Body Master has repaired my truck twice now. Once before the dealer delivered it, and once for an insurance claim when a rock hit my truck. Both times they have been very communicative and professional. They do great work and they are also car people that understand what car people want. I hope I don't have to use…

This bodyshop is fantastic! I drive a pavement gray 2024 Toyota GR86. My first interaction with them was with progressive insurance after I was rear ended. I needed my full rear bumper and both tail lights to be replaced. They were able to negotiate with insurance and convince them to use all OEM parts. The service was fantastic fitment is perfect. They had to repaint the replacement parts and even after telling there would be slight disparity from factory paint I can’t even tell the parts had been replaced it’s pristine! A small part of the paint dried with a slight cosmetic blemish (small 2cm streak along the edge of spoiler) but they offered to repair it immediately free of charge keeping their quality guarantee! I had to return about a month later when I was struck by a large rock when driving through a construction zone they were able to get me scheduled within a week to knock a dent out and fully repaint my roof. This turned out beautifully as well. All of my experiences have been fantastic, they are incredibly communicative offer very high quality work and have very fast service! Both times my car went in dirty but they also took the care to do a full wash leaving the car spotless and taking care not to scratch the paint when washing. These guys are awesome and I would recommend them to anyone that needs any sort of bodywork done!
