I am so impressed with my experience at G&C, specially with Jesse. I came to them in a lot of distress over removing a possum from my vehicle that was very very stuck and no other auto shop in Lodi that I called would help me. Even though they couldn’t fit me into the schedule that day, Jesse helped me find a shop…

I came to them in a lot of distress over removing a possum from my vehicle that was very very stuck and no other auto shop in Lodi that I called would help me. Even though they couldn’t fit me into the schedule that day, Jesse helped me find a shop that would take care of me, and gave me step by step instructions on what to do. I was so thankful , I walked out feeling hopeful navigating a stressful situation. They were professional, knowledgeable and empathic I would highly recommend based off this experience alone

Wow! I was very impressed with G & C Auto Body. Jesse walked me through the entire repair process, making it completely stress-free. He checked in daily with updates and made sure I didn't have any questions or concerns about the repairs. The work on my door and fender was outstanding— the color match was absolutely perfect. Jesse even took the time to detail part of my bumper, bringing it back to life so it matched the newly painted front fender. That extra attention to detail really stood out. G & C Auto Body did an amazing job from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality repairs and exceptional customer service!

Someone ran into my car and I was instructed to take my car to G & C Auto Body by the their insurance company. Everyone at the body shop was welcoming and business like. I was helped right away and was able to bring my car in almost right away and they were done in a couple days. I was very happy with the work they did! They even suggested to bring in back in a few weeks in case anything needed to be buffed out.
