waxed the whole car. I looked like it just came off the showroom. I love these guys. read more

Cant say enough good things about this place. Patrick is the man! I had a few annoying scratches in my car and they took care of them right away. Fantastic customer service and very knowledgeable. I will for sure bring all my auto body business to Whitman's moving forward. read more

Hands down, the best auto body shop in Marin. Craig (owner), Jim (manager) probably have close to 100 years of experience between them! Super honest, incredibly knowledgeable, on-time and quality workmanship. read more

Whitman's is the best around. Integrity, quality, care, and value are the words that come to mind. Patrick, the manager, is a one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet and always makes me feel taken care of. It's a pleasure doing business with Whitmans! read more

Took my car in for some body work. Patrick was extremely nice and extremely efficient, knowledgeable, true to his word and did everything to accommodate my schedule. After my car was fixed, the work was done amazingly well. I cannot recommend this shop enough if you need any body work done. read more

if I could give it 0 stars I would . undffortunately I have to write a bad review which I hate to do . I'm writing this because I took my car to this shop after and accident I explained what needed to be fixed and they said yes . I had the insurance drop it off to them just for them to add more damage to the car and they totaled it after both the insurance and the shop said they could fix it . they left me with a 3,500 balance which the insurance deducted from the car beacause of the added damage. I looked up 5 star body shops around me and Whitmans came up , who doesn't like 5 star places although in this situation it clearly isn't . I do not recommend this place at all . read more

Service par excellence! Never fun to have your car in the auto body shop. A joy to deal with Patrick Doherty. read more

These guys were a pleasure to work with, did a solid job on my BMW SUV, and generally seemed like good people. Will use them again. They also dealt with coordinating with my insurance company and taking that hassle off my hands. Would recommend! read more

Whitman's Auto Body - front hood and wheels redone - Body Shops Near Me - San Rafael, California

When you have the unfortunate need for auto body repair, Whitman's is the place to go. We have occasionally needed this service over many years, and have never been disappointed. Whitman's work is excellent, and is the go-to place for both exotic and ordinary cars. Besides offering the best workmanship, they stand behind the job. When a bumper came loose after a recent repair, it was replaced with no questions asked. This is typical of their endeavor to be sure of complete customer satisfaction. We have referred many friends to Whitman and will continue to do so. They are the best! read more

Whitman's is the most detailed auto body in the Bay Area. Customer service is STELLAR. They go out of their way to make sure you have all of the details of your repair. I had my 2004 SUV repainted because of paint oxidation. Reasonably priced, met the stated completion date. Get this, I even get 2 waxes a year for free to keep the paint shiny and bright!! They also detailed my headlights to remove the cloudiness!! I highly recommend talking to Jim Mahoney for all of your auto body needs!! read more

whitmans saves me every time! their incredible quality of work, honesty and service plus efficiency, flexibility and their we will make it right work ethic is a winning combination. thank you! I am so lucky a friend recommended us to you last year... and I will continue to recommend you to anyone needing great and honest auto body repair work! read more

Whitman's Auto Body has been my first choice for the last five years or so and, given my nearly comic ineptitude behind the wheel and tragically bad car-ma, I have probably averaged two visits per year. I know, I know... It's not a point of pride, trust me. But Patrick always makes it as painless a process as possible and they've won my loyalty by handling all of the back and forth with the insurance company and returning my car to me in good-as-new condition every time. Thanks! read more

My experience with Whitman's Auto Body began with a phone conversation with Patrick whose knowledge and professionalism gave me confidence that I'd be taking my car to the right place.. Patrick and all the people at Whitman's were especially gracious, providing details throughout the repair process and then, in addition to the repairs that much improved the appearance of my car Whitman's finished up with a glowing full inside and outer detail! Thank all of you! read more

I have been bringing my car bear for the last seven years. Patrick is who I usually get on the phone. He is straight forward, a no nonsense guy and his assessment of whatever issues I have with my car, are never over estimated. The quality of work is stellar. I also had some chips in my paint due to dings and rather than tell me to come in for an expensive pain job, he had me come in and saw that all they needed were some touch ups so as not to rust, I could do myself with a paint applicator I could buy from them. It did the trick and saved me tons! Then recently, rats made a big nest in my engine during the rain, and Tony sent me to A&C Mechanics. They were honest too and gave me a free diagnostic, gave me new connection protection cuffs and did it for free! So you can not only trust Whitman's, you can trust who they send you to for anything they can't do. read more

Was parked downtown SF and when I came back to my car, the rear spoiler and passenger door were damaged from what appeared to be a hit and run. Jim went the extra mile to help me repair these damages quickly and in the most affordable way possible (substantially less than other quotes I received). I can't recommend them enough. Thank you SO MUCH to Jim and the team at Whitman's! read more

Had my wife's 2012 Honda Civic hood and front bumper repainted here recently. They did an amazing job and really freshened the look of the car up. Thanks again for your great service, quality work and friendly staff. Will definitely recommend you to my friends and use you again! read more

This shop is by far the best for repairs, handling claims, and doing it all with flair. Excellent service! My 2003 car was hit while parked and I swear after the services rendered it looks better than new. Thank you, Whitman's! read more

I sent a quote request via yelp for a small scratch. Or what I thought was a scratch in a crevice of my back gate. They responded right away and suggested I stop by for an accurate quote. Walked in and Patrick was the only one in the office and super busy but he popped up to help. Walked out to the car and he realized I just had a sticker left over on the car (and it looked like a scratch). Doh! He pulled it off, cleaned it and sent me on my way. While they didn't do body work I'll be back when I do need it. Super sweet of him to take care of it in the spot. Thanks Patrick! read more

This is the best Auto Body shop experience I've ever had. They do great work. If you have to pay out of pocket their price can't be beat and they will go above and beyond. You will get your car back and it will be better than it was before you brought it in. read more
