I got into an accident today and need recommendations for a top notch body shop, anywhere between San Francisco and San Jose. Insurance will be covering it, so I just want a place that will do a great job and replace everything that needs to be replaced, without cutting corners. Creative Customs (or is it Kreative Kustoms) in San Jose is already on my list. By the way, I searched but everything was East Bay or South Bay specific. Again, I'm looking for anything between SF and SJ.

I was hit in the passenger side corner, at a 90 degree angle, right about where the little orange marker light is on the fender. One JDM headlights looks to be messed up, but it may be salvagable. I'll find out if my insurance will just replace it when I take it in. Fender's obviously toast, as is my entire bumper, front lip, grill and foglight. I'd like for the front subframe to be replaced, as I think it's been torqued pretty good. Anyone have any experiences with this kind of accident? Any input would be greatly appreciated...as would body shop recommendations. Thanks everyone.

 

go to ancor auto body in burlingame

1008 Carolan Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010
(650) 579-2776

they do some good work

 

If they do paint like they detail then it should turn out nice. Some dumb painters ruined a bunch of cars at work with over spray. I didn't notice until I washed the car a week later. I tried everything to get it off but no luck. Cost a lot but they made it look so good the dealer thought it was brand new when I took it in for service.

 

If you're willing to make the drive, Exotic Customs up here in Vacaville does A+ work. They have contracts with the Ferrari dealerships from the Bay.

 

Awesome, thanks guys. If there are any other recommendations, please keep em coming.

 

Hey,

There is a great body shop right next door to us, it's called Union City Autobody. They do great work, and they are real nice guys. You can swing by and they will give you an estimate anytime before 4 pm.

does AAA and Farmers. did a GREAT job with my car

 

I worked in rental car for awhile and got a very good idea of body shops to trust and not
The most consistantly good shop I know of is Mathews Carlsen in Palo Alto (behind the Honda Dealership).

No matter what you do do not take your car to Cavallino Collision - I have never seen such a consistant line of pissed off customers
