ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I came in to get my front bumper replaced after a hit and run but I also needed some mechanical stuff done before I went home to visit. They did both for me and gave me an amazing deal! Johnny and his team are reasonable fair and straight forward !

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I came in to get my front bumper replaced after a hit and run but I also needed some mechanical stuff done before I went home to visit. They did both for me and gave me an amazing deal! Johnny and his team are reasonable fair and straight forward !
These guys do an amazing job! I have an older 97' honda domani import that the clear coat was heavily worn on the hood and roof along with a gnarly rust spot on the driver side door. Johnny gave me a wonderful price and knocked out everything even faster than planned with quality looking top notch! He even hooked me…
My civic’s front bumper was falling off and Johnny fixed it to perfection! He communicated clearly the entire time what work needed to get done, why, and how it would affect the total repair cost. I’ve attached photos of the repair so you can see for yourself. Thank you again Johnny!
This is THE most excellent service and work I have ever received having my car worked on. Johnny is amazing!..An excellent job..done fast and the most reasonable price ever!..this guy is old school you guys…and truly cares about his community. No price gauging here!..what a great experience
When I arrived to pick up my truck, I was floored. I did not think my truck would ever look this nice again. Not only did Johnny hit the estimate right on, he had it completed in under two weeks and it was not minor damage. I will recommend him to all my friends and take any vehicle I need body work on to him.
Affordable Body Shop provided excellent service. Their team was friendly, professional, and easy to work with throughout the process. They explained everything clearly, completed the work carefully, and made the experience smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate their great attitude and high-quality service. Highly recommended!

These guys do an amazing job! I have an older 97' honda domani import that the clear coat was heavily worn on the hood and roof along with a gnarly rust spot on the driver side door. Johnny gave me a wonderful price and knocked out everything even faster than planned with quality looking top notch! He even hooked me up with cleaning up the headlights and used some leftover paint he had from the project to touch up some random rock chips I had throughout the car! Couldn't recommend these guys enough, thank you!!

Absolute hands down the best, most efficient cost wise and time wise. Great attitudes. I wish I would have known about this place sooner. 10/10 recommend!!
Johnny did a great job with my repairs after an accident. He gave me the best deal and provided with me multiple estimates and options for repairing other scrapes. I stopped by Friday for an estimate and had my car back on Wednesday, so great turnaround. Johnny was also kind enough to give me a ride when I dropped my car off. All around great experience, and I can confidently recommend his work to anyone.

The most affordable and best place you can find. They completed everything in a timely manner and left my car looking amazing, like nothing ever happened. They even got me a new key fob battery free of charge!! This is the place to go!! The owner is amazing as well and such a chill dude, he’s Korean but speaks perfect Spanish, he loves what he does and it shows. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.
John is so kind; an honest business man who runs a well equipped body shop. My quote From caliber was $1200 more and would’ve taken three weeks. I dropped my car off on Monday, and I got it back Friday morning. Fast and friendly services, the high-quality workmanship was well worth the honest and fair price paid. More than fair! Since this is a family owned and operated business, they do not have someone to answer the phone, so you have to call back until someone picks up. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, John, Wilson, and everybody else who took care of me.
